My ability at designing and building is seriously lacking, however, I now have a stunning new camp. Thank you so very much for taking the time to assist us with your superb tutorials, you are a legend. Ad victorium elder Kiki B.

[@lanekelley4675]

I have this camp as well. I have a ton of purifiers out front with only one locked. I've had this camp for about 6 or so months. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@perrisneuman4896]

I have been meaning to learn more about camp glitches so I decided lets go, I'm going to build this . I managed to make it happen (The shell, at least) save for the post by the generator (I was probably in less of an optimal spot by chance) and it really got me zazzed to try some more crazy stuff. I stumbled on your channel by mistake but your 76 videos are some of my favorites. Thank you, Overseer.

[@crosby-br5425]

What a coincidence, I visited someone's camp last week that look exactly like this and now KZbin recommended me the tutorial. Really cool build!

You are an artist, I’ve built several builds at this location but yours is by far superior to my builds. Thanks for the time you put into the video.

Great Camp! The gf has been saying I should build in the Mire. I'll try this design out!

[@kikibplays]

Thanks, so glad you liked it!

[@POExTAYxTOES]

I am in LOVE with this build! Followed this guide step by step and this will be my main camp for a long time I’m sure. Stunning!

[@Kat-xt9wh]

The is such a great build! I love how your builds are so well incorporated into their envoirments!

[@Courier_Eris]

You should use the greenhouse walls to close up the gaps on the second and bottom floor. You'll still get the great view without the fear of falling😁. Absolutely beautiful camp!!

[@anikiwi]

I’m embarrassed to say I never noticed the dam 😂 I can’t stress enough how much I love this build.

[@Nuggyv420z]

💯

[@blueyez3745]

I saw this video and instantly went to build something like yours. It literally took me building and redoing about 5 times, but I finally got it and I will probably keep this build for a very long time. It's my favorite. Thank you for doing yours because otherwise I probably wouldn't have even given it a second look 💗much love 💕

[@kikibplays]

Thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! This is still my favorite camp, too 🥰

[@kikibplays]

Thanks so much! I'm happy to say that over a year after making this video, I still have this camp. Still my favorite 🙂

[@last2nkow]

I'm astounded. What a wonderful idea! I'm not ashamed to say I thunk im going to steal the concept and maybe location and theme it to a free states survivalist build. I think one solid concrete block on the bottom floor, maybe next to the child's room in this build would be a very cool spot to put a shelter entryway, as though building into the land under the river or the land underneath, perfect for a secret mine settlement!

[@kikibplays]

Steal away! I did a similar thing and put my mine entrance up against the rocks at the top of the dam.

[@last2nkow]

@@kikibplays thanks! It's something I'm really excited about, I love my shelters, I made a 2 deep Mine shelter out if the vault enterence and the actual Mine shelters and u don't want ro lose them when I move. I'm so damn happy with them, all lore friendly and stuff :)

I also had no idea this place existed. However, my design was military in concept, using the Enclave parts (with a few Brotherhood of Steel sprinkled in). Thanks Kiki!!

Whipped this up under an Enclave theme. I like having multiple camps, one for each region, and besides the Angler and Mutant attacks this place couldn’t be a better spot for me in the Mire. Definitely cozy.

This is amazing work and dedication. I allways screw up my camps by not checking the overall radius of the building area. Haha, so I'm like, damn i can't place things at this part of the camp. And I will redo it on another site, yeah redo the mistake that is. 😊

Can you go over the wiring/power next time? That is the hardest thing for me! Awesome build, Kiki!

[@kikibplays]

Absolutely, thanks for reminding me I was working on a wiring video 😅

[@King_Aardvark]

Something to try... I've swapped out the fusion generators on 2 camps. One is completely powered by a single future tech generator, the other has 1 future tech generator and 2 solar panels. The number of camp attacks went down significantly. In fact, the one with the single generator now spawns enemies that just meander around and normally don't attack anything. Also, both camps have large crop farms.

[@kikibplays]

That's really interesting, I'll have to try that out!

[@King_Aardvark]

@@kikibplays Not sure how effective this works if you're building on or near an enemy spawn point. Both of the camps I've tried this at are clear of spawn points.

[@Jason-Faraday]

Defo going to try a build here!

[@andrewprofitt6898]

I've remade my main camp about 5 times. I can't help but only build in the Electric Tower behind silva farm, the double resource cliff south of foundation, and the Corner building in Charleston.

[@actionvestadventure]

Another excellent build! I did learn a few things... i've been playing this game since the beginning and never knew about that dam heh. You'd think by now I'd have seen everything in this game but sometimes a slight alteration to your offroad adventures could have you stumbling upon something new.

[@kikibplays]

Thanks! Same here - started with the beta, yet everytime I think I've seen it all, I find something new...

[@kylelitjens9431]

Love it!

[@crimgate2950]

I love this build! Sadly, im having trouble implementing it for my own camp. Currently stuck in a paradox of "cannot remove item" with stairs, or it won't let me leave walls without floors while i was working on it

[@kikibplays]

Change the walls to doorways while you work, that will let you move and remove floors. If you're working with the 1x2 stair gantries, you won't be able to remove them if there are any walls touching them. Remove any walls around them, and you should be able to delete the stairs (as long as there are no floors attached, of course).

