Fallout 76 - Building Tips, Tricks and Useful Blueprints

[@Pit_Wizard]

I've been playing since LAUNCH and I didn't know about pressing L1 and R1 to raise and lower stuff. Mind blown.

[@Nyroc57C]

How do you do it on pc?

[@jordanfrench9178]

The......WHAT?!

[@adamthomas4462]

Works the same way on pc if you use a controller

[@bensmokeonline]

It was the same for fallout 4 :)

[@SpikeBlighty]

Great info dump. those stair/turret platforms are genius. So simple but effective.

[@steveharrison76]

I use them a lot. One ball ache is that I like to put a building wall on the gap under the turrets facing outwards to make it look less rickety, but it makes the whole thing really finicky to place.

[@MissusMeatball]

Why am I only finding you now! Thank you for this, so very, very useful for this fellow builder addict! One thing I've found that helps with trying to place blueprints of actual houses, is not including the stairs in the blueprint and just adding the stairs on afterward. I have a much easier time placing a larger "house" blueprint when it doesn't have stairs; I think the stairs are finicky and limit where you can place things. Not a great tip, you probably already know it haha, but figured I'd share anyway 😀 Thanks again!

[@kevinlasher2812]

Great video, small request: stickied comment with timestamps for each trick

[@mehtarelingolien]

Also: how to do certain tricks on different platforms. I'm on PC, and would love to know how to move things along a selected plane using an actual keyboard.

[@theyorkshiregamer9791]

I’ve followed you since Fallout 4 days, I’ve only just started playing Fallout 76 (pre 30 rank) your building techniques are now perfect for me starting out with my camps!

[@wickedcrayon6022]

You’ve always been good about making tutorial videos and it’s really great of you. You help a lot of people. If I lived near you, I’d buy you a pint for being such a decent sort.👍😁

[@nbmoleminer5051]

Same here.

[@andycarr4354]

Nice tips, especially with the posts! One you didn't mention was how to put a turret on top of a concrete defence wall; put the turret onto the smallest mat, this allows you to pick up both and place (on the join between 2x walls). Was well chuffed when I discovered that one!

[@ThePond1955]

Ideas on the public defenses are so handy for a newer playing like myself. Thank you so very much.

[@Gunslinger42]

One useful building eccentricity I found is that the behaviour for doorways (what you can remove, what you can snap to them, etc) is different to walls/windowed wall panels - but then once you're done you can switch the doorway to the wall variation in place with the modify/replace option For example I've used this to sink walls part way into the ground (a second wall will snap to the bottom of a doorway, if I remember correctly, but not a wall), and to allow me to remove foundations that otherwise would have complained about unsupported structures. Hard to explain in text, but experiment with what you can move/attach/remove from a doorway vs a wall, and remember to just finally change the piece in place (without removing or picking it up)

[@NAHTE1696]

You can stack the framed staircases using the pillars. Place a foundation, snap a pillar to the foundation in the middle, stack the pillars, snap the staircases to the pillars. You can do some interesting stuff with this.

[@NAHTE1696]

@SinisterHAND I've only recently learned, so I figured it wasn't that public lol

[@NAHTE1696]

@Dethedrus No? you just have to work backwards from where you end up, I've literally done this.

[@cheeseflannel8343]

The white patio tables make good turret stands, too. Can be put on the little shack guard posts to raise it up a bit

[@last2nkow]

love these tips, they inspired me to make my own Alien invader defence ships! basically its the alien space ship jungle gym play area prefab filled with a little generator and some laser turrets at the entry points. they are great for defending extractors partially because it confuses the hell out of other plares to see half a dozen space ships helping with your molerat problem XD makes great photos too XD

[@keithmichael9965]

Started out with a one room shack in the forest. Now, I have a two story brick mansion up in the Savage Divide with a generator room, vending veranda, and full garden. Any tips on floating razorgrain?

[@LeonardoDaVincisGrandson]

Just started playing 76 and this guide is great!subbed

[@joshuaroberson1704]

Thanks for the blueprint tips! Always knew that was a feature, didn’t realize the benefit until now.

[@jmwngu1358]

Just started FO76 recently and been watching your FO4 (and I think Skyrim but that could be EpicNate) videos for a long time, keep up the good work! I just wanna say, I did try the rug glitch. Build rules be damned lol I wanted to put more stuff in my trailer and wasn’t surprised at all that it worked XD

[@joshengel8352]

For my workshops, if i plan on keeping them for a long period to stockpile resources, I'll make a little 2×1 shack with a bed, an instrument, and some lights just to keep refreshing my well rested and well tuned perks so i always have ap regen and xp bonuses while I'm there. Plus then i can heal between defences without using aid items.

[@LaurenR187]

You can also use your camp module for figuring out what is removable and what isn’t while you’re in the process of trying to figure out where you want to place your camp. Use half height posts to set foundation heights to match half height walls. Don’t be one of those tards who puts a foundation down and spends 20 minutes trying to eyeball it. Work smarter not harder.

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

Hi, great video. I’m really needing a vintage water cooler as I’m moving my camp to whitespring as I hate enemy spawns when in my camp. I need a water supply and that’s the only way I know how to get one without a natural water supply nearby. There doesn’t seem to be plans anywhere. Any advice? 🙏

[@lewisner]

Regarding the tip at 2.05, if you have Fallout 1st you can use your Survival Tent to check whether you can "bulldoze" items.

[@houldcroft89]

13:56 my OCD got a little shaky here lol, I would have flipped one of the boxes 180* so that the hinges met in the middle properly......but that's just me haha

[@nbmoleminer5051]

It's the wastland it's supposed to be messy.

