The ULTIMATE Guide to Sheltered Beds in Fallout 4

[@keithsavagelives]

Superb overview of the subject! You even told me something new- the concrete beam/mesh combo roof IS sheltered, I had assumed it wasn't and never used it for a roof as a result. Thanks for doing the work to confirm this!

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you! I assumed the same for the concrete mesh beam roof and never really used it either. Now it has new possibilities! Glad the video is helpful.

[@stormcry8202]

This was an interesting video. Thank you for teaching me something new. With over 6000 hours in Fallout 4, I had no idea that the glass roofs were unprotected, nor did I realize that so many flooring pieces counted as "roofing material". I'm now curious about things like the scaffolding boards/wooden ramps with another thought about the ( 2 x 2 ) set of wooden platform stairs from the wood flooring tab. One thing that is fun that the KZbinr SarDeliac showed us that I love using is that the ( 1 deep x 2 wide ) walls from the wood tab with roofs, count as covered when you plop a sleeping bag under them. You can even use a ( 1 x1 )corner piece with a bit of roof on it as cover for a sleeping bag. He used that for a nearby guard since they actually never sleep, and it is just needed for the happiness tally. You can also offset a happiness hit with bars and weight benches and pommel horses. Then things like arcade games and Vault 88's experimental devices came out to help with happiness. So slap a bunch of those around the place and feel free to have Marcy Long sleep in the rain with 100% happiness :)

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you! Congrats on over 6000 hours of FO4 - impressive!! I haven't tested the scaffolding yet - but will give that a try. Thanks for the ideas from SarDeliac builds. I have used a few of his ideas for guard stations and like the idea of having a cot or sleeping bag to have the appearance that guard might need to rest (even if that never happens in the game) It's good to know that the shack walls (with the small roofs) count as covered. The slot machines (from the vaultec workshop dlc) that provide happiness are one of my favorites to use but you have to be careful because they cost caps to build. LOL on Marcy Long - couldn't agree more!

[@stormcry8202]

@@cryingcube2 I used to make the slot machines that robbed my settlers and gave me a steady flow of caps. But I found that if I take scrounger (even with a low luck ) I had tons of bullets to use for trading caps off from the vendors. Then with the proceeds of my arms sales I can pay for the 500 cap super happy settler slot machines. I found that going into each settlement and having every place constantly complaining about losing or being called a degenerate. If people are happy when I arrive, it really elevates the mood of the places that I am building at. I have a few radio station mods installed and it is very fun to blaze up and build on my settlements while Atomic radio or Galaxy News is playing away. I also like to do that while wearing all my +Luck gear to "Fish" for Perfectly Preserved Pies :)

[@cryingcube2]

@stormcry8202 In 4500 hours of playing, I've never been able to get a piece of Perfectly Preserved Pie except for the guaranteed piece in the Nuka-World junkyard Port-a-Diner. I think even with high luck there is less than a 5% chance of getting a delicious slice of pie and I never have my luck up high enough to make it worth the time. Maybe my character's New Year's resolution will be to get finally get a slice of perfectly preserved pie!

Appreciate your time and thought that went in to this. I often wondered about it but never took the time to understand it. Subscribed!

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you and welcome! I'm glad it is helpful!

[@xlerb2286]

Nicely done, thank you. And the info on the getav command was appreciated as well. It's been ages since I played but I'd noticed that if rain comes through the roof the bed always seemed to not count as sheltered, which was how I figured out whether a block worked for a roof. also was quite disappointed that the glass roofs don't work for shelter. I wonder if anyone's made a mod, it could be just a simple tweak to some property on those blocks.

[@amishsegway391]

Fastest way to get that 100 happiness achievement is to keep it small and stay in the settlement. I used Red Rocket with three settlers. One on food, one on the haircut chair that provided happiness & one on any of the tier one shops that provide happiness. I used a bar. Then just sit in the settlement & wait or sleep. It seems you get positive hits when your character is in the settlement.