[@signedbysad3860]

this is nice. i built a camp here too would love to share

[@Gagboy223]

rly nice job! :)

[@alvin2021]

[@kikibplays]

[@vippassin]

Love the build. Question, how did you connect a floor to the lower part of the top concrete foundation? I just cant get the floor to snap in, so the how upper build is wrong. I tried use another way but i was then unable to delete the floors 😅 🤔. ❤X

[@adame472]

Agree 💯

[@baconGrease0]

Love the video, i was able to replicate most of the build except for your brick walls and iron fences. I can't get my front door on though,,,,, any tips? Thx

[@kikibplays]

I've noticed that doorways that don't have floors attached have been tricky lately. In this case, first try a different door (usually the basic wood with broken glass panes will work when others don't, and you can change it to another door after). Second troubleshooting option is to remove and re-place the doorway wall - sometimes that's all it takes to allow a door to snap. I had the issue the other day when I was building some floating structures with no floors. If that doesn't do the trick, remove the stairs coming down off the porch and either snap a foundation in that spot if you can, or build some stairs up from the floor below so that you can place an upper floor there. Then you should be able to snap your door in and remove whatever floor you used (hope that makes sense).

[@baconGrease0]

@@kikibplays I’ll try each method till it works, thanks for the fast reply, I’ve been neglecting building a proper camp till I came across this video. Not going to bed till I finish so it’s greatly appreciated🙏 Have a good one!

[@kikibplays]

Good luck!

[@baconGrease0]

@@kikibplays little update, After lots of frustration and time i eventually restarted from the base foundations and as soon as the foundation was placed at the top of the dam i placed a second foundation where the stairs were and was able to place the walls facing out towards the porch and was finally able to snap a door into there. I don't think i'm ever going to build another camp again so I'm happy this is what ill be staying with. Thanks for the help!

[@brouger]

Just built a version of this using your video as a guide. It's a stellar build!. Cant find out how to do the 2 small columns on the rug blueprint though :(

[@kikibplays]

This video explains it, I've switched to a small statue which works better. Also, I've noticed that since a recent update, you need to break the statue with the flamer trap before you put the column on top of it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnS4h2xslN6dh5I

@Kiki B plays... I used the Mothman stein and it worked perfectly! Thanks for the help and keep the amazing videos coming! 😀

Glad to hear it, and thanks! Happy building!

[@portagasAce]

Hello, I really liked the camp. Will it have any raider ones?

[@notkutiel5251]

No matter what I do I can not get the first foundation in place, is it meant to be fully back against the dam? How much space should be around it? What should I be lining it up against?

[@mongoose1788]

I know that this is a old video. But what did you do with the tires in the corner clipping through the foundation? What I did was try and build around them instead.

[@kikibplays]

Funny thing, I actually still have this camp 😄 I was able to put floors 'over' them so they clip through the floor, and then I piled junk around them, which looks pretty good since I use that level as a sort of garage.

[@Certifiably_Unhinged]

Nice build, saw a base before logging out then KZbin popped up with this tutorial. One question though, how do you set up the blueprint for the half beams on the rugs? I'm struggling here

[@kikibplays]

Thanks! I did a video on that a little while back, this should help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnS4h2xslN6dh5I I use a deathclaw egg or small statue for it these days, but the function is the same.

@@kikibplays actually just found that a few minutes after posting this. Appreciate it and keep the content going.

[@supermonkey6655]

I've spent the last few hours trying to build this camp and I'm stumped. I get to the stair portion and get to the point of the half floor, but then I can not place a stair from the half floor to the top of the dam and I can't figure it out.... any suggestions?

[@kikibplays]

I know half floors are really buggy at the moment and folks have been having trouble recreating this build recently. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to dig into possible solutions.

[@supermonkey6655]

@@kikibplays I appreciate the reply. I was thinking something recently had made this impossible to build right now.

[@Jr11Number1]

I built this but not quite like hers but i now have to redo like 6 to 7 hours of build because I accidentally scraped a wall that was meant to be a wire. And now I’m unable to place the garage door even tho i got the wall placed back where i needed to be. And had to rip half of my camp apart to do so.

[@adamoostlander3507]

Love the build. So cozy :) Any idea how you you get the fences to attach on the garage door level? Mine won't attach. Also, where did you get that Iron fence plan from?

[@kikibplays]

Thanks! I think I turned snapping off to place the brick fences on the bottom level (at least for some pieces). The iron fence is Atomic Shop.

[@Dukemoney63]

I've been trying for an hour to try and get the foundation at the top of the stairs to snap to the third set of stairs but can't for the life of me. Has anything changed in game where this may not work anymore?

[@kikibplays]

Nothing that I know of, but I'll try and play around with it when I have some time and see if I can figure it out.

[@kingofshadows5673]

7:45 I can’t get the floors to delete even with the flamethrower magic ☹️

[@kikibplays]

Make sure your other walls are all doorways, or it will be *those* preventing you removing the floors. If that doesn't do it, try putting in your roof first - oftentimes it will see the piece as supported by the roof (because it's all attached to other, supported walls) and then let you remove some floors.

[@kingofshadows5673]

Ahh ok, I wasn’t using doorways, thank you

[@amc2004uk]

How did you get rid of the tire pile on the bottom floor?

[@kikibplays]

I didn't. I raised the foundation up a bit so some of it was covered, and piled stuff in around it when I was decorating.
