Breaking Down Fallout 4's Newest Settlement Glitch...

[@BWTF_Ben]

This is absolutely extraordinary. Amazing how so many years later new glitches are still being found. Excellent work!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Dutch told me about this a few hours before releasing their vid and I was amazed when I tried it myself. I think there are still more settlement glitches to be found. In fact I know there are more to be found.

[@AyroTysk]

Love that people still discover glitches like that. Makes me want to play Fallout again

[@Lancer_Lott]

Testing finally done and presented nicely with a very informative explanation. Thanks for taking the time to experiment with this, it looks fun. 👍

[@lastdayer101]

You and Skooled Zone are my favorite niche channels. Fallout 4 settlements is probably 1000 of my 2000 hours.

[@wrenblythee8678]

GLAD TO SEE U BACK!

[@CRYOKnox]

This will change so much thank you for sharing and I thought I know most of this. Finally I can cover Spectacle Island's Ruin in something else than concrete and vault piece's.

[@fallout4myth940]

Haha I saw the reddit post. Great explanation!

[@toytacambery9427]

Nice, innovative discovery. Huge props to Mr. Sweet Shid

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Very well put together vid Squeasy! Nice to hear that Longfellow's has been added to the list.

[@TangoandCaps]

Great video and i actually learned something about settlements work. I guess we're gonna get alot more settlement builds at sanctuary and spectacle Island now....lol I watched Dutch's video the other day and it doesn't work at nuka world, Then again I wasn't group selecting anything like you were so maybe I should check it again just to make sure. I was certain that nuka world was big enough. Cool looking build you got going on there BTW 👍

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Group select is not required for the ghosting to happen but it does make placing the items much easier. I would recommend always group selecting with a pillar or similar item.

[@TangoandCaps]

@@TheInsaneShecklador cool, I did try nuka world again, this time starting outside the build area and running all the way to the other side and going outside the build area but nope.

[@dcross6360]

Damn, I unknowingly found this years ago and didn't know it. The large settlement builder using the lounger chairs

[@Latviyskiymamkinpolitik]

I managed to get this in my capital slog build (i got it randomly while watching this video)(and yes slog is actually a good place for a capital build)(and maybe i got it thanks to extended settlements mod)

[@thewatcher5248]

Liked and subscribed. Cool. Idea. Nice video 1st time seeing this channel good job.

[@KevinAlibert]

What a cool glitch! And very well explained 😃 It might change the way i build in these locations and make fixing houses a lot easier. I'm wondering if there is a way to trick the game on other settlements by running out of the settlement borders while in build mod and using shecklador's jet trick to run far enough away to unload the cell. When i'll have the time to lkay i might experiment a bit (i can play about 20 minutes every fortnight atm so it's not anytime soon)

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

I messed with that a little bit when Dutchsweetshid first discovered the glitch. Wearing the power armor legs and chest piece (no Oswald's hat) along with taking some jet I was able to run out the back of Abernathy and just before reaching the electrical tower the items would ghost out. I wasn't able to make it back inside the build area quick enough though. I was at 155% movement speed. Oswald's hat would have made it 165%. I also tried at Starlight and The Castle but couldn't get the items to ghost. Stacking sprinters armor might give us enough speed but I haven't had the time to test it yet.

[@UnkieNic]

great explanation, really well done

[@MaryMDoyle]

Has this glitch appeared since the update? I'm asking because I'm having a whole load of bugs with settlements since the update. I don't use mods but I do use some CC items and well everyone has CC since the update. I started a new game after the update - Bug with Vault 88, I couldn't lower the build cap so had a very tiny vault then 20 or 30 ghouls spawned in the middle of the atrium not an attack point and 4 settlers died, I moved everyone remaining to other settlements, I scrapped the whole vault and I had to drop over 9,000 in weight in weapons to get the build cap to start moving and I rebuilt the vault, it still has issues, The water only gives 80 yet still technically gives 100, I have a video explaining this. Bug Albernathy Farm, After an attack I noticed some tatos needed repairing, I couldn't repair them and after trying this I noticed all the settlers were standing in a row, I checked the vault tec settlement console and everyone had been removed from their jobs including provisioners, I assigned everyone back to work and tried repairing the tatos once again all settlers were unassigned, the only way to fix this was to use console commands to disable the tatos. Bug Finch Farm, I had 3 Brahmin that had naturally arrived at the farm, there was an a huge attack from the gunners, after that I decided to rebuild the Farm and one by one the 3 Brahmin walked out of the barn and lay down a died, I used two cages to bring 2 more in and as each one was released they too lay down and died, Plus I have a settler who is permanently standing outside the farm who is immortal - I have a video explaining this too. I have the enclave constantly attacking Covenant and the BoS attack after they are gone, and all enclave missions are finished, video explaining that also. The only glitch I have that is a benefit is I can build every turret once I leave the vault.

