Settlements and Survival - Spectacle Island - A Dual-Doctor Dwelling

[@TheRealChacorta]

21:00 Perhaps the shipping containers and Megaloader were placed there before the building was finished

[@CowBoyHatGaMing]

Great stream I learn so much an interpret your techniques into mind

[@tomaszurita6875]

YES! another S+S video. Love this series man. I just started a new survival character oriented to settlement building and I've drawing a lot of inspiration and tips from here tbh. Love your channel too, dude. Keep the videos coming.

[@SarDeliac]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the show and that it's useful for you. :)

[@benjaminschimpf421]

This place is coming out so nicely. I love this series. It's really gonna come 2 life when u sprinkle in all ur little touches. This one is really gonna b a cut above the rest

[@Mysmi]

Rookie move, bro. Save your game :) even with survival, it’s worth it!

[@SarDeliac]

Oh hush, you. :P haha Wanna know the worst part? I've got the Survival Options mod which gives me an item that allows me to save anywhere, any time, as much as I want... and I forgot I had it. /sigh

[@Mysmi]

Oh that’s alright! You live, you learn. This place is turning into a nice little secluded village. Feels like a homesteaders vibe to me :) keep up the great work!

[@kjellbjorge5271]

6:44 I had the same thing happen to me on my XB1. I also thought about if I needed more memory I should get an external hard drive so I bought one that has 4 TB of memory. So , now I should have plenty of memory. As always thank you for the Great tips SarDeiliac. I'm looking forward to see what comes next. Take care and have a great day

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks! And yeah I've got plenty of memory myself--1.5 TB total with the SSD--but the game only uses 2 gigs no matter what you do. Seems odd but there it is. :/

[@UncleTwoTimez]

@@SarDeliac Its also sometimes a sign your save file is corrupted.

[@bensplash07]

Great addition to the realism of survival. I haven’t even made it to Diamond City in my game. I keep building up Sanctuary (market), Abernathy (farming community) and Red Rocket (player home/base of operations)

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks! I've done the same thing almost exactly my the immersive gameplay setup; Sanc's the fortified village/market, Abernathy's a straight farm, and RR is the depot. And there's no rush to get to DC, for sure. Long as you got Carla visiting, you have all the supplies you'll ever need. ;)

[@bensplash07]

SarDeliac very nice! I learned the importance of Carla as a supplier from your videos!

[@loco4pack]

Oh how many times, have I made the same mistake. It really makes you feel like a newb when you don't save before trying to put together two sections like that. Nicely done though, it fits in with the rest of the settlement quite well.

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks, loco, and yeah, lesson learned. I get so used to saving only when I have to in survival that it literally doesn't occur to me. :/

[@fishfearme6606]

Strategy for the gunner at the plaza: Go at night. If u can get a recon scope, mark the one on the roof that has the fat man and the one w the missile launcher. Get in a good position and take the fatman out first, then the other guy. Back off and let things cool down, there are no other gunners up there to take those dropped weapons and use them on you. Go around the back ( sw side) and take out the one that walks along the rear end of the sleeping/storage room.creep the stairs and take out the one that walks the edge of the rooftop on the s side. take elevator all the way down and hit a stealth boy as soon as the door opens and go right. watch for landmines. Pick them up and throw them back down again, go r again into the hallway and up the stairs. Keep lookout for landmines and re set them. take out the lone gunner that walks the hallway w a knife( its silent), then proceed to fuck the rest of them up. They will come and set off all the landmines you re set. SO STAY CLEAR. As for the main building its a creep and stalk thing especially as you come around to the back stairwells cuz that area is loaded with gunners and at least one will be a heavy, so take him out as fast as possible. Did this with a suppressed .50, a combat knife and the deliverer as well as 8 stealth boys in IG survival.

