I ran electric lines down every block i didn't know you just have to touch the blue save me money thanks

I didnt really care for settlement builds when i played the game years back, but because of the HBO series and watching fallout building videos, I got a new taste for it, I got some mods (ps4) and so on, and while i might be cheating with 999+ materials in the settlements, i still find myself having a blast building them. I heard that Hnagmans alley is painfull to build in, and sure, its a small space, but I feel i got a silly but neat settlement build there. Fallout 4 settlements is a challenge, and i like that, I do prefer the smaller settlements, as i find the big ones to be more challenging, idk i like cramped places for builds.

Just about to start another play through with the new update.

So wait, if you use a timed consumable that raises Charisma, do you have to add people inside that time limit?

That last option for supply lines though 😂 I had it as sanctuary in my first few play throughs and all I can say is the last thing you hear after losing that save file will be 200 glitching moo's and 200 NPC voice lines about easy living slowly glitch into nothing as the file dies 😂😂

Where do you get those street lamps? I can’t find them anywhere and the old ones won’t let me attach a wire.

I strip everyone of their clothes 😂

The best combat rifle is the Overseers Guardian !!!!!!!!! Just saying.............. Or the Kiliton Radium Rifle from the gun dealer in the Nucleus in the Far Harbor DLC...............

Best video ive seen about settlements in the te years ive been playing this game

You build stuff in places, the game spawns raiders to destroy it.

Man! Your good! Fine intel.But I got no patience for all that building! I prefer to only build what is absolutely neccessary and preferably as quickly as possible! Any suggestions or maybe you can make a tutorial about it.Something for lazy players! Lol.Keep the good work! Solder!

You can find fusion cores in cars?!?

Dropping nukes in style! The repeat cut was too funny 🤣

About to start my first proper playthrough so the timing is perfect!

The worst thing here is that I just walled off the movie drive in place and now saw this amazing rug trick.. Still thanks!

So, I'm playing my first round of FO4 and my main hub is Sancturay (as it should be). In one of the Preston missions had to unlock Hangman's Alley and set the beacon, for some I forgot about it and left it on, honestly I didn't plan to use that settlement but once when I returned I had about 20 people living there in the ruins left by the raiders. 0% happiness. I dunno if what I did was right, but I made everyone to move around the supply lines. The place is empty basically since everyone is on the move so it's mostly a central hub to move resources. Should I grow that place like making a market or relocate that people? I only have like two beds, a few turrets and that's it. The place is not suitable for food and water growth. I think as a merchant hub could work. Any tips?

Warehouse then Posts can do a lot of tricks too👍🏾

I make Marcy Long a long-haul provisioner.

Strangely in my current play through I’m not getting radiant minutemen quests but every play through seems to have one glitch or another😂

OMG MOVETHEMOUSE!!! I remember watching your first series on Cities skylines

Great video I learned a lot thanks.

Here are some other suggestions that are usually not covered in such videos. Like 'Mover the Mouse' said, make your trade routes all filter to one settlement. I usually call this the "Primary Settlement". In short, this is the one you like to visit the most. Sanctuary is usually the default, but Castle, Spectral Island, or any place with lots of water and food is best so you can get the goods easily. Making a grand large settlement is great, but for some (including me) running around a large town to sell goods can get tiresome or annoying (especially if you are overloaded). Your Primary Settlement should have the workstations, the shops, and your personal quarters (if you make one) all close by so you can make quick drop offs and go back to killing or salvaging. This does not need to hold true with other settlements. Making some personal quarters for yourself also helps. Keep it so it's hard for other settlers to reach, like put settler quarters near the farmland or a bar. They will usually go for the nearest bed with easy access. Make your quarters to your own liking, but a good practice is to use display cases. Why? Weapon storage and armor storage. Why search through a long list in a toolbox list for the gun you want when you can just go to a wall and get the gun you need by sight. It's easy on the eyes, allows you to swap weapons quickly, and makes a decent decoration. Keep various types of guns in this weapon's room since you get different types of ammo. Run out of one ammo, swap out to another gun, and move on. If it's in your personal quarters, take a quick nap afterward for an experience bonus. Quick and simple. In short, you want EASY AND QUICK ACCESS in your Primary Settlement. Whatever you like to do, put it close to where your character spawns, preferably near the workstation. Concerning armor and clothes, I recommend making separate safes and boxes. I usually put a floor safe next to the workstation so I can store special items I don't think I'll use but keep in case I want them. Clothes I want to keep are put in some drawers near the workstation. Mannequins are good for armor you plan to switch out quickly. Put them in front of your Clothes Store and you got a display area for your store. Also, Settlers are dumb! They love to clog up stairs or passages (and get stuck on roofs or through elevated floors). When making a staircase they need to use to another level, put another set of stairs next to it. Make multiple entrances. Small single passages into areas (like an entrance to a bar) always makes a large clog of people. Settlers need lots of space unfortunately and are too dumb to figure things out. These are some of my suggestions.

