Fallout 4 Guide - Artillery Piece Builds

[@brucemclee]

My criticism of sinking the artillery is that it hides the track that it would use to rotate on to acquire the targeted coordinates. That kinda breaks the immersion imo.

[@MG-_-1471]

I know I like the idea you turn it on a track

[@raynes6286]

Just raise is s tad, do they actually move though? I've never really noticed as I'll only use artillery whole away from a settlement.

[@brucemclee]

I tested this out and the artillery does in fact rotate on the track in the base.

[@Jayjon81]

Yeah the Artillery rotates when in use

[@petejones7673]

I just got a "Goul Problem at The Slog" quest. How ironic

[@disciple1381]

@Benosoar I have a bow lol love that mod gonna go threw with out using a single bullet.

[@rimfire806]

At this point I'm pretty sure if Davey made a drug he would name it "Concrete Pillar"

[@elephantwarrior53]

He is goint to marry that pillar, and have several children. I don't know how, but he will.

[@cerberv5040]

They would probably adopt some rugs

Your channel grew so fast. I remember subbing when you made your first video of you showing your sanctuary 😳

[@MG-_-1471]

same lol

[@denster77]

I subbed after I saw his videos on how to make more realistic homes, I believe it was a tiny mayor's house.

[@andsolid]

That mayor's house was dope. I've got maybe two structures in all my settlements that look and feel as natural as that build, and that was before Davey figured out all the tips and tricks (plus his bae pillar glitch).

[@denster77]

I know, after I saw that I started to try to make things look a bit more realistic. Before I had never really thought about it. I knew I loved to build things, but I knew I was missing something. lol

[@alexcameron_]

Your creations are genius, it doesn't matter if you don't see the dial, it looks awesome. Your vids have inspired me to be more creative with my settlements, thanks norespawns.

[@noahollington9946]

Keep coming back to watch your videos for ideas, these are amazing!

[@bennettrobson1738]

I wish they would add something where u could save a design that u make then place it down any where at the cost of the resources that u used to make it first

[@herbertlives9001]

like coly/paste?

[@etunimi4206]

Bennett Robson That would be really buggy and glitch. I imagine.

[@mavoc3094]

The nexus mod "Workshop Plus" has that feature.

[@codyhenry1530]

Just found this channel today, already using ideas from his diamond city video. Great work!

[@raynes6286]

I tried to take influence from his diamond city house, then I realised I was basically copying it because nothing I could do would be as good :D

[@ToBy4579]

Hey Davey, these builds are... The bomb...

[@herbertlives9001]

badum tsssss....

[@travus111]

don't make that joke or we will have a "falling out"

[@epicman-er6do]

pretty RADical , huh ?

[@thomasmiles925]

+stopitstravtime that's such a stupid thing to Fallout 4

[@skuldug1]

so excited for buildable lifts in the next DLC, gonna turn the highways above graygarden and finch farm into bars with a view, or maybe for high up artillery posts

[@nawseated4463]

Can you build up that high? if so that's a brilliant fucking idea!

[@kikisian]

+NawsEAted Yes you can. Except I have a knack for falling off as I am building the staircase up to the bridge.

[@nawseated4463]

kikisian RIP

[@skuldug1]

+NawsEAted yeah building tall unsupported staircases *slightly* breaks the realism tho

[@dylaneyer4531]

I knew about finch but not gray garden, i'll have to check that out, also i repaired the holes in the highway with the pillar glitch.

[@denster77]

I'm really enjoying these smaller builds with unique ideas, keep it up :)

[@_Yorky_exe]

+Norespawn the contraptions dlc brought with it some fire work mortars that can clear the weather, you do this by going to the chemistry station and go to fire works and towards the very bottom there are weather altering fireworks that could help out with your builds in far harbour

[@usmclugo85]

I imagine him talking to himself in the same manner in his everyday life

[@norespawns]

+Christopher Lugo you have no idea how accurate that is.

[@kikisian]

Talking to yourself is fine. Arguing ... not so much.

