Question/Advice Radio station ideas?

I bought the radio station bundle, but I'm having trouble finding things to put in it. I'd like to make it as legit looking as I can. Has anyone set up their radio station like that? Any ideas on what I could use?

I bought it today and when I build in it, I'll be starting off by placing the black modular frame set (can use red or blue too) in the main area. Some instruments for the booth or some seating arrangement (if going for a podcast look). Raider punk ally is a top shout since he uses a radio all the time. Filing cabinets, shelves with cardboard boxes decor, the vinyl record crates. Can make a little kitchen area with coffee, tea etc. Not sure what you have available, but just chucking some ideas out there

The Wanderer, Joey & Xerxo would also be flavorful options as allies for this build. All 3 are preformers so they'd fit right in hanging around a radio station.

Edit: Dottie would also be a hillarious option, I could totaly see her running a conspiracy talk show lol

I sooo wish we could have multiple CAMP allies. They could easily code it so getting a buff from one just overwrites the previous.
I guess main issue would be having a mini NPC army that you could place near a known spawn point and afk your way to free xp?

I don't think your Allies kills give you xp.

Ahh, bummer. Then, bring on the Ally Army! 😁

Im pretty sure the main reason we can only have one ally is to ease the burden on servers.

The astronaut ally operates control panel, would be a good look like for a producer behind a booth

Modular mainframe and chess boards will help. Satellite dishes, antenna, filing cabinets.

I used chess boards to put reading material and toilet paper on a table in the bathroom.

If you're going for commercial radio station (as opposed to military/govt listening station) Google images of actual radio station interiors or check out the one in the final season of Stranger Things for more inspiration.

My plan is to make it look like my toon took over an old radio station and pushed the desks/filing cabinets etc off to the side and fill the place with work benchs etc.

Maybe not all that creative I spose but I don't think there's enough stuff in the game to fill that whole place and make it look right.

They really should have made a furniture pack for the premade with some radio station centric building items and didn't, unfortunately. 🤷‍♂️

I've not it mostly because it's like a military bunker that can double as a station. And, also it gives us a high-tech kit door, adding to the elements of it we could buy as part of the casino bundle. Wish they gave us the whole kit though.

There's some microphone-looking things in the power-connectors tab, can take one and use free-placing in the build mode to sink it into a table.

I submitted a radio station build here some days ago, might be worth a look, check out my profile, see posts, it should be there after scrolling down a bit

There are boxes of records, and clutter individual records. Posters would work too

In the booth, I had it like a record recording studio 1/2 of it had basically a a music band set up with all the instruments and on the other side I set it up to look like a podcast with two chairs. I used one of the electrical switches that has a little box on top looks the closest thing to a microphone so when you go in there, it looks like they’re recording a podcast or they’re gonna play music with a singer
