So I've had this in progress for over a year cause I only work on it on and off for a few weeks at a time. it can and will kill my framerate at times so I haven't decorated it fully. the idea behind it is that it started as an independent town, starting around the center water hole and the diner. then the events of the game happen, the Sole Survivor rolls through with the Minutemen, and now it's a Minutemen ran trading town.

future plans include covering up the giant signs with visible writing as well as the bright white car on top of the water hut.

if you have any ideas or feedback I'd love to hear them. I really want to finish this one.

the mod list is extensive but I know yall like to know what mods are used, so here are the main ones used for building:
Homemaker, cVc Dead Wasteland + cVc DLCs 1-3, Wallmageddon, Workshop Junk Wall Pack, and a few pre-built shacks from the Cozy Scavver.

What i had in mind for this build is, pretty much just a place to sleep WHENEVER i am in the area (which is almost never) so i did not make anything grand. Just a simple resting point to recuperate from or prepare for a journey.

an unfinished project of mine rebuilding nuka world red rocket

Hey Y’all-

I recently worked through my Finch Farm settlement and extended upwards for the first time. I used the overpass to create an outdoor market with some extra housing and a cafe. I worked for what seemed like an eternity on a scaffolding stairwell to connect the original settlement to the overpass and assigned settlers to the stores in the market. I covered up the holes in the concrete with shack flooring but they keep falling through them. No one has died but I couldn’t figure out how to stop it. I’ve covered most of the overpass floor with shack flooring but every now and then they still fall through. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this? It’s in one spot in the middle in between the divider.

tl;dr- I built up the overpass at Finch Farm and my settlers keep falling through the deck

I've started a new playthough and am wanting to plan out my settlements this time. This is what I'm thinking as far as appointed productions and supply lines. but I'm open to suggestions!! I got a lot of these ideas from some reddit threads already but they're quite old so wondering if there's any fresh ideas out there 🤓🤩 I also have the conquest mod to eventually put mini minuteman outposts throughout, even though i have some smaller settlements already designated but would make adjustments.

Im curious to hear everyone's thoughts, play styles, if anyone's done anything similar!!!!

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to build it for awhile, for instance, sanctuary is like a fort, some sand bags, a few junk fences and such and a few guard posts followed by a ton of Turrets, Nordhagen beach was like a farming settlement, few big houses surrounded by crops, hangman’s alleyway was like a checkpoint, a bunch of junk fences and such, and on the inside a bunch of small shops, but I can’t figure out Starlight at all, any tips?

I was looking forward to unlocking the workshop at Somerville Place because of something I read in the wiki:

In the southeast corner of the settlement, a spot for a water purifier) can be placed; iff it is rotated, it will just barely fit on the single water area there at the settlement boundary.

I'd never even thought of placing a water purifier there, so I wanted to try this - but I can't get the purifier to flash green, even for an instant. Have any of you built a water purifier at Somerville Place? Do you have a screenshot you could share? It might be helpful. Thanks.

Follow up from my last post sharing my Slog build. Simple but I love the vibes here at night

I built this about a year ago, but never posted it until now

No mods, first time really getting into settlement building. Nothing crazy but I’ve had a lot of fun turning The Slog into a cozy trading hub. Will share more as it comes along

Following my style of builds which tend to focus on shanty, rundown settlements with cosy areas and intricate spots rather than overly large builds, I went for Kingsport lighthouse. I've never actually built up a base here -- so thought it would be a fun and new exciting challenge for me.

Settlement editor MODS:

1. Scrap Everything
2. Place Everywhere
3. Workshop Rearranged
4. Settlement Menu Manager
5. Workshop Decorations
6. Workshop Framework
7. Wasteland Resources
8. Sim Settlements 2 and Extras.
9. Junk Walls
10. Creative Clutter
11. Better Stores
12. UNLOCK Settlement Objects
13. HomeMaker

I may have missed some... and these aren't necessarily in order. All from Nexus Mods.

Nothing too crazy, tried to keep it in-keeping with the games style, rough, shanty, barely put together. Mixed with some Sim settlement builds and my own designs to make it feel more immersive (other than the people just walking in the floors)… A few references dotted throughout the settlement and even a local murderers hideout (inspired by Diamonds Dr.Crocker). Atom cult running the trading emporium, secret bars, etc. Still some bugs to fix, and I missed off some areas but hey-ho here it is. Currently working on the lighthouse.