[@Hercsmhules]

+kikisian nah, I argue with myself too lol XD idk why I do it

[@PalmerDudeGamingChannel]

maybe you are golems long lost relative

[@WizardJace]

I love the first one. And seeing The inside of it gave me an idea for decorating it. Put a doorway on the side, or even just a gap, and it could be like a crappy storage shed. You made the point that it looked like it would break if you fired the gun but make it look a bit sturdier and I think it would look nice.

[@damienconlon6974]

i made some nice looking world war 2 guard bunker, the ones with the small opening on them. just a thought.

[@MG-_-1471]

nice!

[@PrestonGarveyMinutemen]

cannot wait to see your contraption workshop builds

[@josephhein9497]

Love your videos, man, but you started off counter to the realism you always try to portray. The concrete base has a track on it for the artillery to be swung around. By burying it and placing things right next to it, it looks like it's a non functioning piece. The track is essential and will look weird as hell when a guard starts cranking on the wheel and base moves independently on its own, as well as clips through everything you place next to it.. :O Otherwise, great vid, as always :)

[@andrewm9120]

if you sink it into the ground, are there any glitches when you assign a settler to it?

[@aquaticpimp]

Nice man you always do such good build with awesome techniques

[@shaneperson332]

when are you going to upload another video I've been waiting for another settlement build

[@busybird7149]

Now i wanna sink some artillery INTO BATHTUBS

[@etunimi4206]

"Remember soldiers, not to drop the soap !"

[@colenelvogel7001]

I can never get the concrete pillar to do that glitch ;-;

[@SemperPearce]

I love these ideas...my only bit of advice (because I'm possibly insane) is to leave the artillery piece elevated enough so that the tracks are exposed.

[@olibrtsz]

Damn Davey, back at again with the concrete wall!

[@chaseg59]

I've been hyped for this video!

[@lhoven3422]

Here's a tip for pillar glitch if u dtack pillers on top of each other u can glitch stuff high up and get the height

[@jasonkunz4964]

A crusty chain link fence gate section at the back entrance of the 2nd concrete bunker would be a slick addition like its a military secure area

[@krisreese6754]

Thx man this is perfect because I need some ideas for mine in sanctuary.

[@EnjoyingGoodMusic]

Have you done the Home Plate in Diamond city? that could be a fun little video! Also, I can't wait to see what you're gonna be able to do with the contraptions and Vault DLC!

[@morningcalls4]

hey Davey, have you thought about using the pillar glitch to make underwater houses/ bunkers? you have to build and decorate everything on land then move it with the pillar under water. i would love to see what you do with this idea.

[@ba-gibrickunboxingreviews3941]

I made a artillery dug out with a bunch of guard posts surrounding the gun, 2 raider tents (idk the name) for camouflage, a table with a few radios and a small open shack off to the side with seats and tables filled with radios and crap like what you see in ww2 films. I also placed an deactivated recruitment beacon tower for aesthetic appeal

[@mr.coffee6242]

the last one... I see it being part of a trench thing complex : ) nice stuff, I didn't know you could grab a bunch of stuff at once, you just hold the pick-up key I suppose? im playing on PC so that's probably why I never noticed that.Cool stuff ! keep it up :)

[@shanaplaysgames316]

Davey, what are your plans after Longfellow's? Liked the second artillery post the most.

[@whiskysierra]

Its Davey abusing his post again :P The second one could have red tactical lighting and use the netted crates for decoration as a hint to camouflaged shell storage. The railings out front would be bad for low azimuth firing though.

[@ParadoxicWasHere]

Question, do you plan to make a massive Vault in July and are you going to be heavily tinkering with Contraptions?

[@AlphaPodMrsmith]

I tried to use the method, you use, where you place the artillery into the ground using the concrete pillars, but it always highlights up red and won't let me clip it into stuff, any suggestions?

