Struggling with clipping logic and asking myself "why do I like this game?" is the most relatable thing I've seen in a long time. Great build, I loved watching this!

[@Pancake_Nix]

Yea, it definitely shows that they originally didn't even intend to make settlement building an actual thing. Did you know tho' that you can make objects touch a doormat or other types of rugs and then you can hold E to move the entire thing together with the doormat. It makes it much easier to fit in things that normally don't wanna clip together or are generally being a pain to put on the spot you want.

[@SesshisGirl]

You popped up as a recommended video. This has been so relaxing to watching and listen while I'm at work and you've also given me inspiration on how to go about touching up my settlements and making them actually feel homey and not just plop a store here, food and turrets. Thank you! Keep this up!

[@burningsails]

I actually love this, it reminds me of how I used to build homes in the sims games, but doing it in fallout 4 just adds a whole new feel, turning the wasteland into something beautiful again is so cool

[@skeletonking2253]

After so many mitten squad videos (rip) and nerbit challenge runs it’s nice to just sit back from time to time and build a settlement that desperately needed it

[@thomaswedge42]

At 1:12:00 A tip with mixing Scaffolding is that the scaffolding floors will snap to small floor pieces from other sets (either 1x1 or 1x2) pieces found in the concrete, barn or warehouse floor sets however they do not snap to the full size floor pieces so you sometimes need to snap a small floor alongside to then be able to place a scaffolding floor in line with a large floor piece.

[@anthonyfascione3554]

This was so relaxing. I could watch you build settlements and get lost in the immersion all day.

My only complaint is that your channel is new and I can’t binge on it for months! Can’t wait to see many more videos from you 😊

[@OptimusGnarkill]

I’m a huge fan of FO4 settlement builds and man it is difficult to find them these days that aren’t years old. You randomly popped up and it was an insta-sub for me. Will be binging your builds for sure keep it up! Also, if you’re ever looking for inspiration or tips: Sar Deliac has some amazing pure vanilla no mod settlement building videos and techniques. I don’t think he builds much anymore, but he was one of the best.

[@yucknomegusta]

I don’t have a lot of time to watch your videos, but when I do it’s for background because I love the sound of your voice. Or watching them before I sleep. It’s comforting. My only issue is that I feel guilty for not actually sitting down to watch this uninterrupted, because I’m always losing my place and waking up to a Sims video or something. It’s a never ending cycle. 😂

How has this channel never popped up on my recommended before?! Absolute treat to watch you play. There is such a simplicity to watch someone just express there creativity. Will definitely be subscribing. Also this has inspired me to make my oberland station

My hometown of Waltham is basically where Oberland is located (I don't know where that name came from), so seeing people build here is always nice. You knocked it out of the park. Super immersive, great layout, and functional. Kudos!

Love this build! Even after 1000 hours I still like to mix it up: go adventuring a bit, just to get resources and skill points, lol, and then return and build. I go slowly without regard to Preston. I build out one after another in the Northwest and gradually expand. Oberland and Taffington are my first two where I break out of that core area. Your build video was enjoyable and relaxing. Thanks for sharing, and I hope you do more!

[@mrJMD]

I'm about 2 days into my very first play through and I'm doing the same. I have Sanctuary, Ten Pines, Oberland and Sunshine Tidings going right now and watching these videos has really inspired me. I've messed around with the building a little bit but it honestly seemed intimidating because it doesn't always feel very intuitive. Now I can really see how things work. Once I get my first four settlements squared away I'll start going one at a time. Loving this game and these videos are great!

[@XtremOpus]

This settlement is very special, although it has very little space, it attracts many settlers and they will almost always complain about lack of beds.From the beginning I have built several buildings with beds so that they would be happy, I love those characters very much.

[@CastorQuinn]

I love that you're playing without mods. I tried very hard to do that recently and Oberland is the exact point that I gave up. The clipping there is so inexplicably frustrating that I was resorting to rug-tricking everything into place so I just bit the bullet and threw in a place anywhere mod. Entirely because of Oberland. Your persistence is very impressive, and the result was worth all the frustration.

I love how you build! It feels immersive. After i have been playing fallout 76 all these years, its way too hard for me to go back and build in 4 just because of the build menu set up but i still love watching others build. It helps to give my own creativity a stir.

