Commonwealth Contractor | Lighthouse

[@robertthebard]

Once you have completed the Mechanist questline, you could just use the wall mounted search lights, which would make it look more lighthousey, since they'll "rotate". One on each water facing side should be great.

[@MegaZeta]

Weird to see the word "just" in your comment. You’re suggesting a different approach but for some reason phrased it as a passive-aggressive pseudo-correction

[@robertthebard]

@@MegaZeta Um, no? If I'd pointed out that you'd only need 3 or 4, would you think I was trying to instruct players on resource management, instead of just saying that, for appearance sake, it would look like a lighthouse?

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

I would like to add one thing for this. If you want to build tall structures like this, put on at least a Power Armor frame or a pair of leg armor with the Acrobat Legendary effect to mitigate fall damage. Doing construction in either the real world or videogame, ALWAYS REMEMBER, safety first. Your character CAN DIE just by falling from a minimum of 3 to 4 floors high, even when you're in the build menu. HOW do I know? ... Don't ask.

[@darthvegera]

I have been playing Fallout 4 since it came out and until I started watching your videos all my builds have been boxes with dozens of beds crammed into them. Thank you for great builds ideas to make my settlements look like people would actually live there!

[@Thelordmagedon]

I didn’t ever use the vault handrails on a concrete piece before, thanks for the pro tip!

[@johnwiebe8581]

@GreyGaming, Something I would like to see in the commonwealth contractor is a concrete build out of Vault 88. Vault pieces take up the settlement size too quickly and I find one can have everything in the first area anyway. That said I have not seen anyone build the place using concrete (some have done wood/steel shanties though).

commonwealth con artist I MEAN contractor

[@jcohasset23]

Thanks for doing this as I myself have never really messed around with conduits and I rarely use the warehouse buildsets. I love a lot of the dlc workshop items but Bethesda did a really poor job of explaining how they get used in-game compared to the vanilla workshop items so it really requires watching tutorials like this or experimenting for a long time to figure out how to use some of the more complex dlc workshop items.

[@tankaroonie8943]

Absolutely wonderful definitely gonna build this keep up the great work

I really love the building in fallout 4

[@tlrlml]

Would be better with half floors around the light room, the point of a light house is that ships can see it - even when close by.

[@Bubble_0f_d00m]

If you're looking for more commonwealth contractor video ideas, you should try building a building with the red barn material, but with the red walls facing inward and the brown facing outward. It's as if you've suddenly got a whole new building material, but no mods needed to achieve. That opens up some pretty cool possibilities.

[@shauntowers9040]

For the stairwell I would have used a 4 story elevator but for a light house stairs make sense.

[@BallonEEE.]

Might just be my experience with doing a tower once, but the elevator doesn’t work too well with the concrete walls, it’s too low compared to them so if you already have a floor in you have to rearrange it around and it might look ugly, might just be me tho, let me know if you’ve had a different experience.

[@shauntowers9040]

@@BallonEEE. Not really but if you try hard you can snap concrete down or add floors that are lower than concrete in addition to concrete.

[@dividewalker5673]

Granted, I haven't played without Place Everywhere in literal years, but one thing I'd have done differently is put the concrete stairs directly on top of each other if possible, simply to save space. Other than that, for using entirely vanilla build sets, it looks good.

[@Theegreygaming]

you can do that without place anywhere, you just have to build in a specific order because there's a wierd half-compatibility issue. I don't use it though because it causes NPC pathing issues.

[@AndyJP]

I wish they had done more settlement build items in F4's creation club. Bethesda really missed out on robbing me.

[@nanosum1]

Love your videos

[@gearhero79]

Thank you

[@sledic1843]

I always wanted to make a light house

[@restcure]

Call it Freddy's Lighthouse, 'cause it has five lights inside the dome.

[@chriscollins8221]

With regards to the outer walk way at the top of the tower have you either considered/tried using the smaller 1/4 sized flooring pieces to reduce the size of the overhang, this may give the top of the lighthouse a more natural feel as most lighthouse would only need this for maintenance reasons. This is not a criticism merely an observation, I have been playing Fallout for a few years and love the settlement build aspect, I have been looking for ideas for my buildings. I found your videos recently and find some to be quite inspiring to use different build styles.

[@Theegreygaming]

I have, and I've since switched to the half width expanded metal flooring from the warehouse/barn sets. it makes it harder to use the vault-tec wrap around corner railings but and takes more patience to work with but does offer cleaner appearence when done.

[@chriscollins8221]

@Theegreygaming It's ashame that the concrete set doesn't have a curved gaurd rail that snaps to the curved floor piece because that would really help. I enjoy the challenge of building something that looks realistic (sort of) but have struggled with using the concrete pieces sometimes due to the way they snap togethe. Watching your videos helped to clear some issues up, so Thank You. P.S. I appreciate the response to 🫡

[@LilasTools]

Not much of a builder myself but love fallout 4 and watching your videos! Have you ever thought of uploading your settlement builds to the nexus mods page? Using the transfer settlements mods.

Are you going to do any Starfield content? Love your videos btw

[@ShantsPitter]

You should make a video ranking all the weapons from fallout (non modded)

[@Phantasm57]

I've noticed that F4 doesn't have any firehouses, could you do a video creating one?

[@SaidNoGaming]

Make another episode of 5 locations that should’ve been settlements

[@okan931]

Nice video man! You have potential on KZbin. What mic do you use?

[@Theegreygaming]

Yeti Blue X... I've played around with 6 mics before I found this one. I'm still not sure I'm completely happy with this mic, but the next one up is several hundred dollars so I think I'll wait a bit before upgrading again.

[@MU-oi1su]

Bethesda made such a frustrating building system when it comes to snapping and running electricity

[@VunderGuy]

I would just like to point out, the Legion as presented in New Vegas needs a complete rewrite and asset change to be even plausible in existence rather than just completely and utterly laughable. Real world tribes the world over with a preference for melee and a backwards luddtie culture preventing them from maximizing combat efficiency got turned into lead pin cushions by dudes with muskets, minie balls, and early self-contained cartridge fire arms. Against even the most bare bones contingent of colonial forces the NCR has in the New Vegas, their service rifle is more than sufficient to deal with the Legion forces we see in that game to the point the K/D ratio gets into some silly Hearts of Iron 4 numbers when playing against a computer on the easiest difficulty setting.

[@restcure]

Gggggh ... gggggh ... ggggh ... OCTAGONAL! Sorry couldn't keep it in. heh heh ...😬

[@bryson5855]

Let me say first, your videos have sparked a new interest in Fallout 4 for me, it's not a perfect game by any means, but I have a lot of fun. But do you think of doing videos on other games? Or even not even video games?

[@Theegreygaming]

I am slowly working on branching out to other fallout games but I have very little fallout 3 content and virtually no new vegas or f76 footage so It takes several dozen hours of play before I have enough footage I can start writing scripts around. I have tried branching out to other franchises but they either performed very poorly or the comment sections turned really nasty, apparently fallout tends to have an unusually friendly and cooperative fanbase. I do have a second channel @theegreygalaxies that discusses sci fi. I used to have an educational channel going over computer networking and cybersec but I've abandoned that one in favor of focusing on the entertainment channels.

[@caleblevi3695]

Honestly I appreciate that you like using vanilla assets, but the modding community is too big to ignore. I’d love to see a settlement building series similar to that of Kortsgaming. Keep up the good settlement builds otherwise.

[@jesternario]

So, how does someone get every settlement item in the game? I understand some of them require you to unlock them somehow.
