Perfect. Something to reference when I come back for two months out of the year.

All of those key/button combinations look like the perfect opportunity to use macros [PC]. Just bind each glitch type/button combo to whatever macro key/mouse button you want.

Wow....Someone built the Enterprise NCC-1701 !!!!!!! Have a sub bub.. NGL, I love glitching stuff in games.. Been glitching Fallout 4 since day one, and NMS has a similar feel with the reloads, glitches, etc. A free game, within the game.

Great guide, Beebs. I think I'll use some of this for a moon base I'm going to work on

[@Beeblebum]

Good luck! 😊 All glitches still work - although timing does change every update. For the Cache Pin Glitch, you do need to make sure you have empty slots in your Inventory now - this seems to be something new.

[@AL3XM0RAL3S]

For the reverse wire it's easier to use X+A on switch, literally press them together Its super fast when you have to glitch a bunch of part; just build a solar array and aligned a bunch batteries

[@luis566lc]

i just got the game iv been having a good time i just wish the game had a bigger community.

[@randywatson8347]

Imho the glitch placement is what free placement should be, except for plants. It's better to press the toggle wire mode key first before the placement key/click. If you press/click placement key slightly too early, you get stuck with a wire you need to remove.

[@DreadCaptainJames]

Thanks man, this is a fantastic guide!

[@Beeblebum]

Hey Mate! Thanks for the Superthanks! Glad you found it useful!

[@FaLLenAngelZ69]

Another top notch tutorial. I started glitch building early last year and your tutorials made learning a breeze🫡

[@rimantascalyj276]

Thanks for this guide! Do you ha e a guide how to swap color of the parts. E.g. If I want to use a color from metal walls with stone walls?

[@rtm99oc]

I have enjoyed your videos and found your instructions easy to follow. Advice needed! Construction Limit when building out a S Class Freighter, how to avoid if you can help. Thanks.

[@Beeblebum]

I have not tested the max limit on a Freighter, building wise. According to the files, The freighter does not have the 3000 upload limit, as a freighter base does not need uploading to the NMS server - but the parts do count towards the 16K build-limit per save.

[@rtm99oc]

Thanks. I'll keep my freighter under control. @@Beeblebum

[@rtm99oc]

As a side note, I have since Planted 5,200 plants, 75 Stellar Extractors, plus other stuff on my freighter, over 8 Floors. Seems like a lot of stuff. Thanks again.

Simple and easy to follow tutorial on beginning glitch building techniques. This is the foundation of it all! Thank you for your kindness and patience within the NMS community.

[@tikrist5256]

Thank you, Beeblebum. Your explanations are truly fantastic, but seriously, it's truly a shame to have to resort to such convoluted solutions just to align two elements. I'm not sure if anyone has already discussed this since I don't really follow the news about the game, but I hope everyone agrees that the build system is a disaster. I've abandoned so many constructions because of it, it's incredibly frustrating.

[@StupidSystemus]

The thing I miss is being able to clip the primitive pyramid objects together. Now they don't even interact together.

[@nicodemisfinch6543]

I wish I could give this 10 thumbs up.

[@Bladecutter]

Great video. As a new player I have watched many of your videos. Please help me. I would like to build something with intersecting circles like the base in the intro. Can you point me to a video where this was featured? What technique was used to accomplish this. Thanks a lot.

[@Beeblebum]

To build the intersecting circles in the start of this video, I used the technique I explained in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npaoiHR5jdijb7M I however do not have a video how to exactly to build this structure.

[@gta71000]

How quick do you have to be for the wire glitch? Im trying to do it now but wither im too fast or too slow? To hit it. I do as you said and give priority to ∆ (im on playstation) but it still ahows as red when it swaps. Also it still works as i was able to pull it off a few times just super inconsistently......

[@Beeblebum]

I think you might be too slow then... The delay between buttons is really short, almost as if you press them together. I know it can be frustrating, I had a lot of trouble with it the first times I tried and learned it.. Once you get the cadence, you will be unstoppable. 😊

[@gdxnsk]

Hey guys, is there a way to add a hole in the celling of the prebuilt cubic room like the one made by the stairs but without the stairs?

I cant find the video he mentioned about how to connect wires to scaled up items, does anyone know what its called?

[@jonathanellsworth21]

The glitch to make the wires bigger and smaller does not seem to work at all for me, all the others do… and how did you get right-angle triangle building parts??

[@adriandtownsend4989]

This is great, but I have no idea how to do this shit, still. Don't have the patience.

you can center parts???? this is everything to me. i love you [in a human way*] *as opposed to romantic, platonic, etc. (i am bad at expressing abstract feelings and a little bit sleep deprived right now)

[@ohiohouston3560]

The wire glitch is working for me to place multiple extractors and depots in the same spot but it’s still using my resources and stops working if I run out. Was the no resources part patched or am I doing something wrong?

