Average Red Rocket Renovation

[@proxy0119]

Fun little fact about gates opening in or out of your base: In medieval times gates were built so they would open inward, because when the enemy would attack, the soliders that would close the gate could be behind it and they wouldn't get shot. (Apologies for any mistake in my grammar, english is not my main language)

[@BugandTheBoysNetwork]

Ah, thanks. That's pretty interesting.

[@CatPopeII]

dude your grammar is better than a lot of comments from native speakers and thanks for sharing the interesting fact

[@The_Time_Change]

It makes more sense than what we do now.

[@Sperkowitz]

​@@The_Time_Changepublic buildings doors should open outward for safety. If there's a panic trying to pull back a door with people crowding will be very difficult. Also, restaurants need a balance intake and outtake air. Sometimes the system goes out of balance then the pressure is too high inside. Pulling on a door to get out is much harder. Private homes air balance and crowds isn't a concern so inward is safer. Rescue can break through easier, and you can put more strength on pushing a door, say, someone is trying to get by you at the door.

[@queenannsrevenge100]

There’s a reason doors typically open inward, especially defensive doors: Hinges are a weak point.

I love going for that pure wasteland appeal, too, when I make settlements. Something about making a pristine settlement never really fit right.

I'd recommend downloading "Scrap (not quite) Everything." It's a configurable addon to Scrap Everything that disables scrapping for certain structures. For example: The Red Rocket building.

[@lunarbeetlejuice9768]

If you’re playing on Console, specifically XB1/S/X, Scrap That Settlement works really well! Major structures aren’t affected by it, and as far as I know because of that it doesn’t break precombines, so Boston isn’t an absolute chug to walk through while it’s installed. Only downside is having to install DLC specific addons and addons to scrap enemy bodies, but it does come with the ability to scrap pre placed skeletons and bodies.

[@LightningPenPen]

fantastic build, and I love that this is a reasonable base to have built in an actual playthough, and not effectively a 'creative mode' build. As for the mining helmet, the red light is one of my fav's, allegedly, red light doesnt ruin your night vision nearly as much as blue or white, so when doing astrophotography or just using a telescope people tend to prefer red lights. IDK if thats real or not, but for that reason, I like to use the red one on my char if they are sneaking about or are a night owl.

[@johnruckman5397]

Personally I build out Sanctuary hills 100%, then I do Red Rocket as the intersection point for all my caravans. Every other settlement is trade routed to Red Rocket, and red rocket is trade routed to Sanctuary. Means there’s almost always activity but I don’t have to worry about actually supporting a population in a tiny place like Red Rocket.

[@psychonautsummer1972]

Red Rocket is the only one I didn't do Sim Settlement mod for and it ended up being my main base, I have like 23 people there right now

[@Bludobi9001]

There is a mod that completely fixes up Red Rocket (and some other settlements) that prevents you from scrapping the whole building. Though still need to be careful since foundations and floors can still be scrapped.

[@maxrander0101]

its an addon to scrap everything called not quite everything when you install it you pick which items you want removed it also stops you from deleting the foundations in sanctuary and you can set it to scrap everything but the main building of the red rockets if used with the salvage robot that does it for you they can clean up those area in about 15 mins

[@mmxcix]

​​@@maxrander0101Unfortunately, installing Automatron DLC currently brakes the game at launch (can't even get to the menu) and makes it unplayable. The workaround is to uninstall the entire game and reinstall without the Automatron DLC. Which means no salvage robots at this time until they fix the issue.

[@daltondaily1540]

A little late, but there are actually railings under Wood Misc that you could maybe have used as half-walls. I use them a lot myself to help cover broken windows, add a little extra variation into walls, etc etc.

[@AerialsAboveCreations]

You should look up the shortcut keys for 'Place everywhere.' One lets build out of the green zone limit without workshop closing, and the second one is surface snap, it lets you easily sink items into the ground like the cars near the gate

Red rocket is my favorite settlement. Something about the run down gas station base just feels right for a post apocalypse. I always use it a personal house, no settlers. I just wish I could remove the actual pump arms, but that’s what mods are for.