This has been extremely helpful well explained going to help a lot

i dont get it. i keep seeing next generatio. updates but there is nowhere near enough stuff added to qualify all these videos. most of these videos about the next generation update will at most, talk about the new quests. i never hear about the settlement stuff or even the weapons and armor the quests provide. not to mention the typical „netflix adaptation“ that they did with this 9 year old game. i will never watch it but its funny that many of the newer fallout 4 videos are to new players. as if anyone unfamiliar with the game will start playing it. everyone knows what fallout is at this point

its a shame i cant get this to work no matter how many times i follow this video exactly.

🇿🇦4:30am in the morning I've been up all night watching this series, I love it

Excellent video, very useful info, very well presented. Question, which mod were you using to add greenery, flowers on trees, etc?

Dild you remember to go back to the SPECIAL book, iirc it gives you the extra stat point.

"Preston: You can expect me to help settlements or to stay away from chems. You cannot expect both! - The General" Lol

If you have a charisma of 10, and then pick up the charisma bobble head, you will get a base charisma of 11

Been playing this game for years and didn’t know about tier 4 shops/vendors

You forgot about the leader ring

Help me get my pip boy back!

This is in reference to having purified water: You can sell your purified water at traders around the world map to offset the costs of buying shipments of supplies. Die note, you deposit those shipments with the “store all junk” button when you arrive at that settlement location. Your character will remain to have those shipments until doing so. Or you can store specific shipments to workshops by storing that specific shipment in it. Purified water is also great on survival. It will allow to heal during combat. You can drink multiple waters at a time to increase your recovery rate. I sometimes do this to out heal strong DOT like poison of Mirelurk Queen

Hey thanks for this video. I started playing fallout 4 again a few weeks ago and never really understood the specifics of settlement building

Best ways to increase Charisma passively: get the charisma bobblehead when you have 10 charisma to have a base of 11 charisma rather than 10. Get as much sharp gear as you can, which adds +1 intelligence and +1 Charisma. By the way, Covenant sells one in the form of a combat helmet. Or if you're more daring, get Unyelding gear instead of sharp and Unyelding adds +3 to all special stats when under 25% health (you have to play with low health naturally, but it's not as scary as it might seem because is you have a lot of Unyelding gear on, you'll have a lot of endurance/health plus enough agility to make you as easy to spot as an air particle). Regardless, I believe the you can have a max of 30 settlers at a settlement.

An use the horizon m😅d to make your game hard

1:10 you can install a mod to kill the npc, an take the settlement. By doing this slow the game down a lot

Even if there aren't enough beds, settlers will still show up aa long aa the beacon stays on so, be careful that you turn that thing off lest your settlement ends up overpopulated.

Any safe or locked box can be scrapped and contents sent to workbench. No need to waste Bobby pins.

useful and straight to the point - thanks!

I played this on PS4 back in the days. I remember that in the more dangerous areas you could build like a tower with turrets to handle spawning enemies. And it was very effective.

every channel says new sttelers wont come if you don't have enough beds and thats NOT true

which mods are you using pls? especially the grass/foliage and water ones. cheers :)

Cheat Terminal, USO, Place Anywhere and Scrap Everything. Those mods mean building anything.

you sound like the guy that plays the survivor.

I hate part new update Why you post non pc someone will change game Ie settlements items disappear Stats change lost perception Your damage taken goes way down cutting you damage by half Saved often and check your stats often cause I had go back losing progress cause guy that crap minded wtf Wish they fix this crap

Number 4 of the Wasteland Survival Guide (#4, The Scrapyard Home Decoration Guide) also gives you some decoration. The two flamingos to be specific.

Without mods you don't need any defence you might get attacked by 3 or so raiders every 3 or so weeks real time

i always use the Hub supply line method centering on Mechanist's Lair. i build a bunch of Sentry bots outfitted with plenty of weapons. (always remember the Robots lower happiness because they have a max happiness of 50 so having them all centered in that one settlement keeps that down. a Provisioner counts towards the max settler count for the settlement it was sent out from originally) i then simply name each bot based on the settlement its heading out to.
