Fallout 4 - 5 Tips for Building a Better Vault 88 | Settlement Building Tips

[@tannius5116]

I was out of ammo against the deathclaw so i built turrents while he was chasing me XD

[@MischuffGaming]

Good thinking!

[@LoryskaEntertainment]

Lol that’s how I took care of all of the radscorpions.

[@HS-mo1ii]

Mysterious Stranger Clever.

[@perchristofferhinsvrk1157]

Mysterious Stranger me too

[@samhenshaw4962]

I wasn’t out of ammo but I built 5 heavy turrets to take care of it

[@daleadler1776]

for the water supply that comes with the vault make sure you keep it defended. I built concrete walls all around it so you can't see it at all. if it gets damaged when your settlement is attacked you cannot repair it ever

[@MischuffGaming]

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know that.

[@daleadler1776]

No worries lol yeah I had that problem and had to go back a few hours to fix it. I only play it on survival and it did my head in, I lost loads of legendary items and had to redo around 13 quests. They really did not think everything through with this dlc. I literally coated the thing in concrete and left loads of turrets there. Cool tips though, finally getting round to building my vault. Do you have videos on making the vault?

[@dlawson79]

Dale Adler thanks for that tip, will get onto that straight away

[@pyrokiller4682]

Mischuff Gaming just finished the experiments what should I do with them as I can't change the parameters

[@MischuffGaming]

+Pyro killer you can incorporate them into a settlement build if you want

[@thecheezybleezy7036]

For any 2020 players, I know a wire glitch build one pylon and wire it to the source of power, Line up your crosshair so it's aiming at both the pylon and the wire, attach the wire to them both, If you do it right it will let the wire go as far as you can build in the settlement and it will phase through any obstacles. All you have to do is connect the new wire to anything that can be connected to (If the wire is connected right, it won't act normal and there will be sparks on the floor)

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

Bet

[@wickheadthered]

Nice work decrypting how power works in the vault! It really helps!

[@MischuffGaming]

Glad this video helped you!

[@fishfearme6606]

I chose to not even open the other areas up. After other play thru's I learned that opening the areas up also opens other enemy spawn points. When attacked, if you do not clear all of the tunnels or areas you will fail to defend and assets/resources will be taken. You literally have to run the entire map to clear all of the areas. Also, settlers are not scripted or map meshed to walk all thru the tunnels to the other areas at all. This DLC was not well thought out at all. I built just enough water and power in the main area to take care of 22 settlers and I want no more than that. Happiness becomes too hard to manage when a lot of settlers are involved and Im not the babysitting type. One can build a very spacious vault in the main area and still have all of the food, water and power one would need as well as living quarters and recreation areas.

[@MischuffGaming]

+Victor Cunningham I have heard a lot of the same complaints about this area. The idea behind it was great but not carried out to the best it could have been. Too many enemy spawn points, settlers not being able to roam around and the difficulty to build in tunnels to connect two areas really limits this vault area. I agree your best bet is to just use the first main room. Plenty of space there to build a decent vault.

[@toxicentertainment7200]

Well it's supposed to have a challenge

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

NOW you tell me :( I just got done scrapping everything lol

[@obtuse186]

I know I'm 4 years late but I'm definitely only sticking with the main room.

[@ΟΑυγολεμονος]

@@obtuse186 What are the "other rooms" tho? The east and North sectors and such?

[@jadogs6292]

I wish there was a option to reset a settlement. Like storing everything you but down and restoring everything, even the dirt that was on the ground. Mostly because I went a little crazy with the scrap everything mod.

[@TheSandersonSisters-j6e]

Sammmme 😫

[@sebwiers1]

If you want access to workshop stored items in far-flung areas of Vault 88 for assembly line or other purposes, just build any sort of crafting station; those always have the option to transfer goods. This is handy when exploring Vault 88, because otherwise you need to go back to the main area to dump all the stuff you pick up. This way you can even stash, say, a legendary weapon, and pick it up from the main workstation or any other crafting station.

[@MischuffGaming]

Awesome tip! Very useful.

[@themonkeyhand]

Thanks for a quick tutorial on using the power systems.

[@lupac3193]

You can use any of the crafting stations (armor, weapon, cooking station etc) to access the settlement storage, like you would do using the workshop. If you want to access the materials needed for crafting, you don't even need to access the storage screen - the crafting stations have direct access to all the settlement storage. Why would you need to enter the workshop's storage screen?

[@mig1739]

Vault 88 build tips- watch wasteland dovahkin how to build a vault series this chick I swear has an engineering team to consult with before every video

[@MischuffGaming]

+James Kelsch I'll check her out. Thanks man!