[@cryingcube2]

That is very good advice! I learned that lesson the hard way by trying to get a large settlement to reach 100 happiness. Since the total happiness score is divided by the total number of settlers, it is easier to reach 100% with very few settlers ☺️

[@cyh6092]

I did it with one bartender. Put food in the settlement stash and build until you're near max size. Check on food as it goes down. Takes a while. I'm not smart, it was from a video.

[@cryingcube2]

@cyh6092 If I remember correctly, the large bar is worth the most happiness points. A bar or two would be a good strategy to get a small settlement to get up to 100%. There might be a cap on how much the happiness can increase per in-game day (but I don't know for sure) but it does seem to take a long time for the happiness to increase.

[@Steve-bq4pq]

Thank you so much, for taking the time to look in to this. I found it very interesting, and I was surprised with the glass roofing. Now I´ll have some changes to make, which I always find quite fun. I love the building part of this game, thanks.🤠👍

[@cryingcube2]

You're welcome! Glad it is helpful. I love the building part too - it's what has kept my interest for all of these years.

[@b1orogue]

I get the testing and appreciate it. Nice to know which floors / rooves work, but the easiest way to get Benevolent Leader is to have a settlement at the Red Rocket down the road from Sanctuary. You only need 1 bed, 1 settler, 1 turret and 1 level 2 bar and 1 chair. Put enough food and purified water in the workshop to last 10 days. Alternate sleeping and waiting and in 10 in game days the happiness should be 100. I did this years ago to get the platinum and this method is reported to still be working.

[@cryingcube2]

I agree - that is the easiest way to get to 100 happiness. I think that the mistake that I made when I first started playing the game was to try with my already overpopulated settlements - I really didn't know the math behind the happiness formula.

[@vegastrina]

This was super helpful. I heard rumors that none of the concrete anything worked as shelter, glad to see that mystery put to rest.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

The glass roof bits for the greenhouses is surprising and helpful. I kept wondering why I seemed to wake up sick more often at certain settlements. Its a shame, because I had a decent skyscraper built at Taffington Boathouse.

[@cryingcube2]

I know! It seems that everyone is as disappointed about the glass roofs as I am! I am either going to move the beds or change the roofs in some of my settlements.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

@@cryingcube2 It tells me not to put a bed on the top floor if I have a glass roof. Glad you looked into this. The concrete floor with the grating was also surprising.

[@Mr._Anderpson]

@@cryingcube2 Thanks. I didn't want to say it & risk being deemed a negative hater. We complain about their track record with these things because we've dropped a lot of time in them. So we see more of the flaws than someone who picked up the game, ran the main quest, & was done.

[@cryingcube2]

@Mr._Anderpson That is true. I was hoping that the next gen update would fix some of the more known issues but I don't think that happened (at least from a building standpoint). Although for all of the many hours that I have played this game - I think I got my money's worth!

[@TheInsaneShecklador]

Nice work. I was surprised by the glass roofs and the concrete mesh roof but seeing how it is a Bethesda game I really shouldn't have been. Now I'm curious about the "raider" tents.

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you! I took a quick look at two of the raider tents and they are both sheltered as long as the bed is under the tent. In the sections where the tents are narrow, it seems that if the majority of the bed is under the tent, it is sheltered but i would stick to putting beds more in the center or under the wider ends.

[@skeletonchampion2885]

The roofs, floors an walls with holes often have "invisible walls", you can test this by shooting trough the holes with guns and junk jet loaded with baseballs (as its safer then the grenades) to see if they have actual holes in them. Sometimes raiders use grenades so this is good test. Also i never tested if closed out buildings (made by player) protect from radiations storms. Some of them protect from explosions some don't, very important when super mutants or Gunners assault your settlement.

[@cryingcube2]

Thanks for your comment - I didn't know that you could test the roofs and floors with holes like that! Your method sounds like a lot more fun than the way that I did. I don't know about rad storms either - it seems that I pick up rads regardless of where I am located (unless I go into an interior cell).

[@njsanders]

Just using a roofed/walled corner piece and a sleeping bag under/in it will act as covered too.

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you - Good to know - they are pretty popular items to use in builds.

