Settlement Builds for Noobs: The Castle

[@Theegreygaming]

Minor correction: the Castle is unlocked via Minuteman questline, not Railroad. Not sure how that slipped through.

[@shawandrew]

Maybe with mods it could be unlocked vi railroad.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

You can party unlock it by just clearing it, but you won't get any artillery gun schematics. Still this is a better option in my opinion, because you won't get almost any raid attacks.

Great settlement. This is exactly the kind of style I try to go for in any settlement that has pre existing/partial structures and Ive always felt there should be a better way to repair buildings without it looking all wonky

[@DarkElfDiva]

There is a way. I do it in my settlements all the time. The Castle and that one half-crumbled building in Jamaica Plain come to mind. It's a bit tricky (and it REALLY helps to have a mod like Place Everywhere, that allows you to clip walls into objects without them turning red), but it's doable.

[@pat2rome]

The barn, warehouse, and concrete structures are a LOT more willing to clip than the base game's structures. I was able to perfectly repair the Croup Manor roof.

[@qualityherbsonly]

This is exactly how I did my castle walls. The only difference is the garage door is on the inside of the castle wall, and I used a junk gate for the outside. The area in between has turrets set up for any unwanted visitors that happen to get inside the junk gate. I have the inside completely wired almost identically. Just don’t have the wall for the generator room. Lol. I use the inside for shops and sleeping quarters. I even created a nice bar/restaurant in the room you made the bathrooms. I also have 2 jail cells. I have inside bathrooms and have outhouses as well. Awesome build!!

[@Tobez]

The thing I love about build videos is usually I would do a lot different in mine, but you always see little things in videos like this that give you ideas and new things to try. Such a fun game!

[@uni4rm]

I use the mod "Castle Walls Restored" (place late in load order) will not only fix the walls, but add several rooms to the castle that were before useless rubble areas including a matching door facing the diner. Also while Bethesda misses stuff all the time, I do like how they connected those sinks through those pipes all the way out to the ocean where the water pump sits. Its a nice touch and one thing you don't have to bother, even if it locks it into that room.

mods makes the game invalid so no

[@edmundduke1296]

@@hallucy2215 how do mods make the game "invalid"?

[@curtharakaly4620]

@@edmundduke1296 simple, a majority of all mods are just a form of cheating or not lore friendly at all. Granted they can enhance each individual players experience, but so many videos of settlements that people have created, with the help of mods, completely change the whole look of the game and the fact it is supposed to be post-apocalyptic. Still have to give them props for the things they accomplish but so many people change so much of what makes Fallout, Fallout, that it isn't even close to the same game anymore. Basically a different game just running on Bethesda's game engine.

[@Confused_Master]

@@curtharakaly4620 I mean lore unfriendly maybe, but i highly doubt the cheating one. the ones considered cheats are kinda the lesser ones ngl. I usually run ones that improve the feel and keep it fresh. make things feel more populated, bring in more clothes, weapons, heck, main weapons i add are from FO3 & NV as well as irl guns into the mix. Which many are alot more balanced than some of the guns in the creation club... Need we discuss how broken the triple-barrel shotgun is and how easily obtainable it is? How easy it is to upgrade to max? How stupidly easy it is to get a legendary variant? I mean unless you play straight vanilla the games are always gonna be a little busted

[@lexvt3551]

@Curt Harakaly Who cares how people play a single-player game. I play with lore-friendly, immersion-adding mods. But some people want a fresh game-play experience. Besides, you're telling me it makes sense that one person, who was has no carpentry/construction experience, can make a whole concrete/steel settlement in a few in-game days? Obviously it doesn't but that's in the game. Mods can be used in such a variety of ways (including to actually fix the game, a good portion of my mods). I like to watch people build without mods best but personally I think mods add depth and replay value, even to those who want to keep a lore-friendly and immersive playthrough, like me.

[@mairirose5843]

This is one of the best castle builds I’ve seen. I really love the no mods builds. So I subbed and can’t wait to check out more. Thank you.

