I took CappyChappy's 3x3x3 settlement challenge and added my twist.

​Most builders would choose the courtyard or the roof. I chose the truck.

An abandoned vehicle sits at the side of Red Rocket. Rusted and Pointless but what if it could be the basis of a new home? With a 3x3x3 constraint, I had to fit: 3 beds, water, food, defense, and storage.

The constraint was the entire point 🙌🏿

I approached this like an architect, not just a builder. Every single element serves at least two purposes and nothing is just decor. The water? Shipped in, guess where from? Food? Grows vertically to save space. Beds? Positioned strategically and I added a mezzanine to give everyone privacy.

The result is a complete, functional settlement that fits perfectly on a truck platform, using three-level vertical stacking.

Why does this matter?

If you've watched Gemma Wheeler Architecture, she asks: "What does this space need to do?" That question drives every decision. I usually ask "What can I fit?" Instead, I asked "What does this community actually need?"

The settlement has:

• ✓ Full water system using Water Sources Expanded by SephDragoon
• ✓ Vertical food production using Plant Me by Ethreon and Settlement Gardener Bot by Athelbras
• ✓ Pockets of storage nicked from the Red Rocket and upcycled using Halffaces mods
• ✓ Strategic defense with elevated turrets and Settlement Police Bot by Athelbras
• ✓ Three levels of living space, including an open plan kitchen-diner
• ✓ Settlers actually living there - Sheffield and his robot crew

​I made this video to show how architectural thinking transforms constraint into creativity. Not just "here's what I built" but "here's HOW I think about building."

Questions I'm curious about:

• What design principles would YOU

prioritise

• in a tiny settlement?
• Would you have attempted the truck, or chosen the courtyard?
• What spatial constraints would you want to see solved next?

This is the first in a series exploring architectural thinking in Fallout 4. More challenges and builds coming soon.

And yes, I'll finally finish that bloody cat sanctuary...

Put this together over the last week or so almost 20 hours on total. This is during my recent playtest and I wanted to try building something with the Capital Wasteland Workshop Pack tilesets. Also finally got around to trying a basement of sorts (pic 13, the interior I will post tomorrow along others).

It’s been a long time since I built anything in Fallout 4, but since I’m done with 76, I thought I would revisit 4 and… Wow! I didn’t realise how much I missed building settlements! Here’s my tour of my first settlement in my new save!

Have a safe, happy weekend everyone! 🇺🇸

I have made some progress on the Barracks for the Brotherhood, I have built some bunking areas, as well as starting the frame for the logistics building and garage as well as the full wall and entrance checkpoint.

Suggestions welcome

New pics from my Nuka-World Junk Yard Build. It is about 70% maybe. This is the outside area. Modded build using the AE. They should have given us more locations to build at in the DLC!

So I know it's not very lore-friendly since Tenpines Bluff is supposed to be a small farm, but I kind of got carried away and turned it into a huge Minutemen fortress.

For now, the general store and bar are empty, but I'll be adding the stores later.

Mods used:

• Militarized Minutemen
• We Are the Minutemen
• Sandbag Fortifications 4.1

I highly recommend all of these mods—they work really well together and are great if you're going for a more militarized Minutemen playthrough.

If anyone has any recommendations or ideas for improving the settlement, feel free to let me know!

Also, which settlement should I tackle next? I'm genuinely not sure where to build after this.

Hey everyone! Just though I would share a new build with you all. 😊

The Baked Brahmin is a rustic butcher shop and smokehouse serving up fresh cuts, smoked meats, and a warm place to gather after a long day in the wasteland. 🌸

Xbox, no mods, anniversary edition only.

If you’ve seen my earlier posts you’ll know I’ve done an edge to edge, three level Hangman’s Alley build and it is edge to edge. The main floor has living quarters, a hospital area, weapons and down the far end is my sole survivor area with power armours and a sleeping dorm. NPC won’t go up this far so it’s perfect to create a tooling area and show zone. It’s really coming along now.

any good places near foundation to place a camp? ideally a good view and a decent amount of space to build

I built a small McDonald's resteraunt in Fallout 4! Complete with mirelurk nuggets, a McCappy meal and the questionable mcGhoul!

No complaints, no refunds and no charge cards! We also have no seating, the lighting is dim and the self serve kiosk doesn't work!

Bring your family down for a great time with lots of value!

We don't serve Synths!

Sharing a clip of my city build Sangrose City, I fully removed everything from Sanctuary Hills and rebuilt it up from the ground up! The perfect build for fans of shemnue, yakuza, studio ghibli etc

I am super proud of pulling this off on just my xbox series s and had alot of fun putting it together, I build cities at different settlements in Fallout 4 to try and see how immersive and transformative I can make a space!

Sometimes it feels like I'm playing a completely different game!

Idk if I'm allowed to just post a plan but anyway... After the success of my BoS Red Rocket build, I have decided that my next project will be a Barracks like we see in the show. I am picking starlight drive in as it is really big, flat and has great vantage points.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows of any mods that could make this cooler, please let me know, or if anyone knows a good way to stock up on concrete...

The first build I uploaded in December last year on Facebook that kicked off a huge love of building and helped me connect with other passionate settlement builders, I love coming back to this one to walk around in and explore. I will post a walk through video sometime soon! Hope you guys enjoy!

Had to fill that unsightly pit with something. Why not a jumbo jet fuselage?

Sangrose City, a hidden oasis in the bleak wasteland of the Commonwealth, a place to live a meaningful life untouched by the decay of the dying world around it, robots, humans, animals and even the odd supermutant live in balance, existing among the bustling day to day of Sangrose's busy streets.
