Fallout 4 Red Rocket No Mods Settlement Tour. A player home, robot trading and provisioner hub 2022. 

Looking back I wonder why this one took off so much more than some of the others? Don't get me wrong it deserves all the attention in the world, but I think your recent Oberland Station is fantastic too. I just wonder why one takes off and others don't when the quality is so good.

@@dreed8358 I'd love to know the answer to that dude! Lol I've spent a lot of time going over the analytics to try to see what happened here and with the Starlight build that put the channel on the map so to speak. Overall no patten is there, the analytics for this video are worse in every area than almost all my other videos. Yet it has the most views so analytics are no help at all.

I like everything about fallout 4. It's incredible

@@RobertStevenson-uy9sj Me too! It's my favourite game!

Many thanks! Glad you have returned to the game. Lots more great builds on the channel and lots more coming soon.

I totally agree, the brands they created and their respective back stories really does make the world come to life. I really adore the Red Rockets, I don't know what it is about them, but I just love them. I have a video going up today looking at the Red Rocket from the new tv show, so keep an eye out for that.

funny how you find Dogmeat at, red rocket.

Well minus nukacola that's an interplay invention, but the writers have done a lot with it since then.

@@Sip_Dhit Totally understand, but my meaning is Bethesda in Fallout 4 really made it a brand, at least more so than previous Fallouts.

Welcome to the game and many thanks for watching and commenting. Lots more build videos here and don't forget to check out the building tips videos if you need any help.

I'm so basic and boring could never imagine this

@@dogharma4665 I think you can do it! Just keep building things up slowly. Think about it as a real world, what do the settlers need? Think about what would work in the local area. Every time you return to a settlement, just keep adding a small piece. All the settlements I have put up so far were built like this, slowly piece by piece over time. Just keep chipping away and I think you will be surprised at what starts to develop.

@@HattaTHEZulZILLA86 Thank you, and duly noted!

Thanks again my friend! Robot run settlements do give a huge advantage.

The robot provisioner bug has been around a long time but it's rare and not a big problem in my view. The robot still runs the line fine anyway. In my experience, it only happens in dense cells like in and around downtown and the castle. I will be doing a video on making best use of the robots soonish.

Keep in mind when using robots that they have an impact on the settlement happiness, so it's best to use a provisioner/trade hub robot only build, like he has done.

@@TheMjollnir67 Thanks, yes you are right I should probably have mentioned that. Robots are set at 50 happiness.

Thank you Jason! Welcome to the channel and to the game, I hope you have a blast with it.

Thanks again! This is a really old settlement. The stairs were all wood originally. I changed the layout a lot over the years. As the DLCs all came out and added so much to the very limited building options we had in the base game on day one, it was great to gradually keep improving and evolving the design.

Thanks I really appreciate that Derek. Welcome to the channel. Red Rocket is a great place for your first base in the early game. Lots more builds and tip videos here and still to come. Hope you enjoy the game.

Wow, thanks that's great to hear. I think my confidence with voice-over is growing thanks to great comments like this. A raider settlement is a great idea, I'm working on a few ideas like this that will come after a few more playthrough builds.

Thank you! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it's much appreciated. Lots more builds coming very soon.

Wow! Thank you so much. I've got lots more creative builds coming up.

Thanks! It's always good to experiment with new pieces and textures. You can always keep adding and taking deleting. I'm always tinkering, no settlement is every really done.

Lol There were humans there at one point.

Thank you Jon! I mostly use the lifts to keep settlers out of areas.

Same here! No Idea how many characters and playthroughs I've started since release. I don't mind playing with mods now and then but for me, I'll always prefer the challenge of no mods for building. Many thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel!

It was a nightmare to do but once I had the idea I couldn't let it go. Really glad you enjoyed it, and a big thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks Alice! More comming very soon.

Thanks, that upper deck went through a lot of changes over the years. I was pleased with the way it ended up. I think Hangman's would work well. Lots of limitations there so it would suit robots nicely.