[@rayvn03]

Now I know why my settlements were never as happy as they could be. I'm guessing the game checks to see if the sky can be viewed at all through the floor or roofing from the bed placement. Since the sky is very much visible through glass, the game decides there's no coverage. Even though there is. Bethesda logic!

[@cryingcube2]

LOL! Bethesda logic is the only explanation that I can think of 🤔

[@rickmccl71]

Perfect video, I even took notes. No hype; just science project reporting and a lovely voice. I appreciate learning the console command to check this. My previous method was to wait for rain and see if it looked like it was coming thru the roof piece. I almost always use the metal roof pieces because they block the rain. I suppose those were too obvious to test for shelter. Seems there are many more 'safe' roofs than I had guessed. I love your high-quality interior decorating, too!

[@cryingcube2]

Thank you - I really appreciate your feedback! I follow your logic on the roofs - that makes perfect sense to me. I never put beds in the Sanctuary houses because of the holes in the roofs and the rain comes in the houses. However, curiosity got the best of me and I just did a quick test with a cot aligned with some of the biggest roof and ceiling holes that I could find. Turns out they were all sheltered 😲

[@robertlawson7329]

@@cryingcube2 I think the Sanctuary houses provide shelter to help beginner player and nonbuilder players get things going.

@robertlawson7329 Yes - I think that makes a lot of sense.

I always use glass walls and roofs for greenhouses, and those are always on the top floor of whatever building they're in/on. I was surprised the first time I entered the greenhouse at a settlement during a rain storm, and discovered that it was raining inside the greenhouse. Great for agriculture, garbage for shelter.

[@cryingcube2]

LOL - the unbroken glass roofs defy logic. No need to water the plants or have an irrigation system if the rain just goes through the glass! Maybe a little radioactive rain makes for bigger crops🤔

[@Kithkanen]

@cryingcube2 They conveniently solved my own mental quandary regarding how the settlers were watering the crops... Altho, the large mesh tiles would have sufficed.

[@JadeDude1973]

Some settlemnts, like Abernathy Farm and Tenpines Bluff, start out with unscrappable uncovered beds. You can "fix" this by building sheltered beds and physically assigning the settlers to specific beds. You may need to periodically re-assign them because Bethesda.

[@cryingcube2]

I'm not really sure why they would design it that way (unless it was an oversight). It is frustrating to players - especially at these settlements that you get early in the game, to have to battle with an unknown factor that is hurting the settlement happiness. Although it is Bethesda LOL!

[@Nippendale]

Hmm, I found that both bed designations and sheltered status change randomly. Like the same bed in the same place is sometimes sheltered and sometimes not, with nothing else being altered.

I didn't find this when I was testing. Which roofs/floors and beds are you looking at?

@@cryingcube2 Tested this out at Warwick and it seems the beds in the main plant area are not considered sheltered while the beds I put in the smaller existing building are covered. If you're wondering why Warwick never seems to get a high happiness value that could be why. Edit: Did some further experimentation at Warwick. If you place a bed inside the main building it is not considered sheltered. Moving that bed to a structure I built outside the main building the bed is now considered sheltered. If you build a wall and roof over a bed placed inside the main building it still is not considered sheltered. So don't place any beds inside the main building. The beds that come pre-built with the settlement cannot be moved so you will probably need to manually assign the family new beds. Edit 2: Apparently you cannot reassign any of the original NPCs at Warwick to a new bed. You could probably kill them but I'm not going to do that just for a few happiness points.

[@cryingcube2]

@obiwankenny1966 Wow! That is a big surprise - especially when you can't build a known roof that provides shelter over a bed inside the main building!! I rarely ever build at Warwick because I can never really think of anything creative to build there). You can check the target happiness of a settlement which tells you what the happiness will be with whatever is built (without all the waiting) by opening the console, clicking on the red workbench and typing getav 127238. It looks like Warwick is at 60% (with only the original settlers and enough food, water, beds and defense for each and nothing else). I don't know if any of the settlers at Warwick are marked essential (which means they can't be killed) but I think that all children NPCs are essential - so maybe Warwick could be an orphanage?? I checked the existing beds at the Slog and they are sheltered. I also built a bed inside the pool house building and it was sheltered as well. I wonder what happened with Warwick - maybe it was an oversight.

