Fallout 4 - Starlight Drive In Fighting Arena Build

In this video watch me transform Starlight Drive-In into a realistic massive Gladiator arena without any mods! This will include a tour and a battle at the end.
Enjoy!

[@GodIMold76]

I’m sad that I’ve been playing this game forever and didn’t know about the pillar glitch until watching your video

[@protozoanpro]

Sorta same. I played from release and for a couple years after that then stopped. I got back into it recently and studied building techniques and I realized how much better my settlements look now. What would take me forever before, that would look like trash, now looks good and takes 1/3 of the time lmao. Hey, that’s the beauty of games though. Come back after some time and ya learn something ya didn’t before and it’s like playing it again for the first time :)

[@stacky7773]

I didn't know you could press and hold "A" to grab whole structures even and I've played since release as well aha

[@user-fh4eh3nz2r]

Thunk it's a glitch. I think it's a part of the game mechanics. Mainly because they have yet to fix it

[@Halldog7]

You can do it with the small floor mats too

[@2guys1cliplol]

Same 😂. Had this game sense launch and learned this today

[@JoMcD21]

Guys.. quit using all your grenades to move skeletons. Just free-grab a tire and sweep them like you've got a broom. There's usually one nearby nearly every settlement. It's so much better.

[@Shawzzo]

Good tip!

[@chubbuck35]

Or just use a weapon

[@sunshine_tidings6983]

this is immersively well done. in the sense that, I want so badly to spend a night in pod 3, crack a few nuke darks with the boys, watch the fight, and forget about life for awhile. incredibly done.

[@swagolas996]

loved the new storytelling editing what with the going to sleep and killing the ghoul!!!!

[@chancewoodruff7095]

Hell yes, I want more epic battles, maybe at night and some extra colored lights. THAT WOULD BE SICK!

[@ligaar0849]

i did a small town here, large and small water purifier in the pond, wire fence surround, with a posted chair and table for the "person assigned to the waterworks. did a doctor shack and a couple of milti story houses, one build up and around a car as if its being refurbished with a couple of workbenches, scavenging station and toolboxes, too look like the car is being worked on. multiple shops, a diner using the main building with some radstag and deathclaw mounts on the walls, a couple of nuka machines fully stocked, loads of farm stuff.. im not done with it but im really proud of it. I may do something in the future to show off my settlements. Each video causes me to go back into working on my settlements. You're inspiring man. Your cooking pit with the fire underneath, i do something similar but i do it with the fire barrels instead.

[@chloelennon7690]

I love the way you decorate your settlements, it all looks very natural with the world of Fallout! This was incredible as usual. You’ve given me loads of ideas! 😊

[@Calhayes1]

This is absolutely crazy!! I’ve never seen the space been used like this before. Super inventive and a great watch as per usual!

[@nickteh]

Dude! Your settlements all look so fantastic & the videostyle is just so soothing. Good stuff! 👌🏻✨️

[@deadw1nd]

Brilliantly done Chap. I had to hit the subscribe button after watching that amazing build on my favorite settlement, Starlight Drive In

[@andreasi.2750]

Your style and vibe is simply perfect, this is easily my favourite channel on YT. Chill, entertaining and made by a guy with lots of passion and skill. Cheers mate!

[@PricelessBinkey1337]

He's like the Bob Ross of the fall out world. Only thing missing is him saying "And now I'm going to use the clipping technique, to put this wall on this wall and make a happy new little wall"

[@tenebrouspath6614]

This looks incredible, as if it was meant to look this way as you stumble upon the location. Great job man

[@jasonkershaw3198]

It always seems to amaze me on what people can create in this game. I love this arena build. I’m definitely going to try and make something similar.

[@Emily_W98]

Such a good area for this build! Loved the little story line part! I did think you could add a betting area so people could bet on who would win the battle! Also the way you decorate things is great just so realistic 😊 keep up the good work can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[@WhyWhatWhoWhenWhyAgain]

Sweet build! The death claw cage area looks like something out of the first jurassic Park movie ❤

[@craigunshallach4951]

I think, i should start decorating... looks aawesome. This is building on a whole new level. Fantastic!

[@skylerlucas3061]

Definitely would love to see epic battles! Love the videos!

[@Noledad77]

This is tremendous! I never would've thought to turn the drive-in into a gladiator arena. Cheers!

[@nickt2535]

I was wondering what I was going to build here in my new game... thank you buddy. 👍

[@ThatMBdude]

Another great video man! I love the little RP elements you put in really shows you're having fun making these ✌️😁

[@rolo546]

The decoration in your builds is amazing! Really well done, I can't imagine how long this must have taken xD

[@NinjabillReviews]

Just starting my foray into FO4 builds, and this was great, Useful tips and it looks terrific when finished, wouldn't change a bit.

