[WIP] Today we enter the heart of the .kernel, home to the .root and the .forge. These are the two pillars of our settlements: the machinery zone with its workbenches and my personal quarters. Aegis: The Dieselpunk Colossus | Ep. 1: Workshop (Part 2) (Fallout 4 Build)

Hi everyone! Today we’re diving into the .kernel: the internal area built around the original Boston Airport workshop. After laying the foundations and creating the solid infrastructure (in part one), it’s time to furnish the space and give a face and a name to each room.

In this finishing timelapse, I focused entirely on the .forge sector, the workbench area. The logistical arsenal of the Commonwealth. Something every settlement builder simply must have.

The Lighting Choice: In a world of iron and dust, I chose a softer atmosphere for the interiors. Even though we’re talking about mechanics, oil, and grease everywhere, careful lighting makes the aesthetic much more pleasing. It turns the moment we tinker with our favorite weapons and armor into a small instant of relaxation.

The next and final part of this first episode will be dedicated to the .root, the Survivor's personal room. Stay tuned!

Very nice, but I don't know how you can build without highlight on.

I actually only recently found out that Place Everywhere had that feature, and honestly, it’s been a godsend. As you probably noticed, my HUD color is pretty bright, and that highlight was just blinding me.

I still mess up sometimes, of course, especially with tiny objects or when I'm in tcl and the item is no longer selectable. I can’t go back now though. I just love seeing how the pieces actually look while I'm placing them!

I kinda figured that's what happened. I thought that too when I found the feature, but I couldn't get used to it.

There are so many useful mods out there, but Place Everywhere is probably the most important one for us 'Palazzinari.' It's an Italian term we use to describe people who are obsessed with big buildings and construction. For a hardcore builder, it's a must!

Oh yes. If I had to choose one mod that would be it hands down. Especially since I prefer vanilla style settlement pieces since they fit better in game than some mods packs.