[@SarDeliac]

This is almost exactly what I did. Went up by the boxcars, killed the ghouls, took out the two by the sleeping room, took out the roof guys, blew away the three in front and the turrets, grabbed all their crap, and saved in the sleeping room. Went in the back door on the top where Cruz is, killed him and all his friends on the second floor, saved. Went back in the second floor, killed the three in the lobby over the side of the railings (left the turrets), then went down the second floor hallway killing the turret and the five in the back stairwell--the hallway makes a great shooting gallery. Saved and went back in the second floor, hopped over the balcony, hacked the lobby turrets, grabbed all the mines, carpeted the next hallway with 'em, lured the assaultron out and blew her up, saved. After that, clearing Captain Wes and the last room was cake. Didn't use anything but the .50 and my jacked-up RA. Came out with 20+ full suits of combat armor, two Fat Men, four missile launchers, a gatling laser, and two miniguns haha :D

[@fishfearme6606]

Damn shame it doesn't respawn though... That place is a gold mine for technical documents as well. So later on after you meet Proctor Quinlan you may wanna go back there again.

[@SarDeliac]

Already have; the vertibird was handy for hauling all that crap back to JP. Got 21 docs out of it which was nice. :)

[@DawgBreff]

It is an interestingly shaped build, good choice, perfectly executed as usual... Erm, bit of a hint for you if you didn't already know; if you change the colour of your PipBoy text to bright white, it changes the PipLight to the same, so your torch light gives a much crisper illumination... Also, thanks for dropping a compulsion on me to go stare into a ghoul's eyes..!

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks! Yeah, I played with the PB light color a lot when I first started, and that orangey-yellow is my favorite breakpoint between "pip boy screen menu readability" (bright white is _really_ bright to me) and "illumination provided by the light." Also, that particular color makes small objects (like single caps, single bullets, and subway tokens) really pop out for me when I'm looting in the dark. Not sure why... maybe I'm kind of color blind? And go ahead and stare; if you're lucky he'll come back with, "Whatchoo admirin, the clothes or the man?" :D

[@riddarhyttan]

Great stuff as usual, love this series. Save derps notwithstanding, it kinda adds to the flavor ;) Rotten luck with the IG mission in Gunner's Plaza, really wish there was a sanity check on the radiant quests. (I quite like Scribe Haylen given her doubts about the BoS and tend to avoid running into her after I've become their enemy. After she sent two of my survival characters on outright suicide missions though, I'm harboring a bit of a grudge...)

[@SarDeliac]

Oddly enough I did GNN last night. Took two hours but I didn't die or even get seriously injured. The trick to it is to abuse the usable beds on the back of the roof and do it in small phases. For instance, phase one was clear the guys off the roof and out of the front, gather all their crap, dump it in the footlocker, save. Then I went in the door on the second floor where Cruz is--killed him, everybody up top, and the straggler in the library. Left, gathered their crap, footlocker, save. Then I peeked over the balcony and took out everyone in the lobby, the turret down the second-floor hallway, and the five guys in the next room (the one in the back with the dual stairways), footlocker, save. Lather, rinse, repeat. It was really fun, I gotta admit--being methodical and patient pays big dividends. ;)

[@monsterbarbell8306]

Because of your fastidiousness I had to create lore as to how stuff got into my underground city!! Hopefully it pleases you! Nearly finished it all now ;)

[@SarDeliac]

Excellent. :) And can't wait to see it... this is the 88 build, yes?

[@monsterbarbell8306]

SarDeliac yes sir. Dont think you've seen it since it had the 1 large building in the centre. Much changed since then!

[@nikkup4745]

I have a pc and it won't let me delete any saves for good. I'm guessing that I need to go online to do that.

[@chasedwards3874]

Maybe we could get a thousand sub special? Maybe a really big build or a QnA? Dunno. Loved the video though! Thanks for being inspiring!

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks for checking out the videos! For the 1k sub thing people voted for a settlement they wanted to see me build at, and I've been working my way through the ranked list. That's where the Somerville (for this series) and Murkwater (for Moribund World) builds came from, and it's why I'm at Spectacle Island with this one now. Also have a Coastal Cottage going for the megabuild but I haven't been back to that one in a bit.

