Fallout 76 Camp Tutorial | Seventeen Tricks You Can Do With Catwalks | Guide // Tips // Building

Here are some great tricks you can use to build the camp of your dreams with catwalks. I covered a couple of these tricks in previous videos, and there are a couple of easy ones in here, but there are several really good ones in here, including how to use catwalks to create a spawn point for sky camps and merging foundations into bridges. Thank you for all of your support through these recent tutorials!

One of the only videos I’ll ever comment on this guy has the only working glitches I see on this game

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@gorestfump4408 If I'm one of your only comments, then I'm truly honored. Thanks so much mate!

[@gorestfump4408]

No problem man keep makin vids

[@fluffnera]

I knew you can do a lot with catwalks but man some of these I didn't know. Once I get back into the swing of building I'll be trying out some of these to toss things up. Thank you sir!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Glad to be of assistance Fluffnera! I'm working on getting out as many tutorials as possible so everyone can build amazing camps. Thanks for stopping by to check it out!

[@nukacolanut6095]

The non removable stairs... one of the most infuriating mistakes ever...lol! Love these tips and tricks!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I think everyone (who builds custom camps) has done it at least once. There's nothing more heartbreaking than to scrap a camp because you snapped stairs to stairs or floors. Glad you like the tutorials my friend!

[@hokie97lvt]

Thanks so much for this. I was recently thinking I wanted to try camp building again, so the timing of this is perfect!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Yes! Welcome back to camp building. I hope you find my recent tutorials insightful!

[@Heartsdale111]

Thanks for the techniques. Considering how important building is in the game, one would think Bethesda would make better build tools. One thing I would like to see is an option to snap vertically. Some things were easier/possible in Fallout 4. I want to have a good looking camp but I prefer to spend more time playing the game.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

I completely get it. For me, the building in this game is a double-edged sword. On one side, I wish it were easier for everyone to do the tricks for creating amazing camps. On the other side, when someone takes the time to learn am the silly little building tricks, they can create something that is super unique and special.

Thanks Moonlight, I’ll have to watch this again and try a few☺👍

Sure thing! Let me know if you need any additional help!

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming Thank you!

[@UmbrosaDominus]

Good video! Hardest unsolved part for me is to use the upper floors instead of foundations above the shallow pond. When I use the foundation with a catwalk and then stair going down into water so i can build a foundation in the water but it isnt letting me as I get the stair can't be in the water message. Tried other tricks but no luck... Any trick for this one? Thanks!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Why don't you just use roofs as floors? Way easier.

[@taylerjohnson5120]

I'm trying to get a little more into building, what are some ways to use the merged foundations? I swear I struggle to be creative, but if I were to try to use them I can't place walls without there being a gap, do you have to have the abandoned mine set to work around that and be able to merge your walls?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Yes on the Abandoned Mine set fir parallel full walls, howeverif you're going perpendicularto the wall instead of parallel, you can use a greenhouse wall. If you're using half walls instead of full walls, you can use the new slant wall trick I made a tutorial on recenly to merge walls. As for the foundations, you can use that use them to make front porches, or just change the shape of your builds to make it unique.

[@angelajacks2175]

how do you make a bridge through water with them? like a freestanding bridge in your thumbnail?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@angelajacks2175 The thumbnail is an image of them floating in the sky. In the video there is a technique to make them free-floating. However you won't be able to do it underwater. You can do it over water though in most circumstances.

[@voltairis858]

Is it possible to free place the new Atom Shop trees?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Haven't tested yet. I doubt it, but I'll try this weekend. If I can, I'll make a tutorial. That said, you might be able to place them in a planter underground and float them up that way.

[@wintersteale]

Your tutorial videos have really helped my camp builds. I used to get so damn frustrated with upper floors all the time. A while back you mentioned using roofs instead so I started doing that as well. It has greatly reduced the amount of cursing involved during the building process. 😆

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Roofs are where it's at!! They are so versatile, and easy to work with. I'm always happy when I convert someone to using roofs as more than roofs! Very happy to have been an influence for your builds!

[@B3llaBo0]

When making the freeplace walls, are u able to scrap the mat after without deleting the wall? Also I am loving your tutorials. I am learning so much! 😊

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Yes, the mat only works as an anchor for the placement. It tricks the physics into thinking that the wall is snapped into position by the catwalk, and the small item (in this case, a mat) is the anchor point. Once the blueprinted walls have been placed, you can safely remove any other part of the blueprint that you would like. I'm so happy you're finding these tutorials to be helpful! Thank you for the kind response!

