How to Light Your Vault - Vault 88 Lighting Tutorial - Vault-Tec Workshop for Fallout 4

You truly are the Bob Ross of settlement building.

Skoogy Moogy glad I'm not the only one who was thinking exactly that.

He also said Hwhite like Bob Ross

[@Johnnyy832]

He’s just a little pervy lol

[@seannewboy8612]

Anyone besides me not like the fact that the vault lights dont have any actual light at the source, they cause light but dont have any light themselves.

[@oxhorn]

There is a glitch. You have to log out of the game and log back in for the lights to actually appear lit.

[@markaradigan]

I restarted the game recently on vanilla. I just put a power generator in the Entrance to the vault to power all my defenses. Is seven years later and your videos are still awesome

[@MrJack2449]

I love watching your vids right before bed. very relaxing. kinda therapeutic lol

[@oxhorn]

Haha well, that's great!

[@CounterNerd]

18:56 The long silence before the evil giggle just made that soooo much funnier xD Holy shit

[@RaniverRagged]

i built my overseers room and covered it in strobe lights, disco balls, and red and green wall lights and i think shes annoyed.

[@LucasNavim]

just finish that crazy bitch

[@mandala314]

Add cycling lights, 6 gives you a nice rainbow glow. They run by console.

[@mandala314]

Lucas Magalhaes Nah! If you do her insane experiments just right, you get 4 great new devices! And relaxed high happy settlers. Bit of a gambling problem though ...

[@jtw.111]

I wish someone would make a mod that lets you snap the lights right on the ceiling...that'd make life a lot easier

[@GabesFans]

Especially those flat florescent lights, they always sink below the ceiling and I can't fix it

[@CounterNerd]

I certainly learned a lot. I like the way you talked about the contrasts between dim utility areas and open, bright residential areas. Certainly very inspiring, mister Oxhorn!

[@michaelhitchcock9255]

Using Place Everywhere, you can use the short horizontal conduit pipes to pass through thick walls and the long ones to pass through very thick walls. You just have to make sure the ends are clear, so the snap points don't end up in the wall.

[@NelliMarie1]

lmfao! I have 2000 hours on this game and I never took the time to figure out what the conduits do. That's Hella helpful.

[@mandala314]

The wiring glitch helped me SO much! For wires going through walls & ceilings, all hidden. Then Place Anywhere (Xbox 1) to remove the signs. Also, hiding candles inside the walls is brighter, warmer and looks awesome around windows, doors and corners. Like a warmer version of the pre-made vaults. Just place carefully so you don't have to disassemble your build to grab lights.

[@gabe759]

somebody make an invisible wires mod where you can only see them in workshop mode

OH DAMMIT IT ALL TO HELL!!! Too bad I can't catch mirelurks and deathclaws then have them skulk around the vault!!! That would be awesome.

[@Daredhnu]

pretty sure you can catch those with the cages from wasteland workshop, they can even be friendly if you have a beta wave generator running when you release them. unless the vault 88 build area prohibits those items from being built which would be kind of shitty.

A two minute commercial for the Epic Times that I could not skip. This video better be worth it.

[@DJ-rs9io]

Thanks for this it's given me some new ideas, since I've found lighting to be one of the most finicky parts of vault building. (Excavation? Structural support? Air quality? Nah, lighting is the tough nut to crack!) But my favorite part is that you also built a "secret" room on top of your atrium!

[@vandymine]

Hi oxhorn, i'm new to your channel and just wanted to say how much i enjoy your fallout 4 videos! Always learning new things every time i watch one! Thanks for the great content

[@oxhorn]

You bet, thanks for subscribing!

[@TheBrett1890]

Also, I have a bit of a thing for those little hanging light bulbs as well, they just are so good.

[@TheBrett1890]

One tip for escaping settlers in vaults (I get this a lot, especially curie for some reason). I use the console commands based precise movement mod that Oxhorn uses to move them where I want them i.e. not wandering around outside the vault and dying.

[@cthomaspeasant3059]

This has been very helpful, now I can actually work on the vault

[@ganjah.e.r.bdinosaur5638]

Corbin Thomas haha when I started fallout with dlc while ago i was like fuck yeah imma do vault 88 but since its soo big and way too much work and new i didnt even bother but seeing his vault makes me wanne finally answer to that radio signal

[@Sgtspork]

Hahaha.. funny thing... I was just playing around with Vault 88 and had youtube vids on in the background and a few of your vids were on in the background but not specifically on purpose, they were just in a long "watch later" playlist, not specifically because I was in vault 88.. I was installing a ceiling light above my overseers desk, one from a mod, a small double fluorescent where the description says to disable surface snap.. and I do have the place anywhere mod installed but totally forgot the key to toggle it on and off.. well, just at that moment, about 8 min into this very vid, you do exactly that and state hit F2 to disable surface snapping if you have place anywhere installed... I actually thanked you out loud sir.. exactly what I needed to know, right at the exact moment I needed to know it... haha, totally at random... I'm gonna go buy a few lottery tickets I think... such a perfect timing... THANK YOU, lol!! so Awesome!!! I so hope you see this comment and get a kick out of it... and THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO.. you've been a big help with your ideas and vids... really appreciate your work my friend. cheers to you!