[@NerdPulseGaming]

For the majority of the enemies, I set up numerous turrets which successfully eliminated all the enemies that they took on, within seconds. The only one I couldn't kill with the turrets was the Mirelurk Queen.

[@MischuffGaming]

Turrets are the way to go. Very efficient at taking down enemies

[@kevinhurh4105]

I built scavenging stations and gardens far back in the fault. Near the subways and in that shop. To allow settlers to move around a bit and kinda "patrol" the area

[@PCGamingGoodies]

One of the problems is that most of the lights in this game aren't very bright. For the spacious areas in this vault, that could be a problem. That's why I always use ceilings with built-in lights whenever I can. Some of them are pretty bright too, and can light up 2 stories if you are having high ceilings.

[@MischuffGaming]

+PCGamingGoodies totally agree with you. Lighting had been one of my biggest challenges in settlement building. Got to get kid of creative sometimes to achieve the look I'm going for

[@triggered2612]

i left that ugly light radius to my mods to enhance

[@Ogiichidawg]

Little tip is to build lights over each other it makes it brighter without having to have lots of lights all over

[@RagdollJessi]

I mostly use the single hanging light bulb for my lighting. A few in each room light everything up nicely and they are cheap to build. Sometimes you can glitch them closer to the ceiling too.

[@L4Disillusion]

​@RagdollJessi yeah and the single tiny florescent ceiling light. That thing costs almost nothing and works better than most of the florescent lights. 😂

[@FlordeVidaDetecciónMetálica]

Thanks, I had doubts about how the power worked, luckily I haven't started building connectors and generators all over the place yet. There are a thousand badges friend 🇺🇸😃👍

[@oofusdoofus9811]

Fun fact : vault 88 can only house 88 settlers

[@jaxinstuart959]

Really ?

[@lorellejustice3848]

No it’s 36

[@WatermelonSoda]

get scrap everything mod and just scrap the deathclaw as soon as it comes near you ezpz

[@tonytonedeaf8981]

WatermelonSoda literally what I did haha same with the mirelurk queen

[@rheannawhite3928]

Glad I'm not the only one who did this 🤣

[@tonytonedeaf8981]

Rheanna White absolutely not have you seen some of their health stats? Op haha

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

[@themonkeyhand]

LOL, that's a good idea. Never leaving workshop mode during a raid again.

[@ronniepowell3686]

Your guide is incredible compared to any other I have found. Thank you so much for this lol your video saved me a ton of time and it helped me even all these years later.

[@SalandFindles]

I'm glad you got that WOODER supplied to your settlement, bro.

[@dlawson79]

thanks for the video, that was great for the electricity tips

[@MischuffGaming]

+dlawson79 glad this video helped man!

[@Reece_Hart]

I kind of cheesed the high level enemies by having 8 turrets with me. Whenever I'd come across an enemy I knew I couldn't kill like the Mirelurk Queen I'd throw the turrets down and let them kill them for me. There's also an achievement for getting all the workshops unlocked for the 4 areas. I personally really like the run down shop the caves connect to

[@MischuffGaming]

+Reece Hart good idea with using the turrets. Lots of build area down in those caves !

[@haileyphillips5063]

I did the same after dying like 5 times

[@Lordoftheapes79]

You can build any crafting station to get manual access to your settlement storage.

[@Crazy-Chicken-Media]

The wounding shotgun, 25 points of bleed damage. For some reason nothing is immune to bleed. And just go nuts on everything. That's legendary because they just can't survive shotgun.

[@youweirdo154]

Build traps and turrets for the bastard enemies. Helps tremendously. Afterward store them and repeat.

[@MischuffGaming]

+Jeremy Shinabargar good suggestion for dealing with attackers

[@divisionbyzer0474]

Wow...I have been using ugly wires for power in Vault 88 🤣 didn't know you didn't have to use them

[@Mabra51]

When you're connecting two objects with power lines, aim at the center of the object itself, not the connecting part.

[@MischuffGaming]

Super helpful hint! Thanks!

[@TheBlueprintsOrlando]

Great video, bud. Very helpful and overall well done. Top shelf!

[@wiredwrong760]

Yeah but making your own water pumps could mostly generate more water for the space used I suspect. But it would take way more power to do so mostly in some cases, or all cases.

[@MischuffGaming]

+Wired Wrong good point. It all depends on the style of the build your going for. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@henryfaktor]

I found this really helpful!! Thanks for the help.

[@dominic.h.3363]

I never left build mode to fight mobs. I just placed five heavy machine gun turrets and when they were done I stored them for the next encounter. After I finished an entire section I looted them.

[@MischuffGaming]

I love this idea. Simple and effective. Great tip when trying to build up the vault!

