What I love about this series is it's effectively what the developers likely expected people to do with the settlement builder. Just either restoring and refurbishing pre-existing stuff into something new and lived in.

[@damnimbored25]

And then they just gave you a hammer and a couple of nails expecting you to fix an entire civilization. Even if this was the intended path for you to follow the game mechanics were awful.

[@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466]

​@@damnimbored25right. He has to use glitches to make things work half the time. The settlement building is atrocious but he makes it work.

[@uhhnotluke4319]

@@damnimbored25yeah, this was their first attempt at something like this in fallout though, hopefully they’ve learned and will have a much better building mechanic in fallout 5

[@Jeymez]

​@randomfactsthatdontmatter3466 i think those glitches are meant to be a game mechanic, in other words it's self discovery. now you might think different and that's fine, but i don't think you'd be able to use the rug glitch or pillar glitch if Bethesda didn't want that in. but like anything, some things aren't exactly laid out properly or explained well by the game. Also alot of times if you position the wood and other things you use to build with just right, alot of times you don't even need a rug. but what you can't do even with the rug glitch, is position a piece of wood or steel over a uneven surface, and unfortunately their are too many uneven surfaces. but some people like this guy, they spend hours on this game getting stuff like this to work. if i tried what he did, it wouldn't work for me and I've tried similar builds I've seen other people do, it's just for whatever reason it doesn't always work for other people. what works well for me is using metal. i can get most metal pieces to work just fine, but it's hard to get wood pieces right. plus in my case i can never quite seem to dedicate myself to settlement building, when it comes to settlements, i only do so much. i don't mind watching other people's builds, but in my case Fallout is a game you wanna constantly explore and discover new things and places. settlement is very time consuming, so i basically keep my settlement builds small. but still i will give you this, i do think Bethesda could've did a better job with the settlement build system. though to be fair, settlement building was something new they added to Fallout at the time. so they probably didn't know how it was going to turn out for them, but at the same time i can also see why they didn't go all out with it. because if all people were doing were settlement builds, their would be a large chunk of the game they haven't explored, it's because one thing has taken up their time. that's why you can't scrap things like grass and leaves and dirt in the prewar homes, or certain other things you can't scrap atleast without mods anyway.

holy crap! Never thought I'd see the day when anyone ever did anything with Oberland. It looks amazing!

[@wavezDDS]

I would 100% download a mod package of all your amazing builds and just leave it in the modlist for good.

[@magnithorsson8268]

Same! I was literally commenting about it just before he mentioned it 😂

[@mattbaker7305]

Glad to hear you are considering doing DLC builds too. Take your time. We are enjoying the journey. As always, excellent build!

[@asdjeki6751]

I genuinely look forward to seeing your videos each week. They’re so relaxing and pretty inspiring too. Your build style is creative but accessible and I really appreciate that

[@chloelennon7690]

lol “I couldn’t be arsed to change it” is so true, I’ve walked away on more than one occasion when things won’t snap because I genuinely didn’t want to go through the effort of changing it all over again! This is such a good build, I love how you decorate, it always looks so natural within the world of fallout. Great video as always, love what you’ve come up with Oberland Station!

[@sfstutorjals]

Ive been holding in my excitment for this build for the past week

[@gjml1597]

As a rookie settlement builder, I am learning that its really hard to create the Scrappy-Chaos aesthetic without things looking weird or awkward, but you have totally nailed it. Nice one 🤘🏽

[@MoNoToNeGaMeRz]

i gave up on that lmao... i either make it one big vault tec city or use the barn half walls with warehouse glass half walls to make settlements... it really does take a long time to do what he does.

[@Salmin792]

It is a wonderful piece of architecture with a naturalness that makes it seem as if it were originally in the game. The indoor entrance structure is particularly genius, utilizing bookcases and columns!

[@salmonshot3567]

Great stuff dude, I'm at Oberland Station now and I think I wanna try something with the box cars on top of the existing rail tracks. I love your enclosed L-shaped farm and I wanna use that as well!

[@GodOfPixies]

Amazing job. I love that you take all your builds in a unique direction. You have your signature "scrappy" look and your love of the Far Harbor decorations but still manage to make the overall builds stand apart.

