Top 5 Must Know Settlement Building Tips 🚧 Fallout 4 No Mods Shop Class

To be a great Fallout 4 builder you need the right tools in your toolbox. I'll show you the top five best building tips to equip your toolbox and maximize your settlement creation experience. Less frustration means more fun!

Note: When I say to use the select button that means the "in-game" select button, not the "out-of-game" select button. On an Xbox One for example, that's the Ⓐ button. Just remember to hold it down.

Just thought this might be useful.

3:33 Tip #1 Arrows and D-Pad.
6:32 Tip #2 3D-Telekinesis.
9:10 Tip #3 Item placement.
13:42 Tip #4 Walking through walls.
20:33 Tip #5 Settlement size glitch.
17:27 Extratip#0 Save often!

And personal thanks from me for Tip #3. Didn't know that you can change the axis. Now It's only need to find out which button makes this on PC :D

It's almost 2022 and this video helped me tremendously with my first real playthrough. Thank you for your service sir!

Damn it, I'm watching a fallout builder equivalent of bob ross. This is amazing.

When you said something about we all drive different vehicles but on the same road, my eyes were opened.

For anyone coming back to fallout 4 with the fallout tv show wave, this playlist is amazing and extremely underrated.

For pc from ps4 as it relates to the video
ps4/pc
Tip 1 4:48 D pad / Arrow keys or Shift + WASD
Tip 2 6:32 Bumpers / (for flat movement) E + Mouse (for up/down) E + Scroll Wheel
Tip 3 9:14 Press down on LS / hold E to pick up and left or right click to rotate and I believe shift changes axies tho im not sure
Tip 4 13:45 Pick up then cancel / press TAB to cancel a select item
Tip 5 20:40 B / TAB

After several months of this video being up, I'm so impressed with all the admissions in the comments that even longtime Fallout 4 players didn't know a lot of these tips. That shows you what an honest and mature gaming community we've built here on the channel. 👌

3 years it took me to find this beautiful tutorial, this could have saved me so much time and so many tears. My hair has been going gray from the amount of stress the last 3 days of building have given me. I appreciate you

[samrizzo]

Its 2022 and I'm really trying to set up settlements for the first time. Dude you are such a life saver and you've got a really great flow to your videos.

I play on an Xbox One and was just given Fallout 4 this Christmas. I’m at the stage of starting to build my first settlement or at least home base. I’ve watch tons of how to videos on YouTube but none of them explained which buttons did what on an Xbox . Most of them assume you know all this stuff so I’ve spent hours trying to figure it out. So, for me, this is SERIOUSLY...THE ... BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You have saved me hours and hours of boring research and given me back the fun of playing. I think I’ll binge watch all your other videos now and save myself a lot of frustration! I’d share this with everyone I know except, in my world, I’m the only one who games. I’m in my early 50’s with grown children, and the few friends I have think I’m a bit weird for playing games. My kids love it though lol. Anyway, thanks again! Thanks for NOT assuming everyone knows this stuff! Brilliant tutorial!

4 starting into space... d pad.. omg, why???? Thank you so much. I finally had the patience with this trick to start work on vault 88. Because of your tips I was able to get my 88 framework started. And yes. You can get all your floors and walls flush perfect to lead back to the main room as well as the water purifier room. Was able to connect an atrium in here and a reverse wall in the middle atrium wall about a foot from the purifier connector. Couldn't have done it without you

I loved the acknowledgement of multiple consoles/platforms without arguments about X being better than Y. Wholesome stuff! We all have our personal preferences but it doesn't matter, it's all about the game :)

xbox to playstation is a=x b=o y=triangle x=square rb=r1 rt=r2 sticks are L and R 3 trackpad = middle touchpad used to enter and exit workshop mode remotely ps also has a share button to quickly take screenshots and record videos.

[fudge]

You probably explain this better than I understood but for the people that are playing on PS4 that didn't really understand rotating things on their access when you have the object highlighted to move you hold X along with either L1 or R1 or just by itself and then you use the left joystick to move the object

[timsodergren]

To change axis of rotation (9:14) on PC, use your sprint button . Took me a while to figure this out since I have sprint remapped to the middle mouse button. Great tutorials even if you use some mods. The fact that this comment thread is still alive after 5 years is testament to that. Thanks!

Hello from 2023, Fallout 4 is still fun and your videos are a very useful set of tools for getting back into Fallout 4 and the joys of settlement building. Thanks from the future

[DanielPennybaker]

Does anybody actually hate you? You’re such a likable person. Great video!

[steakslapn]

I love coming back to these vids every time I start up another play through. It's so useful. You really are a master at this game.

[SuperStrawberryful]

I'm new to this because I'm just now trying to work on building cool settlements.

For PS4 users, here's the controls for tip #2 - "3D Telekinesis"

Hold x until your object is selected and then hit and hold x again. Then use the left stick to move around. For up and down, hold x until selected and then hold L1 and use the left stick.

Took me a while to figure out!
