Absolutely my first go to for everything. I'd love to watch all these lessons from the first to the last, sequentially at once. Well, not ALL at once...lol. Gotta have time to build myself!

[@jenniferanderson7010]

I know this vid is over three years old, but I've been watching this series for a minute now. Love it. I finally moved beyond the square box and sleeping bag builds a couple of months ago because of you, Draco, Norespawns, and Sardeliac. I'm nowhere near y'all in levels, though. I love the building even if I am terrible at it. I might restart my character...again...just to redo stuff because I have way too much to correct at some of my outposts in the game.

[@rrosefam]

Loved your comment about square box and sleeping bag builds. It's SO RELATABLE😆 Your whole comment was relatable, and I've got a few settlements that are completely off the rails in terms of size to chaos ratio. I'm still working through my sb/sb phase. Not quite there yet, but your comment made me feel not so alone or dumb lol. And thanks for the references to other KZbin who helped! I need all the help I can get, cuz I suck at this, but I also love it and can't stop trying anyway.

I'm soooo late to the game here, but your videos are too good not to say thank you. Your videos are STILL helping noobs like me 4 years down the road. You're breaking my brain (in a GOOD way) and you are probably the top reason I'm still playing, still trying, and loving it. I'll be real with you tho... sometimes I still wanna tear my hair out and take a nuka nuke launcher to everything I just tried to build, but your videos help me work through that urge and see where I missed the mark so I can try again and do better next time. And who knows, maybe one day I'll graduate from square boxes and sleeping bags to square boxes with TWO whole floors AND lighting AND maybe even some decorations. It really helps that you break down the reasons these things work so I can apply them more effectively rather than just attempting to copy what you're doing and crossing my fingers while hoping for the best. Sorry so long. I hate posting thoughts on the internet, so I put a bunch of comments into one and just hope that one day you'll see it and feel proud and encouraged about what you've created here. A nerdy gamer mom thanks you.

[@SkooledZone]

Well put. And it's never too late with this game because of the building element. Makes it an unlimited legacy game. And thanks for the kind comments. Yes, my videos are precisely intended to end the frustration. Bethesda added the building element as a last minute bonus not realizing it would be so popular. So there are a lot of things they can improve upon in the next game. Cheers!

[@nerdoutreachprogram5358]

Still the best fallout 4 content on KZbin. I started replaying the game when I got the series X (which you can run in 60fps on the console without mods enabled) so I gotta refresh my building skills memory.

[@potato4life859]

i did the rug glitch not long ago at the nuka world red rocket. I put in a brahmin feeding trough in mid air and whenever you looked at the brahmin it would fall down . When it fell 3 times it would die creating meat for my settlers it was really quite genious of me

I have been playing Fallout 4 since its inception and have really struggled with settlement building. Pretty much do the minimum just to keep playing. Players like the The Skooled Zone are awesome to tech us old dogs new tricks. I know that this is not a new trick, but it is for me... :) Thank you

[@Bassynater2500]

What a wonderful guide and playlist of videos detailing ways to have fun with settlement building! In normal playthroughs I almost avoid building entirely. I’m in a survival mode run and I found a deeper understanding and appreciation of settlements in the game and here I am, diving down the rabbit hole of great ways to spruce up a settlement. Thank you for such fun and positive videos sharing this info!

[@menacer5879]

Paul, this video series is the best. I'm still learning neat facts and getting better at the game at the same time. Keep it up!!

That's awesome Steve!

[@FeltIntuition]

Dude your descriptions are wonderful. Thanks for your dedication to this community.

[@DarthVadersHeart]

Just found this series and it is giving me a new inspiration to play FO4. One thing you may or may not know is on PC we have access to console commands, pressing the "Tilde" key ~ opens a menu, in which we can tell the game what we want. The reason I mention this is because with it we can actually turn off clipping altogether using the code "tcl" then enter it again to turn it back on. The biggest draw back of using this is it also turn off collision for your character and you can walk through walls or even the ground itself, although it is useful for not needing the "rug glitch", the rug "Glitch" seems to be more efficient.

[@guylee0]

This is absolutely the best video on this technique. Truly exceptional work on the skooled zone channel.

[@Sventraintheoriginal]

Went back to fallout 4 to finish other endings and replay the game. I forgot how frustrating building can be so I'g grateful you still make videos, my building is way better than before.

