Fallout 4: Taffington Boathouse Settlement Build - Lets Build a Business | Infinite Caps No Cheating 

In the 90’s, my father watched Bob Vila to learn how to do projects he’d never undertake. In the 2020’s, I’m watching RU-vid videos on how to do post apocalyptic community building in video games I’ll never undertake. Kind of beautiful really. Lovely video.

you must need a small loan of a million steel for this one

Water is a reasonable saleable product in the Commonwealth BUT, it has some downsides. It sells for very little, it's heavy to cart around, the initial outlay on purifiers and power sources is expensive in caps and material and if you are playing survival, you're going to be drinking a fair bit of that water to survive. Well, until you are putting in multiple industrial units at suitable settlements or your rad resistant perk is earned. So what's better? Drug dealing and manufacturing. Put loads of Brahmin troughs out at all your settlements. Buy Brahmin off of Kelly. Brahmin troughs make fertiliser, fertiliser plus plastic makes jet. You can make around 4-5000 caps worth of Jet every three days. You can walk around with 8000 caps worth of jet in your pocket and not really damage your weight capacity. And manufacturing Jet earns you experience. Making water does not, bar what you get building the purifiers and generators.

this is fucking genious. Ive been fighting like hell to figure out wtf to do with that stupid house.

Lol, 4 purifiers. I have about 35 in the river in sanctuary.

Just started playing fallout 4, and cant believe how big and great this game is. A true masterpiece.

The scaffolding from the contraption dlc makes nice guard towers. Realistic looking and easily modifiable.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE RAVE IN THE BACKGROUND. WHAT DID YOU SAAAAY

I thought I was being generous building these guys a few beds.... then along comes this powerhouse building a fortress. lol I'm late to the game, only started 3 weeks ago but I've got 150 hours in and loving every minute.

Thank you for the suggestions and help. I was able to put concrete wallls, and make a whole walk walkway inside using barn stuff. I also used smaller grates flooring from the barn section to add in more purifiers.

I think we need to appreciate the spatial understanding this guy has to snap on the fence with the flooring that was nearly pixel perfect with the dock of the house.

Your Fallout 4 Build series is the best of all I've seen. Concise and to the point technique. Smooth camera. No jerky chicken head shots. No distracting changes during demo. No babbling about how cool it is, or intense storyline saga. Just By far, superior to any Fo4 build tutorials out there!

Every Australian guy should use the word "crikey" at least once in each video they make. That is all.

The background music is pretty annoying :/

Taffington Boathouse in my opinion is not really an ideal place to build massive purifiers mainly because the settlement is too small. Sanctuary Hill is a good place to mass purifiers easily. Also you can max out the water production to 999. That will give you around 757-777 waters give or take. With that amount of water you can easily buy out couple of merchants easily.

entire video: fortify settlment, build mass water purification plant, sell water.

Thanks for taking the time to do these. I never really copy your stuff, however your a great source of inspiration and I always learn a thing or two. Keep it up!

1.6k dislikes are from a certain Diamond City Businessman er.. Kid who sells water. 😏

Great video - gave me lots of ideas, not just the setting up a business part, but the process of making tidier power systems and guard towers. Thanks!

I love how simple the designs are and how great they look. subscribed. good job man.

very impressive video editing skills! great video

very detailed, very organized. Loved it, just subbed

That Base Rocks, man, opened up my Imagination so much more by this vid, thanks

I salute you for your amazing building skills and dedication to this base.

I wish I had your building skills.

Love your creativity with vanilla Fallout. Subbed.

Your narration is really good, you detail every step you take so the audience have a clear understanding. well done

Loved the video. That build mechanic can be difficult and you made it look so smooth. 👍

I have 12 settlers at my Boathouse + the guy that's there when you find the place. It's surrounded by turrets around the perimeter. I've never set any walls up but there's 125 defense. I have 4 large purifiers, 3 in the water next to the house & 1 inside the "boat garage". My boathouse has never once been attacked & I'm level 128. I've given all my settlers snubnose .44's which I've made via a manufacturing plant & also given them 50 ammo each, also made via manufacturing plant (manufacturing I've set up at Abernathy coz it's so huge!) All settlers also have ballistic weave outfits. So all in all, as long as the defense is good enough & the settlers are capable of defending themselves, the chances of being attacked are extremely low. If you are attcked, get there asap & immediately take the foods, waters and caps out of the workshop so they don't get stolen.