Have you seen my all robot Gray Garden build? If not then that would be a good one to check out too. There are a lot of advantages of the all robot settlement. Plus it's just a cool thing to try!

Thanks Ed! Really happy it provided some inspiration. Good luck with the build!

Finally!!! Well done indeed. I was starting to think nobody would ever get this. You my friend are the first person to get this in 13,787 views. Also welcome to the channel and thanks for taking the time to comment.

@@FalloutPBC The pleasure is all mine......

Thank you vey much.

Thanks Julio! Lots more coming soon.

Thanks! This was my first proper player home. I actually miss it on other playthroughs.

I was thinking about covering that in a video at some point. I'm also interested in the routes they take. I follow them on the route sometimes. They do some very odd things and take some strange paths. I do like to set up routes that make logical sense from an in-world RP perspective.

@@FalloutPBC i was watching a colossal build at Starlight. He couldn’t do everything he wanted, bc of the framerate. Thus , some interiors were sparse. That particular settlement was one of two major hubs. I asked him if he thought there’s a point where the number of provisioners impacts framerate of a settlement. He had never considered it. He thought it was all the turrets. Provisioners get rendered by the game when you’re there. Usually upon arrival and after sleeping. Can you set up as large a hub aa you want to, without impacting the framerate of a well developed settlement? Just some food for thought.

@@christophercollins3632 That's interesting I hadn't thought about that either. My biggest hub is my Graygarden build here on the channel. That was also the settlement I had most trouble with. It crashed often. I presumed it was just the size of the build. But my Starlight build seemed to be just as big, had a bigger population and rarely crashed. I never considered it could be the provisioners. I recently was forced to upgrade to XboxSE and the whole game runs tons better, no settlements crash at all. So sadly I can't go back and test the theory.

Thanks Nathan!

I've had some requests for Starfield content. I'm considering having another channel with all the Bethesda games.

@@FalloutPBC oh that'd be great

Many thanks, that's much appreciated.

Thanks! Robot only settlements are really fun and practical.

Many thanks! Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you enjoy getting back into the game.

Thanks Conway! I think RR makes a great early player home thanks to all the workstations. The lack of food and water space does make it tricky for settlers.

I spend way too much time on choosing lights. It can add a lot of atmosphere though.

Many thanks! I'm always amazed by the popularity of this one.

Thanks. I used the concrete floors for the area around the fuel pumps. I used the solid ones where possible. For the areas where the fuel hoses reach the ground, I used the wire mesh version. If you look closely you can see the two different floors. I then covered the floors with the planters. In one or two places that had gaps, I used boxes and the scrapping stations to hide any ugly areas. The concrete floor set is by far the most forgiving when it comes to snapping. I hope this helps, if you need any more help just let me know.

@@FalloutPBC thank u so much bro. Will let u know if there is anything. Cheers

@@lunatrigger693 Glad to help and good luck with the build!

Many thanks! Yeah, I always tend to start here, it's just so much easier than messing around with Sanctuary.

Thanks for your support it’s very much appreciated. Lots more built videos are coming soon!

Many thanks for your feedback! A new series like that is something I'm hoping to do soon. I'm also looking to do Nuka World Red Rocket at some point too.

Oh wow, thank you! Many thanks for watching and commenting, it's much appreciated.

That's brilliant. So glad F4 is still gaining new players. Welcome to the game and the channel. I did the same as you on this playthrough. I totally ignored the main story until well after I'd build most of these settlements. Thanks for the sub and I hope I can continue to provide ideas in upcoming vids.

@@FalloutPBC Now I just need to settle on one character to complete a playthrough with. I keep coming up with different character builds I want to try and as such I have like 6-7 different runs started.

@@simdoughnut659 Yep I did the same thing! lol It's not really a problem because of the massive variety in character builds and story outcomes. Even if you abandon some characters now, you can always go back to them to play through the other faction storylines. This game is just limitless.

