How to Get Rich from Manufacturing 💰 Fallout 4 No Mods Shop Class 

Hey all, be sure to check out the sequel vid where this entire process has been fully-automated: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ms_WK8OSroA.html

watching in 2024 💪

Yo this guy brings out the full nostalgia of 2014 RU-vid not super loud all the way though the video actually doesn’t want to copy other peoples content and actually cares about the content he’s making

Me a couple months ago: Uninstalls Fallout 4 for Fallout 76 release *watches Fallout 76 reviews Reinstalls Fallout 4

"We won't go THAT extreme..." - switches to a higher caliber weapon -

Literally making loot boxes.

If you wanna make tons of money in Fallout 4, jet and water are the key to success (Companies and criminals already figured that out in real life). Build as many industrial water purifiers as you can in Sanctuary and/or really anywhere with a large water source (The Castle works too). All the excess water goes into your workshop in the form of bottled, purified water. You can get hundreds of bottles worth thousands of caps every few days or so. You can pretty much bankrupt every trader with each load, or find a weapons dealer and convert your water into weightless ammo and fusion cores. As for the jet, scavenge a ton of plastic, and build a trough for Bramin at the settlements they show up at. These seemingly useless cows will fill your workshops with fertilizer. Use your chem lab to make tons of low-weight, high-value jet (all you need to make it is fertilizer and plastic). Sell it to vendors and congrats, you're now a successful drug lord. And with Addictol, feel free to get high on your own supply (just not in front of Piper, Preston, and the other straight-edge companions). Follow one of or both of these strategies and you'll have more ammo and money than you'll know what to do with.

30 seconds into the video I told myself “oh it’s 22 minutes long, I’m not gonna watch the whole thing”, and it was so interesting that I watched the whole video. This guy knows how to talk and keep it interesting, lol.

I love how he uses his settlements as a set for his videos, like he decorates Jamaica plain as if it's his own personal RU-vid studio

I got rich robbing the raiders and gunners.

Fun - but you can multiply the value of your steel by 8 by just having Chemist 1, making it into poisoned caltrops. 1 steel is worth 1 cap, 5 of them make 1 poisoned caltrop worth 40. It is less 'cheat'ish and a lot faster.

Anyone else from 2024 on a new playthrough because of the show? It me

I noticed that after you recycled the lunchboxes, the one that dropped a new prize was the only lunchbox that, when highlighted, gave you the option to take it. So if you only try to open the recycled boxes that give you the take prompt, you should be able to speed up this process by quite a bit.

What about calling your patreons "honor roll students"?

What an insanely humble RU-vidr. That's a rare thing to see on this platform! Your personality paired alongside the FO4 content makes this channel awesome! I hope to see you continue stuff like this with Fallout 76! You earned a new sub, tonight, my man!

Literally spent my last entire week worth building the ultimate settlement (without mods: besides no build limit). Love this game still 2021 💪

Can also turn them into bottlecap mines, worth more from vendors

I see all that plastic and all I think is: "hey, that's some Jet right there!" Seriously, getting plastic out of those lunchboxes is probably the best part of this setup.

I really appreciate these videos... I'm completely new to the fallout series, never really got into it. But I absolutely love fallout 4. Playing it for the first time right now

I just had to pause this video 7 mins in to comment on how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the editing and dialogue. Quality stuff.

Out of all the fallout 4 channels, you are in my Top 3 favorite's. It's a breathe of fresh air to see someone who can just appreciate the base game for what it is, with very little complains ever. Also. You're creativity with the settlement materials is basically unmatched.. Great job! 👍👍

Man! This is the coolest thing I've seen with manufacturing. I got rich by selling clean suits, I have about a million caps, so I won't be doing this for profit. But I will definitely be doing this to farm Robot Models until I have enough to display a table-top model Army. Thanks so much for teaching this Prof. Paul. You're the very best!!

I love this game and all the surprises that can be discover. Thanks for taking a moment showing this stuff dude! Cheers

I had made a heavy weapons production line a little while back. I had accumulated a fuck ton of resources and had stored them. I built a production line in the Mechanist’s layer, and set up the machines to build heavy weapons. I made 800 mini guns, 300 fat mans, and over 12000 assault rifles. Five years later, I still have them to sell because most vendors don’t carry more than 1000 caps at a time.

Ice Cold Quantum was my favorite. A great way to maximize this is to disarm Tin Can traps. Each one gives you 9 cans, which is 18 steel, for 6 lunchboxes. Dump all the cans into your press and enjoy.

