Invisible Wiring Across Your Entire Settlement ⚡ Fallout 4 No Mods Shop Class 

4 years later, I still play fallout 4 but i never watched any settlement building tips until now.. thank goodness i found this class

Almost 2023 nd this guy is still teaching ppl new things. Lol I just found out about this channel month ago nd damn am I learning a lot to help this settlements I'm building. I'm still not really good at any of them except the rug glitch nd idk but I can never get the pillar glitch to work for me when I select all, but I'm sure I'll get it down some day. Thanks for making these awesome videos, hope you accomplished your goal of being able to do RU-vid fulltime.

One thing I like to do is to set up sub-centrals, i. e. conduits in various places in a settlement which I then connect to the main conduit. I then connect everything in that area to the sub-central. It saves me having to run all the way back to the main one every time, especially in larger settlements.

It's June 27, 2024, and I'm about a month into Fallout 4 (GOTY) for PS4. I picked it up at a Gamestop for about $10. I'm hooked, having fun, and having a great time. I found your channel and will have to redo my previous settlements and use your tips, tricks, and excellent ideas on all my next settlements. Thanks for your great content.

Saying “field trip” and other stuff like that enhances your videos so much lol

I seriously appreciate your video. I only recently learned of the true wire glitch, but I never thought of using it to run wires underground/out of sight. I couldn't stand having all those conduits and pylons and wiring all over the place JUST to get the settlement lit. I will ALWAYS use this method from now on in all my settlements. Thank you for Skooling this adult.

2 ads for 20 minutes? You sir have earned my respect!

Thank you so much for these videos, I just started playing Fallout 4 after years of Skyrim plays because I wanted to try the settlement builds and the " wires everywhere" annoyed the heck outta me. You do such a wonderful job teaching.

That made my day when you use the Benny Hill music. I could no stop laughing thinking about the show. Thanks for the info on the wire glitch.

You make the all time most enjoyable to watch RU-vid videos.

There needs to be a mod where whenever you engage in melee combat that scene from "the cable guy" starts playing and when your character hits it makes the noise Jim carry makes.

I usually run streetlights around my settlements and I use them to connect the building lights and run power across the roofs. Definitely not as clean but gets the job done.

12 minutes in, and I still don't have any idea how you are hiding wires??? Is there some point in this video where you actually explain how this is done? Because "stare at the wire" isn't working.

10:33 I hate that piece of fence with a burning rage

I've watched this video several times but I can't figure out how to get the wire to go invisible, it made so much sense when I watched it yesterday:(

Omg this is so brilliant. I don't know why I didn't think of this. I would love to see a shop class about how you'd do power through vault 88 (since the power runs through the floor). I'm building my vault and running into weird glitches where things aren't lighting up and should be.

so , i am tots watching these out of sequence, you basically set up the parameters for the wire distance by attaching it close to the origin point, then glitch it by grabbing the wire and moving it way past the point it should. Awesome

I've been building settlements forever, but I don't know a thing about electrical stuff IRL, so my settlements look awful with wires hanging everywhere, running zig zag in the weirdest places, lol. Love your videos in general for all the cool ideas, but especially bc I learn what to do with the electrical bits! :)

Never knew it was possible to do this, can't wait to make my settlements look much cleaner

I am screaming right now. I had 30 settlements looking like absolut trash because of all the crazy wiring! Why didn't I check out your channel 2 months ago?!?!?

This vid REVOLUTIONIZED my settlement building. Thanks, man. +500 cool points for you.

1:04 - Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has left them there.

Love he Benny Hill music when you sped up the video and the little skooled bus. Well done Paul, awesome lesson as usual!

I was thinking about subscribing and hearing Yakkity Sax pushed me over. Nice touch! *chef's kiss*

Great video dude. I'm definitely going to do this with my settlements. I like the fact you didn't cut the video on Spectacle Island and the music gave it a comical feel. You have a great channel and I hope it continues to grow.

This helped me emensly, pardon my grammar. I plan to use this extensively in my next play through thank you so much

Great vid man. And I am glad we finally got to take a ride on the skooled bus 😉

I know this is an old video but I recently started playing this game again and could not remember how to do this. Thanks.

A quick note on wire length: the game lets you initially string it to any length you like, but the engine will often "forget" longer wires on cell load--from testing, it starts getting iffy around 200 yards or so. The wires don't go away; they just stop working. Easy enough to fix--just pick up and drop the attached conduit to remind the game there's a wire there and it resets.