[@thebaconcruesader]

Something that always confused me with the is that no one tidies up the junk and trash, like don't get me wrong- I get it because, well it's a wasteland But in settlements, they just have like a pile of trash next to their bed or something and it's like.. hello? LOVE the renovation, I also use RR as a base of operations!

[@ProclarushTaonas]

I had mods installed when I played that let me leave the settlement space while still in build mode. I would build my settlements entirely out of world props that I would drag back to my base one at a time. Absolutely loved it.

Hey when you're building an outside wall, you can use the fence items as half-walls, but they won't snap to those large house pieces you were using; you'd have to use some flooring or something else flat to walk on.

[@dawidpawlak6330]

Gates acutally usually open inwards, because in an emergency you want your people to be able to close it without going out of the walls

[@ProjectBoredomKiller]

Nice build. I like the junk fences. But using fairly intact vehicles for cover is a really bad idea. I mean REALLY bad. Especially that close together. This holds true anywhere in the Commonwealth.

[@BugandTheBoysNetwork]

Personally I think it's the funniest cover to use

[@Duchess-of-Camelot]

Nice video. Btw you can scrap the trash under the workbench but you have to look down and to the right. It will eventually highlight the trash so you can scrap it.

[@PaulDozierZZoMBiE13]

This little spot ended up being one of my favorite settlements. Similar to your design, I had walls all around and defenses atop the roof. Power on the roof as well. Built them some beds and ended up keeping most of my companions here at this settlement. Except Piper, who lived in my sky fortress at the drive-in theater. Now that was a fun base to build!

[@ShiryouOni]

I always build rooftop gardens on my playthroughs, it's a bit difficult to get the pathing and elevations but once you do it adds a decent amount of space to the plot.

[@jingby]

Be very careful with Scrap Everything. On the surface it looks fine, but down the line it can cause lag spikes and crashes due to precombines being broken into seperate pieces. So be mindful. A mod like Spring Cleaning as opposed to Scrap Everything is much more stable as it only allows certain things to be scrapped (not buildings or anything), which is usually just trash stuff and rubble

[@RaiKov]

Did not see it mentioned here, but I felt the same way whenever putting down flat surfaces like wood etc. There are certain foundation items (e.g., Concrete) that allow you to control the exact depth, rotation etc of the floor. It's still janky because the terrain is never perfectly level. But it is much better than having flat floors with the ground/grass sticking up. Can always use smaller stairs and steps to allow access for NPCs. Also, tip for all: *settlers sleep in your bed, take your guns, POWER ARMOR (if you leave a Core in them), food etc. Solution - have your home/quarters high enough off the ground so you can reach it by jumping. Settlers and raiders will not be able to get in and your stuff will be safe.*

[@PlutonianWretch]

Enjoyable watch! I'd suggest using the hotkeys for place everywhere to avoid the floating floors and stuff. Helps slightly imo, but doesn't completely fix the uneven terrain.

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

"Scrap Everything" & "Insignificant Object Remover" are worth their weight in gold. The mod that moves workbenches is essential as well. "Rebuild Red Rocket" can turn it into a true home with nice floors, painted walls and working window shutters. I probably wouldn't bother building anything if I was limited to the vanilla workshop, it really isn't fit for purpose IMO.

Actually, from medieval times up to this day if you want, gates opened inward to make sure that knights could shut them quickly while remaining in cover. Having them opening outwards would just force men to exit the safety of your fortress, risking their life to close the door.

I like to put the defensive wall outpost where you put the wall under the sign. That way my settlement has someone keeping watch of the road and can shoot at pesky bandits before they reach my gates.

For your next building project, if you haven't already, use the Place Anywhere mod, which will allow you to stack things or even put things in the air if you want. It's a lifesaver and gamechanger for building stuff. It even lets you rotate/inch things up,down,left,right, (and resize things!) etc for fine tuning and precision!
