Easily Place Prefabs In Foundations - Fallout 76

Video of me showing how to easily place a prefab into a foundation.

[@exoticspeedefy7916]

Bethesda should just make it possible to build on foundations anyway

[@Ak3R0]

It just works...

[@Flip86x]

Bethesda has actually been making progress with their camp items and prefabs. A lot of the new items have their own foundations now. To avoid floating items.

[@davidweaver6346]

That's funny! I was just telling a friend that if she was having problems with prefabs, she she could make a foundation for it. Great timing on the video! Keep up the great work there bro!😊

[@MrWestTek]

Haha awesome :)

[@crazy-tommy]

Can you get this to work the other way around? I want to have foundations in a prefab for an indoor garden.

[@dpellek74]

Wow. Never thought about doing it like this thank u so much. Looks fantastic

[@MrWestTek]

Very glad I could help :)

[@jessehansen10]

That’s a badass camp.

[@Pixe1Ga1axy]

haha! i was on the stream where this question was asked, happy to see you kept your word!

[@MrWestTek]

You can always count on that ;). Thanks for commenting

[@PrimeTimeChris420]

May have been me asking lol

[@januszk2336]

on Xbox - place foundation normally so they snap together, select one foundation with A, then hold A, use RB/LB to lift/lower down foundation without moving it a bit. This way it always perfect, and you don't need to align foundations. Getting foundation with perfect 1/2 wall height - build wall with height of 1.5 wall (1/2+1 - half wall should be at the bottom) on foundation you want to lift and other next to it - so they can be connected with roof, do it. Remove 1/2 wall from foundation you want to lift, select this foundation and snap it to the 'hanging' wall.

Not to toot my own, but I was the 1000th like 🎉 Keep doin what you do! We love your content!😊

[@MrWestTek]

Yay! Thank you!

[@PrimeTimeChris420]

Prime from the stream the other day. This helps a ton for some other places I wanted to work with this prefab. So far my Sutton tractor is doing nicely though

[@MrWestTek]

Great to hear!

[@sbaltys]

thanks, i was wondering about this and couldn't find a video of anyone explaining.

[@MrWestTek]

No problem! I didn't realize how hard it can be after I tried it again. Really hope this helps!

[@mblair5327]

One trick that works for me with some prefabs is placing foundations so a bit if ground is coming out in the middle.

[@klumze9911]

I put mine on a really big incline but I stacked foundations to make the entire area level . I make the stairs to the prefab transition into the concrete stairs I snapped into the foundations to make a nice clean look.

[@RobCo_Gamez]

Great Video, very informative. Keep up the great work.

[@MrWestTek]

Did you see the very end lol?

[@RobCo_Gamez]

I did. Awesome. Your the real legend....@@MrWestTek

[@tiffajessi6647]

1:52 that's what she said 😳

[@alinakechter4372]

I got it to work on PC, but while it cannot be too hilly, it also cannot be too flat. It needs a little bit of an angle or rough ground to work

[@petergreenwald9639]

I found a place I want to build the new prefab on but there are trees there. Would a foundation "knock out" the trees so they don't end up poking through my house?

[@NightmareDusk]

I wonder if this will work with where I got my camp setup, I built at the top of the mountain but couldn't get the prefab to play with the foundation so I kinda half-assed placed it under it.

[@ComandermomAka-Debora]

Thank you very much

[@Eridos12]

Is there a working floating door glitch currently? My little bunker needs a door

[@bruceemerson7598]

Awesome thank you 🫡

[@firepm69]

Nice job. Thanks

[@Darthcamper]

Someone wanna talk with me about how the top floors can't be built in if the C.A.M.P. is placed on ground level. And if you put the C.A.M.P. in a tree you have to worry about shitty branches from trees clipping into your building? I waited 48+ hours after they charged me for Fallout 1st to get my Atoms, to finally buy the prefab, attempt to build and immediately contact them for a refund. Surprisingly within 20 minutes they did in fact give me a full refund on the prefab with no other questions, concerns, replies needed or anything. I really want this piece. I have such grand plans for it. Sadly I can't do that.

[@knurlgirl]

I requested a refund as well. It's a chore finding a flat-ish enough location, with no trees. All the prime real estate at the Whitesprings is always taken, and I prefer a scenic woodsy camp anyway. Which as you mentioned, made the tree issue come up. Plus, my side porch stairs never sunk into the ground so they weren't easy to run up. 😢 Great looking prefab, at an awesome atom cost, but it just didn't work out.