[@obiwankenny1966]

@@cryingcube2 I was checking the buildings in Sanctuary since I always just put beds down in the existing structures. In some places the beds are sheltered and right next to it not sheltered. You can move the bed around and find sheltered spots but there doesn't seem to be a way to tell before putting the bed down and checking. I reroofed one of the buildings and it does not guarantee a bed will be sheltered. Crazy how it works with existing structures. The shack in Hangman's Alley is fine. The buildings at Sunshine Tidings are fine, at least the two I've checked. I've spent several hours going around to settlements, on survival mode so no fast traveling, just checking beds. What I did notice was when you target the bed in the console the beds with (PP) at the end are sheltered while beds with (PE) at the end are not sheltered. Saves typing the command I guess although up arrow will recall the last typed command. Anyway, thank you for posting the video, it was great information.

Thank you so much for doing all of this. I didn't realize that the existing structures would be so complicated. Sure - the buildings with the blown-out roofs wouldn't provide shelter but I am still baffled by your discovery at Warwick. I did a very brief check at Sanctuary and didn't find an unsheltered spot, but I didn't do as thorough of a check as you did. I generally build a sturdier house for the settlers at Sanctuary. I always felt bad when Moma Murphy was curled up on her bed trying to sleep but was getting drenched by the rain pouring in from the holes in the roof. Thanks for the tip on the (PP) and (PE) too - I think that is a big help!

Could be handy for pc players who like to sleep under skylights...

Thanks for putting on this video, all of the years playing and relying on the mod "settlement management software" but not really knowing where the problems lie. So now knowing that warehouse glass roofing provides no shelter the thought of adding a normal floor plank below it would solve the problem but then it really defeats the purpose of the sky roof image. I've seen and have done it myself is glitching or using "place everywhere" mod to create bunk beds, I wonder what kind of outcome this provides. I was always skeptical of using the shack roofing with the corners cut out thinking they were not providing shelter, so looks like that question has been answered.

@samueldorrington8990 I took a quick look at several places in the busses, railcars and the truck trailer. They all seem to be sheltered. The multi-story is interesting. It seems to recognize a shelter if it is no more that one story up. For example, if the covering on the first floor is a mesh floor (unsheltered) and the covering on the second floor is a warehouse wood floor, then the bed on the first floor is sheltered. However, if the covering on the first floor is a mesh floor, the covering on the second floor is also a mesh floor and then we add a warehouse wood floor on the third floor, then the bed on the first floor is still seen as unsheltered. Hope this helps and makes sense too.

Even though you tested the vanilla wood roofs, I was wondering if these configurations are still acceptable: The Vanilla Wood roof with missing corners, come in 2 varieties, like mirrors of each other. I like to line up the missing corners of those 2 roofs in order to make a big hole. Either side by side, or 2 sets back to back to form one big giant hole. If I put a bed under the hole, is it still sheltered?

[@cryingcube2]

I did a quick check of the 2 scenarios using both the flat and slanted roofs with the missing corners. It looks like in both cases (2 side-by-side to make a hole and 4 to make a big hole) and with both the slanted and flat roofs, if the bed is mostly under the hole, then it is unsheltered. As the majority of the bed moves to be under the roof, it is then sheltered.

[@vegastrina]

I've seen some unassigning, but not entire settlements. I've also seen them assign themselves to multiple beds and I've also seen them get lost if they weren't assigned to a bed. Strong assigned himself to a bed one time, he stood on it...couldn't lay on it I guess, then he unassigned himself. It was sometime after that when I noticed the weird activity regarding the beds.

[@NorseGraphic]

Sometimes when I away from Sanctuary, the number of beds decreases, leading to decrease in happiness. Never happens in other settlements. Though, it’s one with the most settlers (25 settlers, including the refugees from Concord). The other settlements I keep the default number of settlers, and this doesn’t happen (from 2-3 settlers typically).
