Fallout 4 The Castle No Mods Settlement Build Tour. Fully Repaired Minutemen Castle Next-Gen Update.

In my 50th video! We travel to The Castle to finally see my Minutemen HQ. This is a real no-mods playthrough build, even all the resources were collected normally in the game.
This build uses all the DLCs and a few Creation Club items. If there is any item you are not familiar with, then send me a message and I'll find it for you.
I've tried to come up with a scrappy lore-friendly settlement that looks like it has some history to it and ties in nicely with my other builds. Did I manage it? I'll let you tell me in the comments below.
Once again massive thanks to all of you who are getting involved with helping and supporting the channel.

One small thing ruins the castle for me personally, which is the HAM radio the guy is using on the table is not even turned on lmao.

[@FalloutPBC]

That is a very small detail to notice in a very big build area. Maybe put a light on his desk, make it look like some power is on.

[@FalloutPBC]

Thank you so much for the lovely message! You may be surprised to hear that voice-over is the part of the process I dislike the most. I told the story in some of my early videos that I had zero belief that anyone would watch me. My late father convinced me to put up a build video. I hope I'm a bit better than I used to be but I still struggle. The voiceover on this video took me 6 hours and I still wasn't really happy with it. I never am. So a massive thanks for your message it helps a lot! Sadly KZbin seems to be full of people who have made it their full-time job to trash everything and put creators down. Kind messages like yours are the only reason I keep making videos! Without you, this channel doesn't exist! Know that your support is deeply appreciated.

god dam.. this is a really nice build .. I want it. I wish I could download this build for my game.. I am god awful at building. I really can't make a settlement work or look good no matter how much I try. I end up just doing the most bare minimum to keep the settlements friends with me - like 20% happiness if I'm lucky.. It hurts being so terrible at building but wanting a really good looking settlement

[@stevenrhude8520]

Am i the only one that uses all the food options for settlers? Seems like everyone just has mutfruit forests.

[@FalloutPBC]

No, I do like to use a wider range of food types in other builds. The choice of using mostly Mutfruit here was for the decorative aspect. It made a massive difference to the bare blank walls, and helped to brighten the build-up and give it more life.

[@Dathand]

Did you have to use the store weapons exploit to get more build limit? My castle limit seems pretty small. Goated build btw

[@Mr._Anderpson]

Love your Castle build. Playing on console limits you to making the changes you add truly count. I play on PC, & my builds can be a mess. The light boxes are a great touch. I did something similar in Sanctuary, Red Rocket, & Abernathy Farm. I connected a siren to a fireworks mortar. Flipping on the siren turns on the launcher. When you arrive during an attack, the settlement is usually firing off fireworks to announce they're under assault & call for reinforcements. I built a shanty town to the north of the Castle. The reasoning was settlers would withdraw into the "keep" during an attack. Unfortunately, Fallout 4 settler NPCs swarm any attacker like angry bees. Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses a few settlements as recruitment/training centers. It is so much more simple to dispatch them where you want them rather than carrying arms & equipment to each settlement.

[@FalloutPBC]

Many thanks! Interesting idea with the firework launcher!

[@Mr._Anderpson]

@@FalloutPBC Thanks. I've used another setup in a few places with the red & green lights. Set up pylons connected to separate generators & either an XOR or XNOR logic gate. When a settler hits the siren, it flips the logic gate, shunting power from the pylons & conduits which provide green lighting and transferring it to the ones which provide red lighting. "Red Alert" from Star Trek was the basis for the idea.

[@FalloutPBC]

@@Mr._Anderpson Another great idea!

[@johnnygannon490]

Your builds are simply amazing mate! I love how you utilize space efficiently, give it the lived in vibe and I'd never really thought about it until now, but I really dig the work in progress vibe you've added. I usually put concrete foundations or the mesh floors everywhere to shore up the gaps in the walls, but im definitely going to use some of your ideas in my next playthrough!

[@FalloutPBC]

Many thanks! That work-in-progress thing is something I'm going to do more of. It just seems to make sense. I doubt any settlement would ever seem finished to the settlers. I guess they would always be adding or fixing something.

[@Pistolicus]

This is magnificent! I don’t think I’ll get to your level of meticulous item placement but as a new builder it’s definitely given me inspiration to tackle the Castle.

[@FalloutPBC]

Many thanks! You will get there, just keep adding small amounts every time you visit. The settlement will grow organically in no time.

[@articlevftw8920]

Wow, this is a great build. I really like the elevator that goes down to the coast with the barrels that makes it look like the start of a harbor/fishing wharf type area. I may have to copy that idea because I just downloaded a mod that has drawbridges as well as a placeable version of the Sanctuary bridge that I think would really make that area look like a functioning harbor.

[@FalloutPBC]

Sounds like a great idea! It was frustrating to not be able to fully develop the ideas in these builds to their fullest. In my later builds I tend to pick one idea for a settlement and fully develop it. I think the Castle is a great place to do your full-size dock. Thanks for your support and good luck with your build!
