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)

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.
you forgot the 10:59 timestamp!!!!!That was funny af! lmao
Mind blown
The comment is a day older than the video.
I presume it was unlisted at first?
what mods do you use for some of these items? Can they be found in the in game mod menu on pc? I tried downloading from nexus and cant figure out how to get them on my game.
@@Rad_Brad813 I dont use any mods. its kind of the point of the video actually. what items are you referring to?
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.
Yeah I love this game
So far but I just wanna build what I wanna build without resorting to glitches. I play games to escape the rules of life.
@@brandonscott6606 Thats why mods are a girls best friend
You should at least be able to do it with fences and walls so you don't get those annoying gaps when building on uneven ground
Thankfully there's a build anywhere mod that does exactly that.
@@Not5idif only the mods still worked
With so many people playing Fallout 4 right now, this is such a useful guide.
Of course they're playing right now, next gen update is coming out tommorow.
Unlike your comment
@@raughboy188 Yeah, no... that's not it. It's because Fallout series in Prime, renewed the hype and stuff
@@WindflowPatternit's totally cause of the Amazon show it's a massive hit, I've had this game for over 4 yrs unopened..just cause I didn't know the story and wonky controls..now I'm playing it waiting for the update cause season pass is broken ... they messed this up big time folks hit that store and bought that unusable season pass on sale.. nonetheless im very happy I'm playing the game
Out of all the games I own it is the only game I play at the moment.
Ive played Fallout 4 since the day it came out and im just now learning about MOVING OBJECTS WITHOUT MOVING THE CHARACTER.
Same
I didn't know most of these things. I've got 500+ hours in this game lol
Facts
I know bro.. my jaw hurt from how long it was dropped.
Saaaaammee
I mean oml
Ive ragequit so much cuz i cant get the item where i want it
the vertibird blowing up was just gold
Vertibird's gonna vertibird. What's really fun is when a crashing vertibird collides with a super mutant suicider... I turned and RAN.
@@cybercifrado sounds like an atomic result haha
I was laughing so hard! It is like the cat or dog who deicides to start snoring very loudly as you are recording...
Just sitting down and going with the flow, waiting for things to settle :P
the concept of someone genuinely trying to teach a class in the fallout universe with random shit like that constantly happening is so funny to me
The pause you made to witness the whole action in sight... That was amazing.
I thought that was hilarious
@@liquidmarine it was! Perfect timing, and going silent was even better...
Best Pilots in town 😂
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
That feeling is normal if you play Fallout 4 or Skyrim :D
I didn’t know about the campfire hack! I found it so annoying that I couldn’t pillar glitch when in a building! Luckily I only just started my second playthrough a few weeks’ ago. My Slog settlement is looking so good right now, and I build a mid-century modern house with a massive raised skylight, it’s so cool to be playing again.
2000ish here. I was a heavy user of the pillar glitch but he did stuff I didn't even think about. Unfortunately my disc save isn't compatible with the digital version so I'm back to square one :/
@@willowtree6487 the pillar glitch and rug glitch are both fine…but have you ever used scaffolding framework ?? Completely changes everything, you have no idea until you try it…
@@OpinionatedCabbage have you tried using cloud save to access the save that way?
(YT) “How far into Settlement building do you want to go?” (Me) “Yes.”
(1) yes (yes)
(2) no (yes)
(3) yes? (yes)
(4) sarcastic (yes)
😂😂😂
Well... I´m not a builder myself, but I am thoroughly amazed by everything Squeasy and his likes can accomplish! I´m just stuck hating my life for not letting me tear down bombed houses and build something new and more structually sound... Hat´s off to these inventors!
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!
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.
It’s essential for settlement building.
@@psybunny3744 If you are playing on Steam you can revert to previous patch while the mods are being updated. I think UA-cam doesn't really like links so look up Fallout 4 patch revert and you'll get plenty of guides to follow.
@@psybunny3744 it’s fine if you didn’t update or if you use steam you can rollback the update. I played fine yesterday with all my antiquated mods.
@@psybunny3744pretty sure someone’s already working on updating script extender 🤞
Same with scrapping trash. It's stupid that we can't clean up the settlements. It's fine for a raider role play, but for a regular settlement it doesn't make sense to leave the trash lying around. Even Goodneighbor would look significantly better with clean streets. But I guess Bethesda assumes that life after nukes means filthy living for everyone.
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!
I accidentally discovered it when I started dropping and scrapping huge piles of weapons in my workshops instead of scrapping then one by one at workbenches.
@@EnbyGaemer2005 yeah, me too, I think that's how most people discover it!
Be careful, though. I don't know whether it depends on the hardware you're playing on or the way you build, but in my first playthrough my game tended to crash every time I entered the Sanctuary northern chunk (perhaps bc I had built a ridiculously high tower there, who knows 😂).