[@elisabeth776]

hello and thanks for som mutch but i cant Resize Any Object Glitch Base Building to big or smal size what do insted after big wier is that change color nothing else what is going one 🤣 I try making new not glitch color floor and it worked

hi beeblebum, very nice video! I have a question about "color glitch", I don't really understand hox you do it, my english is very approximative and, i don't know how to do it, can U explain please How can I do this please ? thanks a lot in advnce !

[@Beeblebum]

The colour glitch, where you use the decal as a painter, does no longer work. You can still colour, but you have to already build with the colour before. Check out this older guide here to get the technique, I will be working on an updated version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roTbioZ6it1maLs

[@AlexSquirrel]

Is there any way to do a scaling glitch on the freighter that works for all items? For exmaple the terrairum doesnt work with the adjacency glitch because the pocket reality generator can neither be scaled :(

[@Beeblebum]

I do explain the Universal Adjacency Glitch, later in this guide, which allows you to scale ANYTHING. 😊

[@conliffeiain]

Would these glitches enable you to tilt a base item that is not tiltable? For example, if I wanted to make the Leaning Tower of Pisa out of a stack of round prefabs.

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, I actually made a guide about tilting bases.. I am unsure if it is still completely correct, but perhaps you get the idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmygKitppmJgac

[@slavicvarg]

can you scale glith already scalable objects? to make them even bigger?

[@Beeblebum]

Yes, but it is not shared in this video - recently I released a new video sharing another technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roDWiGuKhb51nq8si=ctrdCqyB6YXqYrHq

[@dommorris8163]

Is it possible to do the ultimate scaling glitch with wire snap points?

[@rickscanlon9867]

What's up with HG removing the auto-leveling of the wire when placed against a wall panel? That really sucks!

what if I want to use a massive halo door as the ceiling to my bases star ship hanger how would I go about it EDIT: I tried to use moon pool floor but I couldn't figure out how to get it to stand on its own

[@sethsuitor]

Freighter parts in your base. That's awesome. Maybe I can figure out how to reverse it. Input base parts in my Freighter🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@electrostormers7570]

I want to know how you built the thing at the start of the video

[@vormarsch]

(?) Are we allowed to use autokey apps in NMS? Like for example F1, F2, F3 etc. to map these multi-button presses, with a precise delay. Thanks for your tutorials, you're a great teacher/instructor.

[@Beeblebum]

There are ways to use a Macro for each of these glitches. I used to use my Razer Central to create the macros, but since Frontiers, I never really needed them anymore.

[@vormarsch]

Probably somewhat easier to pull off on the PS controller?

[@dmitritelvanni4068]

Your accent reminds me a lot of petardia... Who is known to me for base building tips in fallout 4.... You're not the same person are you? Lol. Ps. Does the adjacency glitch work to scale the garage door? I really want a colossus garage, its become really useful since i turbocharged the mining laser, and the planet im working on in basically made of base building materials, so a few minutes cruising aroun ends up yielding thousands of each kind of ferrite and more carbon and salt than ill ever need.

[@Beeblebum]

Lol, I am not. As there are no Scalable parts in the list where the Garage door is, the Adjacency glitch will not allow Scaling. You can however use either the Scaling techniques I shared in this guide. 😊

[@fnhatic6694]

The Q+C for the universal wire glitch does nothing. I even set up a macro that executes the presses in only 5ms. It'll flip to wire mode, or edit mode, but not 'both'.

[@nimaxander79]

Can you use ultimate scaling glitch and wire glitch to put like 30 silos in the same spot but smaller?

[@Beeblebum]

There is (currently) no way to scale glitch into a fixed position, as soon a build part snaps, it reverts to its original scale.

[@nimaxander79]

@@Beeblebum yeah ok thanks

[@dharhanwulf9035]

I think you missed a glitch, unless you called the Slide Glitch by a different name.

[@lux156]

I can't get the scaling glitch whatsoever on ps5? was this patched after interceptor?

[@Suge212]

Pretty ridiculous that we need to find these silly workarounds, when the game already allows elaborate things to be built. The devs should just rework the construction tools with options like part clipping etc.

[@StarCatShawn]

Because more creative things are achieved when people are restricted

[@mechanomics2649]

@@StarCatShawn The same things could be achieved without these restrictions lmao

[@dommorris8163]

Honestly I think if we were able to do this kind of stuff by default it would be too complicated of a system for most players. The intended system wasn't designed for players to build massive ultra complex works of art, it was designed for players to build simple, decent looking structures they can call home while they play the rest of the game. Besides, I actually think these obtuse glitch building techniques make building more fun and rewarding; it's like a mini puzzle game.

