THREE actually useful Factories! - BUILD IT! #11 Fallout 4 

Those skeletons? You can still process them. Build the conveyor so low to the ground that you can slide things onto it, then use an object to push the skeleton onto the conveyor. Miniguns happen to be able to push anything, so drop the minigun, then hold it and wave it around to push the skeleton. Yes, miniguns push anything that can move, even cars. You can walk around Jamaica Plain pushing the cars to within your workshop boundaries for loads of steel.

I like to mass produce Minutemen outfits, laser muskets, and combat armor. And people. Because Synth Factory mod.

The recycler is useful when you have a lot of supply lines. Supply lines will share base components throughout your settlements but NOT junk items. The recycler quickly breaks stuff down and you just have to connect it to a conveyor workshop storage. Just makes it so you can ensure all your settlements have access to all your resources.

Gotta say, I REALLY like that warehouse at the start of the vid. Looks like a repaired piece of pre-war machinery - Realistic and convincing. In a world where every other Fallout 4 RU-vidr uploads "luxury resorts" made entirely out of concrete foundations, metal walls, potted plants, and high-tech lights, that's a pretty big thing.

I think that the Boston airport would be perfect for a factory build, lots of space for conveyor belt but not enough space for a settlement, so you can make a giant factory and then have a guy go between the factory and other places so you can mass produce things like annoying I would personally have it make lots of teddy bears to use with the junk gun, because death by teddy bear is the only death for me

You should RP an industrial magnate who wants to bring proper Capitalism back to the wasteland.

ok you definitley have the sexiest looking Fallout 4 I have ever seen! Your mods have the game looking CRISP!

If you close your eyes and listen it almost feels like you're watching Scott Manley

Actually "Lead" can be gathered from Weights, Pencils (hehehe), and a couple of other junk items that you find in the world. If you have the Weightless Junk mod it no problem gathering these items. It may take some time but it is doable. Also there are some types of ammo that are very expensive and the Ammunition plant dose make getting them a bit easier. The .50 cal, Electromagnet Cartridge are a couple that can be costly and I have found personally that the Ammo plant helps with the cost of them.

Mass producing clothing is definitely useful to me, since I like to give my settlers different uniforms, depending on their jobs.

the power armor one is actually more useful for the T-51 if you ask me... I just never seem to find T-51s, I just end up missing the level-point that they're common because of how quickly you progress to the T-60 and X-01s.

He’s such a good youtuber, shouldnt have stopped, just found his channel

I enjoy the straightforward, no-nonsense approach to the way you create content. Clean camera shots, concise editing, crisp audio, and direct delivery. Video structure is outlined without seeming contrived or rehearsed. It's like getting a quick lesson from one of your favorite professors. Liked and subscribed. Keep up the good work.

Love the video I never even knew manufacturing extended existed and I'm more excited than ever to try out some new factory designs. Keep up the great videos😆

I'm not very big with contraptions although they do look very cool, but that snow. that's what I want on my game

i know this is kinda late, but I just found your video. the one manufacturing contraption i always make is a this. Vacuum hopper > recycler > component sorter > ammo station > workshop storage. the components that dont go to the ammo station, also go into their own workshop storage. I put a container in front of the hopper, and when i come home from an adventure, i take everything I don't want, and toss it into the container and let the ammo and components fly. It's awesome!

YES he talks about the auto butcher and the robot dissesembler, those are a MUST for me, i downloaded CONQUEST just so i could build settlements in the waste so i can break bodies up, looking at YOU Quincy and Hub

It's a setting in the workbench vacuum hopper to pull things for all connected workbenches. Default it is off. Check your terminal connected to it!

you forgot to mention that you could make vaulttec launch boxes to make bottlecap mines a mine that normally would be rare because vault tec launch boxes arent really easy to find in mass but that not only makes a profit but lets you make a fuck load of mines too :P

Thank you the only useful video so far of what I was looking for.

I have 6,000 fusion cores thanks to you

I have seen an even more extended use for the Auto Butcher. You can use the bones to make soap, blood for stimpacks, and the meat for food. Just thought I'd share because that can be pretty good for some people too.

Even better: hit the lunchboxes to open them, take item from inside, send the lunchbox through another conveyor piece like an elevator and it comes out closed again. Repeat. Apparently they stop having items in them after doing this a few times but you can still close up the lunchboxes again and sell them along with the stuff from inside too.

