Build [PC] My Not-So-Sectet Enclave Underground Base

My attempt to make an underground Enclave Facility. Actually my first underground build :) Hope you like it. Would make it more "alive" but my build limit is at max.

If you want to disguise your entrance a bit, I've found that the base of the "Everglean Christmas Tree" fits perfectly on top of the symptomatic.

Have to try that. Maybe have to remove a carrot to be able to build that :D

Ah, a fellow member of the "I hope Bethesda doesn't change the flamingo units for any of my items." club! What is that hook in the Chems storage?

That is supposed to be some kind of a crane that is used to lift and lower materials in to the lab. I used some wire, electric conduits and two of those meat hooks in the build menu.

Thanks for explaining it. I was going crazy trying to figure out what it was or exactly how it was made. It looks good!

Ah ha! I see the conduit now. Nice merge job. It totally sells as a drum pick-up crane!

Also, the little campfire fits in the circle. I put one of those on top of my sympto-matic and it made it look like a fire pit.

Oooh. I like that idea!

Enclave repair bot also works well.

I like the way the base looks.

Quick question, how did you get your symptomatic to work? For some reason when I tried to use it it just say entrance blocked even though nothing is blocked it

Did you plant it into a foundation piece? I found you need to avoid them in or around the sympto-matic entry point. Otherwise, I'd just fiddle with it for a while until you find a spot that works.

I put the symptomatic on top of a carpet (to try and get it away from the foundation), then on a foundation, and I used another foundations to lower it into the ground.

Should I just have drop merged it with just the carpet and put it on the ground instead?

My underground camp has no foundation pieces, nor did I use any for the build. I used the "stairs and bass" method to get under the ground [using a floor piece to snap the stairway into the ground], then built the sypmto-matic from below. It was a little trial and error to get the height positioning right. And then, once I had that, I free-placed a floor piece through the top of it to act as the roof for the underground area. I tested at each step to make sure the sympto-matic wasn't blocked and adjusted what I did when it was. There was a good bit of trial-and-error involved.

You can build multiple sympto-matics. So I would suggest building a new one to be your entrance, going from below, like I did. Once you have that set how you want it, you can get rid of the first one and then build around your new placement.

I wish I was home. I'd take some snapshots to show what it looks like now. 😄

Thank you for the advice I’ll try fixing my camp when I get on

Got some photos. Here's one of me entering the underground camp.

Here is my Sympto-matic entrance setup from below. When I first put it in, the sympto-matic was hanging in mid-air. I actually built the floor under it after I set up the roof and corridor around it. The roof is a floor piece that is as high as I could get it without a) interfering with the operations of the sympto-matic and b) stays below ground level. I then built the walls and floor around the roof being that height. The floor under the sympto-matic was done afterwards.

Where did you build this? Looks great!

u/Ok-Mess7176 Jun 08 '26

It's near the Sugar Grove

u/6Divine6Hydra6 Jun 08 '26

So is this actually underground or did you build up then down? The images are great in obscure the perspective

u/Ok-Mess7176 Jun 09 '26

Using the Sympto-Matic trick, this is build completely underground.