I thought i was the only one who makes a room for the generators

I just decided to settle in this boathouse 3 days ago after starting a new character (weapon x melee/sneak/sniper special forces build) and only put 3turrets up and fixed the roof. This is a brilliant idea and will try! Thanks for idea!

Love the design. I Only have with the game originally came with so it’s nice to see someone with a design that has all the pieces that I can put together as well

just some sugestions for the ones that does not want to waste space on energy generators, use carpets to stack them in each other, also you can do the same with water purifiers and move them to the ground, so you can use other places like sanctuary , or any other that has a lil water on it

Huge, gigantic TL;DR, make water purifiers..

I keep coming back to this video and rebuilding it in all my new playthrus whenever I come back to fo4, but I keep using new pieces and evolving it in my own way :)

Dang man this is ridiculously detailed. Love it. Subbed.

I once fixed that roof took me 3 days but it finally looked like a house

This is fucking smart.

Outstanding video! There are a ton of ideas that I can't wait to try.

I learned a lot about FO4 building tactics; did not know how to stack a foundation on top of another. Very useful.

Thank you, I loved this build and pretty much copied it but just with a few minor changes. It really wouldn't let me put that damn generator shed in that spot so I built a warehouse there instead and it ended up looking pretty good anyway.

I've made Taffington Boathouse look a little like this. The only differences are that the walls are made out of concrete and the generators in the electrical shed were replaced with the new Fusion Generator added in Wasteland Workshop. Still, it looks mostly the same. Good job :)

great idea i’ve done the water “store” build on a few but never the taffington settlement. i made a multi level power and water warehouse at sanctuary but i’d like to add some more to make it profitable. cheers thanks for the idea.

you are REALLY good at this, obviously takes a ton of practice. very entertaining video

You make building so easy - wish I could build that fast & that great 💕

Great design. I personally just use the Castle and use the back. Putting 10 Industrial back there gets you around crazy money back. I will say if you're trying to make tons of money doing this don't use the General Store. Gun Store gives out the most caps and the Clinic gives out the second highest. Both are about the same.

Your abilities with the settlements is astounding. Yes, yes, infinite caps (though I find it impossible NOT to have infinite just by vendoring all the armor/weapons I get from walking around) but it's the way you actually get things to snap into place and the vision to see "this should go here" that impresses me with the videos. I also had no idea the water purifiers did anything other than make the settlers happy to have water lol

This is way too clever! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

PS4 Here and I LOVE your designs brother they are really good. I've been working on the Drive In Theater myself. made a huge settlement there but only able to put in Two water purifiers there. but I have 6 different high end shops so I make pretty good caps between everything. but thinking about mimicking this design slightly. thanks for the design ideas!

This is awesome!!!!! SO Impressed!!

the level 2 water purifier (the small one) can also produce water, but in smaller amount. sometime if a big one cannot fit in certain water area, a small one will usually do the trick. In this video he left lots of gap between the big purifiers. Those gaps can be fill with smaller water purifiers to help produce water. I also find out you can build one smaller water purifier inside the boat house. and couple more right beside it. But this settlement is small! There are so much water purifier you can placed.

I love settlement builds in places like Taffington Boathouse or Hangman's Alley because the idea of turning a house or alleyway into an impenetrable fortress just scratches an itch in my brain

nobody: meth users: builds fortified water purifier base in fallout 4

shit music would have been fine with just his voice

thank you! yes! it seems like every time i want to watch a settlement build, its already finished at the start of the video, and im not looking for a tour

It looks nice. From a gameplay perspective though I'd be worried about having turrets by the 'front door'. The enemies spawn right in the roadway. More spawn north of the place on the dirt ridge overlooking the waterside shed; usually bringing up the Bloodbugs from the canal when they do. So for a minor tweak I'd probably shift the front fence back one pre-fab wall. Then I'd put the turrets on top of the merchant stalls, allowing them view and space to shoot whatever was in the road. Turrets on top of the waterside shed help too, explosive type helps put down the Bloodbugs.

