How to Build Flush Banistered Stairs with a Spandrel Closet | Fallout 76

Hello Wastelanders!
Today I'm revisiting an older build element from by Fallout 76 How to Build series, to improve upon the concept| Flush Banistered Stairs with a Spandrel closet.
My previous technique involved a blueprint to get the desired result, and it thus limited the technique to newer builds where a blueprint could be placed and incorporated. This new technique does away with the need for a blueprint, thus making it more versatile, and much easier to incorporate into an existing build.
I'll cover how to get all the elements in place, and a few extra notes like getting items to place down under stairs without receiving an error from the build engine.
Let me know what you think of the new method!
Thanks for tuning in.

That looks amazing... but JFC we shouldn't have to do so much work for something so simple. Thank you for posting this!

[@tracyparry8596]

Love it! Lmao when you said "sometimes the game gets confused!" I really like how you explain the different steps at a more relaxed pace 😍 Sometimes others go so fast or don't explain the steps at all. Great job!

[@Darkspiderdash]

7:57 as long as your not in the recent Tab you can switch anything that you might think is stuck. Simple and to to point, great job on the details of making the stairs .

[@cobraman90]

I was thinking you need the catwalk to get flush staircases but that isn't the case 😁 so glad cuz the catwalks aren't available anymore

[@563Ben]

Excellent tutorial. I'm going to go try this now. I especially appreciated the part where you went over the "replace bug. " I can't tell you how many times I've had to explain that one to friends when they're trying to learn the building system.

[@LucyJanePlays]

You need to be in the roof tab to edit the roofs, the game sometimes defaults to the recent tabs and you can't switch objects in that tab. Looks great ❤️

[@starfoxBR77]

I got confused by this many times, specially when reverting walls with doors to regular walls.

[@VladministratorGaming]

Good tip, 👍

[@joshphilbee5970]

As of now, the game wont let me switch between the slanted barn roof and the flat barn roof, for some reason they dont appear in the same row on the build side, and when trying to replace my slanted roof to break the link, i dont get the flat roof option, only the slanted, no matter what tab i am on on the build side

[@starfoxBR77]

Just finished replicating your tutorial step by step. Super good. Thank you!

[@Cothfotmeoo]

Always know I'm in for some great and creative building tips when I click on your vids. Well played!

[@jeffreyjacoby9997]

Very cool, Vlad. A shame there isn't some workaround--other than an alternative set of stairs elsewhere in the build--that would allow for the use of actual floors upstairs.

[@sekaiishtal2508]

It’d be a hecka lot better if Bethesda made copies of all the stares in the game and have them be able to snap against the walls/corner ends of floors instead of snapping at the center section of floor tiles. But until that happens (which is never) I’m going to give this method a try.

[@lanthar]

Great tutorial. Closet looks great!

[@braydenpetersen125]

Is there any way to get flush stairs without any catwalks, because when they were in the atomic shop last, I missed them 😔

[@CircleofNerds]

Every time I try to slide the first foundation back I get an error that says “cannot move the item. Part of the structure would not be accessible.”

[@bowsreal7079]

Same has anyone found a fix

[@majorlouis956]

Custy m8 I could watch your videos all day

[@airbornejesus3845]

This is great! I used your blueprint of flush stairs to make my current build. Only thing I don't like about this is the outside texture on the inside of the stairs. Can we double wall so we can wallpaper both sides?

[@VladministratorGaming]

I haven't tried double walling it. The space is tight between the stairs and the banister, so there may be some collision issues even with the walls destroyed by the flamethrower.

[@VladministratorGaming]

I've been able to successfully double wall the angled walls next to the stairs. It does require some patience and using certain wall sets but comes out to a nice finish.

[@mmadd7]

I wonder if, since you know where the stairs will be, you could put whatever you want in the closet first and then place the stairs?

[@VladministratorGaming]

It may work for some small items, but you'll run into collision issues getting the stairs to snap over larger items underneath in most cases.

[@mmadd7]

@@VladministratorGaming yeah, I started thinking about that right after I posted my comment.

[@VladministratorGaming]

@@mmadd7 build order impacts so many things in this game, so I don't blame you for thinking outside the box. Unfortunately, stairs are just a pain even when using them as intended.

[@BurningSovereign]

What an absolute ballache! Couldn't they just add more snap points?

[@VladministratorGaming]

You would think, but then they'd have to add in some alternative wall panels where the door is off center.

[@sandylyle621]

It won't let me move the floor under the stairs

[@VladministratorGaming]

Got walls attached to it?

[@sandylyle621]

@VladministratorGaming I did the set up like you showed and I try sliding the foundation over to the steps and it won't let me

[@j.w.5510]

I don't have the catwalks nor can I find them to buy in the atomic shop

[@VladministratorGaming]

There are two sets now. The vault catwalks, and the alien catwalks. Both have the same properties and will work for this type of build. If they aren't active now in the atom shop, keep an eye out they will return.

[@DeanNJenBarnes]

Not lett8ng me delete the roof ??

[@VladministratorGaming]

Edit the roof from angled to flat or vise versa then remove.

[@sceneinvegas]

y next question.. how do you add a complete second floor?

[@VladministratorGaming]

Use roofs as the floor.

[@qgaming172]

I can’t get the stairs to place it says they’re floating

[@VladministratorGaming]

You have to place them without the foundation under them using the catwalks. You can add the foundation under once they are in place.

[@JokersWild777]

Thx u gonna subscribe to u n of course hit the bell again TY

[@peternagtegaal6293]

If it wont let you edit a quick solution is to build a stash box 📦

[@trumpet-titan4122]

I managed to do it without the roof skin and it was absolute pain (2+ hours)

[@VladministratorGaming]

It can be done quite quickly, but some building tricks take some practice due to the quirks of the 76 build system. The roof provides a natural snap point for the slanted side wall and helps move things along quickly.
