Pristine Covenant Build 🏘️ Fallout 4 No Mods Shop Class 

This dude is literally the Bob Ross of video games

It’s almost perfect...just need to get rid of the original covenant residents 👍

Quick note about the doctor's station. If you end up killing the residents, that doctor's station is still there but is hidden. You can assign a settler to it if you use the Valtec settlement management terminal (or whatever it is called). I discovered it on accident.

Dude the pure joy in your voice when you talk is amazing to listen to. Good job as always.

My reason for siding against Covenant was the evidence that they tortured and killed anyone they suspected to be a synth. Not just synths. I have a character I am playing that Will not side with the Railroad and she will probably side with Covenant. Impressive bulle you have made. I look forward to the buildlessons.

Worst thing about Covenant for me is that if you don't side with the residents, you get control of the settlement but nearly every single thing is "Steal". They're all dead, yet they still have ownership of nearly everything in the town. So annoying.

If you snipe the residents from a distance, i.e. out of turret range, you can lure them out of covenant and kill them without turning the turrets hostile. Afterwards you can claim the town and the turrets will all be in tact and under your control for scrapping/moving/fixing/etc. The bodies will all be outside too and therefore not respond within the settlement. Be sure to purchase the legendary helm in the shop before doing this though! Personally, if you believe synths are sentient, I see siding with covenant as morally wrong regardless of the child's status. They torture people to get their results and have even killed (and tortured) a lot of humansby mistake. I love your video though! Keep up the great work. 😁

You created a piece of Blue Heaven in a dark dystopian future..

I just finished my initial build for Covenant - after wiping out the original inhabitants. Your build is WAY fancier than mine, and amazing as always. The fanciest thing I've done so far is to glitch high-level merchandise and bar counters inside the existing long wooden bar, which took a lot of attempts to look convincing. I'm still considering what to do about the shot-out turrets - maybe put fire barrels up there so the smoke looks more natural... Siding with the original citizens obviously simplifies the build somewhat, but I couldn't morally support them. And hey: They didn't NEED to come out shooting at me! I was disappointed to discover that I had to kill them all, but they left me no choice!

Thanks for all the tips and tricks, especially spawn points for attacks. You have been such an inspiration to building settlements!! It still amazes me that we are playing this game 5+years later and we never get sick of it!

pretty brave putting the preserved pie on the counter

this guy is so wholesome it warms my heart

I love all the positivity and imagination with these videos, it’s like watching someone talk you through their Lego town. So wholesome and fluffy

Never cease to amaze Paul. Definitely dissagree about the people given the success rate of the test and research by means of torture but man did you work those NPC's along with a great build. Thanks for another great video

I love the glitched-in power door! The glitched-in clear weather mortar idea is great too!

You are probably, more than likely, the best No-mod settlement crafter I’ve come across.

You know what would be a cool idea with your silver shroud display? Hide it. Like the batsuit. Have like a hidden area behind a bookshelf or something that you access when you need to bring some justice to the commonwealth! 😂

0:50 How is destroyed look more lore friendly? I've never heard another player claim that. On the contrary I've heard people always joking about how Bethesda is stuck in "3 weeks after the bombs" state. We zoomed past 200 years mark and are only gaining speed! Meanwhile Bethesda doesn't allow us to build a simple log cabin without holes in walls. The ones that were used since antiquity and in which folks live even today. Instead we build from trash. And everybody else in 200 years build from trash. Including ghouls that actually LIVED through those 200 years. Instead they claim that all trees are dead. Apparently we're growing ghost food then. And clay for bricks is also dead, I guess? 200 years is enough time for civiliazation to not only rise, but also fall again. That's what New Vegas has(by accident. It's based on Van Buren after all, but due to that one being abandonned Obsidian decided to just extend the timeline of it to "current" one. Thus we've gotten places and factions other then NCR and BoS that ALREADY have history behind them). Bethesda also fails to recognise the whole spirit behind Wasteland and Fallout. It's not about the fall of civilization, it's about its RISE. Sorry fo this^:D

That bar at the end is some of the dopest shit I've seen using vanilla assets. Amazing, dude.

That's pretty cool you gave Deezer his own Lemonade stand. I think I'm gonna have to steal that idea from ya. I also like to use the Vault floors in my builds. Usually in kitchens and baths. It kinda sucks that they have roof's attached (except the atrium) as that can make them a pain to use at times depending on what you are building. I don't recall seeing that safe before. Perhaps I've just forgotten as it's been a long time since I visited Cove-nant but I'm thinking the truth is you just "Skooled" me. Good work. Looking forward to the next one!