[@murderycatdoll1380]

Oh that Issue with the saves i have too! What i do, i EXIT (than there will be an exit save), go to Storage....and go back and everything works again! I don't have to delete anything like i did before... But ok that's on PS4. I freaked out the first time that happend XD And now: Wuhuuu again my long awaited SarDeliac Video

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks. :) Only one or two more to go for this one, I think. Gonna be weird to see a whole settlement built out of mostly Bethesda houses haha

[@murderycatdoll1380]

But you pimped them to SarDeliac's xD

[@Daunais819]

Hey Sar! Always a pleasure, been waiting for this! Hey did you notice that in the immersion mod, settlers with weapons need more than 1 bullet? Maybe its just me but it seems like it. Ps- i agreed with 1 of the comments saying you should do a huge 1k subs build haha ;) take care and keep em coming!

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks! And yep, NPCs using ammo up is one of the things I noticed right away. Thankfully they're not crazy about using it up--they spend a lot more time ducking and peeking out of cover than actually shooting. The most common type of ammo that I've seen is the 7.62x51mm (you'll be drowning in it soon enough, if you aren't already), so it's easy to just give them all the max capacity machine guns that every other enemy seems to have. :) Giving them 100 rounds of whatever they use (500 for miniguns) is plenty.

[@festaawsome6297]

Love it man another great addition to that settlement

[@SarDeliac]

Thank you! :)

[@benjaminschimpf421]

That looks so frickin good dude. Awesome.

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks! :)

[@johnboy78]

I have that save game problem on my PS4... I didn't get that problem until the Creation Club went live. Oxhorn did a review of the Creation Club workshop thing.

[@SarDeliac]

Perfect. Thank you!

[@denster77]

Hey Sar, I bought that new decoration pack today from the Creation Club. The items are nice, they aren't pristine, so you might like some of them. I really liked the new rugs, they were interesting and the new beds and bunk beds. They added some cool new pictures too. I would be more than happy to do a review for you if you want. My channel has seriously gone downhill ever since my last Creation Club video so what's the harm now? lol. Anyways, good build. I build this one from bunker hill before but I did it differently. Its always a fun challenge. Hope all is well, take care.

[@SarDeliac]

Thanks Denise! I saw a couple of inventory-style reviews of it, and while some of it is neat I probably wouldn't use most of it. Shame they didn't make it possible for two settlers to use the bunk beds. I did like the way they made plants and rugs generate Happiness, though. :)

[@denster77]

the plants are cute looking for sure, in fact, they might be more your style than just the regular old potted plants. but if you are using a place anywhere type of mod you can make them yourself. some of the rugs looked like they had some stains on them, I guess maybe trying to make them look old. and the refridgerators were old and scuffed up. I guess if you are doing builds with absolutely no traditional mods, then these items would be handy indeed. Of course you know I always love new decoration stuff, hehe. :)

[@benjaminschimpf421]

Hey Sar, I was building a bridge the other day. Kinda a mix of a truss bridge and suspension bridge n I triangulated the s*** out of it n I had a mod idea. I have this bridge but there's no fasteners. No bolts, no steel flanges or angle iron or braces or nothin'. Just wood magically glued together I guess. So I was wondering if u know the right ppl, how about a mod of greebles n things that would make things more structurally sound looking. Idk... Just spitballin' I guesd

[@SarDeliac]

I am _almost_ positive CVA has greebles in it; I vaguely recall maybe seeing them in there? I can't imagine there isn't a mod somewhere that has things like this, but I dunno what it could be. Hopefully someone sees your post and will know for sure.

[@benjaminschimpf421]

I'm really surprised u didn't make a save before u attempted to marry them together. But great job all the same Sar!