Skooled hit my list again, so glad the renewed fallout love is helping these old videos get lit back up!

Thank you. I've been looking for a practical use for this application at the Mechanist's Lair which I thought would be the perfect place for production/processing factory. Vault-Tec lunch boxes! I could imagine common Joes of the wastes needing these as they toil and spin at their assigned settlements. Ingenious!

I know it's years later but I just found your content recently and been having a blast learning!

I would never have thought of that. That's why I love your channel.

OMG Paul this was a great video!! Thank you, I never thought of this. Absolutely awesome video!

Oh my, I'm on a survival playthrough and this, this could be good for getting bottlecap mines - explosives are ludicrous at the best of times, in survival they're practically essential.

I remember seeing a vid about 6 months ago (when I first started playing) using lunchbox manufacturing for caps, but he didn't open the lunch boxes first. Still a great tip for those of us that stick with no mods. Glad to see you're still at it. Also love the loot drop bin ideas.

Hey Paul, you could setup a conveyor loop with a diverter that keeps lunch boxes on the loop and stores all other items. Put a conveyor laser tripwire that activates the stationary gun trap positioned to shoot the boxes. Dont know if paintballs work to open the lunch boxes, but if they do, now you would have no ammo cost and a fully automated process to farm items from lunch boxes! Gonna try it after I get my contest build submitted to you in the next day or two.

I've been doing this using the recycler from manufacturing extended and I've only gotten 4 duds out of 30 lunchboxes. I put them through the recycler at least 6 times and got prizes on every opening. Great idea thanks!

trully humble i can see your efforts to do a original content im glad to see there's still people like you! By the way, nice video bro!

I love your enthusiasm for this game. Most people are negative regarding Fallout 4, not you. I also thoroughly enjoyed this game. Keep up the great content m8. 👍🏻👍🏻

I've been working on the same thing. From what I've seen, lunch boxes found in the wastes have better loot than those mass produced. Also: turrets, traps, mortars and enemies cannot open these lunch boxes for you but settlers CAN. I hope the skooled zone can do what I'm trying and make a video with lunch boxes moving into the firing lanes of settlers before traveling onward toward the sorters (forks, knives, spoons becoming new boxes.) It works, sort of, but skooled zone could take this one mod-free to the house. Hint: use glass warehouse walls to keep the boxes on the line

Another great video. Please keep doing this Paul

Keep up with this great Content! I'm still playing Fallout 4 and since 76 isn't any good, I will be playing 4 for another few years.

In my first ever playthrough back in 2015 without dlcs I had 80k + caps just by looting and selling

You can absolutely reuse them constantly, they just don't always repair with one pass through a hopper... works better with a conveyer to a sorter, to a storage, to a hopper... The more times it passes through something like that, the more chances it has of being fixed, and if you set it up like a firing range, you can sort the lunchboxes to recycle, while the prizes go to the prize collection storage... set it up with a laser detector, connected to a counter, so you can keep track of your score.

I couldn't help myself. I had to become a Patron on Patreon. Keep up the good work!

For those without DLC, like my current PC version of Fallout 4 (planning on getting the DLC somewhat soon), you can do purified water and vegetable starch (adhesive) using tato, corn and mutfruit. Plants regrow every ingame day with a cell reset, so just fast travel (or walk/vertibird if in Survival mode) away and then back.Water can be mass produced by having several large industrial purifiers in a settlement with a small pond, lake, river or the Atlantic Ocean available, such as Murkwater Construction Site, The Castle, Sanctuary, Spectacle Island or Taffington Boathouse. The workshop will have purified water slowly added to its inventory, and you can farm adhesive in the same settlement if you really wanted to. I'd do it at Spectacle Island, and have all but two or three settlers as farmers, and the two or three as guards and artillerymen, with a security force mostly bolstered by turrets. It should be a settlement you visit often and can check the workshop inventory for water and pick the food off of the plants, as well as a cooking station, campfire spit or stove to make the starch.

Thanks to you and your videos, I found out that ammo can be made. I've been playing Fallout 4 for about a year now, but it wasn't until this video that I found out ammo can be made. Thank you for your time and videos, I truly appreciate them.

Paul, Remember too that if you have scavengers stands in each of your settlements then I'm sure you will not need to purchase steel. In fact I was thinking about increasing each of settlements to 2 scavenger stands instead of 1. Excellent video as always.

Very helpful, keep up the awesome work!

This was the first time I watched one of your videos - I'm not a mechanical kind of person, and I never even envisioned being able to manufacture stuff like this. Oh sure, I build stuff with the workbenches all the time, but to set up a manufacturing scenario - very cool! Big thumbs up from me!