[@AWESOME2715]

I found that the Overseer Room pieces had gaps between the vinyl wall and the real one, so I usually lay out all the walls separately, put a standard ceiling bulb in the dead spaces, and THEN assemble the overseer room. It makes for REALLY nice lighting.

[@BananaRama76]

I'm building my vault like a hotel and I've been trying to figure this out for so freaking long! Like literally days!

[@BananaRama76]

1 year later: my first vault turned out great, but I'm doing a new playthrough with a few mods and making it my resources hub for my settlements!

[@leopoldooliver3484]

I built a wall at the entrance and was able to attach a vault conduit and lights to it.

[@japexican007]

Show us!!!

[@Grumpydrawer]

That's my only problem with the new vault lights, their radius is far to small. I like their clinical like light myself. I used the green wall lights in my nuclear reactor room to make it look like the reactor was emmiting a green glow...which looks cool via the windows but a mess when you're in the reactor room haha.

[@meh855]

What is wrong with people, your channel deserves _at least_ 500.000 subs. Great video & keep up with the great, amazing work! :D

[@skerple94]

I would like to see a way to light the sloped atrium ceiling.

[@TheDolphinTuna]

I found that you can remove fluorescent lights from vault ceilings by noclipping right into the light's model. Super useful.

[@alexbennett7085]

those cage fluorescent ceiling lights can be put up in the ceiling, light well, blend in, and are hardly visible. Not to mention that they can be put up above the two blue pipes in the hallways without mods.

[@pgwchaos]

You can go through the wall, you just need to attach a conduit pipe and conduit pylon to the Conduit Wall Pass-Through. Then you can hold down the "Select" button to grab the Conduit Wall Pass-Through with the objects attached to it.

[@MrPoogly]

The vault power conduit oversight was one of the major oversights for the front entrance.

[@stephenloughery5367]

on the tall wall lighting, I may have put in walkways above the rectangle lights, with an occasional platform viewing area, perhaps ivy on the walkways. Good work.

[@damian3182]

Regarding floating vault lights. After placing one, select it again and move it slightly. It should then snap to the ceiling just fine. I've only tested this with the large ceiling light.

[@bigbugjpeg]

[@HorizonsleatherBlogspot2012]

Ox, you remind me of a buddy from LOTRO on the Imladris server long ago. I like your videos on Fallout 4, I learn something cool every time. Thanks. :)

[@AlexLuthore]

With the conduit at the beginning, you need to use several long pieces and attach them to the wall pass through. Then carpet glitch that into the reactor room through 3-4 build block spaces. Once done you can tap into the conduit on the vault entrance side and get power from there. Also with your settler pathing issue I think the pathing breakdown after a certain distance. If the beds are super far away from the stations they don't know how to get there. So in large vault and settlements you need to assign settlers to beds near where they will work. This solved my pathing issues and basically created several residential "hubs". Like in real life settlers don't want to commute to work

[@darrengallacher271]

Oxhorn - I feel I've found a great use for the atrim pieces... Pick a settlement outside with a good view (most have great views to be fair!) ... then use the tallest atrim piece with the curve on the ceiling with 2 floors... build the rest of the room, and use the curve atrim roof across the width. Then - and this is what I think looks great - use the warehouse glass sections (half-height) on top of each other right to the roof of the curved piece at the end. This results in having a 3 storey window overlooking whatever amazing view you wish. I've used this on an elevated vault (which is 3 storeys high to start with) so the view from the top is x6 stroeys up and it just looks incredible. If you're on PS4 - I'll send you a screenshot ... it looks great!

[@oxhorn]

That's a great idea!

[@AnuarK94]

Hey Oxhorn, I've been building a wall that's similar, with the high roof in its atrium and all. I thought of having like a fountain there too! It looks awesome. I noticed that you mentioned that the lights that come with the vault can't be scrapped. However, I was able to scrap them all. The trick is to get close enough to them and point to the light bulbs or the disks and theb the yellow contour will show up. If you point to the light wires, you won't be able to scrap them.