[@kornelkereszturi7160]

It's really simple, but practical, I like it. I've also started building those holes in and put up some turrets along with the big artillery guns. Then I never really thought about anything, I was concentrating more on Sanctuary Hills. I've demolished most of the old houses and used Snappy Housekit and Scrap Everything mods to clean up the place and built some new buildings, like a big two-floor market, a generator room, 3 residential houses which are almost fully decorated, a barn for the brahmins, and a private house. Now I'm planning a basketball court with some stairs on the side. And I also have a big Power Armor showcase house to let me put out my 10+ different type or painted power armors. I've also fully restored Croup Manor using the Snappy mod, then I went to County Crossing to build an art-deco-like house and some defense for the 2 settlers there. My next big plan is to make something monumental out of Spectacle Island, which is maybe the biggest buildable settlement. I like watching, how others make nice settlements, the ideas are almost infinite, especially if you happen to use mods too. Actually I like building some more than playing the game itself.

[@94XJ]

For heavily fortified settlements like this, I'd love to be able to assign a settler as a door guard. They'd basically be like any defense assigned settler but would seal powered doors. Doesn't matter too much when attacks spawn within the walls but still...it would eliminate that weird feeling when you walk away from a fortification leaving the door open or with a way to open it. Maybe that's just me

[@tekknorat]

Does a game engine allow that?

[@donkeysunited]

I have a powered rolling warehouse door on the inside of both entrances with the power lines running to a switch beside my spawn point. When the castle is attacked, I fast travel in and flip the switch, sealing off the castle.

[@omniscientbarebones]

Add a guard for every post and they will never move away from them. Or assign them to the Vault-Tex workshop’s guard desk.

[@DarkElfDiva]

There are mods that add rubber floor mats as guard posts that you can plop down. Use one of those mats and you can make a guard stand anywhere you like.

[@billlyell8322]

I have used concrete walls to do the repair. This allows me to build an entry room in the large opening, and a 4 season store in the small opening. Over the large opening is an open bay barrack for the troop. The hallway bays are close off into officer quarters. I furnished the kitchen so it was functional. A second corner I made into a shower room. The third one was made into a clinic. A the 4th one with the stairs is the general's quarters. While I do use mods I added as few extra structures as possible. One of the optional mods I sometimes use is grass floor square mod to torn the grass green. I have also used sim settlements to plant crops on the brown grass roofs. I try to make it as functional as possible and still put as few alterations inside the courtyard. Keeping it a practice, exercise and recreation area.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

This is very good The Castle settlement build. I especially like you're northern wall entrance part. The other parts of the fort are really well done like the baracks, and the generator. The only thing that I would put outside near the water purifier would be the farm since I like to be historically accurate, so the attackers won't damage the crops, and to save up some space for other future base developments. For the crops I usually go for the Tato, Corn, and Mutfruit to create Adhesive in almost every settlement. Now for the future settlement builds videos I would recommend Sunshine Tidings co-op farm, or for more chalenge Coastal cottage settlement. Ps. I hope that you will get subs in the future.

[@ret7army]

Decent build. I like to make use of the ground on top of the wall for gardens but this quite nice indeed

[@SwearMY]

I do the same. The sprawling low to the ground plants (gourds and melons) go up there.

[@Alex-kr1ns]

That's a pretty good idea I'm embarrassed to say I've never thought about lmao. I have all my starch ingredients just taking up space to the right of the workshop

[@leechbreath9958]

Me too! Also nicer because it keeps my plants out of the way when I get attacked or whatever

[@tedzaleschook]

Lovely looking build, and far better than the ramshackle stuff I usually do!

[@evilbob840]

Here's a trick I've used for powered doors that block entrances: put an additional switch on the outside, connect the output from both switches to an XOR gate, and connect the XOR output to the door. This makes it so both switches toggle the door and you can open and close it from either side.

[@WorldsUnhealthiestFitPerson]

Yeah, I believe Skooled Zone has a good explanation of logic gates that are used for this express purpose.

[@evilbob840]

@@WorldsUnhealthiestFitPerson Oh yeah, I forgot about that. He used a pressure plate to automate it too.

[@Kira-Nerys]

My build was practically the same thing (with minor differences here and there), but I also built a platform around the water filtration system, with stairs leading down to it, walls all around it, and a little guard shack. I guess I just felt like it needed to be protected, though I can't remember ever seeing any enemies appearing back there. Oh well. It still looks cool.