[@SarDeliac]

I just don't think about it. :)

[@zzzeouz83]

sar like to ask u, u knw abt the settler work well with automatic weap and they only need 1 ammo for it to work right. how about junk jet , missile laucher and fat man do they work with 1 ammo as well i feel like give 1 of my guards a junk jet for the meme :P\

[@SarDeliac]

I don't know about the JJ, but I do know missiles and mini nukes aren't infinite like bullets are; they'll use that ammo up.

[@zzzeouz83]

Erm Sar I knw u love the Bos more and your survival map planning is good but tat setup is more suited for non MM , but since I choose MM I have a problem as u knw Preston and Co is at sanctuary so there alot of attack up north, so do u have any advice I can bypass this troublesome without not help Preston and Co. I have a idea to counter this but I think it stupid , as it involves me just staying up north till I'm lvl 50 .

[@SarDeliac]

If it were me, I'd connect Sanctuary to the provisioner network, empty the workbench and put the contents somewhere convenient (or with a zero population), give them enough crops and turrets to keep them happy, and then leave forever. If there's nothing in the workbench you care about, losing an attack doesn't matter, and any damage done will repair itself in a game week or so. If they get unhappy it doesn't matter since it's impossible to lose Sanctuary as a settlement.

[@zzzeouz83]

SarDeliac so what u mean Sar is just grab all the shit tat i place in sanctuary and move it to 1 of the unmanned settlement, since food won't be store in unless I grab them and store it in the workshop and purified water is only 4 per day if I use your old method of just 3 well per settlement the attack will be small even if they do come plus if I have 200 def I win 99%of the time

[@SarDeliac]

Exactly. :)

[@KishinZephrite]

Nice build, man. Keep it up. I saw your comment on MonsterBarbell's Sanctuary video. I made an new update for my Sanctuary build. I was wondering what kind of opinion you have of it.

[@SarDeliac]

Just checked it out. Looks good. Lotta concrete, wow. ;) I like the "park" in the center of the roundabout a lot--makes perfect sense and the execution was excellent. Might want to think about keeping an eye out for repeating textures (the metal walls on one of the buildings and the railings on the balconies, for example); when things are too "same-y" it can be kinda distracting, unless that's the effect you're going for. Also, it might not hurt to add more supports to things like the elevated walkways and the interiors of some of the larger buildings... when stuff is "floating" it can look kinda strange, y'know? It's a really solid build for sure, and nicely intricate and "busy-feeling." Mama Murphy with a hard hat was hilarious for some reason haha :)

[@KishinZephrite]

Thanks for the suggestions. If you consider that this one build serves as I like a hurdle on a giant elevated track, it's ultimately for that effect. I did try to use a variety of textures throughout, but good call, there's spots I can improve on. I was going to improve this build by elevating the smaller portion of this building and adding a walkway. Good call. Most or all of the floating exteriors in the distance are from other builds not fully appeared and rendered in. Anyways, I appreciate the feedback.

[@benjaminschimpf421]

Haha spoke too soon! I never learn!

[@BKPrice]

If you haven't found it yet, Oxhorn has reviewed the new CC update here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ3MeWOio8epo68

[@SarDeliac]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@codya.k.a.nlnjacr1tt3r]

@sardeliac. Oxhorn is putting up a video on CC update sometime today so check his channel.

[@SarDeliac]

Excellent. Thanks for the heads-up. :)

[@codya.k.a.nlnjacr1tt3r]

SarDeliac no problem

[@alfieglen2837]

How regularly do you do these ?

[@SarDeliac]

I shoot for one a week, time permitting; there are times when I can update more frequently but in general it's one a week.

[@MrJonboy1236]

wish i had the proper time to do something like this but work women and children allways demanding my attention apparently putting them in cages is frowned up on dam pc culture

[@SarDeliac]

I'm fairly sure there are a bunch of people who do "ten minute build"-type videos around here... I vaguely recall G4XP being one of them. If you're time limited, it might be worth checking 'em out to see if they'd be useful for you. :)

[@MrJonboy1236]

SarDeliac cheers i'll have a look. ill still watch your vids tho helps me unwind before i turn in for the night