[@corylister1243]

Very excited to see you take on this settlement. After the miracle you pulled off at Coastal Cottage, I have no doubt this will be another fantastic design.

[@doordonot16667]

I'm a total noob at Fallout (my husband got me into the game), and your videos inspire me to up my settlement builds! Thanks for making such great videos! :)

[@lancerlancer-x9b]

your builds are so natural and lived in! much creativity without mods

[@friendgaby7662]

Amazing build as always. Definitely gives me a whole new look on it

[@AM-ko4pi]

I went right to the boarder of this settlement and built a little minuteman themed apartment complex on one end with a heavily fortified courtyard that includes the farm. It's one of the only settlements I fully decorated and I'm pretty proud of it. I love your concept too. Our builds look completely different, but they both work well in this space. Cheers

[@NomdePlume337]

This is a great build! Anyone who builds settlements knows that Oberland is one of the hardest to build at because of how uneven the ground is, but you smashed it!

[@antibren]

the time and care you put into your builds is inspiring. your creativity is a gift!! ❤️

[@satrickptar6265]

“Don’t worry Shaun, I’ll find you once I finished making a town”

[@UncleAnaesthesia]

Oberland is one of the harder settlements to look immersive and you pull it off again quite well. In my very first playthrough in 2015, I made it a Railroad-faction outpost since it's literally beside a railroad. All the settlers had the faction armour, Railway Rifle, etc.

[@Dirtbag-Hyena]

I actually like the makeshift hallway entries you made better than actual doorways. For one,it's tight quarters and I feel doors would just get in the way. Also,it's unique. Very well done,brother. ✌🏼 Edit: Just a thought. I recommend that if you do turn these into mods you should make most if not all the clutter static so you don't knock stuff around like you did in the video. It'd be a great idea too especially for Playstation who doesn't have real mod support.

[@joxidearmageddonator882]

The algorithm got me here and this series is amazing I watched a load of these videos last night. You're way more patient and creative than me, your builds are excellent

[@JayShroomish]

I am living for these uploads at this point, it's like getting a new episode of my favorite show.

[@iGleeson]

This is brilliant. I always go overboard with Oberland Station and try to build a train car fort. It never really works for me. Then again, I only learned about the pillar glitch from you.

[@LiamBearr90]

Another cracking build mate. Love seeing what you do with these boring, hard to build settlements 😁. I swear, every time I need inspiration for a build, I check your videos lol. Great job once again!

[@montanablackhardcorefan6974]

I would like to say something about this: First of all, really nice detailed work in all the videos, how they make the dead places lively and homely. The feeling that you get, that people could really live there, is simply beautiful. Now I could of course complain and say, Why couldn't Fallout 4 be like this by default if it only loads areas where you are? Yes, the basic game lacks a lot of elements to build, including things like different colors or more variants of objects, so that it doesn't look so repetitive. More details such as simple objects (gun barrels, magazines or attachments, visors) are also missing. It feels like you should hire people like you just for small details and playfulness in the world that could make the scenery more believable and fill it with life. Personally, I was missing more object classes, objects like: large cola bottle, small cola bottle. Ammunition boxes also of different sizes (e.g. 50, 100, possibly 1000). also the cook e.g. There are red bowls in the game, so soups should also be able to be made in such variations in order to maintain the variations. Actually, IMO, all powered foods should have 3-4 different spawn variants. even if they are small. Especially with the variety of models of objects, Bethesda should, as I said, have 3 - 6 possible versions (e.g. broken toilet and these could then spawn randomly from time to time in places that are not specifically needed for a model. The same for medicine boxes or containers. Unfortunately, the clothing is also predetermined and cannot vary except for the armor. YES, there are variations with mods, I know, but something like that would also have been nice in the base game.

[@x_mac3_xwayne785]

When you get to your last settlement I definitely think you should build a shrine for your pillar. After all it has made your builds amazing ❤

[@Shawzzo]

Absolutely

[@stefandiebel8775]

This is so fucking good, I always struggled with this settlement bc I would try to fit in more and more things, but your restraint just makes it *chef's kiss*

Next is Abernathy Farm. BTW i love ur content just as much as i love fallout 4. its a great game!