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!
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.
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
now this is the most informative and helpful settlement vid I saw yet
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!
I remember I tried to decorate my settlements years ago and when I came back all the objects bounced and fell over. I had spent 3 hours setting them up and was so done with it. It was on ps4 so I couldn’t mod it to fix it. And now I finally can decorate. Thank you
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
the vertibird segment killed me lol! as well great video about to go get lost in the settlement building sauce!
A fallout 4 settlement guide in 2024??? Very nice.
I gotta shout out the quality of your production. It's pleasant, fun and crystal clear. Great video
I spent the last 2 days trying to do up sanctuary without mods. I think i can remake everything in a fraction of the time thanks to your tips.
These make the settlement build system worth using.
Good stuff 👍👍
The weapon display board behind the counter is a great tip I'll be using!
Found this video right when I was about to do a junk grind and focus building up some Settlements.
Thank u, helps alot
I thought I knew so much about all these principles already but now I've learned so much more. Thanks for this.
Its so funny that builders have to gaslight the game to be able to build the way they want
By far the best out of the countless 5000+ building videos I’ve seen. All of schooled zone and more put into one video!!! Plz make more if you have any ideas left. Settlements are my favorite part of fallout 4 and that bus build was badass. Even build ideas would go crazy!! Thanks again for this hard work ❤
This is so good edited that should be a perm settlement building tutorial for the game. Really well done
Dude, bathesda should hire you to decorate all the houses! Your video and sensational tips are too good
Dude thank you so much for making this fairly comprehensive guide! I am getting back into the game after a few years, and forgot most of this stuff. Rather than dig through a dozen 7+ year old videos, it's really nice to have just a single recent one
Dude omg. I came into this thinking it would be some simple decoration tips. This is game changing! You’ve blown my mind. I wish I knew all these things years ago
You're an absolute legend, the tips are greatly appreciated!
I've been playing fallout for a very long time and this is the best and most useful tips and tricks for building settlements. U rock dude!Thankyou for sharing!
it reallhy is, and concise too
This is a great video, thank you so much! You are very good at concisely conveying information without making it feel dry or stiff, I envy that skill! I'm looking forward to see the videos in which you delve deeper into some of the techniques you mentioned.
Your builds are cool and inspiring. I also loved your choice of easy listening music during the final build. Great video
The most helpful video about settlement builds i find. Thanks a lot!
So happy to see you post a video!
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.
Thank you for this! I just got into FO4 for chiefly the settlement building, so videos like this are a godsend. I’ve rage quit a couple of times due to trying to fix up the ceilings/roofs and floors of sanctuary in the last couple of weeks. But videos like this make it actually fun! So thank you.
Wanna say thanks on behalf of all people who suffered with ugly, floating camp objects in the past. Your guide has completely changed the way I build in settlements. Now I no longer have to wiggle around constantly trying to get one thing to fit alongside something else, and I can fix up Castle properly like I wanted to before
Hopefully they don’t change anything with the upcoming update. I love rebuilding atm. It’s kinda meditative 🙌🏻
Edit: I only got that deep into building because of ur sanctuary build. So inspiring, now I‘m fixing walls, reroofing, it’s kinda crazy like learning illustrator or photoshop just in Fallout. I even bought a new pc to increase the size of my buildings. Last time I checked my sanctuary with 2070RTX on my msi Laptop I had average 18 Fps cause it’s just toooooo huge. Bro u’re just the baddest motherf**** of building I‘ve ever witnessed but since I watched the Fallout show I feel inspired by their builds. Pretty much comparable to urs. Whatever keep it up lad. I have to make some vids on my own which program do u use? Adobe Premier?
Thanks Brotha ✌
I use Powerdirector, just a small price yearly compared to Adobe. Worth for me since I don't do anything crazy editing wise.
I share the same fear. There are even a lot more settlement glitches that were not shown here. I really hope Bethesda does not screw them up or try to make building more like 76.
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 oh god pls no. NNOOOOOOOOO
Bad news I just red they’re fixing the creation kit. Officially confirmed by Bethesda Germany. Oh dear. It was a pleasure.
@@CNXMedia what does that mean for settlement building? The creation kit is the tool that allows people to make mods and adjustments to the game, I haven't read anywhere they are changing settlement building specifically. I'm banking on them being extremely lazy and incompetent to be doing that at all.
You my new favorite UA-camr on building tips, are a BEAST WITH WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT! This tips are what i was missing. Thank you a lot, do you have a community group were we can show you our progress?
This is a very informative video squeasy, I have alot of questions but one specifically comes to mind:
whats going on at 14:57?
The jet will make you jittery
someone who also says the pc controls 😘
I was watching your hangman's alley tour to get inspiration for my own build when I stumbled on this tutorial, gotta say this is going to be a lifesaver for making a really good build, thanks!