I knew this trick, but it never occurred to me to apply it quite like this. I like the realism of generators and pylons, but practically adding and using power can lead to some really ugly configurations. So I think I'm going to start wiring my settlements like this instead. Cheers.

Macready always gets the Silver Shroud outfit. Always.

Hi Paul, I watched a lot of your videos and now I finally subscribed your channel. Thank you for all tips and tricks, it makes settlement building much more enjoyable. And I probably wouldn't know about this wire glitch without your video. I can now take my time making the Vault 88 settlement a better place, because right now it is totally ugly there. :) Thanks again!

You've made my day at 3:00 in the morning! :D

Great way of using the wire glitch. I never thought of running all the conduits underground so that you didn't see them. But i made my more of a feature on my building. Hopefully i'll have it completed soon and then i can show you my full building.

I just started playing again.....lol had to enroll in your class again. I love your tips man

I can't unhear Matthew McConaughy when you get real into it, your videos are awesome. :D

All your videos are making the part of the game I dislike the most a lot easier!!!

That is on of the coolest findings in F4 for now. Even in 2024

I wanted to let you know something about the fence outside the building area. Before a certain patch I was able to hold the A button on a single piece of fence and pull all of that fence back into the settlement build area. I have a suspicion, I haven't tested yet, that if you get the issue of Picket Fences that allow you to build the fences you can do that still.

I like your choice of music for when you sped up your run across Spectal Island. Yakety Sax is an awesome and catchy tune.

Gotta love that theme song from Benny Hill.

Though it been awhile still have to come to class to reminder

After reading lots of comments about people claiming the "wire glitch" only works underground, I can confirm that it does work above ground too. An example being to wire 2 street lights together using the "wire glitch". Normally there is a limit on how far apart 2 objects can be wired together, this limit is removed when using the "wire glitch", even above ground. The wire does tend to sag quite badly if the street lights are far apart, but it still works. In case you didn't know, once you release Preston from the museum, if you make raider settlements in the commonwealth, Preston will no longer talk to you, and all of the minutemen quests become unavailable. The only way to have the Minutemen and the Raider settlements at the same time, is to leave Preston in the museum until after you have completed all the Raider objectives. He still won't talk to you until after you do "Open Season" and kill the raider bosses, but then the minutemen quests will begin.

That Benny Hill music segment tho… 😂

I love these videos they make me want to try harder on my settlements.

The music is a great touch

Appreciate all the building advice. I'm confused on how there are different build-ables in your workshop menu than I but I have the dlcs. I think the last generator on my list is the windmill one

Loving your lessons man, can't believe I bumped up to them only a few days ago. Are there even boundrys to your creativity?

You can also (on console) click the workshop then click Tilde (the button above tab on your keyboard) then type Scrapall (one word) and scrap everything scrapable at that settlement at one time.. But do it before you build anything as your builds will be scrapped as well..

WOAH MIND BLOWN 💥 😂 GREAT VIDEO!! :)

Sink the little conduit after connecting wires - by using the pole glitch on the conduit. ;)

2023 still in the no.mod shop

I still use this glitch time to time

You're a fracking genius.

How do you get the Super reactor outside of the vault?

For me I like having lamp posts power through there and then under ground as though for me sanctuary is a animal trading hub through a mod

In order to make any settlement a raider vassal, you can not have any companions in it. Therefore, you will have to move Preston if you want Sanctuary

Playing fallout is cool but finding out how it all works is mind blowing at times.

Not sure if you know this but the Industrial Water Pump that only work in water can be pillar glitched onto land after you place them in water...I saw it on another channel.

I love the music pick

There's a mod called DFEP which gives you generators which look like fuse boxes and radiate up to 50 power over varying areas.

Field trip ! Yaaaayyyy !

9:07 if you're using multiple lights/switches make sure to run them all through a terminal so you can control all switches at once instead if having to run to each one. 10:49 as for the stuff like that picket fence. you can get rid of it via console commands. (so still no mods, =D ). open the console (`) and click on the item. then type "disable" and press enter. if you selected the right item, it'll fade. then type "markfordelete" so it'd completely be removed next time that area is loaded. (if you disabled the wrong item, you can just "enable" to bring it back). course this is on pc... on xbox or ps, than no idea 19:46 there is a limit to the length of a wire if you're not using the glitch.