I have over 1000 hours in FO 4. IMHO, the main story is nonsensical badly written not fully thought out sh^t. The reason I have played so much to a large degree is the attempt to make non-ugly settlements. Many of the sides are good, like the Silver Shroud quest line. And Far Harbor is excellent.

@@austinsmith3011 The main story was a bit of a mixed experience for me. I think it obviously plays best as Minutemen. I loved playing the Brotherhood quest line; specifically " Blind Betrayal " is my favourite storyline ever. Sadly the BOS experience drops of after the story ends due to the lack of building content for them I thought the story lines for the Institue and the Railroad just didn't work for me at all. I would agree that the Railroad story line is pretty stupid. Like you say plenty to keep coming back for with the deep building system and great side quests.

All the parts you mentioned are from the various DLC’s If you don’t have the DLC’s I’d highly recommend them all. Far Harbour is a massive DLC it’s like a mini game in itself. They maybe on sale at the moment too due to the 25 anniversary.

That's the best guess so far... but no. It's a reference from a TV show that is a big cult hit here in the UK. Your guess totally makes sense and is a close fit too.

Many thanks! Much appreciated!

Thanks, it is hard work for sure! lol, I do enjoy some mod building too but I strangely enjoy returning the challenge of no mod builds.

@@FalloutPBC It is a challenge for sure...I started myself using no mods at all, since I usually play a new game the first time without any mods, but the simple fact that repairing walls and roofs in Sanctuary was only possible with using glitches or that you couldn't build many things, building and furniturewise, even though all of them were in the game, not even to mention that trying to decorate what you just build was nearly impossible because NPC's kicked everything over again, frustrated me more than that I had fun building settlements. So I turned to using mods for what I had envisioned my settlement(s) to look like, even more with the release of the Vaul-Tec DLC.

@@TheMjollnir67 Building in vanilla is super frustrating for sure! I remember the first time I started using mods, it was so satisfying to finally scrap things that had annoyed me for years! lol

@@FalloutPBC Yup...every single settlement has some stuff you want to get rid off, but can't. At least when you're playing vanilla. Also place anywhere mods. Can't build properly without them, at least not without heavy usage of pillar glitch and thelike. And not even to mention the amount of additional stuff you get by using mods...working showers, more vault rooms, filled shelves and counters, working jukeboxes and fridges, just to name a few. I mean, it's a single player game, so to each his own, but sometimes when I watch someone building a settlement here on y-tube I have those moments "why didn't he...ah, yes, he's not using mods"

@@TheMjollnir67 Mods are super seductive. Are you playing on PC Mjollnir ?

Thanks! It is a tricky place to build.

Yeah, sadly the robot provisioner system is bugged. Despite this, I still love using them if it fits the character's headcanon.

That's right. Robot settlements stay at 50. That's one of the things I like most about having robots. You can just leave them to get on with it. Perfect for settlements like this where food and water are hard to produce.

😂 Many thanks!

Have a go my friend! Build it up slowly over a playthrough maybe like I did? You can do it I'm sure. Good luck with your builds.

Yes, that's right the robots work just the same as humans. The only thing to note is a robot is set at 50 happiness. So if you mix robots and humans they will drag down the happiness rating. That's why I tend to use all robot hubs like this one and my Gray Garden build.

Maybe one day!

@@FalloutPBC I see quite a lot of people have been asking for the builds to become mods. I guess I was ahead of the curve!

Sorry no, it's a TV reference. Good guess though.

Thanks Sherry!

Yeah he's great, isn't he! I have him chill my Nuka Colas and keep them in a specific cooler. Just for fun and the RP.

Hi, thanks for the question. The gas pump area was done on Xb1 and no glitching was used. Everything was just snapped in as far as I can remember. It was done about six years ago long before I was recording for youtube. It was a real pain to do and took many hours. The concrete and metal floors are pretty forgiving. You can see in the video that I had to use the wire mesh floors to get around the hoses in some spots. That was the reason I used the planters and boxes! It was to cover up how rough and odd it looked. I was pleased with how it worked out but it was a nightmare to do.