There are no limits to your creativity. I started playing this game not to long ago and i think sometimes i would rather watch your settlement videos instead of playing the game. lol EVERYTHING I've seen you build sparks ideas in my brain and i want to build, build. BUILD.. lol. It takes a lot of time to make things perfect and with no MODs. So i deeply commend you for the time and dedication that it actually takes to do what you do, and on top of that you spend countless hours editing so you can get it to us. I've said it before but, i know that I started this game really really late but thank you again for this video and all your others I've seen on on your channel. I've finally finished the last DLC and I'm about to start building with all of the content and even tho most of the games hype and energy has sizzled/fizzled out. That in no way is going to deter me from making the best settlement EVER.. :) with the help of your videos of course.. But first, I'm going to start on this Covenant area because i didn't do it yet. lol.. Until your next video...

Another excellent build and video! I really enjoyed that. Your enthusiasm shows. I'm going through a lot of your old Fallout 4 videos and am really impressed. It's a great game and you do it justice.

Dude that's amazing, haven't played fallout 4 in a while bout am seriously wanting to get back on after seeing this.. keep up the awesome work

This place is awesome. I like a more rugged look but the way you've built the this settlement doesn't feel out of place at all. Great job!

I actually really like the look of covenant I just don’t like that I can’t edit any of it so I just work up sanctuary Everyone in covenant was completely cool with torturing everyone they thought could be a synth so I have no problem with getting rid of them

I am pretty familiar with the settlement and you did a fair amount of work here. Good job.

He seems to always be happy, makes me feel happy while i watch the video. Such enthusiasm makes me wanna watch more of his videos

21:57 - Awesome idea! Plus - He stays there no matter which choice you make about Covenant, so this is always an option. Love it.

So many great ideas!!! I really love clean settlements and, I think I never finished Covenant's quest because of a glitch so it's nice to know it can become a settlement. I think I might take some inspiration from this video. Really, it's amazing how much creativity you have !!! Keep up the good work !

This was incredibly cool. I didn't even know you could do a lot of that sort of precise item placement.

I saw one of your videos years ago about reroofing Sanctuary and I was really impressed with your DIY spirit, but completely forgot about the channel later on. I'm so glad youtube finally recommended one of your videos again. Subscribed!

This video was completely on point. Lore, game play and a bloody clever load of building. Great work.

I love watching these videos, This guy is always so jolly! He is a true fallout 4 settlement artist! good work

Whoa! Now I want to know how to get that mission to unlock this. Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing. Loving your tips and inspiration!

Its fabulous! As you say Paul: "gotta love it" .. Love the fountain in the middle and the overall great use of your space.. Decoration is on point and I would like to know covenants secrets of keeping gravity normal, as its probably what prevents me from decorating my places. I'm hoping to enter in the competition for the best settlement too.. Much love bro!

I'm a new player and I just discovered your videos. You've made my life so much easier. Thank you for all the work you've done!

Absolutely incredible job. This must have taken *a lot* of time.

love your work man!! mods are cool and all, but this is the true vibe to me. your vids bring alot of inspiration to the game.

Been enjoying this channel immensely since I stumbled upon it the other day. Love the vanilla ingenuity. Just got covenant in this playthrough, so hopefully this gives me some inspiration. I've tried keeping the citizens, but the town's pretty buggy, so I toss em all to avoid random aggro.

I had to check this out, bc Covenant was my least favorite place to build up, due to the cramped quarters, and a particularly low upper limit on how high you can build. I can see now, it’s about using tricks to fit things into what’s already there, whereas I built all new structures. One of the A-ha! moments for me came from when you explained that the mutfruit trees you strategically placed to block sight lines, etc, fully replaced the farm. I have always kept a separate garden plot in every settlement. It never occurred to me to use the food plants as decoration, and do away with a designated plot.

Another amazing job Paul!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Great job Paul! It turned out really nice.

These builds never cease to amaze me. ☺

Another fantastic build, I am glad I stumbled on your channel when trying to find solutions to my building problems - keep up the excellent work

As always dude keep up the good videos. I've learned a ton from the methods you've shown.

Cool. I’ve been waiting for something like this (:

Hope Bethesda listens on building improvements on fallout 5

The building part that they added to FO4 made it the best game ever. BTW, the giant VIM bottle will respawn every few days at the VIM factory. I have admired your building abilities since I ran into you on YT. GREAT WORK! On another note, I very rarely have junk fall through anywhere in any settlements. I wonder if it has to do with the Ultra vs. lower settings.

Actually, if you side with the Railroad, you find out that Old Man Stockton is a railroad smuggler. He wasn’t about to keep her, he was trying to help Amelia escape the Institute. She was never his daughter, nor was she a synth replacement of her.