[@epherium8177]

" Those pesky vending machines, *Cue Flashbacks*

[@DJ_Bonebraker]

Even though I do build with mods, I am happy that you post these videos, because even mods can be kinda glitchy & need to use vanilla glitches/exploits to get them to work properly, lol.

[@pinkotter2]

I always try to use this, but when I do I tend to have a hard time getting it to work. The junk fences, getting them to line up without holes between them is a challenge. I would like to see you do it in the next video.

[@SkooledZone]

It's pretty easy to do with the rug glitch _unless_ you're on uneven ground. For that, stay tuned for my deep dive into the pillar glitch video coming soon. :)

[@amilitarymind]

Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this series. I'm really enjoying it.

[@GarrisonFall]

I'm rather late into PC games - a recently retired dinosaur with a lot of catching up to do. Your 'lessons' are at the very top of the Instructional Genre for quality; planned, prepared, clear, succinct, enjoyable and, most importantly, informative. The explanation of the science behind the game graphics was most useful - the 'why' as well as the 'how'; if you haven't been trained as an educator, you are a natural teacher. I know Fallout 4 is years old now; maybe your won't even see this comment, but regardless, I have to say "well done"! I'll be looking at many more of your lessons. Thanks.

[@kyliepoe6231]

Very excited for the more advanced videos, but as you say there is sometimes a new morsel of info for everyone. Great series.

[@camwale]

This normally isn't a problem with mods enabled, but when I'm playing this game without, I always do this glitch. Thanks Paul :D

[@falloutguy4283]

Thanks for these videos, cause that's how I am learning about settlement builds. My platform is ps4 and the glitches don't always work.

[@GrayBoeuf]

Thank you for all your help. Your videos are the most concise and adjective tutorials for Fallout 4. Picked up the game again after playing at launch and you've helped to expand the experience into something new and really fun. Thanks for all your help and inspiration for building!

[@Grizly_Atoms]

Newest fan, seen a few and decided to start from the beginning. i created a new game to utilize "glitches" my first glitch is the neverending junk supply, that i seen elsewhere. after 2days and 8 hours of gameplay, im level 273. Ive accomplished very little other than making 10s of thousands of plasma grenades and maximizing my perk chart. before i venture in to the wasteland, i will be building the Sanctuary into a fortress using your methods. its a lot of fun now being able to break the physics. thanks!

[@jaychewinonmetal2912]

I'm glad you showed this. I learned of the rug glitch from a video a while back, but I don't think that I was doing it correctly the first time. Now I know the correct way and this will help me in the future. Thank you!

[@SkooledZone]

Awesome!

[@StormAlterWorlds]

I'm a longtime builder, but I've literally never used any videos to help me figure out the mechanics. I've always just tried to learn the system myself. I'm enjoying your videos immensely, though, and I'm actually learning a few new tricks. Thanks so much for making these!

[@SkooledZone]

I know what you mean. I was exactly the same way for the first year or so the game came out. It's fun to figure out the mechanics yourself. But glad you're enjoying the videos now!

[@GlendonPerkinsgp]

Really great explanation, and wonderful examples. I've never used the rug glitch building anything and that's after about 500 hours of gameplay with large, but basic, structures for casinos and homes and gyms. But now that I've watched it in slow-mo I'll have to try it in difficult building locations like Ten Pines and Coastal Cottage. If only every settlement was like the Nuka Red Rocket-a large rectangular plot of land with no interferences.

[@SkooledZone]

Thanks Glen. Glad the videos are helping. Happy building!

[@looniper3551]

You are correct in general terms regarding Clipping. It is, simply, any surface that could be rendered but isn't - either by design or through error. The best example being the design of game engines clipping every surface that is not facing the player, so that the game can be played at all. Without that type of clipping, no computer on the market today would allow you to play the game beyond leaving the vault. The processing requirements to render all sides of every tree and rock and blade of grass would just be too much. I should point out though, clipping and collision are not inherently related. I could make a spherical object mesh, texture it so that half is visible and half is not, and have an example of clipping within that mesh once it is in the game environment. But I could apply a Box collision to it 3x its height above or below it, just as easily as making a spherical collision that occupies the same space as the mesh. I would note that this is a trivial point, and has few examples, but it is actually an important aspect of a lot of games - where hitting the 'right spot' on a target is vital, etc.

