Settlement Builds for Noobs: Vault 88

Very nice build. I may incorporate some of these ideas.

Nice I started building it up now, going to try and replicate some of your build

I know it's been a year but don't add more to it, you did awesomely, less is better, clean is classy, high and tight is the tits.

Also I'm extremely offended that you called me a noob because I learnt stuff from this video and you're insinuating that because I don't know these things that I am a noob because only noobs wouldn't know such obvious mechanics. takes a breath REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That said, you should port this to Nexus so we can plaigerize you.

Here's sumthing cool but: (CAUTION THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART AND THIS WILL PROBABLY BREAK YOUR SAVE SO BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILES PERIODICALLY TO A FOLDER OFF YOUR MAIN DRIVE)

If you get Scrap Everything Ultimate with the Extended option (and all the patches you'll need) then you can blow through rock in 5 places and have One-Way portals throughout the Commonwealth from the main room, if you branch further out you can cover the entire east coast about 3/4 of the way deep past boston.

Then you can build clean tunnels to those white nova areas and it'll look like you have magical portals to the nether lol.

Also I set up death traps using M60 turrets, Spotlights and Missle Turrets as first responders then plant about 6 Water Plants to draw in all the tendies. Just scrapping their bodies nets me enough to pay for the upkeep.

You'll pull all the Vault Girls 100%

Nice build! I also put an arcade in my vault.

I never hear praise about this DLC, but I love it. I get to make my own vault! With gambling! And hook- er well with gambling at least!

I just found vault 88, it's HUGE. I've been clearing it out for 2 hours lol. I don't know how to make the areas all work, it's simply too big lol.

How did you get the ceiling tile to stock above the Overseerer's window in the atrium? I cannot figure this out! 😭

Do you Do Military Style Settlements?

Technically the Reactor should be Ground Level for Reasons that I would assume has to do with Weight and Safety. Let's say that the Floor beneath the Reactor have way, and it caused Severe Damage and Radiation Leakage, not only that but possibly a Catastrophic Nuclear Meltdown that would undoubtedly cause a Nuclear Explosion. I would suggest that you Rework the Reactor Room and put it Ground Level, it looks nice and actually makes it more Believable than it just being Suspended by a Floor on top of a Roof to a Room.

Bro forgot about the Surgery Chair for the Clinic. A Baber Chair seems more in line with the General Stores Area.

you could have added , if budget allowed it, separation wall and catwalks inside the reactor room, wall for containment and protection, catwalk area for further engineering and security stuff, id put couple turrets there too since lets face it.... reactors scary. and you wana keep dontknowitalls out of there, also what is the most of rocket turrets you have ever placed in one base? having 4 rocket turret towers in any base with 4 turrets per tower looks freaking hilarious

too bad we didint have access to those pods where sentry bots like to chill in, have couple of those in vault= good

The Vault 88 is supposed to be a huge settlement, So I can say with 100% confidance, you aint using it right. If you hadnt noticed the Entirety of the Vault 88 Cave system is meant to be used, Thats why all the openings and Spaces are Gigantic.

It's a shame that the entire build area is inevitably USLESS. At some point the entire navmehs and AI system will forget you unlocked the rest of the vault and will never leave the first area, EVER AGAIN. The only solution to fix the permanently eventually breaking AI navigation is deleting the entire cell and redesigning it from the ground up to be fully unlocked from the start.
Otherwise, building and decorating this city-sized settlement is almost pointless. Why use the space if the AI will never go there or glitch out? It's super-annoying. Bethesda really didn't make this DLC well, not at all.

Dam u love your space thats huge

boring ahh vault

Ye

Looks clean. There’s so many new pieces, and the vault is so huge, I needed some inspiration and to see it all in place. Great vid

Look of a vid of the Spot location you can get them to stop spawning If you block off the entrances and if you close the vault doors there will be no spawn locations for them its just some places that lead out side

I can't even get the walls to go together with those corner columns, or even the center columns.

Basically any column at all.

I also found out that I can use Vault stuff on the outside settlements. So Sanctuary Hills is going to get the Vault-tech reactor and Vault-tech Super Reactor, eventually.

My only problem is that the Room parts won't snap to the Atrium parts when it comes to the doors

Great explainer and walkthrough thanks!

given how the vault pieces will "carry" power i really think it was a missed opportunity to have them also have indented lights so that at very least small rooms look good

So I’ve been playing this game for a min but vault 88 has to be the worst on building a base shit ass

At the first entrance careful with what you scrapped, if you scrapped container with vault suit inside, you game may bugged and cannot be completed normaly, or you need to kill the overseer to completed the entire quest.

... idk how you even placed the platforms at main door for turrets... What am I missing ??? what do I need to know???

At the Cabot’s house, there is a full pool set

I'm trying to build this. Can you do a step by step?

Why do you need another reactor? Doesn't vault 88 already come with a reactor?

I lost it when I saw the barber inside of the clinic instead of the surgery chair🤦🏻‍♂️ cant make a hair room? Idk about you, but I wouldn’t want somebody’s hair all over my doctors office….

Something to consider when building an exterior vault if you don't like the look of the exterior surfaces - the floor foundation pieces for the warehouse and barn sets are the same size as the vault building block pieces, so you can completely enclose an exterior vault within 10-foot thick concrete walls with a continuous cinder-block pattern so it looks like a giant bunker.

Yea cool build just not a how to

Mods right?

How do you build all of this and not hit your max build limit? I started building one level large room and almost maxed out

Looks pretty good. One question though - why the water pumps when there's one already built in one of the caverns? It's a big awkward getting a vault generator in there but it works.

Just use the super vault TEC reactor
Edit: super reactor produces 500 power and is way smaller

Awesome video, I'm working on Vault 88, with a Shack Town in it as well.

Why is Mutfruit the only crop that provides 1 food per plant?

Pretty good, but I think the vault aesthetic should be more claustrophobic. Fully utilize all available space. Place things really close together. Minimalist extravagance. A lot of really nice stuff but not much space. That clinic/barber could have been a 2x2 or even a 1x2. Even your atrium is much too big, my build is a 5x7 and doubles as a food court.

Nice very nice

The strobing is called Z-fighting btw. The game can't decide which object has priority so textures fight in the Z-dimension (XYZ).

Mechanist Lair ??

Damn, I just threw some metal shack prefabs down there with beds and tables and called it good

Louis CK plays fallout.. 🤔 who knew 🤷🏻‍♂️

They couldn’t have made it more tedious to build with this add on

Love the part where you show us how to make it

Im gonna need a mouse and keyboard if im gonna go building this

Can I ask have you done a video of how to used the blue and red hall and door components properly and how do you make the doors work?

Great gym if you want to hit press and do cardio 😂