Little late but i am glad i found your channel. You give really useful tips and lessons and don't use mods. I already build my own turret tower and added some fancy red and green lights on the column to make it look like a air traffic control tower you find in airports. I can see it from really far and it looks amazing. Also when i find tires outside a settlement i drag them in so i can scrap them :)

That's a beautiful settlement! 👍🏠🏡❤️🎮

Thank you, Sir. Your logic helped me decide how to end the Human Error quest. To top it off, the settlers that live there are perfect for a settlement. I love your videos. Like many others, I'm replaying this because of the new online series and the Next Gen update. I look forward to utilizing your videos to build my own settlements.

Man. U have something on u Voice that makes us believe ure acctually a good person from Commonwealth!!! Very Nice vídeo comrade!!

Okay. You're freaking amazing.

I KNOW this is old but I have to say that I LOVE being schooled by you're work!! Thanks for your work brother!!!

i live you like my favourite teacher at school man, you always sound so cheery and explain everything so thoroughly. keep up the good work man!

Grognak's Axe;; I used this technique in the game room of my Taffington build to stand the pool cues up and hang the baseball bats. When i first got the game you could do it with guns but i think Bethesda must've patched it but you can still use melee weapons.BTW Love the Cove.and yeah it looks bada$$ with all the settlers in there hanging out. Great build

love what you did to the Pristine Covenant, you should try out the Sim settlement covenant mod, its amazing

Im definitely getting this settlement. Thx for the great ideas Paul

I really like how chill and down to earth you are. Subbed!

That looks amazing (I’m type 3)

I wonder how long those garden gnomes stay there before some npc steals it.

Lovin your work absolutely amazing and informative and inspiring all looks natural keep up the good work.

Truly amazing build. Very cheerful.

Awesome build !

I am so absolutely impressed by this build! Watched this video yesterday and was freaking out over how cool it is. Man, thank you for sharing this! I love your work!

decided fallout 4 was worth another play through as i did miss some content. These are great videos man.

Haha this is fantastic :D Clear difference when you look :) Might take few tips from this. The Balcony was my favorite. I always was little lost with covenant to what to build but you figured it out :D GJ

I sure hope "IF" they come out with the Fallout 5 they make it coop, then maybe I can find some friends to mess around on the game with. Great Video, its fun to roll play with this game. Love it!!

Oh how I missed that signature guitar rift...

Your a great builder dude, keep it up. I hope to utilize your tricks to create some cool stuff myself

This is inspiring. I'm gonna go on a journey to covenant now :)

"Cove" nant

It's too bad you can't use any mods, because there's one that I love called "make static." It let's you select dynamic objects and "glue" them in place so they won't move around on reloads or when a settler bumps into them. It's great for your style of meticulous decorating.

This guy is so optimistic! I could see him getting mugged and saying "hey no worries man just take what you need, have a good one" So sweet

I’m just discovering your videos. I hope you can RU-vid full time. You deserve it.

The double beds and bunk beds might count as two beds, but they only assign one settler so you still end up with the happiness problems of the settlers not being assigned a bed and people complaining about not having enough beds. This is the primary reason why I never use them in my settlements, I prefer to make my own bunkbeds/doubles if I'm short on space or have an RP reason to want one. Also, I love that hearth for the cook station outside by the pantry/cupboard. First time I saw it used was in one of Loco4Pack's videos. I believe it was his Coastal Cottage build, it looks really effective. :)

great vid, makes me see covenant under different lights! also dunno if you know this tiny trick to get rare bobby pins box to decorate your homes with, ask a follower to pick up bobby pins box and then you can take that little box from their inventory

That bar is awesome (it all is) but I love how the residents interact with the bar like it is actually a hangout spot

Awesome setup! Just a observation in the food store. Top shelves pots and utensils. Middle shelf veggies and bottom shelf meats according to ACF’s certification. Don’t want any settlers getting food poisoning!

Love the way you made it looks but I really don't like covenant as a settlement but that is because alot if the people in there are glitchy in my game and just didn't like the size of the area you can build in. But once again you show me what you can make and how good it can look.

Excellent

absolutely love your attention to detail. very entertaining video! you have my sub.

Another outstanding video with loads of inspiration. I unfortunately was past the point of getting the Covenant quests so I had to eliminate them to get this workshop, I hate killing NPCs, even questionable ones. Having seen how different they are in your video I wish I could have spared them. Like others have mentioned after getting this area I didn't have a clue what to do with it, at all, no ideas whatsoever. Your builds and no mod touches are very creative, great job.

Nice to see new vids from my fav youtuber

My covenant has glitched, I didn’t answer Stockton 1 week later the Mayor is hostile, do I have to do the Stockton caravan quest? So basically I did start the quest but didn’t finish it.

You did a really great job. You have patience of a saint. I love the job you did. I tried it in a certain sense not the same thing I could not do it.