[@eriklarsen8768]

I've always had problems doing this "glitch", but now on my no mod survival play through, this is helping greatly. Thanks!

[@SkooledZone]

Awesome! And you're welcome.

[@matthewm9987]

Great video easy to follow

[@myuniverse0325]

I thought I knew what the rug glitch was from a video i saw a while ago but it wasn't like this. It involved placing a rug as close as possible to the object you wanted to place from what i recall and selecting the rug outside of workshop mode . It often didn't work right for me. Can't wait to try the technique in this vid.

[@darkstar3540]

You do put an excellent video together... I use mods but its the creativity you show in using basic mechanics that helps inspire me and I always seem to learn a bit of something. So thanks for your uploads 👍👍

[@anthonywynn5434]

I don't have NEAR the items available to me for no mod building. I read that I need to get the game of the year version of Fallout 4 + Far Harbor, etc. would be nice to have access to all these items now that I'm picking the game back up with more building and creating in mind

[@SkooledZone]

Yup, I say that here :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2eveJ6FhLONq6s

[@victorylane2377]

I'm not sure if you know this already but when doing the rug glitch I use 2 rugs. When I get the item in place I store the rug farthest from the object, it drops down, then I store the rug closest to the object and it auto corrects to the right height. This works 80% of the time. Sometimes it does fall through the floor though. :)

[@SkooledZone]

Good tip, Victory. I also made a follow-up video to this one that might interest you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIbOap53rq6kidE

[@cursedmonkey1033]

You can avoid the object sinking into the ground sometimes by not placing it directly on the rug. If you place the rug near the object and hold down the select button or key it will highlight and pick up both things. Then you place the rug and when you store/scrap the rug the object doesn't sink.

[@SkooledZone]

Okay, I must say, I absolutely love your videos. As a scientist, learning is very important to me. But next to learning, my next love is teaching. You are an excellent teacher...educator. You are engaging and enjoying to listen to. I say that now because I have been building in Fallout for about a year and a half, a little more actually. I figured I would give your videos a try and learned much even in the beginner videos. That’s when I was hooked. I grew up in the 1980s, we didn’t read directions to anything. Trial and error all the way. I thought I knew a lot about building, picked up a lot over the year but really learned a lot from you videos. Not many videos actually *teach* but just show. So. Thank you. I am looking forward to backtracking and catching up on your previous videos and maybe getting my name on your sign after becoming a Patreon sometime soon. Looking forward to your video series and learning more. *Cheers!*

[@SkooledZone]

I really appreciate the kind words, SciGuy911. I almost became a teacher actually, but I found my calling on KZbin. You might like my Trivia Walkthroughs (one of the mainstays of my channel). You mentioned you're a scientist... much respect to ya! 👨‍🔬

[@sciguy9114]

Skooled Zone Thank you my friend. It’s appreciated. Being a scientist is why I really appreciate your channel...next to science, I have been training in martial arts for most of life and the founder of our system once said “He who knows how will be the student, he who knows why, the teacher.” And that resonated with me because our martial art system is a very scientific system as well. I really enjoy your explaining the WHY not just the how. Most channels explain the how and only the how. I will be honest, I have a few go-to channels for the last two years roughly since first playing Fallout 4. Sadly, I only recently came across yours...but, without a doubt, your channel has become my favorite. You inspired me to create a new play-through mod-free! “Glitches” yes, Mods no. And I forgot how much I love this game when you have to actually “survive” :-) Thank you! Looking forward to your next videos.

I did this by accident in croup manor on the second floor there is a hole in the floor with some wood slabs what I did was I placed blue plywood and some little brown plywood and when I got rid of the blue plywood the brown plywood went into the hole and made it look like there wasn’t a hole which is pretty cool

You deserve more than 75k

[@NeutronicalGaming]

Occlusion culling is a draw method that eliminates unseen polygons and objects behind obstructions, such as walls or trees to improve performance this isn't that at all you're just clipping one object into another you won't gain any performance doing this because the object is still loaded even if it isn't displayed, that said clipping an object through another object usually has no performance loss either unless they have complex transparency techniques applied to them, such as transparency anti-aliasing on spell effects but it can cause Z-fighting on some flat surfaces where small parts of one texture clip through another and they flash or shimmer as you move around them. and yes it's perfectly safe technically speaking, but it can look ugly if done wrong!

