Fallout 76 Camp Tutorial | Eight Tricks You Can Do With Your Camp Device | Guide // Building // Tips

Here are eight tricks I use often when building that our handy camp device can do! Some you might know, some you might not. I hope everyone finds this useful. Share it with your friends who are learning about camp building!
The first trick was shown to me by ‪@alexp2629‬ I know tutorials have been made about it, but that's where I learned it from. He is an amazing builder. So please check out his channel and sub if you like awesome camp builds!
/ @alexp2629
Disclaimer: The conduit was very hard to place. it took me over 5 minutes of moving around to get it. There is one tiny sweet spot that you have to place it on. Some of you might not be able to get it to place if you lack persistence!

[@xWebdriverTorso]

Really glad you’re releasing more tutorials. Now I can skip to process where I try to do something you did with your camp, struggle with it for 8 hours, go to bed in shame, then figure it out randomly while I’m doing a starter in a 96 F-150 the next day at work, and hope I remember it till I get home.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

That was a very specific analogy lol! I'm really glad to help, and I have more tutorials in the works. Thanks for checking them out!

[@xWebdriverTorso]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming unfortunately more reality than analogy 😂 love the videos man. You’re probably the best builder out there right now so it’s cool to get to learn from ya

[@Jakenh84]

Moonlight Cowboy is the GOAT fr!

[@adriangunn]

I've been camp building for like 2 years now and I cannot believe I didn't know about the first trick in the video lol. So much frustration would have been avoided - thanks for sharing this!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I felt the same way when I first found out! I'm glad I was able to share this with everyone!

[@Milney1983]

Great tutorial MC!! That’s first trick with placing foundations in hard to place spots is a winner for me!! Didn’t even know that & thats gonna help me out massively… Cheers buddy 😁👍🏻

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

My pleasure! Alex showed that to me a while ago. It's a very handy trick. I think back to an of the builds I gave up on because I couldn't snap a foundation lol! Glad you enjoyed it Milney!

[@dazzmead]

OK so i just learned 7 new things!! Great video moonlight your delivery and format is really good and more importantly simple to follow, which is key to a good tutorial.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I'm glad you found the video to be impactful Dazz! I'm learning that the building community as a collective doesn't know as much as I thought. Everyone knows some things, but very few know most things. I'm going to work to get the information out there for everyone. Thanks for taking a gander!

[@wintersteale]

Oh Yeah! MC helping us all up our camp building game! Thank you so much for these awesome tips and tricks.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I'm just happy to be of assistance. I'll share everything I know. Thank you for spending time checking out my content, it means a lot!

[@wastelander8428]

Thanks for this tutorial MC👍🏼 With this tricks everyone can build a unique camp

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

That's my hope, that everyone can build the camp of their dreams. Thank you for checking it out!

[@MisterJ-ROC]

Thanks so much for your videos, the floor foundations trick with the camp module is new to me. Thanks I needed that. I use to buoda a symptomatic, go under the ground and place it while glitching through the map

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I either use the stairs/bass chair trick or the outdoor shower (works the same as the symptomatic, but smaller diameter) to get underground. I'm working on a tutorial for building underground as we speak! Thank you for taking the time to check out the content mate!

[@Funkles]

I actually had no idea the Camp module was this versatile. Fantastic explanations and always straight to the point, thank you!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Thank you! I'm finding that people prefer the voice-overs to the subtitles. I'm super stoked that you found this info useful Funkles!!

[@oagardo]

Thank you! I only knew that we could make things go upwards with the c.a.m.p. and i love that wind chime lamp, it's such a simple thing but it can change a camp in a big way.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I'm glad you were able to find some useful info! Thank you very much for checking it out!!

[@Nympoo1]

Yup game changer for me, I didn't know about most of the tips shown, and that first one is so sweet, so many times ive wanted just one floor to fit and it wouldn't go blue. Thank you loads for sharing this x ♥

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I'm glad you were able to find some new tricks for your toolbox! I appreciate all of the support you give as well! 🥰

[@joshuajeetkunedo]

Thank you for sharing! That's awesome info☺️

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I'm glad you found it to be helpful! Thanks for checking it out!

[@RRMdR]

The first 1 is game changing. Thanks!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Wow! Thank you, I'm glad to share.

[@Allegedly_Monkey]

Awesome tutorial! I drive myself insane for hours at a time trying to figure out what items get support or need support from other items. And by the next time i want to do the same thing i have forgotten, and the vicous cycle starts again lol. This will save me tons of time, especially when building floating prefabs or merging them through terrain. Most of the new prefabs that have been added in the last year or so have extremely small hit boxes. So small, in fact, that i somehow manage to get them stuck up in trees or halfway up the side of a cliff almost everytime I use them 🤦‍♂️

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Thank you, I'm glad to be of assistance! I have more tutorials on the way.

[@B3llaBo0]

I did not know the trick with the foundation’s!! 😮 u have no idea how many times I had to scrap to readjust my foundations 🤯 Thank u!!🙏

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Same here! When I learned this one, I immediately flashed back to all of the builds I scrapped due to foundation issues lol! Glad to help my friend!