[@OdiVonDobi22]

Todd Howard drinks our tears and cuffs the carrot to our pain. He could have let clipping NOT be a thing, but NO he clearly hates all of our dreams🤣

[@Defects420]

What they really need to do is get rid of the whole restrictions on placing items and prefabs close to each other or whatever because then people can simply just build whatever their mind can think of. Mean they would easily have a player base of basicly only base builders. Also they should really just put up all it atomic shop items in the store ever released so people can buy what they want and not have to wait for these so called sales and other crap to come around and God forbid if your not online that week and miss a sale cuz you won't see it for another 6 months or some crap. Just keep them all posted to the store so people don't have to live on the game 24/7 for these fake sales or least make it a very slim possibility to earn said plans or prefabs from just playing the game also.

[@Migg89]

THANK YOU

[@MrWestTek]

You're Welcome :)

[@CyberdyneModel101]

"Easily" yeah....

[@Kerran32]

Did anyone bother to ask Foundation what they thought? :D

[@paulharris7660]

So youre sold highly designed prefabs, which dont actually fit within the waste land-typical Bethesda

[@MrWestTek]

I love the prefabs

[@aroudedinsulance4307]

if Tim Cain (the creator of Fallout) can like Bethesda's stuff, then why can't you?

[@gamerv95]

Thanks. Going to try it>

[@MrWestTek]

Good luck!

[@Hakuru15]

Man i should of done this in the new valley map haha

[@NoahGreen-ok9dm]

Your builds look really nice

[@MrWestTek]

Thanks buddy :), enjoying Fallout 1st?

[@NoahGreen-ok9dm]

Absolutely ​@@MrWestTek

[@jeffkaos8785]

Does this work with the new Pioneer Scout Tent and Vintage Caravan from the current season? I have both plus the older Backwoods Bungalow and I always get a message that I can't place them because they're intersecting an existing structure.

[@joycephina]

Could you do a tutorial on how to place foundations around the Super Duper Mart to create a seamless, immersive camp like the ending of this video?

[@Crimson_Mysterium]

Will this work with the Red Rocket gas station or the Quonset Hut?

[@indianacones8085]

Love your vids man, keep up the good work

[@MrWestTek]

Most definitely will 😁👍

[@TheMarrowMan]

Ok, now this is dope, thank you!

[@MrWestTek]

Hope it helps

[@pepsilove6306]

this works best with prefabs that dont have their own foundations, for example this trick dont play well with the watch tower, or the firehouse prefab. cause they have those derpy arounded corner cement bases. works great with both the trailer and destroyed trailer prefabs tho.

[@hardcorehypocrite1498]

Great video. I never realized you could do that with the prefab. For my question... who's the person at the end with the legend arrow pointed at them?

[@Drueggy]

The BoS Watchtower works really well without additional foundation. Small scale with 3 floors, easy to replace after location change, but still room to fit everything necessary inside.

[@derriuswashington1600]

Thank you Mr. WEST Tek!

[@MrWestTek]

Very glad to help buddy 👌

[@jenniferhnatiw6667]

Thank you I found this video very helpful I've been having issues building with prefabs! I always enjoy your videos

This is amazing!!! Thank you, I love your videos!!!! Huge fan!!!

[@MrWestTek]

No problem and thanks for the nice comment :)

[@bobwilliams6752]

Thanks for the advice. How often do you build a new camp?

[@MrWestTek]

Random really....

[@martinbarnes6066]

i did this to mine with the new prefab.. mega pain in the ass but i got it eventually just have to be patient

[@MrWestTek]

Patience is key.

[@itzantswo]

What do you play on ? and is there I can add you fan of your content

[@MrWestTek]

I'm on PS5 and I'd have to get to know you first, so maybe come say hi on a stream :)

Spend 3 Day in this game cant even buy a cigaret. Goodbye Fall out

Tried and tried and tried, just can’t get it to work. :(

[@MrWestTek]

Patience is key, it works.

[@FUBAR66693]

Not really sure what the point of this video is

[@bloodsuckinflea]

Most of the time you can just line up the height of the foundation to the prefab then use a flame trap to destroy the prefab, build your foundations into the silhouette and repair the prefab. Seems a lot easier to me.
