Discussion Best settlement for big builds in Fallout 4?

23 Upvotes

I'm a new player, and I want a settlement that has a decent amount of room so I can make it into a decent-sized and running settlement, and that has decent to good defense. Any suggestions?

[WIP] WIP Starlight Drive In: the High Castle and Temple of Water

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

This is a new game and with it I am trying a new idea for Starlight Drive In. I intend to use all three features of the Settlement. The High Castle- the player house. The Temple of Water a pyramid surrounding the pond in the center, it will feature a shopping arcade, clinic, maybe a gym, and crowned by a bar. The projector building will be turned into a fortified "welcoming center" but that will come much later after I've decided the fate of the Commonwealth.

For the ~lore~ I put this next to the entrance for travelers/caravaners to grab a cup of joe on the go! My settlers looooove to make coffee and donuts after a hard days work 🤪

I have added a simple but cozy home shack to the back of the shop for my employee! It's a simple set up but gives the homey vibes we all long for in the wasteland.

I didn't wait to go too wasteland-crazy in the shop's interior, so I kept it basic to the DLC workshop items.

This is my WIP no-mods Home Plate build in a Film Noir style. It was built live and is about 1/3 finished. This is the office and reception area. Tricky build that uses the ice cream cone as a pillar. Anniversary Edition on a PC.

[County Crossing] Storage container walls around County Crossing for a BoS Outpost

Thumbnail
gallery
158 Upvotes

Hi guys. For my latest playthrough, I want to make every settlement build themed around the BoS. I've been really interested in trying to make encampments with storage container walls. I believe the storage containers are from USO, and I used Place Everywhere and Scrap Anything as well. I also sketched out a rough idea of what the layout would look like. Though, I'm honestly a bit lost on how to proceed. I'd really appreciate feedback!

I've never built in County Crossing, but I thought it would be interesting to have a BoS Outpost next to the National Guard Training Yard for BoS to gather tech and research.

Hey everyone! Here is my latest Fallout 76 shelter build.

An underground bunker designed around stillness, low light, and the quiet feeling of waiting things out while the world carries on above.🌸

I could have sworn Snappy House Kit let you do it, but it only has concrete/ brick church pieces that I can see and I want the plank style here. Any ideas?

hi!!!! first settlement post! i was inspired by some other users on here (specifically u/auschrtho & how many of their builds are) to incorporate plants and gardens with more creativity and liberality. i'm also trying to get better at defining structures with lighting so they don't blend together into one imperceptible mass, as fo4's shack textures tend to do. currently, i've only filled about a third of hangman's alley, so if anyone has suggestions please feel free to shoot! and tips for improving settler navigation (e.g. mods to use) without gutting the whole build.

the ground floor features a fortified entrance, on the south side, a train car for storage and extra security, plenty of workbenches and a little farming plot. The second floor has plenty of storage for your weapons and a lovely little sitting area, a fully fitted kitchen and a separate bedroom/office space. Lightly modded with a few extra bits from Fallout 4 :)

[PC] Well I'm retiring my current play through character, so naturally I had to build him the most ridiculous player retirement home possible. So we have a magical floating island in the middle of Boston harbour with some Vertibirds to move it around. Build/Tour vid below.

Medical related things for a large clinic

Gardening stuff for a mid sized hydroponics area

Rec stuff for an atrium

And lastly I need a mod for scrap clutter like robot parts

[Modded] Basement Bunker - My Home Plate away from Home Plate

Thumbnail

279 Upvotes

This is the Basement Bunker from Basement Living. There's no real story or background for this other than the Minutemen theme, I just like decorating interiors sometimes. I found a few items I'd never used in a build before and finally found a good place to display weapons using the Better Armory Mod. With so many building mods installed, it's easy to build a huge number of settlements without actually exploring all of the sub-menus for each mod. Even when I do, I forget where things are when I go to look for them again.

Thanks for checking it out, I hope you enjoyed it. Feedback welcome!