[@Suge212]

I beg to differ. The ability for the game to do what it does in terms building mechanics had to be programmed in there. One letter or number out of place and the program breaks. They programmed some cool some game mechanics but got lazy with programing user friendly control mechanisms on some of them. OR, they are unforeseen code interactions that can be exploited, in which case they got lazy and failed to remove them. @@dommorris8163

I cannot get the extractors to glitch within each other even with what you say in this video. I dont understand how you do it.

Even I forget sometimes.. lol 😂

[@Xaamosjourney]

Question: I have seen 10 times larger Bio Domes than 3x upscaled...there seems to be a method to infinite resize? Any Ideas?

[@Beeblebum]

Biodomes that are scaled larger than 3x - have been scaled up by using a modded wire. If you have a Friend who plays on PC, they can place a 10x Scaled wire for you on your base, which you then can use to scale more.

[@Xaamosjourney]

Im on pc... but my scaling ends with about 4x with the cableglitch

[@Beeblebum]

@@Xaamosjourney Sorry, I should have made clear this is done by using a Building Mod - I am unsure if this is a public Mod.

Does it still work? They aren’t working for me on Xbox :(

[@PiotrWarowny]

Does the cachepin still work? I keep getting a base computer instead of a freighter part :(

[@Beeblebum]

It still works.. I had some similar issues before when trying it out. If you are on Console, there was a bug with the controls, that broke this glitch, so this should now be fixed. But here are a few other things you should take in account now: 1) Be sure you have the materials to build your cache-pinned part 2) Make sure your inventory is not full.

[@Simon-yx2wp]

@@Beeblebum Do you know of a way to delete cache-pinned bulkhead doors outside of freighters? I tried to force a connection to delete the railing on a catwalk by placing a bulkhead door first... but it didn't work, and now the bulkhead door cannot be deleted. Any suggestions?

[@TAGSlays]

No offense to you and this is a great video but.... Hello games should just put all of this in the game. As a community, can't we petition them? Let them know we all want this kind of flexibility in the building? I am sure they would listen.

[@Beeblebum]

It will never happen - While HG has been adding newer build features to improve and versify Vanilla Building, there are 2 reasons why Glitch Building can not become a Official part of the game: 1) People don't know when to stop - If building like glitch building would be easy, players would overdo it and crash their games all the time. The steep learning curve and challenge puts a buffer to avoid this. 2) Many of the Glitch techniques are not possible to add as a normal feature - and even if they did, glitch builders would always push the Envelope - which creates a never ending loop of other players wishing for it to become vanilla.

Although it's a good video, what these youtube video makers don't tell you is that you need not bother trying this on PC. This works only on consoles because they are slow and crappy. On PC you only have a chance to get this done with an automated macro and even then it's hit or miss. The best macro I've been able to make so far has about a 20% success rate.

[@Beeblebum]

I am building on PC.. this was also recorded on PC. However, I am using a controller, because I simply find it easier to glitch build. There are however several PC glitch builders using M/K - and Yes.. I am impressed they manage.

[@MAXUZIYSLX]

Dude idk what im doing wrong but I set up my wire scaffolding exactly how you do at 13:30 but when you place the floor at 13:32 its perfectly 45 angled, but when I do the Q+left mouse wire glitch in the exact same scenario, it works, but my floor placement isnt at 45, matter of fact its like I can move it anywhere around the middle spot of the wire, making me have to line it up myself, which is not possible in my case as im trying to make a pyramid and need it to snap exactly 45 like it does for you, but for me it just fiddles around following my mouse and then I can place it however i want to? what am i doing wrong

[@MAXUZIYSLX]

if anyone can help and let me know whats the problem id highly appreciate it. I uploaded a short video on whats my issue maybe this will help better to explain what im having. /watch?v=UtpT_aLx5bU

[@Beeblebum]

Hey Uzi, I am not entirely sure what issues you have. From what I understand, you are able to glitch the floor on the angled connection, but the Floor is not angled in a 45 degree. But after that it is not clear what you are trying to explain. If your floor does not follow the 45degree, then perhaps you connected your horizontal wire in the wrong sequence? If it helps, I did make a guide explaining how the wire behaves and how you can control it in more detail here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJOnqXiPmcyNprc

@@Beeblebum Thank you so much Beeblebum, and thank you for the video aswell! Also noob tip for anyone who wants to do the wire glitch perfectly every time, what I did was make an AHK script that pressed Q and Left mouse button at the same time for me whenever I click F1, makes it so much easier to do your desired building!