[@notjaysday]

Is there a way to sink things into the ground with vanilla game? I am on Xbox One, only recently started playing, and see no concrete pillar in my selections. Further, no concrete foundations or walls either.

[@Perspektive77]

iam a subscriber for about two weeks now, and must say: You are a fucking legend to me. I mean, what the fuck, you are extremely creative with your builds and i really like thate you keep your structure belivable and realistic like they should in a wasteland. You helped me alot to build my little hide out village pretty

[@Sankanyu]

Is there a way to sink the artillery piece through metal floors to eliminate the marble beast below it?

[@rivanlords1]

Liked them both, the second one was like a light bulb though...I'll be building all night THX

[@ScottLoganSecurity]

How is he grabbing the whole thing like that after the concrete column is down?

[@drdan141]

How do you lower the concrete pillar without moving your view?

[@orfeo_ofd]

Which DLC I have to buy to get that pillar? And which DLC are better for building?

[@purnen]

You should use the second one if you ever do an airport settlement

[@orionsloan2532]

are u going 2 use the contraptions slash vault workshop dlc

[@mitchellgowan9328]

in the next vid will you use contraptions stuff?

[@jarrattl02]

Yes!! Now I can destroy the brotherhood of steel in style!!!

[@sackboyhero7747]

I see that you play on PS4, but how did you get unlimited building limit because I noticed that your "SIZE" limit bar hasnt moved in your other settlement videos?

[@TrollingWolfGaming]

You drop items from your inventory and pick them back up in build mode. Adds to budget. ;)

[@legocitymodularbuilds1803]

Liked the second one more, clean lines.

[@lowrona]

I personally do a shit load with junk fences but have never thought of doing this. Until now I've hated the look of the artillery piece. Also, you should keep building without mods..... I think it adds a level of achievement to your settlement building when you have to work for it. I'm on Xbox and have started messing with mods but not with building. I only build with my unmodded character....

[@nawseated4463]

I want him to get OC Decorator so he can decorate the areas more, but yeah. Davey said he won't be using place anywhere so his build should look relatively the same, just more decorated with junk and such.

[@lowrona]

+NawsEAted Agreed that'll be cool but many of his settlements are decorated and decorated well without it, and while OC decorator will make it easier and ultimately fill out his settlements more, I just think that making a really nice looking, well decorated settlement without mods is just more impressive. I was only making a suggestion based on my personal opinion....

[@nawseated4463]

Lowrona No I repsect your opinion and partially agree. Davey has shown that he can work around the flawed build mechanics and touchy hit boxes and still make astheticly pleasing looking areas. With OC Decorator, I see it as its eliminating the uneeded restrictions when it comes to decorating a set piece.

[@norespawns]

Though I appreciate the sentiment - as a KZbinr on PS4, if I don't start using mods when they drop; nobody will watch my videos. I most definitely will be using mods when they are available.

[@nawseated4463]

norespawns Fuck whoever stops watching over that nonsense, I'll watch your videos regardless of mods. Keep up the great work.

[@calebm5162]

Afternoon, my pal

[@Torirattle]

Another sweet vid!

[@bearskyllz276]

Davey you will love new contraptions dlc , you can get fireworks which change the weather. you can make it clear!

[@Areanyusernamesleft]

As soon as I saw them I thought this as well. :)

[@prestondickson1920]

artillery is very useful if you know when to use it

[@michaels728]