Well made video for a relatively small youtuber. You seem comfortable with a camera and it's evident that you enjoy playing the games and making videos on them. I can see this channel growing quickly

There needs to be a manufacturing quest line added. Perhaps tie it into the Corvega Assembly Plant quest and make the factory components really expensive to build so it isn't so trivial, or even limited to a new workshop space just outside the assembly plant. Then manufacturing would feel like a true accomplishment and take time to achieve.

And the vacuum idea to suck out useless junk...fucking brilliant.You CANNOT imagine how many times I had to just go and manually grab all the freakin leftovers from the factories,but with vacuum ~cleaners~ hoppers,you can actually do that better!Thanks a lot mate!

This is very helpful! Thanks!

about a quarter way through the video i was desperately searching for your ENB (found it, thanks for that link) because I haven't been playing with one and wow does it make a difference

With Manufacturing Extended, you can use a terminal to set Component Extractors and Object Extractors to pull from other settlements.

Best thing about the lunchbox option in my opinion is the fact that they are weightless, so you can take as many as you want wherever and whenever you want to, where when you use purified water or vegetables you need to make designated trips in order to do so

I did not know about manufacturing extended, actually. Going to download that for my next playthrough.

There are a bunch of items you can build which are actually pretty rare to find in stashes and containers ro in trader inventories. Like Vault-tec lunchboxes that you need for bottlecap-mines. You can make these in your factory, even getting the surprise bonus object that comes out when you open them. I should say that alone makes it usefull.

I'm new to this channel and i really like the 'barry normal film' style intro music. nice touch

Another use for the factories stuff is set up a load of gunner cages that open into am enclosed space with a conveyer that pulls them towards a hopper. Kill them off, hopper harvests them and spits out the loot and stuff, then you can sort and process everything. I done it on a huge scale with about 30 cages per conveyer with 10 conveyers. Great fun to watch it just doing it's thing with hundred of items flowing along conveyer belts to be processed

Really like how your game looks with the winter season mod!

Thanks for the video, I'll have to play with these. What are you using for the snow? It's perfect. I looked in your mod list, and the closest thing I found was NAC.

I have to disagree with you on the explosive mill, being less useful than doing it manually. While I agree with you that Workshop Extended added quite a few things that SHOULD HAVE BEEN in part of Contraptions DLC. Even a pure vanilla play through with the more limited manufacturing options of just Contraptions honestly does grant the player something they never had before... true multitasking! Yes it could be easier to make explosives at the chemistry station because one has access to all the workshop inventories liked by provisioners, but can you make these explosives at the chemisrty station while simultaneously constructing a building on the other side of the settlement? No of course not. However with a little bit of for thought and preparations, you can make several dozen baseball grenades, fragmentation mines, etc... while getting something(s) else accomplished and hopefully having more fun than staring at the the Chem crafting screen. :p That in my opinion is the real functionality that was added by manufacturing in Contraptions, while mods like Kensington's make a good thing SO much better.

The Vacuum Hopper is part of the game, no mod needed. Also, you do not need to place any item in the hopper. Whatever items you have in a storage container nearby will be sucked out by the hopper automatically. Conveyor Workshop Storage is also part of the game and no mod is required.

That animal and human grinder is the COOLEST THING EVER

I put together a great ammunition factory that sorts components into hoppers and has selectors for creating all the different ammo types. No Manufacturing extended required. I pump out all my own ammo (aside of .45-70 and 7.62) resulting in nice breaks from questing while I churn out the ammo.

doesn't the explosive mill allow you to build cannon balls too? or is there still a better way to get those (not that I use heavy weapons)

really wish ps4 mods had been approved x.x

the thing most ppl don't understand about making ammo is u can only buy so much of the really good ammo (2mm,alien blaster rounds ect) so it acually is faster and more economical to make them by the thousands via a factory

Some perfect little mods thanks for share.

Does the component extractor sort out junk items with the selected material and scrap it? Like if u have a junk item that gives u maybe steel and screws and u need the steel, does it store the remaining screws of this item or are those lost?

i looked at so many videos and as usual people for some reason just don't understand how to explain things properly. thank you TheAdiposeTV good video.