U can always put then electric conduits onto a rug and pillar glitch then into the ground to hide them use the one that go on the floor

I was thinking... Maybe you could do that select all thing to delete that post standing in santuary I'll try it now

loved your videos, lots of useful stuff explained clearly! but it seems you have much more items that you can build, I have a fraction of those availabe in my no mod vanilla version, have you added anything else? for example that huge generator that you have in your no wire video. creators club? or what's the addon?

ive just started the game again to do this couldnt be bothered with going round deleting all the cables im now going to be watching your channel to build in future if you have anything you want to send me links to like a particular video please post them to me thanks.

I'm a pc gamer, and I use mods. Mostly to enhance my building abilities, but nonetheless, I cheat. I've learned quite a bit from your videos. Thank you .

now this is MORE THEN FREAKEN AWESOME!!! THIS IS PURE MAGIC LOL thank you sooooo very much :)

great lesson bro thank you very much

"okay so to do the glitch you just go and look at the thing and do it" ah yes very detailed

The Benny Hill music😂

Sometimes when I'm trying to click on a wire for the wire glitch, I just can't get the wire to spark. Why is that?

I've just started another playthrough and am at 20th level. Still learning and experimenting with new building techniques, thanks to you. You're awesome! 🦾

Your the best dude. Keep up the good work. I know this video is old but what the heck lol.

So chilled

Thanks for the helpful info

man you just da best

Are all of your shop class videos done with the Automatron DLC? I just jumped on the Fallout 4 bandwagon and I’m trying to figure out where you get the special/extra building structures like the pillar and the vault generator. Also how do you get your wires to go so far? Sorry for the noob questions lol.

If you're on PC and want to get rid of things like those fence posts in Sanctuary that you can't scrap, you don't need a mod, you can just open the console with the tilde key, click on the fence post to get it's unique ID number, then type "disable" (without quotation marks) into the console and hit enter, and the fence post will go poof. Have Fun :)!

Wonder if you could add a hollowed rock to cover that one conduit up.

How are the wires so long? Is it proportional to the size of the generator? Or because of the underground glitch?

What is the upbeat jazzy song used for your speed run? I've had a hard time finding it. This is great though I'll definitely have to do this.

@SkooledZone Hey man, I believe you could've carried that wire on Spectacle Island from the conduit to the generator without having to make the trip 3 times. If I'm not mistaken

When putting the vault tech reactor into the jungle gym in sanctuary like you have at the 3:35 mark, i have the wire going underground to the reactor the wire keeps disconnecting how do i keep it connected when putting it under ground?

Is a video of your more finished "Hydroponic Farm" available?

Very informative, thanks! Enjoyed the Benny Hill theme song :)

I'm on Ps4 and I do have one limitation to how far you can run wire. How much copper I have.

Everything I pillar the gen into the ground it disconnects my wire, any advice?

Ur the best place I can get building tips

nice tip paul, sooner or later i will be trying this...but right now i'm all about the raider chic...so clicking the cable negates the length limit between towers...what does it do for cost in copper? oh yeah, i WILL be doing the switched spotlight trick. anyway, do you have a video that features how to go about using railroad cars and scaffolding? i'm working it right now and have a few tricks to make it happen, but any help would be appreciated...nice job as always...stay safe

Really enjoy watching your videos really are very helpful This would be to complicated for my brain to figure it I like the look of the electric wires from pylons and so on , it fit the game criteria of apocalypse world Not 1950's happy America look what people are trying to trying to achieve

2 questions first one is how come I can't get the table lamps to work? The video to show how to do sunken pillers?

How were you able to put a super reactor in sanctuary????? Really loving these vids finally started a new play through for just building and having fun.

Where do u get those tiny wire conduit nobs at? iv only been able to find the regular larger ones

and now you tell me i got cables all over the place its like spaghetti junction over here!!! LOL im just wondering whats those nixie tubes do?

How many of you young'uns know the significance of the song he uses when running across Spectacle Island for the wire length experiment?

I know you’ve stopped doing these videos but I’m having a hard time invisibly wiring croup manor. May I have some assistance

The ungodly amounts of copper required for those wires would have broken lesser men

How did you get the vault tec power supply with 500 energy? I have all the dlcs. The highest I have is the 100 energy one..fusion generator which I believe I didn't have when I first started playing. I'm guessing I need to do something at one of the vaults to get the schematics for it. I'm definitely interested in this video because I'm sick of seeing some wires. I did see in a couple of your videos of you hiding them underground. Genius! I remember when I first learned that you can make power to light bulbs and other things when I got to the castle. I felt pretty dumb for not knowing.