Nice work tho man, lots of detail and just LOOKS great

🖒great job

Started watchin' early, when there were only 3 comments. LOL. But ran behind when kiddos & hubby kept yappin' at me. :D Real life, why must you intrude on my Fallout time? Ha ha ha! Just kiddin'. OK, Paul, so I l am guessing The Cove is bcuz it's part of the town's name, Cove'nant. Can't be a reference to the movie The Cove bcuz that was about dolphin slaughter in Japan, which has 0 to do with this. By the way, I love the little slot carved out in The Cove for the turret to be active. ;) Now for the litany of questions (not technical, as you said you'd cover that stuff in an upcoming video): 1) In the 1st house, with the bunk beds, etc., did you have to scrap & replace the 3 doors leading into the house, bcuz I heard they automatically re-lock (which is a pain, even with the key)? 2) Where did you find the bacon & eggs to be on display on the picnic table? 3) similar ? is where did the tiny giddyup buttercup come from (at least I remember the giant VIM bottle)? 4) What outfit is it and where is it obtained, that is on your clothier? 5) Is your scavenger station actually placed backward? 6) How do you kill off the Mayor without the other residents turning hostile & lucky #7) the penultimate question for me: How did you even get this as a settlement without killing everyone, bcuz I thought the only way you could build there was a hostile takeover. I thought if you side with them, they retain their autonomy and are a friendly city, like Goodneighbor, but that it can't be YOUR settlement to build on. Wrong info? Thank you for continuing the series & your others like Assassin's Creed Origins. Working on hubby to see if we might soon be in a spot to give something very small to the channel. There are 3 You Tubers I am really active with, 1 of whom already does this full time & is doing very well, & 2, including yourself, who are trying to grow their respective channels & get to that point. I am really hoping to contribute even the smallest $5 or something to each, which is inadequate for all I get out of watching, but it is possibly all we can do, if that. And not yet, as of now. He watched part of a live stream of the other person's & had inquired about how to donate & about subs & how they are free on You Tube, but paid on Twitch or Discord & "Following" on there is like subbing on You Tube. Plus, he is literally playing Fallout 4 right now when this video popped up & I was giving him building advice from your no mods series & talking up your channel. So, HOPEFULLY, hes interested enough that, if funding becomes available, he will consent to give a little. You guys truly deserve it for all your hard work & dedication & juggling day jobs while still bringing us quality content & sharing knowledge, factoids & a good time, in general. I also am sharing the vids on the only 3 social media I have: Facebook, Twitter & Google+. Jesus! I just reminded myself to jump on the Subreddit while I am on laptop & not cell. Almost 4got. So, I'm working on it, buddy! ;) ADDENDUM: Also, what did u mean by Covenant guard uniform? Not something specialized just for guards found in Covenant, right? Just wanna cover all my bases, even though it is likely you just meant what you dressed a guard in Covenant up with. 😂

I derped and scrapped the doors on the first house. So now that first house has a lovely breezeway lol I've also had the same thing happen with a weapon rack and a serrated machete. Tried to move the rack with the machete still "attached" and it kind of popped off the display and looked like it was swinging down from the top. It was kind of cool.

Another great build good sir! This is one of those quests that I started and saved before I made a decision on. Level 90 later and I'm still haven't completed it, though I'm glad I held off now (spoilers aside). I certainly admired your dedication to the details and really appreciate the time you put into making each video and the explanations for how and why you did things. I also love how you dress your settlers. All of my people get the standard army fatigues and combat armor, since I'm usually thinking only about defense. A few may get fancy hats if they're shopkeepers, but you're always a soldier first. Great job.

Great job very good quality video keep up the great work:)

I would die if an explosion went off near that bookcase.

I love the balcony such cool design

Nice base so much work done had to laugh at the quote "I could kill for a drink" while at the Cove xd

Actually I don't know if anyone knows but you can scrap the beds and turrets just by placing a floor piece down, place the beds/turrets on it and then store the floor piece. The only thing is is if you destroy the turrets you can't ever remove them.

I didnt side with Covenant in my game and the turrets didnt attack me

So I just moved to Florida-Cocoa and I have no tv no Xbox and no fallout 4. But I still watch your videos and will be going back and rewatching them as well. And I also talk about you all the time to those who play the game. Heck I’ve shown your videos to many people since I found em. So thank you for the awesomeness.

I like you more and more with every video I watch. I get skooled everyday now with new things to do with my fallout settlements. I made a giant circle of buses and boxcars in Starlight Drive in and it looks pretty good. Can't wait to watch more videos after this one. I love your laugh btw, Sometimes you even sound like Owen Wilson. Keep on doing what you do man!