I really like your enb settings, are you using one in particular or just tweeked? Any recommendations?? Tnx

Liked the video, was disappointed with contraptions dlc because of the lack of functionality. If someone made a recycle contraption that would breakdown ammo or explosives I could see that being very useful. As far as ideas on how to use the ones that you highlighted, you could build a series of cages to capture critters free them into a enclosure with a conveyor access so that when you kill the captured critters you can just toss them onto the conveyor to a butcher contraption. I think that you would have to capture dogs since molerats can dig out of the enclosure and the other critters are to big to pick up I think. Thus is born the dog processing plant. Look forward to more in the future.

first video on this channel i see the graphics in the game and i see the mods and im like is this even fallout or a separate game jesus it looks more beautiful then mine

Around 9:18 you claim that the machines can't pull from other settlements, but you can totally use the computer you have set up to instruct the Manufacturing Extended extractors to pull from the entire network. I have a separate line set up just to pull items from other settlements into me factory settlement's inventory for ease of use.

happy i stumbled upon you. Subscribed!

For the record, there is a LOT of lead in the game. You said it's scarce, but any place where you can find dumbells and barbells (which are made of lead) will net you hundreds and hundreds of lead. Off the top of my head, Atom Cats Garage I think, and also at that place with the huge Mr. Gutsy statue (forget what it's called), there's a gym there as well... and there's several others, but yeah, there is actually a lot of lead in the game.

It seems like this is the way to arm and armor all your settlements. Also, I wish I had more room in Hangman's Ally. There are so many bodies there that I've drug out.

There is lead available other than in shipments. There are weight rooms at Atomic Galleria and at a location in The Glowing Sea. There are weights there made out of lead. And the advantage of explosive factory is that you don't need to invest in the explosive perks to make explosives.

what's the minuteman armor mod you are using? I looked through the mod list but I couldn't find it. is it part of UCO?

Wow wish PS4 had mods, love the snow and winter look

If you set up a viable sustainable adhesive farm, then it may be a good idea to use that same system making lunchboxes to make wonderglue. I've seen it made for essentially free after initial investment, then sell for 20-30 caps depending on charisma. If you've got an adhesive farm set up anyway for one reason or another that could be a great moneymaking tool.

I just subscribed because this material helped me thank you

I just watched this video and subscribed within seconds - because of your music choices

how many things can you hook up to 1 terminal at a time and if i want to have 5 ammo makers going at 1 time how do i set them up so they each do different ammo at the same time with 1 terminal

It was such a cool concept but you're right on, the cost-benefit breakdown just doesn't make sense without mods. You end up using 500 caps worth of junk to make 20 caps worth of ammo or whatever you want to make. Might as well just sale the junk and buy what you want.

Serious inquiry: Can you cover the diverting switch thing at 7:50 in a little more detail?

Usefulness, or lack thereof is one of the main reasons I've not done anything with the workshops yet. Also, my current playthrough is a roamer, no settlement, no workshop. :) But this does give some info and ideas for my next settlements. :) Thanks for the info on the mod, Kentington puts out some good stuff. Is the cannibal your next RP? I'm so excited! That will be fun. :)

I loved your role plays keep it up

10:55, that moment when you casually butcher a human as if it were an animal XD

Does the component extract only extract from junk in the workshop or does it break down everything in the workshop? If it's the latter, I worry it would break down ammo into lead and fertilizer to use the fertilizer and lead to make ammo...

He's a Synth

What the contraption dlc was missing to me was a ammo press that would transform a caliber of ammo into another caliber. That would have been so helpful for a new playthrough of the game. Per example the ability to change all types of ammo into 5mm. This way you could actually make a heavy gunner character using the mini gun as a viable option from the beginning of the game.

1. around 5:00 instead of worrying about things getting pulled out in alphabetical order, you could make 2 extractors.. put lead in 1, and fertilizer in the other one, and use an intersection belt piece (comes with the mod) to join the 2 materials into 1 lane.. (PS: theres a youtuber named Lunar Nexus, check out his fallout 4 vid for a pretty crazy way to build this and make good use of the machines.)

aah wo is me. ps4 user here so can only dream of how AWESOME an auto butcher is. great video!

You may possibly have the best voice on the internet, let alone great content. I do believe i'll sub. :)

The voice... So soothing... Loving the content dude 😂

I was informed by someone I know who plays on the xbox that not all the ammo crafted with the ammo plant requires lead. This would make the ammo plant useful for some ammo. She specifically mentioned that .45 ammo only required steel and fertilizer.

First time I see one of your videos. Suscribed right away.

I built around a river and use had separators that harvest corpse from my traps. Keeping everything except the meat which ended up getting dumped in the river to be swept away.