Thanks, I did put a huge number of hours into this over a number of years. Sometimes I see a picture in my head of how a settlement could look. Then I just have to try to see if it's possible to build it. It's like a splinter in my mind and I just have to get it out. It was like that with this one, the Gray Garden tower and the Starlight fort. I just had to find a way to make them work. Once I have the basic idea down the rest of it just grows organically over time. I try to only add things that make sense for the settlement. I like things that look like they would work and be a logical thing to add and fit the Fallout lore. The best advice I would give is don't try to build a big settlement. This one started as a metal shack. Just keep coming back and adding bits as you need them or add things that make sense. Before you know it you will have a cool settlement that will take on a life of its own!

@@FalloutPBC Our Red Rocket Builds are drastically different. I always figured, go big or go home. lol As far as Fallout 4 Lore goes, that is why I created my own Plotline and Home-made Movie(4 hours long) for this game. I got tired of having to explain to player's why my builds were always very extravagant. Sorry, I have to admit I was prodding you for an answer. I wanted to see if you actually check out other people's Channels before replying back to them. Yes, I do indeed have 40 short videos on Fallout 4 Builds, plus another 20+ on full-length tours. Perhaps check them out, and we an compare notes. I disagree. Once you start a build, you don't move on until it's complete. I remember how long it used to take me to get 1000's of unit of glass from Bunker Hill. And ALL my settlements required 2k-4k units of glass. It was usually a 4-6 hour process, not only to adventure (Ransacking the Pyrdwyn was always the quickest way) to gather equipment to sell, but to grab glass from Bunker Hill, rest for 48 hours and then get another 50 glass units. That took an incredible amount of time. When you start a build, you make sure you have plenty of materials if you're not using mods and you're on Vanilla. I built 10 settlements before I started to use mods in my builds. I wanted to push the Vanilla System as far as I could, before getting into the really GREAT-looking builds. You start out with a basic idea in your head of how you want the Base Build to look, what function it serves and then start laying down your foundation blocks. Building settlements came very easy to me, just like building my Public Land Art Projects. And yes I do get bored after 4 hours, which is why I usually smoke the entire 2 weeks I am concentrating on a build. I have builds ranging from 80 hours-400hours in length, but NOTHING less than that. Your videos are very helpful for beginners. Not much use to a building Veteran like me, but they're sometimes fun to watch. The, 'Place Anywhere' MOD, is a VERY bad mod to use if you like pushing your builds from 8-17 times the build limit. That particular mod eats up too much rendering power from your processor, meaning your builds can only be around half as big. Fallout 4 Guy on RU-vid specifically always used PLACE ANYWHERE, and NEVER used snap-ons. And it shows on his Channel. He is probably one of the only other builders that is on the same level of quality as myself. Too bad he doesn't post anymore, but his Channel is still up. As you showed, there are creative ways you CAN use snap-ons, by using the rug-glitch or the meter stick. There are plenty of ways to make an interesting build with only snap-on structures. I think I more than proved that in my builds. Anyways, it was nice chatting with you. I will keep an eye on your Channel from time to time. Cheers🍻

Thanks Jordan, welcome to the channel!!

@@FalloutPBC your welcome

Many thanks! Lots more builds coming soon.

Thanks!

I agree it would be a nice upgrade. It is possible in this engine as Fallout 76 has fully destructible walls and doors etc.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Good luck with your builds.

Many thanks! The build limit was reset a few times. If you would like all about resetting the build limit without mods I have two videos about it in my tips playlist.

Thank you so much! I've been looking at Coastal Cottage since you suggested it. It is a really tricky one but I have a few ideas now. I will do a video there soon and give you a shout-out in the vid for the suggestion. I'm still experimenting with playthrough ideas. What type of playthrough would you like to see?