First thing you need to do is experiment with the game and think outside the box or think as if you are in the military. How would the military actually do things. My friend and I made different kinds of platforms from wood to the concrete platforms with our artillery ontop of the platforms looking something like right out of WWI. We found that the concrete or just placing them directly on the ground works best as long as we dont bury the round rotating axis the artillery needs to rotate on the platform. We found out that if you bury it like this guy did in his video the cannons dont rotate as easily as if they would on their actual concrete platform direct from old WWI photos. Then once you finally have several artillery pieces in your settlements. You need to experiment with how far will they shoot. I found some where online today an article that says if you go to your map and zoom in to where you see the grid on the map. The site article claims that the artillery will only shoot up to 5 and half squares from the settlement. Yet thinking as a former military man myself. We first went to a couple of locations away from the settlement he placed his 6 artillery pieces at Sunshine Tiding Coop. And then he placed a couple of the wood look-out positions close to his artillery cannons and after assigning someone to that look-out position without binoculars or rifles without sniper scopes. Then we went to several locations. First we went to the Hagen Satellite Array, just below the Sunshine Coop settlement, popped artillery smoke and then ran like hell as far away as possible to see the results and the artillery bombardment level the whole area. Then secondly we went to another town to the right of the Sunshine Coop, but unfortunately the town was just to the right of the Jalbert Bros. Disposal and the town was down low in the valley. After he popped the smoke nothing happened, all we got was saying "artillery is reloading". Thinking like the military man I am I said to my friend maybe we are to far down in the valley that the spotters aren't able to see the 20 foot of signal smoke. I bet you need to be up higher where the smoke can be seen. So we went back up the hill to the Jalbert Bros. Disposal and popped the smoke and oh boy the Jalbert Disposal was leveled by bombardment. Then we went back down in to the same town we couldn't bombard before because the smoke was to low to be seen. So as an experiment we tossed the smoke on the roof of a building and the artillery bombardment began. Conclusion the smoke needs to be up high so the smoke can be seen by the spotters at your settlements to fire the artillery. Also sometimes it does and some times it doesn't work at night. For if its to dark the smoke cannot be seen by the spotters at the settlement. The next thing we are going to do is equip the spotters at the Sunshine Coop with binoculars or scoped rifles and see how much further we can go with artillery fire. Keep in mind this next step we did was just playing around experimenting with stuff. At this point my friend is a level 150 player and has already unlocked everything in the game including the submarine. So we wanted to find out how far the homing beacon for the submarines missile strike will reach. While still in the same town near the Jalbert Bros Disposal, he tossed out the homing becon and after a while the missile strike finally hit. But because we were so far from the sub it did take longer to strike the target. Also play around, experiment with the game, think outside the box. You don't always have to just go thru the missions all the time or it will get boring. Over the course of 5 or 6 times replaying the game. My friend has just spent a single weekend experimenting with things from building things as a hotel&casino, a movie theater, a general store, a nude strip club, his own vault area, a electrical power station, etc. He even posted pictures of his hotel&casino, theater and the general store to the PlayStation Live. And now he is experimenting with different structure options to build his own military base around one of his settlements. Experiment and just have fun with the game and create anything you can think of. Also keep in mind be careful of some of the mods you download for the game. Once he downloaded a certain mod that happen to be a defective mod that restricted some thing in the game not to work correctly. So he had to go back and remove the current mod he downloaded that corrupted the game. So be aware of some of those mods dont always work correctly.

[@raynes6286]

+norespawns I thought it had, turns out the 'scrap fallout' mod just messes a few things up. Heart attack over :D By the way 'scrap fallout' seems to be the only mod on Bethesda.net for scrapping everything liked bushes, dirt, large structures but it seems to make things sink into them and so you can't snap or really build on them. Eg, the floor in the Diamond City home that's just concrete without the wooden covering is pretty unusable as everything sinks about a foot into it. Just a tip incase no others have come out before you start using PS4 mods as in some areas it's fine and you won't realise it's messed up until you go to other settlements. Uninstalling brings back scrapped things so messed up anything you build that involves scrapping things that you can't normally scrap.

[@thelasttaarakian]

+sam raynes I haven't had any issues with scrap fallout mod on XB1. Been using the rug glitch and group select this whole time.

[@raynes6286]

+Wasteland Settler Hmm, could be my combination of mods but all issues seem solved when I disable it. It's mainly issues with the pre-built strictures that now are seen as 'scrapable' like the house as Somerville place, the tower at Oberland Station and such. They don't seem to register as solid and so furniture sinks right through them, rug glitch does prevent this though but I have to rug glitch every item. May be just my game though.