[@Wondering_Ghoul]

Given the name, I would think tato plants are a cross between potatoes and tomatoes. However, I think plants need to be in the same family. Tomatoes are nightshades, so maybe they're a cross between like eggplants and tomatoes? Mutfruit could be any combo of stone fruit. Maybe plums and something else...idk. I say Mute Fruit. After reading some lore: indeed they are a cross between potatoes and tomatoes. Both of which are extinct in the setting of FO4. Further edit: According to the Fandom Wiki it is pronounced Mute Fruit. Because it's a mutated fruit.

[@Pancake_Nix]

Canonically they are indeed a result of cross-pollination between tomatoes and potatoes. And if you ever ask yourself "How is that possible?" in a Fallout universe, the answer is - as always - cos RADs! xd

Lovely build, I'll be going to watch your others next. I salute your patience with the clipping. If you decide to put some mods on I use "Place Everywhere" to get around it and it works great. Also recommend "Snappable Junk Fences" for building with.

@@WebShaman01 I use the "Spring Cleaning" mod. I have ran the game for hundreds of hours with several dozen other mods and I didn't have any crashing issues. The only problem with Spring Cleaning is that it makes some natural floors unusable; like the floor in the "guard tower" in Oberland for example can't be placed on. Otherwise it is great! You can get rid of pretty much everything.

[@WebShaman01]

@@Pancake_Nix It "breaks" how the cell spawns things, which leads eventually to cell corruption, and then the save(s). Especially noticeable on PS4/5, but it can happen to PC as well. It's a well documented occurence. As I have thousands of hours on both PC and PS4/5, I can assure you that it will eventually bork your game.

I love your design. Definitely fallout chic. There are a few tips and tricks you might find useful in building without mods. I highly recommend the KZbin channel Skooled Zone for his No Mods Shop Class series. Lots of good stuff there. One quick tip I find useful is understanding the selection priority with group select. Group select prioritizes best on the last item you individually selected. So, if you want to move a structure, select a foundation, then deselect it, then group select and the entire structure will place based on that foundation. I hope this tip helps. Keep up the great work!

[@charlessmith2963]

Something to try that I tried and fell in love with is using the wire fence with picket fence posts.

[@newbtechhelp]

This is so awesome. Fallout has shown me have zero stills when it comes to structural design. So nice to get some ideas.

[@sethtowell88]

I love the way you build your settlements, it reminds me of my own style, since the main character is from before the war I always tried to give my settlers the thing my character had. Like power in every house, or running water, stuff like that.

So i enjoyed the creativity and watching you build. Building in this game is one of my favorite parts, but sometimes i lack the creativity. I did enjoy your comment when you were having issues stating, "why do i like this game again?" I say that to myself all the time. There are tons of creators who show you how to use Bathesda's system to your advantage to create without mods. I love mods and all, but I hate having to rely on them. One of my favorite builders is Skooled Zone. His building abilities to work with the system provided in settlements is amazing. Combine the no mods building with your creativity it would bring you to a whole new level. Thanks for the build ideas.

[@ChocolateFishBrains]

My favorite thing to add to this settlement is some boxcars and repurpose them into small homes, and even make one into a little office space for a Minuteman who stays on watch and operates artillery. I keep the settlement rather small, with only 5 settlers at most.

Great build! I never know what to do with Oberland Station. And I agree, the post-apocalyptic world needs crafters! But you do what you have to do until you have relative security and other basic needs met (e.g. Diamond City), and then the crafter can thrive.

[@grantreed1873]

FYI, if you snap a single 1x1 piece from basic or warehouse or farm to the concrete piece from.the warehouse or farm, you can snap a single scaffolding piece to it, then the ramp will snap to the scaffolding piece. In addition, you can then remove the scaffolding piece, leaving the ramp behind. Also, the bar piece you use is about the right height for the bar stools.

You might know this already but on PC F1 toggles snapping and F2 toggles ground snapping so you can sink things into the ground.

[@GrandArchPriestOfTheAlgorithm]

In my game, it's a tiny fortress built to protect Greygarden.

[@stubpadoka]

I've found that a good way to free up a bunch of space is by taking those spread out rows of tato plants and consolidating them into about 1/3 of the space they take up when you get there. You also save on resources because you can scrap more of the old fence and build less of the new one.
