Watching you plant those crops gave me an idea-with place anywhere, you could approximate something like the Three Sisters planting technique using Gourds, Tatos, and Corn. It's how Native Americans used to farm Squash, Beans, and Maize. It's a space-effective way of farming that makes the plants hardier against weather and pests/blights. Something that could be useful with all the radstorms and mutated critters around. The cornstalk serves as a central pillar, the beans (or in this case tatos) serve as a sorta lattice that surround and support the corn stalk, and the squash (or gourds, here) cover the soil and area around them and keep pests out. I wonder how it would look in FO4. Might be a total nightmare for settler assignment/animation, but it might be really neat! Something to think about!

at 0:45 in i see you lock the object and raise it, what are the keys that you use to do that; i have trouble deciphering the key-binds in the settings menu and haven’t been able to find it. i would love to utilize this trick in my own settlement builds! Thank you so much for sharing your videos! it got me back into playing the game again!
@FiddleflapsVids5 ай бұрын
Great to hear you have been enjoying and finding the videos useful, thanks! The raising of objects is a feature of the Place Everywhere mod and unfortunately is not part of the base game.

If I may ask a question I have tried to install the place any where mode on vortex but it still doesn't want to work can any one maybe give me some inside what I may be doing wrong and also when I build how can I expand my build limits
@FiddleflapsVids6 ай бұрын
Not sure how you got Vortex to install Place Anywhere as that’s an Xbox mod… maybe try installing Place *Everywhere* as that’s the PC version 😜🤣 Being serious though make sure when you start the game that you are using ‘f4se_loader.exe’ and not the games normal ‘fallout4.exe’. If you are starting the game from within Vortex you can set F4SE to be the primary tool. Once in game verify that F4SE is running by opening the console and typing _getf4seversion_ , if this does not display the current F4SE version (should be 0.6.23) then it’s not running and Place Everywhere will NOT work. When installing Place Everywhere do NOT install the optional INI files as they are not needed. The mod is a F4SE plugin and will not show up in game or display any messages to say its installed. A simple way to test if the mod is running in game is to press one of the function keys, for example pressing F2 you should see ‘Surface snap off’ message appear in the top left hand corner. I use the weapon storage glitch using Gamma guns to reset the size bar when needed, no mods are needed. You can see it in action here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn3KYZZ8pbuIfpIsi=rSP2gDXW7bBO7Ti2

@FiddleflapsVids6 ай бұрын
@@Vandal_Savage lol, I don’t think it’s actually possible to Xbox mods on PC… was just having a little joke due to them mixing up the mod names 😉. Even with Place Everywhere installed for the most part you will not be able to select objects outside the settlement border. If you build an object inside the border first, you can then move and place it outside and then select it again as I do at various points during this part. You can also turn on ‘extra object selection’ mode by pressing INS, which will allow you to select and scrap some objects outside the borders. These are typically objects that are not static or part of a pre-combine, an example of this would be the two red cars just outside this settlement which can be moved or scrapped using this method.

@@FiddleflapsVids thanks for the reply! Yes, I just tested it out and I can move stuff I've built outside the area but not pick up stuff already there. I've watched quite a few settlement building vids and yours were the ones that finally inspired me to install the place anywhere mod and start using it, so I'm still quite new to all it's features! I've also installed a few other mods that unlock previously hidden items in the build menu but use them very rarely and never for critical parts. Seeing how you use the basic stuff gives me plenty of ideas 😊