[@vegastrina]

My game appears to have improved since the update, but the tato unrepairable issue at Abernathy I think was there since before the update and I have the same issue with unrepairable food at Santuary behind the workshop house, and the game crashes if I try to remove them, but I figured they were problems because I didn't know they were broken during an attack and discovering them later after the broken food stuck. Abernathy people did suddenly start lining up in one area at bedtime after update, it was weird, assigning them to new beds seemed to have helped, not sure if it is fully fixed...I haven't tried removing and replacing the bed I think they were all trying to go to, figured that I'd hang out there later to be sure...also had a bed issue in another settlement, fixed after assigning and walking the npc there to make sure pathing wasn't an issue...can't remember the name at the moment. Had a settlement brahmin suddenly disappear one day when a vendor's brahmin got stuck in town without him...the guy who sells armor, I forget his name. His brahmin was fixed...my brahmin wasn't as of this post, this is Sanctuary. I discovered that settlers travel outside their settlements by travelling to other settlements or visiting places, but they get attacked, I'm pretty sure that's how I lost one before I learned that they wandered around the Commonwealth. The synth/robot bug at the island still seems to be a thing. You have to swim them over, not teleport if you want to keep them out of the water. I haven't built there. Thanks for talking about your issues...something to keep an eye out for. I'm on PS4 and haven't played my PC version...it would be interesting to see if your bugs are platform related.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

I've seen items ghost at Spectacle several times over the years. I never thought to try sticking ghosted items into other items until Dutchsweetshid's video. My guess is this trick has existed for a long time but nobody found it or if they did they didn't make it public.

[@MaryMDoyle]

@@vegastrina Thank you for replying, all of these bugs are new to me I have only played on PC.

[@MaryMDoyle]

@@TheInsaneShecklador I've never seen it before hence why I asked was it since the update, thanks for the reply.

[@CanEHdianBobtoo]

I have the Can't repair broken tato bug also. It only seems to be the last row furthest from the home. I have also had settlers at Abernathy stand around near the brahmin and do nothing. I don't use mods until I have all the achievements.

[@fdfrancisdaniele]

Incredible

[@jetjaguar1976]

Excellent explanation. 👍

[@Jarmen__Kell]

Isn't Dalton Farm and Echo Lumber Mill also large enough for this glitch?

[@OrangeSqueasy]

no. feel free to test yourself.

[@brianmcmeat1306]

Nice

[@thewatcher5248]

I haven’t been able too find a video on all the items that PUT PENALTIES ON YOUR STATS. I really want too know without going on survival mode what items lower stats and how low can you get them like I can only get 10 strength down by 3. Perception by 5. Maybe 6. Plz do video. Or if you’ve done one stick the link to it in my comment reply plz thank you.

[@ErosXCaos]

There’s a couple I can think of. Tattered Rags, like the ones Sheffield wears, reduce Luck by 1. Drugged Water, from the Hallucigen building, lowers perception by 1. You can get addicted to chems, where most will lower one stat or the other. X Cell addiction lowers every stat. Otherwise, if you’re in survival mode, sleep, hunger and thirst fatigue can lower stats. There might be more, but I can’t think of any.

[@mschulmeister6519]

And as usual, now i want to play this game yet again... But i already did a settlement builder run this year, i have to wait some more weeks until 2025 so i don't look insane :)

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

It's OK to be insane when it comes to settlement building.

[@sofageneral5498]

😳it's really amazing

[@Mightimus]

There is a mod for this

[@OrangeSqueasy]

Which is explained in the video 😱😱😱

[@gumbyshrimp2606]

Holy Crap

[@solo-pro]

i didn't know this was new lol

[@HelloTher1313]

webfishing :00

[@jacobhealy8376]

why would you use pokemon music dont you like monetization?

[@OrangeSqueasy]

Interesting you say that considering KZbin has been giving me checks on videos with Pokémon music for years now lmao

[@JoMcD21]

😮

[@Jess-Baumgartner]

Is this functional on console Fallout? 😮

[@OrangeSqueasy]

yes

[@BruceLee-kf7rl]

There's no need to bother with these exploits when you are already using mods

[@OrangeSqueasy]

I dont give a shit about mods.

[@JourneyOnLife]

The only mods I care about are the ones with new stories : )

[@j.m.2022]

I'm using only 4 very popular build mods on the Xbox (scrap everything, Snappy Housekit, S'more, and Place Everywhere), but I've found that the mods I use have totally disabled the group select feature. It's definitely the fault of the mods since I can reliably use the group select function if I stay in a vanilla save. So, rather than mods solving everything, they do tend to create different glitches as well. Then there's the constant issue of jigging around with the load order whenever trying out new mods. It would have been nice if Bethestda had put more effort into cleaning up and adding to the vanilla build system in the game when they did the Next Gen Update.

[@themayoroftrusham1751]

I wonder how she/they can continue to play this game after so many years?

[@theATkid]

Are you trolling? You almost got me lmao

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Why are you watching after so many years?

[@darkenergy9829]

That glitch has been around since the game came out

[@OrangeSqueasy]

And yet the first videos to actually bring it to light came out 9 years later

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

It likely has but has anyone discovered or shown it in public before?