[@last2nkow]

If you make a freeplace set of the wooden catwalk can you use it to sink into earth and make wood slat footpaths?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Yes, although it will be tricky to get the level perfect. Also, the terrain's level variations will also create obstacles. But for someone with patience, it can be done.

[@HendarsChannel]

Thanks for the catwalk free place been trying to figure it out.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

No worries my friend glad to help!

[@sapphicseas0451]

I cannot for the life of me find where in the build menu catwalks are, I'm almost certain I bought them years ago when they came out

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Miscellaneous Structures. Is about a third of the way down the menu for me.

The camp at 7:35 is freaking sweet!

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Yeah, I built it and let my buddy take credit for it LOL!! All joking aside, I have a few of your camps as screensavers. You are arguably the best builder in Fallout after all.

[@EdumacatedChimp]

How do I get that flame thrower thing? I started playing 76 recently and would love to attempt some, if not most, of your blueprint creations for future camps.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Follow the Rose quest line, which will open the Scorchbeast quest line. Complete that, and the flamethrower trap plan is your reward.

[@EdumacatedChimp]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming awesome! I will definitely do that. On another note, can my character buy the plan for the Enclave medallion or is that also a reward from a quest? Keep these awesome how to's coming. 😁

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@EdumacatedChimp The medallion is an in-game reward.

[@leonardomaffei7256]

New catwalks are bugged or are free? Ahahaha

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

Use them while you can. They are available, but I think it might get reallocated to the corresponding bundle at some point. This has happened before.

[@sedarris_entrari2226]

Does the second to last one only work with the white catwalks? The bridge into foundation? I have tried with the new wooden ones and the rusty catwalks and all it does is separate them even further.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

It should work with any catwalk. Are you ding it exactly like I was in the video? From the exact placement of the catwalk to the order of blueprinting?

[@sedarris_entrari2226]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming yes sir :)

[@albundy7459]

How can I make a blueprint to place them on the ground?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@albundy7459 Follow the same steps to create the catwalk blueprint, then just lower the level your small camp item is sitting. This will raise the height of the catwalks, thus allowing them to clear any intersecting issues.

[@albundy7459]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming thank you.

[@VoreoSabrae]

do the "fort fortress" catwalks work as well as the white ones i see everyone using?

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

They work the same. However, there is less of a hit box to destroy them when necessary, which make them a bit tougher to work with.

[@VoreoSabrae]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming heres hoping we get to keep these things too, allegedly a bug from pts

Man that last part with the merging of the slanty foundations and the foundations into the covered bridges oh my god😮 That's awesome and I was trying to build stairs using those catwalks that mysteriously got into my inventory 😁but after watching this I'm on a whole level. So thanks again for your videos 😊

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@whytheseaisboilinghot Glad to hear it! I have more tutorials in the works, so hopefully you will get all the camp building tricks you need to make the camp of your dreams!

[@whytheseaisboilinghot]

@@MoonlightCowboyGaming I like making traps, not ones where you have to activate it as soon as somebody runs in but ones that work if I'm nowhere near the camp. So they're kind of passive so people can go back and put the card on and pick their s*** back up. The slanty foundations as roofs as a sticky wall trap I think would just look crazy good. And I'm not like mean or anything and I don't need anyone's junk.... I know that they're not so popular and people hate them but I think they're cool. If you're a low level with your little guy and you die in my camp, if I'm around and I see it happening I'm going to fast travel to your low level character and just drink some toxic goo so you can get your junk back. If you're a high level I'm probably going to keep your s*** because you should know better, unless it's like flux or something then I'm not going to keep that cuz it's difficult to obtain. But I like the challenge with creating something that looks like something else also with maintaining and working within the budget limitations it's not easy. Also I was tired of seeing all these s***** looking trap camps that as soon as you walk up either the pungie boards spawn in first or it just straight up screams I'm a trap camp and is unoriginal uninspiring and just looks like a straight up trap I was like I can do this better and make them more fun. And I know a lot of people create trap camps so that they can initiate PVP and piss off players because all they want to do is PVP That's all they're looking for is a good fight I'm not that type of person I just like to build. And most people afterwards will fast travel back and ask me how I built it and give me some compliments. I ran into one KZbinr who I'm not going to name but they spent like 5 minutes at my camp and like ran around trying to figure out how it worked and and what I had done to create the effect it was pretty cool.

[@MoonlightCowboyGaming]

@@whytheseaisboilinghot Trap camps don't bother me, so long as they aren't used to troll newbies fresh out the vault. The wasteland gets boring, and I usually get a kick out of falling for traps. Honestly, if I think I see one, I still walk in anyway to test it out. You're right about the junk. If I'm rolling around with mats and junk, then I deserve to lose it lol.
