Fallout 4 Settlement Building Tips and Tricks NO MODS 

What's even more ridiculous is that they OBVIOUSLY didn't have the same limitations when designing the game world. There are so many things in the game that would simply not be possible to build in a settlement. Like the raider camps with perfectly snapped fences.

That's because they build games with an "it's good enough" mindset instead of being thorough with the programming. They really need to take notes from Halo Reach's Forge mode or maybe Halo 5 at most. It doesn't have to be insanely in depth like Infinite's Forge, but at least give the players a good build feature that doesn't force us to use time consuming exploits.

The ability to remove trash and shrubbery would help too.

Did you ever stop to think that this is purposeful? Maybe they made it where we couldnt clip and left the glitches in so we could figure it out ourselves.

@@jackskellingtonsfollower3389 or 7 days to die, or rust, or any game but halo.

Rug glitch must have been patched on Xbox I can't get it to work.

@@justinthompson5190same on PlayStation , maybe the new update ? :(

build ladders high up and then you can look down and see sort of from birds eye views some locations are better than others

Another update coming Monday May 13th.

Seems like those have been patched in the latest update

That's pretty easy to get, I used Hangmans Alley with just 3 settlers, 1 farmer, 1 Doctor, 1 Barman, with both the agility and strength boosting furniture items, 'cos they also increase happiness. The more settlers there are in a settlement, the harder it is to get that achievement.

@@wolfen210959 thanks i'll try that.

I hope this is a haha cause now I'm spooked

I imagine if you are playing on console that there will be some differences, but I've been utilising all of the glitches here, and many more besides, on PC, and never had a problem with a corrupt save file. The only thing I know that will cause problems down the line, is using the exploit to artificially lower your build limit by storing dropped weapons, and only if you over do it, I only lower the build limit once, and only enough to place what I was trying to build, usually only at the Castle, because by the time you've finished repairing the walls, adding the shops, furniture etc, there isn't a lot of space left for defenses. Corrupt save files are almost exclusively caused by mods, usually ones that mess around with the meshes and precombines, Scrap All and Scrap Everything spring to mind, but there are lots of others too, it's not the mods themselves that cause the problem, it's the people who use them and don't understand what they are actually doing to the game, and who tend to go crazy by scrapping things that should not be scrapped.

It's DLC. If you like the building I think the season pass is worth it. Each of the 6 DLCs have some objects. But 3 of them are heavily focused on the workshop. Vault, Contraptions, and Wasteland Workshop are worth a look.

@@MoveTheMouse I don't have the season pass, but I bought all the DLCs, but "creations". Is it maybe in that one?

@@BETMARKonTube Definitely Creation Club content, not DLC.

@@wolfen210959 thank you. Too bad for me, then.

Have you tried the rug glitch shown in the video and just try really hard to line the wall up?

Simply change the position of your character, or put a roof in to give it 2 places to snap to, or press the button to rotate the wall, any one of these tricks will work.

@@dmstites80 The rug glitch is not needed for this, he just wants a snappable object to naturally snap to what it is supposed to. Simply pressing the rotate button will often solve the problem, or just moving the character slightly.

It's one of the Workshop DLCs.

That might be DLC. The season pass is great if you're enjoying the building. Some other items show up once you've done certain things in game. Keep an eye out for "Picket Fences" magazines as these unlock buildings as well.

It’s either DLC stuff you haven’t bought, or it’s something you’ll unlock when you collect the required Picket Fences magazine. There’s guides for all locations of said magazines.

@@MoveTheMouse Great tips, thank you.

@@stanettiels7367 Good to know, thanks.

@@raedjibrail5565 No worries, brother.

Try the default junk fences. They're one of the most commonly used objects for that glitch. The rug glitch does NOT work with any piece that snaps to another.

Be careful of how you use scrap everything, it will break your game by allowing you to scrap things that should not be scrapped. Some of the debris is a part of the game code in such a way that removing it will cause problems with meshes and precombines, and that will bork your save.

Hold A instead of just pressing it when you pick something up.

@@MoveTheMouse thanks

There's a mod that will allow you to get rid of them. Brute force scrapper

@LifeAccordingToMatt yeah I've heard of that. I'm worried mods will mess up my game though and I'm like 50 hours in now 😂

Thanks?

@@MoveTheMouse all quality tricks to know, thanks! Should check out the Skooled Zone video on wireless power, saves from having to run wires around and clip them through walls.

If this was by Skooled Zone, it would be a 45 minute video with 7 minutes of talking before he starts, instead of getting straight to it like this one.

Having things explained by different people at different times who have potentially different audiences is all valuable and helpful. These tools aren't and shouldn't be limited to specific creators who may or may not have explained it first.

I can confirm they are working, Just used them not more than 10 minutes ago on Series X on the latest update.

Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions, Vault Tec, are the ones you're missing.

@@wolfen210959 I have those dlcs

This is recorded on Next Gen Update. Latest update on Xbox Series X.

If you're trying the rug glitch it only works with non snappable items.

Got yaaaaaa

Pro tip, people play on console too. I have a PC and am well aware of the differences in platforms. I create console focused content primarily.

You can, there is a mod that allows you to scrap anything you want to, but it'll break your game, because it allows you to delete the "floor" of the game, which is not a good thing.