[@RotnDot]

I just finished my Oberland build tonight as well! It's always great to see other people's creativity. It simply baffles me you got so much budget, mine seems to be full rather fast.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Are you aware of the trick of dropping weapons and storing them in the workbench to lower the sizebar?

[@RotnDot]

@@TheInsaneShecklador Oh, I'm aware of the glitch. Even used mods for that in the past, but stability just went out the window when settlements became too detailed. So in my current run, my objective is to get small, functional settlements that stay within the budget. It's a fun challenge for sure.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

@@RotnDot Stability is a big issue for sure.

These kinds of settlement builds can give the player a great base to live out of in survival mode. Any place to sleep is a great benefit in survival mode as it is the main way to save.

[@JavedsYT]

I haven’t got to building this settlement yet but I planned on doing something similar with walls and living area built into one, but your ability to decorate and creatively put things together to look ‘realistic’ and lived in is always brilliant to see.

[@JavedsYT]

The tomatoes on the floor make the farm area look so much better also, I never thought to do that.

[@tylertucker9460]

Thanks to your layout, I’m actually going to use it for a prison. Just make the ones not in guard towers on top wear long Johns or something. Putting in a searchlight or two facing the yard, and a turret also setup similar to how Covenant has their’s, just inward. Boom, you just built a prison that’s reliant on the trade route for supplies to help quell revolt.

Done this place justice 👍 I noticed the obligatory deathclaw meat in the bath 😅 I love all the dropped and placed junk and items, l do the same. I get the usual comments saying it's a waste of time because it will be all over the place after an attack, but isn't that more like in rl 🤷🏻‍♂️ If someone threw a grenade in my backyard I would expect to have to go out and tidy up, not see everything still in place 😉

[@Estraying]

Don’t know if you’ll see this but for taller parts where you can’t use just the pillar glitch. But what I do is use 2 pillars (or more depending on height) Do the pillar glitch, raise the wall for example and then place a second pillar etc. Pretty much, you’re doing the pillar glitch with the pillar that’s holding the wall. It’s hard to explain but hopefully it’ll help? Basically a much faster and easier way to place walls as high as you would like with just pillars :)

[@Aahzsome]

I love seeing how you've put your own spin on a lot of things. I really need to practice the pillar glitch, it's so useful And the tatos! yes!! If they're like actual tomatoes there's so much you could do with 'em. Soup 'em, can 'em, stick 'em in a stew. An you do such a good job with a lived-in looking clutter! *How* do you get so many items to support how detailed your builds are? it boggles my mind, and is awesome to see. Now I'm looking at the jars of tomatos I've gotten from my grandma's house and wondering how you could mimic that in game. We've got plenty of cans which I could see them doing in a pinch.. .maybe some of the tube flanges for the bit that squeezes the top? Idk, anyways thank you for the video! Its very inspiring.

I love building around existing structures and.... _things_ in the beginning, I just scrapped everything

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

3:35 If you use a barn or warehouse foundation instead of this wood foundation you won't need a campfire to sink into them. 14:03 I have a couple of vids discussing the door frame snapping problem. From what I, and others who helped, have discovered is that it matters how high off of the ground the floor and door frame are when you try to snap them. Here's the real kicker, it varies at each settlement and sometimes even within that same settlement. It's almost as if there is some invisible world elevation in each zone that you need to be at to get them to snap. A couple of examples are Starlight where the floor needs to be close to the ground to snap and Red Rocket where it needs to be around 3 stories high in the air to snap. It's quite bizarre.

[@richardcummings1167]

The one thing I'd really like to see is a no mod fix of the main building at Echo Lake Lumber on Far Harbor.

[@davidk.98]

It's actual easy, you can build the whole "fixed" structure outside and glitch it in with a concrete pillar. Barn or warehouse pieces fit remarkable well. Just glitch it in look what pieces are missing, glitch it out, put the missing pieces in and repeat till you are done. The roof is tricky without mods since you don't have any roofs with the right degree. So i used barn halfwalls and warehouse roofs to "overbuild" it. Looks a bit weird since you can see the destroyed roof on the inside but it is same hight.

[@TheInsaneShecklador]