[@radel1492]

I just love the settlement building in this game, I wish Bethesda would make a decent sequel and expand on this feature and give it more purpose

[@thedude4709]

Beautiful build my friend!!... Definitely going to use this concept..

[@michaelscott-joynt3215]

Nicely done. I began playing about 4 months ago, and Starlight went on my dream list to do something big like this, a fully walled town. I've been at for a while, good progress, but your build will make me rethink a few things, like zoning and partitioning, cutting down on the vast openness to create comfy living spaces. With a junk wall mod I use, you can build off the walls, so I kind of went overboard, walling around the entire usable space. I did that to try to keep the drive-in theme (I even attempted to patch the screen). I also like your point about decentralizing food; a big farm uses much space and kind of detracts from a theme. Well, it'll take me ages to complete at my rate, but I'll refer back here for inspiration. Cheers.

[@alexmoller5657]

These builds are so cool, this one especially is next level 😎

[@dukerider0319]

That’s awesome, great bit of story telling with the gouls at night 😅 keep up the great work!

[@twice1962]

This is really cool. I’m planning to build up Starlight as a Raider Settlement/Arena once I do Nukaworld, so this is a great template to work from

[@Breenzy91]

You're an exceptional builder. Good work.

[@nbmoleminer5051]

Nice/good little story segment Shawzzo

[@DizurtHD]

wonderful job m8 perfect detail

[@johnroberts838]

Incredible build, thank you 👍👍👍 Take care mate, Melbourne, Australia

[@ivyg3477]

Omg I didn't know I needed that level of immersion!!

[@ziggy071621]

I tried to make a version of this once. You did so much better. Great build.

[@valth5403]

Omg, absolutely fantastic! Love it.

[@bigbow62]

Great job on the build and thank you for the video ✌️🙂 I put in two 7 story buildings for a Power Armor Assembly Factory with a conveyor belt system and walkways connecting the two buildings and P.A suits in different stages of builds... Also filled it with over 500 P.A Suits and a Legenday Weapons. Then for some crazy reason a P.A Suit line-up consisting of 250 suits all the way over to Abernathy Farms and my two 18 story Twin Towers... made of 3 stories concrete and 2 glass stories alternating back and forth and top floors is the glass penthouses. In tower 1 there is a Legendary weapons vault with 5000+ weapons All of this was done w/o any mods.

[@thatbritishguypatrick]

Great build! I built my first arena at Starlight, but when Nuka World came out I got a bit obsessed with the NW Red Rocket and built a massive arena there, it looks a lot like a paintball arena. Using the CC Settlement Ambush kit as well it's become a constant warzone. Starlight got remade into a mega settlement only rivalled in size by Sanctuary.

[@BookieHeretic]

Looks great, very imaginative

[@-flavz3547]

Nice build. I love the pods. So simple but functional. I'm nicking them and dotting them all over my commonwealth.

[@rjreynolds8719]

The classiest scrappy deathclaw feeding pin 😂 good work.

[@paranormalgambler2814]

Cool placement with everything I been tryin think of how to build the place up

[@michaelwcotten]

Love the video! It deserves all of the views and so does your channel! I think some fights would be cool. Video 2 asking for Hangman’s Alley because I hate the location but I have to build there every time because it’s just too convenient.

[@wickedcrayon6022]

Just found this channel and I love it. Your creativity is very impressive. It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished using only the pillar and rug glitches. I like that you aren’t using mods. Subscribing so I can see all the cool things you build in the future.😊

[@marchingcorpses4007]

Very cool build. 🤘🏻👀🤘🏻

[@MasterSkyrim1000]

Now this is how to make an arena! I did something similar at Starlight in one of my plathroughs, but not nearly as detailed as this.

[@fabideg.4638]

Superbe construction mon gars !

[@mesutoraangel3830]

I really love the story he added during this video

[@DavidMiller-dt8mx]

Quite well done!

[@c00lpi3]

Great work!

[@EmmettF.W.]

The most impressive part of this whole build is the fact that you did this all vanilla. And it looks phenomenal.

[@ArnoldJudasRimmer..]

Superb work sir...

[@tomchatfield9217]

Right on brother! Looks amazing, keep up the good work. You should do Spectacle Island next.

[@Jib230181]

Awesome build. More bigger battles too please.

[@Traemarlo]

very creative good job mate

[@Jonwallachio]

Amazing mate, well done

[@joeoister1660]

I’ll spend 6 hours building a settlement and it won’t look half as badass as this lol, keep up the dope builds!

[@justincastro8964]

Okay here’s a few tips man. If you want to move things that when you try and move them an alert says it’s too heavy to move, all you have to do is drop a weapon or anything like it, pick it up like you would to place it and use it to push the “too heavy” items. This works for skeletons, engines and even cars. The only cars you can manipulate are ones that blow up. Tip two is about the size glitch. The best weapons to use hands down are gamma guns. My preferred way is to use 5 of them upgrade all 5 with the big dish then get 5 more and drop and use them specifically for this. I use 5 because I won’t have to deal with the multiple drop menu and differentiating them with mods will allow for a very quick and efficient method for size glitching.