I get my Xbox today and I look forward to this. You do a good job Skooled and have given me plenty of ideas. I'll probably get every settlement and build before I complete all the missions. The first thing you get is Preston giving you settlement options.

Video logic: "How to make a lot of money real quick?" "Vegas baby!"

But selling the boxes would yield 10 caps (for a cost of 3 steel) each, on top of the "prizes" in each box. Doesn't that add to the value?

This guy is such a cool guy, plays my fave game, has such good charisma, is pleasant to watch and is very polite. You've earned my subscription man keep these videos up!

I actually learn something new from every one of your videos 👍🏼🏆👏🏼

Always instructional, informative and entertaining! My FO4 experience has been enriched beyond compare and my playtime extended perhaps immeasurably! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I made billions with water

You're a genius! And every time you reveal something that you can open the lunchboxes its so funny idk why lol.

This is amazingly helpful I didn’t know you could open the manufactured lunch boxes

Shared your vid, on Fallout 4 Settlement Building facebook page. Guy was asking how to get more money. hehe. I get notification this morning for your vid, 5 mins later see his question. haha when it works it works hehe 😀

couple questions 1 have you ever loaded the unopened lunchboxes without opening them first to see if it may give better prizes 2 can you load the used lunchboxes into your steel and reuse them to build more items ?

you take me back to better times ...i wish i could donate but since i cant i want to thank everyone that does, with their money and your hard work we get an awesome result. Imagine,they say that humans are not altruistic by nature.I have the luxury to call bullshit on that. keep making those vids mate

First time watching one of your videos. Just wanted to say you seem like a really genuine person.

You can tell which ones are duds because they don't give you the option to take them.

Could call your patreon teaching assistants Whats your luck at? Im wondering if it has anything to do with the odds of whats inside. I remember your luck playing a part in the preserved pie claw machine. Also i dont think the lunchbox takes up weight. If it dont, unlimited ammo for the junk jet maybe?

I’ve got to say, I did learn this from another video a long time ago but I still watched all the way through and still loved it.

I love this video because it's an amazing way to make money and actually makes a lot of sense for the backstory of my OC

13:34 Ahh yes, the classic four pronged spoon!

When your done getting your stuff out of the lunchbox put them in a auto Bucher and get your steel back

holy crap. I just found this video, and had NEVER touched the manufacturing stuff in my settlements, but I'm going to go try this when I get home tonight from work!

if i may add to this great info; you can increase the speed of not the Builders but production overall by making a row of Builders, then connect them all up, with Splitters, to a faster speed of uptake/output from the Vacuum Hopper [the hopper 'turned up'] - that way, each Builder will still be the same speed of course, but if you are putting out materials (Junk) into 1,2,3,4,5,etc Builders in a row, even if they are outputting a little after one another and still at a slower pace per machine - you'll still have a nice huge output filing out one by one from your row of Builders. Mass production! great video thanks again

Great series bud!. Thx for all the knowledge bro, the skoolz has made me love this game all over again! Can't wait for the next one, TRULY great work as per sir, sub for life!.👍

Wow your graphics are amazing!

Thanks for doing this for us. Really interesting stuff!

Awesome tips and tricks ive seen a few of your vids and instantly subbed. Awesome content and i really enjoy your positive attitude.

Dude, you are delightful, and damn this is a neat trick. Kudos.

After watching it a few times, i noticed you can tell the dud from the full ones becouse it asked you to " (A) Take" it, all the duds never prompted you to take them again. See time on vid of 18:48 at that point he is wacking the duds and the only one to have something is the one that prompted him to take it.

I have been looking for this! Will check out your automatic version too!

This manufacturing made me redo my whole game .. I’m loving this!! I can’t wait!

Maybe you haven't got many subscribers but you got loyal ones. That is the most important thing.

I couldnt tell ya the countless number of times i was unable to grab a lunchbox while exploring cuz it opened prematurely. But i never connected the dots. This is really clever Paul. I thought u went loco 4 a sec when u were setting them up all neat like. But this is clever. And i can tell u ive never heard of this. Never crossed my mind. Genius. Bravo 👏 Edit: i was gunna say, whaddya think about a bunch of 'em in a makeshift hopper n a grenade? Should open a few dozen right? Maybe...