[@sethramirez7946]

So we need like an option to turn objects from normal, static, and phased? Static being like unmovable but sitting on the floor and Phased being like with no collision and can be placed mid air and through any other object. Like Halo’s newer forge mode? Maybe?

[@SkooledZone]

I have noticed that some of the objects that have unexpectedly large collision boxes, particularly on the back, are objects that are interactive in some way. That trash bin, for example, but also file cabinets and Nuka Cola machines. At least the bin and the vending machine have small animations they perform, such as the small glass door in the cola machine opening. However, these animations happen at the front of the object, not the back. It would make more sense for them to have an "empty space" in front rather than in the back, but you can usually place them with the front flush with a wall. I have no idea why this is, unless it is a mistake that the developers haven't fixed. If it is a deliberate effect, I have no clue why.

[@SkooledZone]

Interesting observation Patrik!

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Skooled Zone In real life, a drinks vending machine is essentially an extra fancy refrigerator, so it needs some space behind it for air to circulate, but I doubt that this is what the developers tried to simulate here >_>

You can rug glitch all vendor stores except for the ones that snap. The beige counters snap, so you can't rug glitch those. As for the others, you just have to use a really wide rug because they have a tiny spot where they pop up onto rugs. It's easiest to see if you do it on a street curb. As for the beige counters, you can still pillar glitch them. Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH-xi4tng65jaac

You mentioned how items such as walls and stairs are always defaulted to the bottom item but I want to rug glitch some stairs into a certain place. How do I get around that?? Nothing I've tried works

[@SkooledZone]

You usually can't rug glitch stairs because most snap. Items that snap can't be rug glitched. But they can be pillar glitched: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2qygnSpmqh8mck

Skooled Zone see I've tried that multiple times but I just can't get it in place. I'm trying to put the smallest wooden staircase on the edge of the deck in one of the sunshine tidings co-op buildings.

[@SkooledZone]

You also try adding a pipe conduit between the stairs and the pillar before you pillar glitch it. That usually works for me. If that doesn't work, make sure you're not using any terrain altering mods. Those sometimes interfere with the vanilla glitching techniques.

Alright, thanks for the info, and no I'm not using any mods, in spirit of the contest.

firstly let me say a big THANK YOU your classes are very informative, but let me ask ,why have i no concrete building materials, and other such items in my workshop, i only seem to have wood and metal,, is this because i am low level ?? ( 15 ) at the moment,, thanks for any advise,,keep up the great work..

[@SkooledZone]

Glad you're enjoying the lessons. You're probably missing the DLC. I use everything that comes with the _Game of the Year_ edition in my videos.

[@BillyBob-xr8hq]

@@SkooledZone I do apologise but you are speaking to a TOTAL novice, whats a DLC?? do i have to upgrade the game some how?? regards.

[@SkooledZone]

@@BillyBob-xr8hq No worries. DLC means downloadable content. They are official add-ons that come out after the game is released. Usually _Game of the Year_ editions of a game come out a year after the original and contain all the add-ons. For Fallout 4, there were 6 add-ons: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_add-ons ...You can buy them individually from Bethesda but it might just be cheaper to go to your local game store and buy a used copy of the _Game of the Year_ edition. The DLCs contain all kinds of new building elements if you like building in the game. Hope that helps!

[@douglasdobson8110]

where did you find the chain link fence? I have never found that

[@SkooledZone]

It's a Nuka World game machine turned backwards. ;-)

[@mrthewubbie]

How are you using the glitch on floors? If I did that it would pick up the whole structure?

[@SkooledZone]

You can just tap the rugs instead of holding down the button and it'll just select the rug and everything on it. Is that what you mean?

[@Daxerz]

Holy moly thanks man this is going to help me so much.

[@SkooledZone]

I’m trying to rug glitch a shop emporium into a counter, can’t really get it to work any advice?

[@SkooledZone]

Hmm, it's possible this video might help some: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH-xi4tng65jaac

[@itz_manymees2359]

Where did you get those plants in miscellaneous section I have never seen those in my workshop.