[@NaughtyShepherd]

This is by far the best use of the drive-in theatre I’ve seen, and I’ve been playing since the game was launched.

[@withtheworks]

I love the like,, in character building rp? And I would definitely watch a huge ghoul v deathclaw tourney

[@damien49420]

Very great job 👍🏻

[@starfleet_dropout_99]

Awesome concept, great execution, the aesthetic is spot on! The arena is brilliant, loving the variety in combatants. It would be fun to watch a super mutant take on wave after wave of ghouls like the walking dead lol. Play the game of how many ghouls does it take to drop a mutant, or how many ghouls does it take to drop a deathclaw. Can you get the alphas???? Can you get a raider decked in Raider power armor unarmed to fight against whatever lol??? Keep it up, cheers from CA, USA.

[@ThatGuywithaCobra]

Just a little tip if you’ve hit your settlement building threshold and want to build beyond that limit easily without using mods, then you can store power lines connecting to two power circuit objects when you have open whatever object you want to craft and it’ll spawn that item thinking you removed an item. Then after you place your newly spawned object, you can reattach another power line to those power circuit objects without the engine thinking you’re crafting a new object and rinse and repeat.

[@GabrielNoimarBilharCaliendo]

Thank you very much!! Although isn't that flat, I finally know what to do with Spectable Island!!! An arena, training and trap ground..

[@deadmandave2914]

dude you are amazing do not stop doing what you are doing

[@BaseDeltaZero1972]

I've been using curbs and the like to align my builds for a while...it makes all the difference IMO. Starlight Drive-In would make a great Capitol for the Soul Survivors "new commonwealth", its a shame that most of us end up with all of our best NPC traders and stalls in Sanctuary when this prime real estate is just down the road and pretty central on the map. Excellent build (as usual). 👍

[@deadcastlutinut2441]

For future reference, the skeletons can be pushed if you drop a weapon and drag it into the prop you wanna push (easiest for me is a pipe rifle) it can also work for some of the dynamic cars. That way you won't have to waste grenades or risk damaging something in future areas

[@granzon7396]

That pillar glitch is a must

[@user-cl2rr1xu7w]

Классный видос. Спасибо большое за контент. На вечер то что нужно!

[@mandy_mm2665]

JUST A TIP AT THE END, HOPE YOU CAN READ THIS. (btw sorry for the english) love this videos, of years I been playing I have never found this kind of videos and I just want to give you like a small tip for connecting the cables and maybe you like it, instead of using the pillar glich with the generator you can do this-> if you don't like to have any noise near your constructions or just don't like to put a generator in the middle of somewhere you can put it as far as you want and later put a ground power conduit in front and connect it to the generator, when you have that ready put another power counduit wherever you want, now with the first power conduit connected to the generator you are going to see that black cable try to stand behind of the ground power conduit and put your camera on the cable and you will see the glowing color of your workshop yk, so you are going to put your camera on the generator with that glowing color and you are going to press the botton connect, one you make that there would be like no cable in your screen but your are going to hear the sound and now you are going to the other power conduit and press again the connect button and that way you will access to connect cables anywhere literally anywhere and it works also doing it with other power conduit, put one in the ground connect it to a first one then put another wherever you want and doing that thing with te cable. Hope this can help you somehow :D Also you can combine it with the pillar glich XD.

[@cybercapri]

If you are using the Place Anywhere Mod, you can actually move the downed side of the Starlight and put it back into place; therefore you're able to reclaim that space under it. It's either Place Anywhere or Scrap Everything Mod that allows you to pickup the fallen roof; either way it's worth putting back into place. Of course you won't get it 100% but even the other side isn't 100% but it still looks good with both sides up vs one side being down. Food for thought....

[@jackscott6395]

Cool content bro 🎉

[@yulkart76]

If you put a junk wall on the rug using its jumping points and use pillar glitch on the rug, it will allow you to move the junk walls even inside concrete walls. It adds a lot of opportunities for decorating

[@lightspeed4448]

Brilliant to watch Marcy against a Deathclaw

[@boltman1974]

That’s so damn cool

[@derekelliott6098]

For large lettering, I use the wall caged light - same one you have on the lamppost at pod 3. And also use the white, red ones in the lights section toward the end - shiny frame ones. They're not super bright. But enough to see what you wrote from the train bridge.

[@nickhelmer]

I believe you can also pillar glitch on non-dirt surfaces by placing a campfire for things like the diner roof. The pillar can sink into the campfire as if it is regular dirt.

