10 Advanced Tips & Tricks for Settlement Building in Fallout 4

This video will showcase the foundational techniques that I use for my settlement builds for Fallout 4.
0:50 Settlement Size (how to get Infinite Build limit)
1:35 Group Select/Pillar Glitch (more accurate object placements)
6:20 Rug Glitch (Placing non snappable objects anywhere you want)
8:40 Campfire Technique (Sinking objects inside floors)
13:00 Wire Trick (wiring electrical objects together regardless of distance or collision)
15:00 Decorating with Items (+dealing with items falling through)
19:10 Creative item Decoration (just introducing some items you'd normally wouldn't think of building with, will cover more in a future vid)
20:30 Settlement Population (how it works and how you can get infinite population)
22:25 Building Resources (useful perks to acquire + a dupe exploit if you want to cheese)
24:50 Unlockable Workshop Item List (I COULD be missing any but I think I got them all)

27:40 A quick building timelapse just to show examples of the building techniques.

I'd like to thank Skooled Zone, Sar Deliac, Benson Yee, Kate Funkberries, Ezefallout, The insane Shecklador, and many others for inspiration of this video.

You can group select by holding down the place button instead of pressing it (A on Xbox, X on PS, E on Keyboard). I have made the assumption that everyone knew how to do it or has accidentally done it at some point but I was mistaken.

Notes:
I didn't put the wifi glitch in this vid as I have had actual issues with it (crashes), so Its not something I do in my builds nor is it something I recommend.

With so many people playing Fallout 4 right now, this is such a useful guide.

I just don't understand why we can't just clip things by default. It's a single player, survival, RPG if I wanted to build a dresser that is half embedded into the ground let me.

[spooksmcgee]

Ive played Fallout 4 since the day it came out and im just now learning about MOVING OBJECTS WITHOUT MOVING THE CHARACTER.

the vertibird blowing up was just gold

[tivasthegamer]

The pause you made to witness the whole action in sight... That was amazing.

[kiiingstn]

I literally didn't know a single thing from this video. This has to be the single greatest tips and tricks guide I have EVER seen, and i've put hundreds of hours into Fallout and building. No more being frustrated that things won't go where I want them. Thank you so much!

[ohokaye]

I've played this game and built vanilla with glitches for a good 4000 hours, yet you still have tips in here I haven't even considered. Great video

[DanHarkins-jkmi]

Dear lord, that break in the video where he just stops to take in the Vertabird chaos is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Well played, squeasy...subbed.

I wish Place Everywhere mod was made baseline. I was often frustrated by the limitations of placing objects even in places where it seemingly had no reason to not work. Once I got the mod, building became 10x more enjoyable.

[GameFawx]

Tip 1 is already a HUGE game changer! I had no idea you could "reset" your build size. I've kept wondering how so many videos were able to make "small cities" like that. Thank you!

[roonkolos]

This is probably one of THE most easy to comprehend videos on these glitches i have seen yet and its really nice to hear it be explained so well but with little jargon and all

[RavenQueen]

I literally sat with my jaw hanging for a solid minute when I saw the pillar trick to fix floors, roofs, walls, etc. What a fantastic guide! Thank you so much to allowing more life back into my game!

(YT) “How far into Settlement building do you want to go?” (Me) “Yes.”

[rslashreddit_]

now this is the most informative and helpful settlement vid I saw yet

[JoJoBnks]

Dude... the uncle Ruckus theme playing as you inserted your shameless plug at 8:26 was too damn perfect! 😂

[canadianbrother]

I’ve been settlement building for three years now and it’s not often that I find new tricks to use, but this video is chalked full of stuff I didn’t know about.
Im gonna have to implement rugs to stop items from falling in my Jamaica Plains build now.

[mechametalhead]

I'm a vet player and one of the things I hated most was items falling out of displays. The rug trick to fall proof items is genius and something new. Thank you for sharing.

[rookjklb]

This is the greatest guide ever. I've always struggled making Sanctuary look better, but with your help, I can finally turn it into a nice looking settlement

[falloutmyth]

The sanctuary house floor fix it is genius. Never thought about that. And the ceiling too!

Edit: never knew about the rugs item proofing. Will use this next time thank you!