I am Preston Garvey, and I approve of this message

I use Kingsport lighthouse and run it with robots to farm vegetables and also the new water pump that you can use on dirt plus if you place heaps of storage and get a scrapper station or two the storages occasionally refill with more junk and therefore no people and no food consumption plus an unlimited source of adhesives and money to pay for shipments and parts to build even more

i know this video is 5 years old but i've only just come across it and it gave me some fun ideas so, nice work and thanks!

I did a similar thing at the nordhagen beach settlement. It has about 600 water and 100 food. One good thing about purified water farms is you can then use that and crops to make adhesive in the cooking stations

Can you get rid of the obnoxious music

One of my favorite setlements early game, i never had the idea to make mass water production here but it looks very good, it's small but easyly buildable and defendable without cheat. I will do that on my new survival game in F4VR, thanks ;D

Very well done video. Great tutorial and editing :)

love this build, I had no idea what to do with this settlement!

"Infinite Caps No Cheating" That's an oxymoron...

I can't connect the the walls there is a dead cow in the way

bro I couldn't build nothing that looked satisfying. you really helped me get an idea. thanks man. you got real useful ideas and tips

You have made my day! This helps me heaps! Your talent for building makes others look like noobs this is a excellent idea 💡 for this settlement I knew it was based here for something lol you also have given me some unbelievable ideas of my own now top vid bro keep up the great work👍

Are you using build everywhere? Because it never worked for me

Build a business? Or watch some guy remodel a settlement? Building tips are alright, but not what the title suggests.

The slick business plan here is almost a throwaway on what is really a smart effortless build tutorial, which shows off some really neat results without all the usual 15 story towers supported only by a single staircase. still a good plan as well ofc

Excellent video. Very informative and efficiently done. Thanx much! I learned a lot.

funk man that's some real good designing

This music really kicks the shit out of the atmosphere, just play some fallout friendly songs in the background, very quietly. Wouk be a lot fucking better dude. Otherwise pretty good video man

Saw this and am totally implementing into my settlement. Great job

Wow and I’m here getting exited over starting a tiny water purifier that actually works.

Great vid, I'm definitely going to try this! Does the money generated by your stores automatically go into your inventory or do you have to do something to access it first?

I used suspended boxcars and floorings on the water to make something like a floating city. Snapped balconies and walls to boxcars to make them lived in and railings so nobody would fall. Unfortunately it ate all of my build size and I am stuck with great idea with no means of implementing it...

So friggin, awesome!

Awesome job on the settlement. Thanks for sharing!

There is a dead cow at mine and I can't move it

Is that an Australia accent I hear TLK by the way your the best youtuber ever

Nice built brother! I was stuck not knowing what to do with this settlement.

I don't play Fallout 4 but I'm really into building stuff like this, so satisfying !!

watching these because I'm 200 hours into fallout 4 and haven't built anything is there a trick to putting doors inside I notice you can't have a wood door frame with roofs around it

How? Just, how?

you my friend are smart, 1:50 i never thought of doing that to get them perfectly in line

Awesome build! I even learned a few building tricks as well. Great video! :)

how do you have so much material to waste on those teeny tiny cracks that mean nothing ????? you must also be an perfectionist

Do you think fallout should add multiplayer? You could show off bases, build massive forts, and fight to the death!!

I like how he says, fresh water around. I Wouldn't want to drink that water. Good video dude. Gave me some inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻

I was asleep and clicked on this video and I’m glad I did

You keep saying "resourceful" that word doesn't mean what you think it means. You are looking for "resource intensive"

“Infinite caps no cheats” *Uses infinite resources*

Awesome idea, setting up and video explaining/showing! Thanks!!!!

I am New to the birth as no world this video as opened up a whole new level for what I can do in the game. This video has inspired me to do a lot more building in my game Thank you😁😁😁

You'll get purified water every 72 minutes of gameplay. Sleeping or waiting in a chair don't count. A more on-demand cash solution is melon farming.

People like you bother me. You spend a large amount of time on aesthetics for some stuff, then cheap out for other stuff. I'm twitchin here. lol

Good to see a fellow Aussie is making a popular/helpful video And I'm going try my best to copy this but I'm doing it with nuca world so the guards will be raiders and the merchants and farmers will be settlers and I'm also going to try to use concrete walls and the barn for the shedding Great vid definitely a like and subscribe

Neat build. Thanks for the cool layout. I like it!!