The fun way to use the lunch boxes is to make it so you hit and open them and reset them over and over with a hopper and get endless items out of it to get other resources.

Mad scientist role playing build...yes!

I wish that the component extractor pulled components from the workshop AND other workshops connected by trade routes so you don't have to move it manually back to that workshop.

Sorters are nice for pulling tools out for Vault 81.

my only problem is the recycle thing i have it on and i leave the place come back and the stuff is all over the place i have set up so it goes into the workshop . it makes a mess when it does that . any ideal on how to stop it form doing that ?

Question: So with the problem with explosives and how it cant use supply lines, is that the case for all of the factory machines

If you want useful, contraptions doesn't offer much. Armor and weapons are mundane (and noone uses mundane gear rather than legendary). Sure, if you wanted to make your settler identically geared, but even then, you could just do that with looted armor since the rarer heavy armors are vastly too expensive (ballistic fiber requirements through the roof so your dream of all your settlers being Polymer Heavy Combat Armor with Synth Field Helmet Storm Troopers with Laser Rifles is going to cost you a ton in caps and is faster farming from loot). Ammo is normally cheaper to buy unless you have low Charisma and are just using looted, rather then purchased, junk. If you have good Charisma you are better off using the fertilizer to make Jet (getting the XP) and selling the Jet for ammo. The lunchbox thing is fine, but even then you have to consider the losses at buying and selling. Sure, 3 steel is worth 3 caps but can you BUY 3 steel for 3 caps? With average Charisma that 3 steel would cost you 6 and that 10 cap lunchbox would sell for 5 - meaning you are not making money, you are just maximizing the amount of caps you derive from selling your steel stockpiles. The reason to craft lunchboxes is if you use the bottlecap mines regularly. Also, if you want to manufacture efficiently, your setup is Factory + Storage and nothing else (other than power and terminal, of course). You just load the components yourself into the factory (and it will break down junk and leave the remaining components without loss). Some of the food stuffs is worth while - the meat ones are not clean, but identical to the vanilla game, but the Clean Instamash and Clean Blamco (they don't get different names, but they are rad free and have higher health regen) can be very worth it (especially with the mag that increases health from packaged food). One also only weighs 0.1 lbs making it a good choice (especially for survival or hot key healing in battle without the stimpack animation). Not game changing (since they take a purified water to make), but you can farm water and the food components easily and the cloth/plastic requirements are super, super cheap (you likely have tons sitting in your work bench, especially if your Charisma is too low to make selling pre-war money worthwhile).

Great video!

An extra thing with the skeleton corpses that you can't pickup, I managed to fanagle a skeleton into the auto-butcher...it still doesn't work. It just jams up in the front of the machine so you can't get rid of them without console commands.

Why the frak the auto-butcher is not in the workshop DLC. GENIUS

I picked up a composter mod on beth. net and it takes the meat from the autobutcher and other foods and makes fertilizer. great addition

How do I put the manufacturing extended on my PS4? Really want it for the recycler but don’t know how to add it.

Whats the Armor (MOD) your using?

What mod are you using that made it winter? It looks amazing.

May I ask what recording program you're using?

If you can use the explosive mill to make explosives beyond your skill level then I suppose it could actually be fairly usefull. I do t know if it does I haven't done much with fallout 4

Just found you, i really like your videos, keep on the good content!

TheAdiposeTv what is the setup you used exactly to make the build?

Hmmm.. Ever since i got that hammer fist thing with heater upgrade most of my ammo problems were solved ^^ I would like to have a harpoon making machine ^^

I work a factory at the mechanist lair. I have a vacuum hopper at the workshop. Off of that a recycler and a long belt. At the belt there is a hopper grabbing componants for an automatic combat rifle and a machine making those. Next to that is another extractor and machine making the 5.56 rounds. Now I just need to find a system that will grab just a certain number of this and a certain number of that to make just a certain number of things.

Cant you use a tripwire and some hoppers to exchange what inside of the component extractor so it doesn't have to extract All the materials of one type before going after the other? aka "ledd, now change to fertilizer, now back to lead" etc

Do you have the mod list still for this? Mainly the menu selection

I wish that you could like make weapons, create a caravan of some type and go down to Diamond City with your Brahmin or whatever and then sell your product and then come back.

@theadiposetv. is the Human diaassembler a mod or not? i can't find it! thank you.

The explosives mill, I'm just guessing, won't give you the Exp you get from making things yourself either.
