Settlements and Survival - Spectacle Island Settlement Tour 

Thank you! And yeah, this turned out pretty good... wasn't sure if the concept would gel with my style well enough but it turns out it's not a bad place to start. Might have to add "a Bethesda structure" to "Mr Handy Fuel" on my easter-egg-in-every-build list haha ;)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you! I think you might be bored with my Castle attempts... I usually just wall off the bottom bedroom on that back corner and the original storage room with the chem station, leave the stairway clear, then fence off part of the ramparts for crops haha :P

I scav like mad. I mean, seriously, I'm a locust--when I go through a location, I grab literally everything I can stuff in my inventory, and I'll leave weapons and armor behind if I have to so I can get as much junk as possible. (I do break weapons and armor down into parts in the field if I can find a workbench to do it, too.) What also helps is a mod I run called Scrupulous Scrapping; it's on XB1 but I don't know if it's on other platforms, though I'm sure there are mods like it. It basically redoes the weights and component breakdowns of almost every piece of junk, and it makes most things lighter than I've seen. Means I can carry even more. ;) This particular character only has 15 tons of stuff (29,700 lbs or so) but others have a lot more--megabuild dude is clocking 45 tons, I think, and the Immersive Gameplay guy's got like 70.

Thanks Kjell and you too. :)

If they had a more stripped-down version with like exposed panels and stuff, yeah, I could totally see that, but a 'bird would go through a ton of fuel so it's probably not as efficient as a fusion-core generator. ;)

Thank you! Yeah, Phoenix definitely brings a different kind of style to the table, but nobody beats her when it comes to combining objects and using things in ways they weren't intended. Plus, y'know, the decorations lol

If you check the top of the dresser in the two-farmer hut, you'll see both Day Tripper and Daddy-O on there. They have the same idea as you do. ;)

Thanks! I'm on XB1 so neither of those is available for me, I don't think; Immersive Gameplay is the one I went with instead.

Thanks! And yeah, I was kinda surprised there were still new things to learn. For the next one I have no idea... I gotta admit this series is getting kind of "meh" for me at the moment so it might be time to change things up for a bit and come back to it later. If I had to guess, though... hm. I might actually go do FH with her and maybe try out one of those settlements. Have never built much of anything there before.

SarDeliac Now there's an idea. I'd like to see you tackle the Far Harbor settlements, Vault 88 and The Mechanist's Lair. I'm glad this series is still going because personally, I'm still building. Hubby has got back into it too with a Vault pieces build at Outpost Zimonja that jammily allows the mast to stick right through the top of the high atrium roof.

Might give that one a shot some day, once I'm tired of the standard build areas, but so far I'm still having fun with the stock set. :)

SarDeliac, I enjoy it because of the locations I have built and built upon.

Happy new year back atcha, and thanks! The secret to building organic is to not try to do it all at once, and to reassess what the next thing is every time you come back; like "okay this is what they have now, what would they need next?" Makes it a lot easier to have it grow "naturally," I guess.

Thanks! This was an interesting exercise, to be sure, but it turned out pretty good I think. Just another farm lol ;)

Thank you! And there's only two music tracks I use, and I like 'em both, so no worries there. ;)

They should be in Power > Miscellaneous next to the large lightboxes if you've gotten the DLCs.

@@SarDeliac okay man i appreciate ur replying back.

Thanks! Glad to hear these are giving you some ideas. :)

Thanks, and yeah, brrr. Not a fan of the cold--when it gets below 70 it's time to throw another log on the fire for me haha

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Thank you, and will do. :)

:D