[@SkooledZone]

You need these first: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWXUaqOpeq-IhKc

[@chersharni]

You need the picket fences magaxine

[@BWTF_Ben]

Fairly new PS4 player here. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do if an item refuses to work with glitch? I tried putting a Power Armor display station (not the workstation, the one with the lights on it) onto a rug at Home Plate and it refused to work. The rugs just slide under the display station but they never seem to 'connect' (if that makes sense). Awesome video as always!

[@SkooledZone]

Does that one snap? Snappable items can't be rug glitched. If not, then it might just have a really big bounding box. Try setting a really big rug on a curb and wait for the display station to 'pop-up' onto the rug. If that doesn't work then you could always try pillar glitching it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2qygnSpmqh8mck

[@BWTF_Ben]

@@SkooledZone That was it! I didn't think they snapped, but they actually do. That answers my question, thank you! :)

[@SkooledZone]

@@BWTF_Ben You bet. By the way, that was Tip #9 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emiZeYVmaJ6geqs ...And there's more useful tips in the sequels. :)

[@thaddeus420]

This dude is awesome he's cool and all of his videos are useful

[@nBasedAce]

I stop the dropping by not using a rug for the rug glitch, I use an ashtray. I am pretty sure that it stops dropping of the object.

[@MikeKilo1969]

Paul, I'm having difficulty creating tri-fold American flag displays. The flags don't sit on ANY surface correctly, but instead snap into place in the middle of a shelf, stand, or case. By the way, the same issue is present trying to display the Vault Tec lunchboxes. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

[@SkooledZone]

Try placing them manually. It's the second part of Tip #3 in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXdkmill9F3Z8km11s

[@MikeKilo1969]

Thank you sir, I will try that again. I don't believe that Tip #3 addressed my particular issue, but thank you.

[@danroberts007]

I've watched this video 3 times now, along with the pillar glitch and several of your other beginner-level videos. I can't seem to get the rug glitch to work with wall sections. I'm playing FO4 for the first time, so I'm trying to build walls around Starlight Drive-In. I'll lay out 3 or 4 rugs on the flattest piece of land I can find, drop a wall on top of it and when I pick up the rugs the wall just sits in place. I've also had this happen at Ten Pines but the ground there is much more uneven. I can't figure out why it doesn't work. Does the rug glitch not work with walls? I'm playing on PC, btw, which reminds me... I also can't figure out which keys move "grabbed" items within your Workshop view forward/back and left/right. :-/

[@SkooledZone]

Yeah, the rug glitch doesn't work with anything that snaps. As for your other question, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXdkmill9F3Z8k

[@danroberts007]

@@SkooledZone Thanks very much for the response. I'll be checking that video out... now! 🙂

[@sublimationman]

How do you get that chain link fence in his background without a mod?

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Looks like the Nuka shooting gallery turned around backwards.

[@SkooledZone]

Insane Shecklador nailed it!

[@dinkmeeker4241]

I would love to be able to walk around in your settlements, just to find all of the stuff I miss in the vids! This is my second or third time watching this one and it is the first time I noticed the 3d hand for the vault boy poster. Guess I should stop using a second monitor for these and actually pay attention in class! Thanks Paul.

[@paddykealey5141]

great vid! keep it up

[@SkooledZone]

Thanks. Will do!

[@phantomgaming4006]

Good job man you helped me a lot so thank you 😊

What's Vault 42??? Amazing content.

[@SkooledZone]

Thanks and this is Vault 42: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmfRYmCGhKiIqK8 :)

[@gavinjoth5347]

Ive heard it doesnt work with anything that snaps, but also seen people use it on roofs, which snap? Confused

[@SkooledZone]

Yeah, doesn't work on anything that snaps. If people are using it with roofs, they're either using the pillar glitch to do it or using the 'place anywhere' mod.

[@Piecemaker1623]

Unfortunately I had to rewatch this video again. I have been frustrated recently with this glitch. Example placing a vendor along with a pillar glitch. With or without the pillar I click on the rug and it just come out from under the item. Use two rugs, put on highest rug, have the jump point, and make sure rug is over hanging a curb (etc) and grrr.

[@SkooledZone]

Haha, I know what you mean. Have you seen the sequel vid? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIbOap53rq6kidE