[@dominic.h.3363]

Also great for conserving ammo, I always run out on survival at lower levels. Then when you're done clearing up the whole place you can have the turrets at the vault entrance to protect you from raiders, so they will continue to be useful later. I'm currently building my own Vault 88 for the first time. It's so much fun!

[@MischuffGaming]

+Domonkos Horváth I tried survival for a little while but never got into it. I’d love to go back and play it again! Good luck on your Vault 88 hope it comes out great!

[@daleadler1776]

the worst thing about this dlc is that you cannot link all the areas together with vault stuff because of the absolutely awful layout. obviously you can end your vault with a door and use other materials wood floors and stuff but the whole point of a vault is it's completely sealed. going down to the water area you should have a long corridor that connects the areas together but you can't which is stupid as if you want to get there you have to leave the vault. the caves from one area to another leave your vault dwellers vulnerable travelling from area to area as they have to leave a section of vault to get to another section. the main area and a tiny bit to the left is pretty much all you get. it's as if no one who made the dlc tested it before releasing it

[@MischuffGaming]

+Dale Docker that's the first thing I thought of too when I first started using this area. So much potential but no way to connect everything. Feels like a wasted opportunity like u said. Thanks for checking the video out though. We will just have to be a little extra creative here!

[@daleadler1776]

It had loads of potential. I remember clearing everything for the first time and thinking of all the cool things I was going to make with it, started building and then I found out you are very limited with what you can actually do. It's as if they want you to make loads of mini vaults rather than a vault. You can make vault 88 vault 88.1 vault 88.2 etc. Just thought.... Make three separate vaults, stick some arena corners down and have each mini vault fight each other lol what other fallout videos do you have? I'm currently trying to get through nuka world or would go have a look now but if you have more like that I'll check some out after

[@MischuffGaming]

+Dale Docker I have a bunch of settlement builds, some nuka world gameplay, and some general tips/tricks videos. Fallout is one of the two main games I cover on my channel. Destiny is the other game.

[@daleadler1776]

Ah sweet I'll go check them out after I'm done with this. Going around the vault tec bit in the galactic zone and it looks better than what I've been able to make lol. But yeah I'll join your channel when I'm done, always after settlement tips. I have two videos that may give you some tips. I dont make videos but I did two for another settlement builder, one is how to make the terminal in the power misc tab look like it's sitting on a desk so you actually have a computer on a computer table and another is how to make the three junk walls we have, have different textures so we dont have to use the same one over and over, I have red junk fences, metal ones, sheet metal ones etc

[@MischuffGaming]

+Dale Docker awesome man. I'll definitely check your videos out too. Will be helpful for sure.

[@voidwolf1421]

Place turrets for the enemies and store after and repeat as you go easy way to defeat Deathclaw

[@MischuffGaming]

+Void Wolf great tip man. Thanks!

[@voidwolf1421]

Glad I could help :)

[@claytonlee1108]

Yeah i actually did that too, i used a lvl 2 turret,

[@therebel1375]

Void Wolf I feel so dumb for not thinking of that! hook up a few missle turrets and let them clear the area with overkill!

[@blubgamer5552]

I just had a mod that added in fatman turrets soooooo you can guess what happened XD

[@DennisYangI]

I literally cheesed that legendary deathclaw with couple dozens of turrets. It was so hilarious, I didn't even care that about not getting the XP.

[@owenlad1399]

you want access to your junk. just build a weapon workbench or some tool bench in front of the vacuum hopper.

[@MischuffGaming]

+Owen Ladouceur never thought of that! Great tip thanks

[@birdbidness]

Tysm bro

[@TongueLess]

I just scraped the shit out of it, and then imported settlement blueprint. And now I have perfectly structured huge vault connected with all areas😃

[@MischuffGaming]

Awesome! Sounds like a nice setup.

[@thexwarrior9225]

Can u make a vid abt it

[@keybladegames_real]

My problem with vault 88 location is that its too small. Not big enough to build a full on vault. There are two mods that make it bigger but they seem to cause visual bugs and texture issues. The least downloaded one seems to cause the less issues but it doesn't expand the caves like the second one does

[@marcoantoniosenzanoarteaga1857]

my unique harpoon gun with x2 damage againts full health enemies and Better Crits lvl 2 perk is no match for that legendary deathclaw

[@heliosw8068]

I like experimenting on my Dwellers Like finding out how many bullets the can "contain" So I know the perfect amount of bullets the innocent civilians that live in diamond city instead of MY VAULT can "contain" on average

[@jaxinstuart959]

The manufacturing thing that sucks out resources... You can craft a safe, it has access to your workbench contents.

[@bryceschug486]

regarding machinery and production ... can't you build a weapon's crafting bench and extract materials from that ? not necessarily the workshop ?