@@FalloutPBC Thank you for the consideration. I have always struggled with that settlement. I dont know what kind of playthrough. I just love watching other people play. Its relaxing.

​@@bluekitten1032 The playthrough will happen at some point. I may experiment with a live stream.

Many thanks! I tend to keep it small on later playthroughs too. Strangely on all my other playthroughs I miss it! This one and the Graygarden home, I actually miss them. Lol

Thanks!

You can reset the settlement size bar in vanilla. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pd21BSlfLuA.html This video is part one of how to do it. Make sure to watch part two as well as lots of crucial info is there too.

Sounds cool! Let me know when you video is up, I'd love to see it.

@@FalloutPBC I have some videos up already but not proper constructions done. But I am going to do these types of videos and yeah. I'll let you know

I had to check the video myself, I changed them so much over the years I couldn't remember! Lol They are a mix of warehouse pieces and the concrete pieces. The first flight is the warehouse and the second flight and landings are all from the concrete set. The mix is so the lower set can go into the ground, and to make sure it all fits nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Many thanks! Tutorials are something I have been asked for a lot. I would love to add them if the channel gets enough support.

@@FalloutPBC well best of luck man I hope you get more attention

ru-vid.com/group/PLNSrHbtEeFpUNvRds2fopb4x3n9W1erAh This is my tips playlist. I have two videos covering resetting the size bar. Please give BOTH videos a watch to get all the necessary info. Hope that helps!

The back area is flat so you can build anything that fits back there. The problem comes with how the front slopes up. You can see in the video I built a deck in that area. I changed the build many times over the years before settling on this design, so lots of experimentation and trial and error was how I got there.

😂

It's always fun to return to the game after some time away. Good luck with the build and If you get your build up online, let me know I'd love to see it!

Thanks Matthew! Walls can be tricky. The easiest to use are the concrete as they sink naturally, so they work really well for a defensive wall. If you want to use the metal or wood building walls it's almost impossible to get then to look right without using some kind of glitch to push them underground a little. Have you seen my tutorial videos here on the channel? In my tips playlist are videos on using the pillar glitch, it's really easy to do and that will help a lot with building walls. Let me know if this helps.

@Fallout Play Build Collect I will make sure to check them out. I've been trying to play fo4 for a while, and I finally got it working, so I'm new to settlement building. I thought Red Rocket would be perfect to start out, but I think I was wrong, lol. Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know how it turns out.

@@matthewcrooks29 Red Rocket can be a bit tricky. I would suggest starting at Starlight Drive-In just down the road. It's big mostly flat area makes it a great place to start. Plus there is a ton of scrap there too. Start small and gradually add over time. I hope the tips help and good luck with your builds!

Many thanks! Quite a few people have asked for my builds to be uploaded to Nexus. As an Xbox player I'm not very familiar with mod creation but I'd like to do it at some point.

@@FalloutPBC I would really appreciate it you do that..... And when you do that please let us know.... Thanks you.....

@@mahmudalamsagor Wil do my friend.

@@FalloutPBC One more thing, in the video you said, you will update this build after more Creation Content. So, when will we get that updated build video? Also, make a video about Sanctuary Hill.....

@@mahmudalamsagor I won't be updating this one anytime soon, but I have been looking at upgrading the Starlight fort and Sanctuary videos at some point.

Did you post this comment on the right video?

Frustrating isn't it! In my tips series, I have two videos on the size bar that should help ru-vid.com/group/PLNSrHbtEeFpUNvRds2fopb4x3n9W1erAh

Thank you thank you so much! I’m a little late to this I never got the notification😭 but the crazy part was after I posted this I found those exact videos so thank you so much man I appreciate the reply.

@@trusttheprocess5618 You are welcome my friend, thanks for watching.

I remember, and all the negative feedback it caused. They will be restarting that system too when the update finally drops. Hopefully, it will be better implemented and received this time around.

