Settlement Builds For Noobs | Egret Tours Marina

Today on SBFN, we're trying our hand at Egret Tours Marina for a well fortified trading post in the southwest commonwealth.

The walls aren’t there to keep enemies out. They’re there to keep the Sole Survivor in

Really nice as always. I just finished my build here about a week ago. I connected the middle dock (with the diner) to the southern dock and built around the sunken boat. Had the same issue where I couldn't put the vendor inside the diner, but I was able to rug glitch a nuka cola machine in there to cover up the brain fungus. I just put the bar counter in front of the diner and built 2 stories high with the greenhouse walls (4 halfwalls so that there wasn't any warehouse bits at the bottom) and made that the restaurant.

I still had 2 floor tiles width of room left near the stairs down to the dock so I built some rooms with the barn section and merged the barn roof and walls with the glass sections. Extended that over across the deck I built around the boat, and that's outdoor seating for the diner. All said and done it's a fairly neat looking half-barn half-glass structure which I dubbed: "The Busted Barge Hotel and Diner"

Wow that's an impressive build, I know you like to go without mods which makes it that much more impressive, if you ever decide to come over to the dark side you should try your hand at designing settlements for Sim Settlements 2, I'm sure with your creativeness you could come up with some great settlement layouts.

Another fun build guide, much appreciated

This is hands down my fav settlement location. Its big enough to allow some growth but nuzzled inside of a cliff and water to let you feel nice and safe.

I used the preexisting buildings as my main structures and just built right on the piers.

It’s my most well stocked and staffed area in the game. I always find myself stopping off there between missions to dump junk and rest up

I just had the craziest thing happen. I was building up some more at Egret Tours and the dog I bought from the super mutant in far harbor just attacked and killed Phyllis Daily right out of the blue. The other settlers had time to point their guns at her, but it killed her faster than they could pull their guns. It was crazy.

You're so nice to your settlers. In my settlements I tend to either have my 'longhouse' build - a 3x5 two floor building with stores and a bar on the bottom floor and 20 sleeping bags on the top (two per outer square) or, even worse, my dog kennel build - two 5 piece foundations a decent distance from each other with hallway ends attached to the long edges. Two sleeping bags per doghouse. I've been slowly remodelling while watching youtube build videos so my settlers have to be wondering what's gotten into their "Benevolent Leader".

(Though to be fair more often than not my efforts end up being 'longhouse, but bigger!' so far.)

Nice idea putting the power and the water purifier inside the boathouse - it beats my idea of making it a bunkhouse. I would go ahead and put all manner of crafting stations in there too. Thanks for the inspiration - I may have to rework my versions!

[Caramelldansen]

Nice! Very cool! Must be dificulty... But worked! I love it! Congrats!

[Lutrasaurus]

I think I will try to incorporate some of this in my build.

[BorgWolf]

THIS again is beyond pure Awesomeness! I love your builds! I wish I could download them into my Fallout 4 on my Xbox Series X! I can't wait for the next one! Great vid, keep up the great work!

Some very good ideas. Though concrete looks so 'spartan' it is the cleanest material the vanilla set has for building. It's a real shame most building materials look as if a couple of kids were slapping up a 'fort' in their backyards. Nice settlement. 😃

_Honestly, having to build _*_around_*_ a Settlement makes the process way more interesting and fun. Less of "Ill build a Medical House there" and more "I can turn this into a Medical House with this room being this and that room being that."_

Before I found the Egret overhaul mod I never really cared to build here as the boarded up buildings always put me off, but the old western styled building fronts you have going I think are great. Good stuff with the warehouse use as well for power/gym rec.

Couple of the Slocum joe floor pieces are amazing for clip plugging such as that floor and the roof

[thearisen]

I feel like the housing accommodations need windows or some way to get natural light

[johnfreeman]

you can actually scrap those two picture frames in the house, there's a single pixel (on the wall) at the bottom right of the frame that you can click on in workshop mode (at least it worked for me today while I was building there, maybe I got lucky :P ).

Interesting fact with Egret. There are two enemy spawn points in the parking lot area and one of them is attached to the Lone Survivors spawn point. So if you make a welcome mat and place it down enemies will spawn there.

[TheyCallMeNewb]

"Stupid provisioner" spawn point on that shed's roof! Tehe! Yes, acquainted with that one.

Never stop using concrete it's one of if not the best build sets of all time!!!