[@tgclericoll572]

I build with mods but I made the slog into my battle arena. It was a scrappy dive bar with a cage built around the swimming pool. I was able to scrap the water and plants in there and with it I had a very cool looking cage match area.

[@elmo1639]

Instead of grenades, whenever I have dead ghoul bodies to move I use the Lorenzo's artifact that Cabot gives you after killing his dad. It's like a leaf blower for dead bodies. The ammo is expensive, but if money is no object... smoke if you got'em.

[@jasondefillippo9982]

love the vid

[@user-yb8ex8mx9x]

Ух! Это и правда лучшее место для того чтобы сделать арену. Пожалуй немного украду эту идею 😅 Отдельный респект за атмосферную сюжетную вставку про ночной расстрел зомби. Peace ✌

[@chriscollins8221]

Not checked the comments so if someone else has reference this I apologise. To reduce your settlement size larger weapons aren't necessarily better. Gamma guns, plasma guns and the weapon mods that have visual parts in them ( not the ones in closed boxes) have a much better reduction to the size bar. This helps to reduce the bar quicker than mini guns and missile launchers.

[@mwarner0]

Would love to see Graygarden, its next to the raised motorway so you can make some great vertical structures

[@JG-dh3ht]

Hi Shawzzo, love your vids! Are you planning to make a video about the castle too? That would be great

[@TheHeartlessHero]

The side with the collpaed roof, i use as a small home. I use the smallest vanilla walls and wall it off. I then put the matress in the projector room in there, asingle light, and a cooking station. I have no DLC's for Fallout 4, even though I've had the game since it was new. I made Sarlight a small town like what Oxhorn did. The settlers profit off of showing movies, but the flags are The Railroad and The Minutemen on the bilboard outside of the gates. All these years, and I've SLOWLY goi g through the game. I have multiple save files, and in each, the settlements are exactly the same. I do that because it just makes it seem like my files are all in the same world.

[@amkyn]

Awesome !!

[@theinsaneshecklador6598]

3:06 Group selecting the entire build and lifting it up would allow you to snap in the lower walls. After which you could group select it and lower it again. Glitching yourself under the map is another method that will often allow low walls like those to snap in. From the thumbnail I know you used junk fences which ended up looking better anyway. 5:07 If you ever get some gamma guns hold on to them. They are by far the best for reducing the sizebar. Give them a try sometime. Great job with the junk decor on this settlement.

[@casulwulfgaming1881]

A fully upgraded Assault rifle will remove a noticeable chunk of the build limit, so it's worth upgrading 4-5 assault rifles to use for the lil build limit glitch. (that is adding muffle, scope and so on)

[@TizbutaScratch]

I saw a video a couple years ago that found the size glitch worked based on polygons or something. They also found that for some reason folders work really well as dropables. If that still works? They're OP bcause they weigh 0. Awesome build by the way. I've been thinking of ways to turn hangmans into a nuka cola quantlet experience.

[@nickhelmer]

I like to integrate the movie screen into the arena wall when I build here. I want it to be like an entire resort kind of like a compact version of the Strip combined with a fight pit to gamble on as well.

[@bostonbluecollarstiff8167]

I turned this settlement into the central hub, a huge market place. All my provisioned are based out of here

[@19charlieboy89]

Quality build

[@robertmackinnon4414]

One way to help your pilar glitch is use a long conduit pipe as well

[@joshuaszeto]

actually, believe it or not, there is a small mesh floor asset but it's located within the warehouse assets

[@jackharland2022]

These builds are sick. I'd just started settlement building properly I've spend hours learning what works and doesn't and my save file has been corrupted this morning. I've had to delete everything and redownload everything I'm very upset as you can imagine 😅 my save had 3days worth of play time 😬

[@eddiecortes9047]

i did the red rocket build u did and ill gonna try to do this one too

[@dihydrogenmonoxidecontainm6064]

You probably could've used the warehouse or barn grate floors for the spectator entrance. it probably would've kept a similar theme, and would've probably been cheaper than concrete. Plus there are more variations to it than the concrete grate floor.

[@petere.9138]

For the boxing ring: use rubber mats as the canvas. Then use those wood pole electrical….fhingies, when you’re running power and need a connection between 2 points. Set them up so you have 3 levels, run wires, and voila.

[@Bill2bearockstar]

You can also push the skeletons with a gun. Just drop a gun and grab-hold it and start pushing things.

[@eroseland]

Save your grenades. You can push the corpses with other items that can be picked up like dropped weapons, tyres, trash cans. Items that are flat and scooped shaped are even better like barricades. If you take these items far away, like to a different cell they'll stop reappearing.

[@PricelessBinkey1337]

If youre on console and hit a build cap, and i dont think i heard him mention, you can drop weapons and scrap them, they give useful resources and drops your build meter more tham normal stuff