@FalloutPBC should have just left it how it was originally. Mod authors made mods because they loved the game. And of you wanted to donate you could. Now we get paid mods with zero voice acting that people think are dlcs. Like in skyrim, the pirate one at Clearwater. You walk up to a quest npc, and he says some generic shit and hands you a note. Bethesda has the nerve to charge for that bullshit. 🤣

@FalloutPBC but serious question, I know that the robots don't produce as much because of happiness rating. I could just put a bunch of cats in or whatever but I'm not to worried about min max productivity. I will never loose control of the settlement because of happiness with robots, correct? I can pretty much do whatever I want and the robots just don't even care? I'll probably end up with 4 or 5 settlement trade posts (since robots are terrible merchants) and the rest I was planning on just building an army of robots.

@@bryancollier704 The problem with that system is almost nobody ever donates. Lets hope the new system works well for everyone.

@@bryancollier704 My Graygarden build is all robot too they work perfectly. Don't worry about the happiness rating. If there are no settlers just robots and companions you are good to go.

Many thanks! Are you referring to the garden plots near the fuel pumps? If so they are from the Wasteland Workshop DLC.

Thank you

@@thirdpartymarley Glad I could help

Many thanks! This was a playthrough build. It was constructed bit by bit over a number of years.

The materials for all my builds were collected in game from junk.

Sounds like a fun place to visit.

It was a nightmare to do. A few people have asked for a tutorial so I'm looking into getting one up on Patreon at some point, if I get the time.

I wish they had found a better way to do settlement attacks. As you said the current system sucks.

It is frustrating that walls have limited use. I tend to build walls mostly for the aesthetic look. Sometimes it just looks right. That said this is one of the settlements that walls do work at, the spawn points are all well outside. Many thanks, I hope your build goes well.

Some items in the build system are unlocked through game play, most like the concrete set are from the DLC's

Lol I love Edward and Tubs.

Ok I'll bite, why is Dog Meat at Red Rocket?

He's cool right! And useful too. I wish they had put more unique robots in the game.

@@FalloutPBC i built lots of robots, all kinds! I love this game! Top 5 all time

@@urfavwhtboy Me too! I build robots for lots of tasks. My Gray Garden build is all robots too.

Lol, All my builds started crigey too, the thing with my builds is they all took many years to develop. They grew organically over time. Start small and just keep adding a bit here and there everytime you visit that place. You will be surprised how it starts to develop and fill out. Just keep chipping away.

Nope, it's all natural. No mods and slowly built up over a long playthrough, so all the resources were gathered in the game too.

Hi Jack, I know it's a big game and it's a little overwhelming early on, but stick with it and you could be having a great time in no time. I have a playlist here on the channel with a few videos giving some tips for getting the most out of building and understanding all the terms you will hear. I made them with new players in mind and they seem to have helped a lot of people. I'd humbly suggest starting with those. Give them a watch and feel to ask any questions, I'll do my best to help.

Reset the size bar! I have a full series of no-mod building tips videos, the first two cover how to reset the size bar. It can have major negative effects if you are not careful so make sure to watch both videos in full to avoid problems! ru-vid.com/group/PLNSrHbtEeFpUNvRds2fopb4x3n9W1erAh

There is a playlist for building tips on the channel if that helps.

I do have the tips and tricks playlist here on the channel, they are mostly introductory videos for building beginners. Although I said there wouldn't be any more tips videos, over time they have proven to be quite popular so I would like to add more. I also planned for a weekly build-a-long live stream so people could follow along and see how I build a settlement up over time. It was going to be on Spectacle Island and I planned to have viewers vote on what to build next.

Thanks! This is something I have been thinking of adding to future builds. Anyone else want to see build tutorials?

@@FalloutPBCplease!

@@rang3r551 Thanks! Tutorials have not been possible with my current setup but if the channel gets enough support I'll invest in some better equipment.

Yeah this was back in my Xbox One days. It maybe interesting to tour this on XBSX with the update.