[@LaughingLiftingGaming]

Thanks a lot man, love making bases that actually make sense and those steel supports are HUGE!

[@H1WolfKing]

Thank you I have had so much trouble building with the metal supports

[@onetel21]

Thank you for showing us those. Maybe you could do a building tutorial for some blueprints that you can place down "for free"at any workshop (since you get access to some materials once you own it). Just some quick bases to place down at will with everything you might need (bed, a crafting station, instrument, turrets, cool design :P ) without actually paying any material.

[@jaychewinonmetal2912]

Keep making these tips and trick videos for building. A lot of my settlements in Fallout 4 I built with no mods. Until mods are put in a 76, we will have to make due. Thanks

[@scottcourtney8581]

The tip for quarter-height foundation stepping is brilliant. I'm going to try that in my next build with a Fusion Generator, to slightly sink the two tiles underneath the generator and give me a bit more working height between it and the upper floor above it.

[@koolkevin2357]

Nice and effective! Thank You! I Think those stands for turrets are quite pretty in their effectiveness!

[@OutcastMunkee]

I might have to pinch some of these for Fallout 4 because quite a few of these could work there too. It'd give the buildings a bit more 'flesh' and character to make them stand out and be unique.

[@goldendon511]

at 12:42 use a campfire than and place the windmill on the edge of it it is a small usefull glitch

[@hiddendesire3076]

4:52 False, you can, just extend out the platform, make a hovering corner and do it again. I did it for my front porch and have a full series of supports (also the white hanging light bulbs).

[@danielblack7977]

This video helped me so much. Thanks mate.

[@sosajtysos2680]

3minutes of video and sub earned nice job man keep it up

[@Harkness197]

Great vid bro 👍

[@alisal5637]

the windmill genny seemed to snap onto the top of the 2-level staircase for me, on my last home. i didn't get it on video but it snapped to it somehow.

[@chrisfenech9003]

Thank you for posting - VERY helpful !

[@Mike_roads]

Will you maybe consider build a base at vault 51 I checked and you can build a base at the vault and their is a oil reserve their to idn maybe it could be a cool build Just Something to consider anyway love your vids hope you keep doing what you're doing

[@wanglonghard9365]

I wanted to do this to my camp but I couldn't figure out how to do it, Thanks!!

[@ashleysims4115]

I want to be able to build things that look new

[@your-best-life-network]

Question re we dismantling a base why do I have some walls and floors that refuse to scrap? Have tried to move in reverse order and it did not help.

[@norespawns]

sometimes that happens unfortunately, best bet is to just place you camp down again to store everything

[@billyjennings1523]

How close is building compared to fo4?

[@panicfarm9874]

I still have my “camp” under the bridge in The Mire, quite profitable shop I have there, people think it a great idea that IVE come up with - thanks fam

[@grjsmith]

Really useful video man, thanks!

[@Lboyshow]

what with the doormat trick? u can place "anything in anywhere" if u put the object in a doormat and then move both.

[@Nyroc57C]

How do you move more than one item at once?

[@Albertaelk]

Thanks for the tips!

[@CobaltWaltz]

This was actually really useful.

[@vashu4895]

do you know how to move camp objects that are placed just below the water surface? i placed a floor piece that way and i can see it clearly but cannot interact with it

[@norespawns]

not yet, unfortunately, and I've had the same issue in the past. In that instance, I just place my camp down again in the same spot, as it packs everything away.

[@vashu4895]

@@norespawns i did that. but i was building under the bridge so you know from autopsy, the floor was a bitch to place. and it took me way longer the second time :D thanks for the idea btw. and good luck with 100k. so close. nuka cheers

[@SilverRedFoxGaming]

Great tip video, I learned alot.

[@astarothnz8756]

how and where is the post? wahts the name of the plan

[@samuelvicena9940]

is ultracite power armor speedrun possible because i get it on lv 23.

[@BubblingkettIe]

Brilliant video!

[@PhinsBlazers]

are heavy laser turrets worth it?

[@crunchytoast1427]

Phins Blazers no. Lvl 2 machine gun turrets and missile turrets. Heavy laser turret barely does any dmg to 68+

[@davidarbogast37]

I bet the windmill generator would place normally if you created the blueprint with the additional foundation pieces and then just remove them anytime you place the blueprint.

[@nbmoleminer5051]

Thanks for this really helpful video Dave/David.

[@SickNote93]

So if I take over a power station and build my fusion generator to power a fusion processor , it doesn't use my resources?

[@norespawns]

correct - you can tell as the required resources are in green if they're being used by the public workbenches pool and in white if it's your personal stash. Worth noting that the available resources are limited, so you check before you place anything down.

So beside's the blueprints these tips work in fallout 4, rights?

yup

Great information, but you go so fast it is driving my ADD/HD crazy! Ha ha ha @ self. I have watched this twice, and i will need to rewatch it more so i can fully grasp the "how to". Thank you for sharing your work.

Where is this camp?

[@cynicaltonez]

I been playing for some time now and the raising and lowering I never knew and was wondering why they didn’t add It😂

[@BLUES525]

Thank fook you've done this😄😄😄😄 Frustrated is the word that comes to mind while trying to build

[@lostinthevoid2208]

can you make a BoS camp please

[@bologna3048]

CAMP Building = Black Magic

[@slty1021]

They should make it so you can bulldoze and it would stay there untill you remove your camp

[@PCLHH]

But now, the grass is growing thick throw my floors...Bethesda, Bethesda, Bethesda...sigh

[@mehtarelingolien]

You might know by now, but... putting Fasnacht confetti on the ground before placing your foundations usually helps to keep that grass permanently away.

Bad ads vid. Thx. I'll use allot of these.