Bro, can you give me an idea about a bat cave?
Mechanist Lair
-Dark, foggy, and isolated.
-Keep Codsworth as a Alfred type.
-Dedicated corners for Weapons display and workbench.
-A ring of Armor mannequins for your suits.
-Eyebot Station, Terminal, and other tech objects in another corner.
-Since ML is a interior settlement, you can decorate with items as much as you want without them falling though floor.
@@orangesqueasy The Mechanist's Lair was my first idea, The second was Vault 88. Thank you very much friend, and hello from Russia
Modding really ruined settlement building. The limits in place made all the glitches and snapping techniques to be used imaginatively. Mods made settlements deeply boring because people could just build anything. I appreicate you teachihg people the techniques to build without mods.
After years I can create some great structures. Buildings that look like Bethesda made them with the tools they have available to them.
At some point I plan to make some mini-build tutorials, but I'm just too busy with work most of the time. OR I'm playing Fallout.
The biggest tip I can give is: Learn the order than items can snap, this will allow you to create far more intricate structures that remain inline with the relative snapping grid. Because if you glitch too many items in place, it makes snapping anything together next to impossible without continuing to use glitches.
I don't think mods ruined building, quite the opposite really, but I have my own personal reasons for sticking with vanilla and based on the comments alot of people do as well. Should I make a video on this?
I would love to see mini build tutorials! its what I tried to do with the bus build at the end.
And yes snap build order is very important!
@@orangesqueasy Id love a video on why you stick to vanilla, I have found your vids so inspiring since I have never really done any settlement stuff before. I do play with mods though as they have become a crutch for my building.
@@orangesqueasy I guess I'm a little overzealous about the mod aspect of settlement buiding, but in my eye sits a bit like old school programming, in that what developers program with the PS5/XBSX today isn't anywhere as interesting as what people were doing with 8 bit, 16 bit or 32/64 bit gaming. Stringent limits being put in place can create some genuinely interesting hurdles for creators to come up with great ways to overcome them.
I don't begrudge anyone using mods, but it just makes for less interesting settlement videos in my eyes.
I've got a simple mini-build video showing how to create Bethesda's rounded metal shack on Spectacle Island uploading right now, so that will be live soon. This will be the kind of videos I will try to upload more of.
I'm not great at finding the time for making videos, so my channel is either completely chaotic streams or very short videos. But I've written a plan for a number of short Fallout 4 short videos.
@@radconx being honest here, I'm really not interested in modded builds either, takes away the challenge and fun out of it. Of course as a content creator I'm just trying to avoid unnecessary drama from any potential taken out of context comments.
@@orangesqueasy Oh yeah, I get the need to avoid upsetting anyone. I think modding is an incredible thing, and some people have created amazing modded settlements, its just something I don't indulge in other than 8 years ago when they added mods into console versions and I dabbled in settlement mods for a bit. I lost the lustre for creating due to that, so I quickly removed those mods.
I think the internet can lack diplomacy at times, so I appreciate your tread carefully approach.
You are the only person to explain the pillar vs rug glitch! Thank u! I was so frustrated with my walls lol
Huge techniques here. Thank you so much. Hope this vid keeps going!
this video popped up on my recommended feed as soon as i hopped off of fallout a few nights ago. decided to give some of the ideas a shot and i've never seen my settlement look so fucking gorgeous. Thank you!
If you use two power conduits connect them, scrap the wire with the item you want built ready in selection and you can keep building, but it doesn’t lower the meter, you just have to keep scrapping wires, or I noticed if you scrap anything with an item you want built. You’re work is amazing thank you for sharing your wisdom
Been feeling out of it for a couple days but this vid made me real happy. Idk if ill ever implement the methods you did but this was a mighty fine watch
Maybe my sanctuary build or house of tomorrow build will help cheer u up
Broooo! Thank you so fkn much for making this! Settlements always bothered me since I couldn’t perfectly line up floors with foundations. That Pillar height glitch is genius!
I just watched your one hour video about you strolling and literally didnt move an inch. I hope you make more videos, i love it. Subbed!
That bus build was awesome! Thanks for sharing your creative process!
Thanks great guide, looking forward to trying them out. When I started replaying, I don't think I anticipated how obsessed I was about to get with settlements. Also commenting to boost.
You are smooth with it my guy! Fantastic video at the end too!
Super helpful. Ive been avoiding building at all costs due to, mostly, the lack of being able to clip things. So this is really neat!
Man these vids are coming at the perfect time, makes me antsy to get back into FO4 and just goof around
I've been playing since the game came out and never knew about most of these. This is great! Thank you!