[@B3llaBo0]

[@BellySyrup]

Awesome. I really only knew about the most basic... to separate items. Have you played around with the shootable targets, such as the tin can or golf tee? I never liked how when items are destroyed with a flamethrower, or spike trap, that they're still "there" when trying to stack a new item on top. Using the shootable target, once shot, the item ontop is just "gone". You can then put anything overtop, foundations, prefabs, defence or floor items etc... as if nothing was there. Repair the tin can, and bam, theres your merged items. I really like it to get tighter junk walls into prefabs like the seedy shed, and having it clip through the prefabs foundation as well.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I love the shooting targets for that exact reason. I didn't make a tutorial about it because I'm pretty sure it's been done before. But yeah, that's definitely one that I keep in my little bag of tricks! I'm glad you found my tutorial helpful!

[@wolfredbeard5871]

Am aware of the tin can ,didn't know about the golf tee. Although, I don't think they're available any more

[@jawafour]

MC, wow, I had no idea about most of these tips! That one about placing the module on the edge of a floor piece to assist another one to fit in next to it could be very useful indeed. Thank you for continuing to share your cool tips, dude!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

My pleasure! I have plenty more on the way, so hopefully you will find data that you can extrapolate to help with building!

[@ethannewberry6602]

I’ve spent weeks trying to make my boulders float without having floor mats under them hidden beneath the map. you just made a floating island build I’ve been working on possible, thank you so much, I’d pretty much lost hope on ever completing it

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to find out what you needed to know to make it happen! Thank you for checking out my tutorial!!

Don't forget, the C.A.M.P. device can also be used to help merge items to the chessboard display as well. It's a royal pain, but saves you a poker chip, LOL!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Thanks KR!

[@TheBatmansbrother]

Wow! I'm like 2k hours in and I've spent god knows how long building and I've never seen those tricks. Very cool.

As my build skills are still in their infancy, then I saved it right away my to do list.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

These are easy for anyone to do. I hope you build something amazing with your newfound knowledge!

[@Dajjer]

Cool. But is this with a pc or console? With my PC I can't move my camp device at all. It is greyed out. My camp is fully built out, maybe 10 percent storage to go.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

That's really strange. I'm on console, but I've never heard of that happening. I'll validate the Camp Device tricks with my PC friends.

[@seanpelletier]

Can I get an update so I can place that gas station awning from the battlepass in concrete blocks

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@seanpelletier You can do it with this tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZS8qK1sh8iVj5o

[@seanpelletier]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming thank you, but I keep getting "must be placed on terrain" and can't make it float that way, that or I'm just disabled asf.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@seanpelletier Ahhhh I see. If it's a terrain issue, I'll have to find a workaround, if there is one. I'll play around with it this weekend and see what I come up with. Sorry for the confusion mate!

[@Charles-rp4vs]

Man.... I'm never gonna be as good as you or others with this camp thing...

[@Charles-rp4vs]

what platform do you build these on by the way? Curious~

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Sure you will! I've had my channel for 5 years. I didn't start getting good until maybe 2-3 years ago. Back then, there was a culture of gatekeeping techniques. Now, the floodgates are open, and (almost) everyone is sharing what they know. It just takes patience and practice. But anyone can do what I can do if they apply themselves.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@Charles-rp4vs I build on PS in Adventure mode.

[@Charles-rp4vs]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming Aaaaaaa I moved from PS to Pc recently, darn, you have a discord?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@Charles-rp4vs I gave up the Discord channel that I had. I am on Discord @MoonlightCowboy and I'm heavily involved in TNG's Discord.

[@passthesunchips12]

I swear they've patched the ability of some things to merge, cos I'm trying to do the one with the lantern and the windchime and the lantern won't merge with the windchime :( i also cant get any flamethrower merging to work because the items that are broken still register as being in the way

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

For the windchime merge, the windch8me is likely in the way. Simply destroy the item the windchime is attached to (probably a wall) and the windchime will disappear. Then put your lantern in place and repair. Easy. As for the flamethrower merging, it does not work with all items.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Also, check out this tutorial that explains the processes better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apzSf6qDq9aloZY

[@David__________]

how can i do this in workshops without a camp module?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I would love to know myself mate.

[@RompRat42]

I have a question. Hopefully someone can help me. I play on pc, using a wired xbox controller. I can not for the life of me get stuff to merge down into anything. I know peeps use controllers and merge stuff. Is there a specific technique you controller players use for this? Please forgive my noobness 🙏

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Did you follow these steps? Option 1: Place pressure plate. Pick up pressure plate. Put down pressure plate. Stack two mergeable items on pressure plate. Pick up bottom item and put it down repeatedly until item is merged. Did you follow these steps? Option 2: Place pressure plate. P)ace mannequin on corner of plate. Stack two mergeable items on pressure plate. Pick up bottom item and put it down repeatedly until item is merged.

[@RompRat42]

@MoonlightCowboyGaming ok thank you I'll try this! I thought you had to move the items with your movement stick or something... thanks for explaining this!

[@Oldmanmatt]

I absolutely love your work - but its still too advanced for me. As a newb of only 4 months, i dont understand merging AT ALL, and watching you raise the items didn’t make sense to me at all. I’m trying to find your “so you just bought fo76 and your camp looks like hot garbage” tutorial

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

It takes time to learn all the tricks of the trade. Just watch lots of tutorials and practice. I have close to 40 tutorials, including build tutorials. Most of the tricks of the game are listed in the tutorials, so I highly recommend checking them out. There are other great tutorials out there from LucyJanePlays and TNG76 that Ib would also recommend.

[@Oldmanmatt]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming totally get it! After Gamer Aviator mentioned you in the review about the new fort, I popped over and started watching your tutorials.