You can also unlock the Castle as a regular settlement without the Minutemen, but you won't get access to the armoury unless you do the mission for the Minutemen.

[@kaldordraigo6420]

If you want to gain access to the armory without the minutemen claim the castle as a settlement first and glitch a fast travel target mat inside and all you have to do is fast travel back to the castle and you'll be in the armory but you just won't have access to radio freedom as well as artillery but there are guides on yt that show you how to get into the armory without the minutemen and if you want to get out of the Amory just place the fast travel mat outside of the Armory

I have a small trader outpost right next to the main entrance but your build looks great!

This is actually very similar to what I did with the castle back in 2015 when the game came out, I had to use wood foundations and shacks since the workshop DLCs weren’t out yet and I also didn’t have the powered doors, but the artillery and turrets are mostly in the same spots, the crafting area is behind the big metal door that’s a part of Ronnie’s quest, buildings are set up against the main wall of the fort for your traders, turned the areas under the artillery platforms into the barracks, the only major difference is that I turned one of those into my personal room and had a larger farm and hit the population cap, my farm was also more geared towards vegetable starch production.

I could never get that creative with the castle (except for a pier outside its' western wall). Most of the inside rooms are generally set up how I want them. The place that starts with the first aid is an aid station, the room at the end with sinks is the dining hall, the arms room stays the arms room. I change only a little; the big officer rooms into bays for the foot sodier minutemen and the central yard is for pushup mats, workout gear, and the rubble pile is a CQM range. TLDR: It starts close to how I would want it anyway.

The castle is a settlement along with a few others that (in my opinion) needs it's build limit increased. The location has a ton of potential.

[@geminix5845]

Scrapping or Storing items from your inventory (guns, armor, junk) reduces the Size meter allowing you to build more. You just have to drop the items on the ground then go into Workshop and Scrap or Store them. I've been dropping and scrapping my junk this way for some time because I like to see how much of each building material I have and may need, before I learned about this. My size meter is pretty much always at zero now. I hear if you overbuild using this method it can cause framerate and crashes though as the game needs to render everything in the area. I've only been playing for a few months, so you probably already knew this, but I figured I'd share. 😁 On your point though, I recently fully built a settlement at Oberland Station and was surprised how quickly I filled the meter by just building junk walls and a walkway. Seemed pretty ridiculous to have it so small.

[@KumieZoomie]

When you've got all the outer doors locked, does it really prevent attacking enemies from entering the settlement? In my own attempts to create an unassailable bunker, I've found that enemies run into the walls, and after pressing their faces against the wall long enough, they simply teleport through, rendering my carefully positioned walls pointless. I'm aware of what the problem is- faulty navmesh integration of placed objects, combined with the game engine's mechanic for unsticking trapped entities. But knowing doesn't make it less frustration.

I haven't noticed any crafting materials go missing but you can have several objects like turrets, power generators, and water purifiers become "damaged" and will no longer operate until you spend resources to repair them.

@@Theegreygaming ok, thank you.

I did do this in my first playthrough. Arduous torture but damn is it nice to look at when you're done with it. Now though I can't take the horrible building mechanics like I did back then so I just connect them to my supply line via Local Leader and I build a few necessities and leave.

[@ThunderCatsAreGo01]

do all the mirelurk nests just go in the end then or did you have to remove them with a mod? (new to it and on a survival playthrough, only just killed the mirelurk queen there and the interior of the castle looked such a mess with the nests and bits i just left it)

[@Theegreygaming]

the nests and most of the piles of rubble can be removed without the use of mods or console commands.

Looking for inspiration and ideas for fixing up my castle, this is pretty damn good.

[@howizee]

Nice build

[@ninjaattack3000]

It's amazing!

[@emmanuelfani5385]

Nice facility

[@mecca6801]

I kinda did something similar except i put all the shops in the middle in a makeshift housing and made the wall into rooms

[@johnthegreek1980]

This game is great!

[@Dave-zw4tu]

How do you obtain all those extra building options like the rails and the electric powered doors without MODS?

[@Theegreygaming]

they're DLC items, mostly wasteland workshop.