[@mister_carrot8428]

Loving these videos and watching your vault take shape, it looks like it is going to be huge when it is done! on a side note, if it is possible, when your vault is done you should do up a map of all the areas. I think that would be pretty cool :)

[@More2Me4Life]

[@Brakathor]

I'm assuming he used mods to delete part of the rocks for the reactor section? God I'd love to make that area finished and useful in a similar way, but I just can't seem to find a way to full it off after laying down the initial wide halls in the first room like he has.

[@thaylogpaine7074]

I used the long straight pieces making one large straight pipes then "select all" attached and turn it to the wall and pushed it all the way through to the Vault entrance room. Using the no collision helps but with out it just make it super long then take off the pieces you don't need.

[@bluegames1]

Anyone know a mod to fix that settlers wont be teleportet on top of the ceiling of the vault? would be grateful :c

[@WastelandProject]

Problem with the corridors with sloping stairs, is not possible attack of the electrical conduit, if you combine 2-3, lights not work..

[@elijahbennett88]

Not sure if anyone's noticed this but if you put an "Atrium - Ceiling and Floor" panel on top of rooms, like clinic, overseer, etc - the base of the vault themed lights naturally snap flush to the ceiling (no mod needed) - although there is a barely noticeable z-fighting glitch along the seem - but then this is a Bethesda game so it's par for the course really.

[@circumquentiam]

I have two super reactors powering my vault. There will never be enough power for all of my soda machines!

[@emiliodeguarda2005]

Take measurements for conduits. Assemble in unsuitable area. Return with entire assembly. Pass through makes everything clip through wall. No wires required. Royal pain if you have OCD tendencies.

[@extralyfe]

@8:00 "you would never place a light on a hatch you can close and open" I would if there were three identical hatches within a foot of that one

[@SorenEzio]

You know it may be possible to create a mod that will increase the overall ambient light level and allow you to reduce the quantity of objects you have (like the wires and those tall lamps).

[@tomj9961]

Ok, didn’t see in comments: In the vestibule simply move the lockers to wall on the left, build atrium wall in the former locker space, then apply connector. Worked for me.....

[@PyranoTheDev]

I usually don't use the lights that come with Vault Tec Workshop and prefer to use the smaller wall lights that look better in the vault in my opinion.

[@CuppaLLX]

you know you could just send a conduit though a pipe use the pass through with the continute facing the reactor, then connect a pipe to it, basically turn your passthrough 180 degrees

[@brycee.maryott8802]

At 4:30 So, I managed to get the "through the wall" conduit to work legally without mods. Starting OUTSIDE the room, you grab it by the center section and put that part down on the ground on the right hand side, angled through the wall by about 30-45 degrees. Then you go inside the room and use an identical piece to connect through the remainder of the wall. It doesn't clip the door, but it's kind of ugly.

[@Krimsorn]

you can run old school wires above the vault as well

[@YoshMyster]

I don't know what everyone is talking about I sent the rectangle vault lights straight up to the top of inside of the atrium and click and they light up. I didn't have to use any conduits at all near the ceiling.

[@louichalmers7050]

The way i dont it for the entrance was i used the tcl command to go outside of the map and route the cables and conduits outside of the reactor room into the side of the vault entrance room, saves all the wires hanging

[@ianprettymuchme]

no, the room have to be connected to the main door that leads to the generator or a new generator for the vault power to work

[@realAmoregis]

for building on the ceilling u also could have used consolecommands ("tlc") for a "no clip" mode so u dont have to move the floor

[@bulldog2307]

Thanks for the information Bro!

[@tomsko100]

Good tip to everyone; like a decent race car, your power armour is clearly the envy among your settlers, besides that clunky pip-boy. I parked the Vim armour at Longfellows cabin, and when I returned, I found it gone.......until I saw it walking around a corner with a settler in it! Now, even if nobody's in it, I can't enter it anymore. An obvious glitch, but if you treasure you big hunk of armour, park it a place your stealing settlers never go :)

[@soangry]

protip: remove the fusion core when leaving your power armor.

[@mewmew34]

I can't for the life of me figure out why so many people still don't understand not to leave fusion cores in their armor.

[@tomsko100]

Why should I? Every armour I have is displayed on the second floor of a building I made, behind a door I locked with a door to a terminal. Don't see any reason at all to do a "check list" after leaving it.....

[@mewmew34]

If you don't want settlers or enemies taking your power armor, take out the fusion cores. That simple. Doesn't matter what kind of security you think you have, settlers and enemies can glitch through walls. If they teleport into the room with the armor, they will take it if it's powered with a core.

[@tomsko100]

No, they won't. Have a pet deathclaw armed with fusion cores he throws on them if they get near my armour. Trained him myself

[@Anonarchist]

you can run the wall passthrough in the generator room but its a pain in the ass, basically only one dot on the wall where you can connect wire and conduit, but it works... better with clipping off

[@Worldowner]