Hi Paul Great tips. I've never really got the hang of creating multiple accessories to manufacture items. I do have a Builder making VT boxes as they weigh 0, so obv can carry loads around, but...I never knew you could smash them open. I must've sold hundreds. My set up is always Builder, Storage, Power, Go. I am keen on expanding so gonna check out your automated vid. I must admit it looks way cooler. I watched a vid on a huge automated factory and was blown away, no way could I do that! Need a degree in "CleverTwattyBuildaFactory" . Cheers

I have been playing this game on and off since release. Had no idea you could do this.... i feel stupid. Good stuff bro. I know I'm late to the show, but i dig it.

Lunchboxes sell for around 10 caps depending on both your Charisma and Perks

A good game for fallout like the ones in nuka world would be to have lunchboxes lined up on a shelf and having a conveyor belt taking the prizes to the winner...i'm going to work with it a bit tonight.

You had so much fun with this and it makes me so happy

I ... NEVER... thought of this. This looks hilarious, fun, genius, everything. LOL Literally - well played, Skooled. LOL

Thats actually pretty funny and effective xD Nice video man and i also like your chill voice! Say hi to your new sub! :D

This will be great for survival when I’d rather not go scavenge for caps in containers. Thanks Paul! #GetRichQuick

Best video I've ever seen about a video game, hands down

That Benny Hill music NEVER gets old. Not ever! Love it.👍

at one point you can have all money from shops if you do it the shops can"t update with new staff i convert all my caps too bullets for my gun i use then if a want something i trade bullets for weapon or armor

getting rich in MUCH much less effort = just sell all the purified water your settlement generates and you get more caps in trades with npcs than you need

I subbed. You are awesome bro! Do not stop with the content

This is SO cool!! Ive always liked opening the lunchboxes i might even do this for the dopamine rush alone lol

2021 and I'm still watching Fallout 4 tutorials lmao

The prizes from them are news tho, nice job sir 👍👍

My jaw DROPPED when they got repaired in the hopper, SO COOL!

i LOVE this video man! thanks for the guide, could you make a video on how to mass scrap or just how to scrap things faster without mods? please? :D

you could call your patrons your honor students. Note that plan on becoming a patron myself soon. Although what you call your patrons will not affect that.

Paul, You could keep naming the Patreons as the Varsity Team since it goes well with the Hall of Fame board. You could also name the people that promote the channel as Crossing Guards/Bus Drivers because they direct viewers/traffic to the channel and, if you ever have moderators for your channel, they could be named the Star Athletes. I like the Varsity Team and Crossing Guards/Bus Drivers ideas the best since they are learning along with the rest of us but they are also doing more for the channel than the average viewer like myself. Sincerely, Jennifer M. Montgomery

Very informative watch, I recently started playing FO4 again after 4 years not touching it.

There is a way to guarantee 100% recycled prizes with the Vault Tec lunch boxes. I made a loop going from builder to conveyor storage, then vacuum hopper to a conveyor belt lift which drops the lunch boxes on the starting conveyor. This leaves a space where you can stand between the lift and the start of the conveyor to shoot vault tech boxes as they drop. The way it works is that the builder will repair the lunchboxes and just hold them, along with any prizes that were liberated on the starting conveyor. 1, You then take the repaired boxes from the builder inventory into personal inventory, all prizes are reset as they become a new instance. 2. Then transfer the lunchboxes from Misc Inventory to the conveyor storage unit. 3. The vacuum hopper then auto splits individual lunchboxes and sends them to the lifter so they can drop back onto the start to be shot one by one. Bonus: If the prizes contain 3 or more steel, the builder will make an additional lunchbox automatically and send it to through the entire loop. so you have cumulative increases in the number of lunchboxes you can recycle. Increase efficiency: The whole factory fits on a 3X3 grid. On the inside you can have any crafting station and a place to store all the food prizes. Then you grab all from the builder, deposit all junk into the crafting station. and the few food items into the refrigerator to keep the builder inventory clean. Also, if you can gather the boxes, like on rollers, you can destroy all of them with a single shot from a weapon with the explosive legendary effect. Why its awesome: 1. No crafting skill or charisma needed. 2. Generating stuff out of nothing or just steel scrap from Raider weapons to start. 3. You get lots of baseballs and cutlery, so unlimited resource for cork, steel and plastic. 4. If you don't want to expend ammo, you can have a stop switch for the conveyor, then bash them or use a melee weapon. A switch blade does nicely. Limitation: So far, I have not found a way to auto destroy the lunchboxes. You can have a blade trap that will cross the conveyor, but it just pushes the lunchboxes around. Since no manufacturing happens unless you are physically in the settlement, this is not that disastrous.