This is incredible, I've been playing for so many years now. All the way back to New vegas and I just learned about the rug glitch and now this?! I've got too upgrade everything and make things better thank you for this awesome help. Your a lifesaver man.
Ive played this game since it came out and never knew half of this existed. Crazy tutorial great quality.
Tremendously useful information and very well presented! Great music too!
I really liked your bus setup at the end. Very inspirational. Thanks!
Probably the absolute best build tips vid I've come across 👌
As someone who's never bothered to glitch placing objects, pulling off even the ashtray glitch feels amazing. And I never would've known without this video, thank you!
Awesome video! I'm so glad you did this because I've been getting more questions lately about some of the tips you show off here. Now I can just send them your way! :)
lol
Omg this is the exact video I have been searching for!! I play on ps4 and it's so hard to make a nice settlement with the vanilla game not knowing these tips and where to find things. THANK YOU!! I can't wait to play after work tonight now. ❤😊
I just started playing Fallout recently and one thing that bugged me was the floating and not being able to build in certain places. Your video just opened many possibilities for me! Thanks a lot for the tips! 🤯🤯
This video just changed the game for me. I am not being dramatic when I say this. I had NO CLUE you could do half of this. Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
This is so cool, I'm so glad I looked for tips before building in my new playthrough!!
I hope the traction you'll get with this video encourages people to check out your older videos with all the amazing settlements builds you've done, they're trully something else.
Amazing guide! And the trailer build looks so spiffy!
I watch many YT videos in my niche and in the game one... Dude.. loved this so much. Thank you for all the tips and I love your editing style. Ya earned my sub for sure.
Yo this video if fuckin great! I’ve watched a bunch of building tutorials and I learned WAY more from this than any other. Great job.
With that post glitch, you can put neon signs/letters basically anywhere. It’s cool to have them on the ground and finding a unique way to get power to them
Thank you. I replay every year and this time i was avoiding settlements because of frustration with building. These tricks mean I might actual do something with them again.
This is so helpful! Holy crap, I've been playing since release and never knew some of these. Thank you
This couldn’t have came at a better time thank you!
i happened to click on this video entirely by chance, and holy hell i am SHOCKED that there were so many immensely useful mechanics in the game for settlement building this whole time that i had no idea about! I have no qualms with modding my games and i participate in it sometimes but most of the time i would honestly rather play without mods, so this video is lifechanging. i will now be binging this entire channel, thank you orange squeasy 😂
This is cool. I started a new playthrough on PS5 and I've been building a lot more (and generally putting more work into the settlements) than in my previous one.
This is soooo game changing! Just started a new vanilla play and have been struggling to build anything. Only knew about the rug ones but since forgot cause I haven’t played unmodded in a long time.
This is a very informative, interesting and helpful video. Lots of good tips! Thanks !
A video worthy of subscription. So clear and well put. 🎉🎉
Subbed and liked. Best tutorial + proof of use I’ve seen. I knew the rug glitch, and pillar. So I’ve made some cool things already, but the other stuff like campfire blew my mind.
Dude... the uncle Ruckus theme playing as you inserted your shameless plug at 8:26 was too damn perfect! 😂
the stop to watch all that mayhem was beautiful hahaha, great video!
You have no idea how great this vid is ..thanks for the tips
Its fresh to see someone doing it without mods. A lot of videos talk about tips, but they just use mods. There are console players out there
I've been playing the game on/off for 6 years and watched other videos but still learned quite a bit from your video. I get frustrated with settlement building and kind of just started to do the very least to get by like having hole filled roofs, LOL. Going to rethink how I'm doing my settlements now.
Definitely going to use all of these now. So excited.
Such a good Video and so relaxing with the music. Thank you good sir
Ahhh the legend is back with a very helpful vid
It’s because of you I made a beautiful sanctuary hills
I honestly appreciate the pause to watch the battle. As soon as the first explosion happened I was like damn I really wanna see how this plays out
I was lookin for a helpful video for building in FO4, Yours is by far the best i've come across. Thank you
I didn’t know about the water purifiers or the movement of floors in Sanctuary. 😮 I Immediately subscribed😂
I've been struggling with my builds you shown me a lot thanks😀😀
Nice helpfully video, thanks. I enjoy the settlement building too. One trick I have used is with the fast travel rug. Example: at Oberland Station I have living quarters built in the lower level. That rug will pass through the wall, so just place it inside with a little outside so most of the rug is inside. Now I can fast travel to the inside. Then install a floor, walls, and furniture. Leave a small gap or door to pass through to the outside.
I've played this game so much, and most of this I didn't even know. Great video.
Thank you, I had completely forgotten about these and was scratching my head trying to remember which mods I must have used in the past to get stuff built properly.
Oh of course. i had forgotten about using a shopping trolley to carry a bunch of junk items at the same time.
