Fallout 4 Guide - Guard Post Ideas
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- After the last video and new guard tower build - I wanted to experiment with a couple of new ideas for guard posts; as I realised I'd only really made towers and wanted something new.
I also make one design for artillery pieces - but will be making a video soon with a few more.

3:01 = Brilliant.
"Pillar is life, so saith the book of Todd." lol
Seeing you guys using that pillar has made me feel so grateful for 'place everywhere'. You're amazing norespawns, seriously on evilviking13 level.
I don't think we can do all that stuff with the Place Everywhere mod tho.
I mean the sinking stuff into the ground part.
You can't get that mod on PS4 Which that he uses and I use because of Sony limitations
Luca Fossett us PS4 builders innovate that's for sure
It’s fine I got over 1000 only learnt yesterday
Damn I'm glad someone likes building in fallout as much as me.
10:31 "... I don't want to spend way too long fiddling with myself on the video."
LOL
"Abusing the pillar" as the kids say in the Wasteland.
Please make a Nuka cola shrine. Show your respect to the gods of Nuka.
Heretic! None shall contest the divinity of the Todd-Emperor!

Looks like someone was triggered...
Bedsides...You heretics need to heed the call of the krivbeknih!
Alphastarseeds Calm the fuck down, you need to learn how to spell before you insult someone
All hail John Caleb Bradburton!
I've always scoffed at using junk fences, but sunken down into the ground, they don't look half bad! Good ol' "sink stuff into the ground to re-purpose them" Bethesda.
Okay, you're really inspiring me to take a stab at more immersive settlement building.
Youre creativity is INSANE.
Thanks for the sinking information, I've just recently went with concrete walls to build covenant style walls around my settlements and I haven't started on the interiors yet, because I have a lot of walls to build, but man that sinking is going to make life so much easier now when I start the interior builds, can't wait to upload the tours. Thanks again
Oh and for the artillery, one good one is make sort of a bunker around it and use two of the barn roofs (one on either side with a gap it the middle for the gun to stick out). I seems like it would be cool
also more permanent feeling
sounds interesting^^
i like that
God dammit J'zargo I've searched for you in the whole of skyrim and this is where I find you ?
Luc Marguerat I am sorry, the commonwealth needs me. I'll be back soon.
Just started playing Fallout 4, at the part where you make a settlement in Sanctuary and got overwhelmed with possibilities (setting up defenses currently). I play Sims games but I'm more of a sim stylist than builder. Very cool ideas in this video. They help me see some of the building pieces in new ways. Thanks!
Love these. The fact you showed us in step by step is a great help.
The guard post for the artillery actually makes it look like it would fit in any settlement now and not just the castle
Sometimes I think I come to watch and rewatch these videos not for the tips and tricks, but just to listen to Davey's smooth voice. Damn you Davey!
I think Bethesda should just get rid of the 'you can't place that anywhere' mechanic, because although it prevents mass unrealistic settlement building and all (e.g. floating buildings and merging objects), it also greatly reduces the creativity to make stuff alternative AND also hinders making realistic looking structures (e.g. giant walkways that actually look supported and don't break physics).
Also, that second design could also look a bit more like bunker if the roof was lowered more :)
All of your concepts just come together so nicely. Keep up the inspiring work!
"The Junk Fence is like a scrappy fence." norespawns quotes 2016
man love you videos, like people who have attention to detail
Thank you for demonstrating the pillar trick. Its such a great tool. I'm doing my Sanctuary perimeter right now, blocking all those holes in the hedge. In the past it would take me hours and hours fannying about trying to block them. Now I can just use the pillar glitch to plonk junk fences in and its all done. Looks great too.
I had no idea you could manipulate workshop items with the concrete posts like that. Thank you! I'll be following you too
id give anything for a hotkey setup for building, like with weapons... because I use the pillar religiously.
I knew I wanted that - but you're right, that would be awesome.
Awesome mod idea! you should add it to mod requests on the nexus, or do you mind if i post your idea?
+fessy4 post away bud, i cant mod, but wouls love to have it as one.
hahaha im exactly the same. just in my mind im thinking this would have to be fairly easy because the weapon hotkey system is already there but who knows. i did some small modding in fallout 3, im sorta of keen to give it a try for fallout 4. moddings come so far since then.
+fessy4 lol thats what i was thinking, with a system in place, im not sure why bethesda didnt just add a build hotkey anyway, i have so many pieces i just use so much, hopefully it happens by someone eventually! :)
I'd love an update on this video with mods and more dlcs and all that jazz :)
At Longfellow's Cabin I made sort of a Boat shed over the water on elevated platforms converted into a player home, with bed area in an elevated loft . I used the wire flooring for the loft and placed down large rugs on it, to give it a lived in feel.
Finally someone who actually is interested in the workshop like me. Usually people are like pfffft building.
This pillar glitch works nicely with some of the standing lamps, especially the dome topped ones
Davey, this was a great, entertaining, and informative video. Learned a lot! +1
I know that I'm exceptionally late to comment on this one, but I like using a concrete wall on either side of the artillery and then the curved concrete walls at the end of the wall. It fits perfectly if you line it up right.
With regards to using the concrete support to allow things to merge, maybe instead of storing it over and over you can put it to the side for ease of access rather than flipping through aaalll the objects :P
Bethesda should hire you
If you like artillery emplacements then you should check out Real Time Commanders. He's really good
Agreed, he also did a guard post bunker type thing too.
Craig is a bit concrete-centric, but he DOES have some very good ideas, yeah!
Thanks Sam. Always interested in watching the good Fallout builders.
+Niels Egense Yup!
You leave Craig alone.
your concrete pillar glitch works like a charm
If you glitch a chair into a toilet to where its hidden but level. Settlers will sit on the chair but it will look like there useing the toilet. Makes settlements feel just that much more realistic and alive.
I did a cool guard post a few days ago Davey it mixed a turret with a raised guard post above it, got a pic on my ps4 will send it on twitter when I can get it off there. Also was inspired by your sanctuary gate house and did a slightly longer on with 2 guard posts a turret and that little steeple thingy with a lantern added into it looks cool gotten tons better watching yours vids mate.
Maaaate! Your a bleeding genius! Thank you for the tips Imma do this on all my settlements!
Some good ideas for scrappy guard posts, these will be good for the upcoming Nuka World DLC and our new raider gang.
Damn didn't know you had that much variety. Thanks 🙏🤙
I know how stupid of question this probably sounds but I see your on ps4 and you can still toggle scroll the height of the object. I am embarrassed to say I have over 325 hours into fallout and have no idea how to do that XD just how?? I could do so much. its appreciated. thanks in advance
on PS4 you hold down x and L1 - you can then use the left bumped to raise and lower the object.
omg just thank you. ive asked this on so many different peoples videos and your the only one to reply. you earned another sub. you've made some of the better ideas and ive used allot myself. its much appreciated again
Ok, but how to select the two pieces on PC?
+stefan stoyanov wondering the same thing :)
Hold E and drag
You can put signs on guard posts if you wanna make the fronts of them look a bit different from each other
Brilliants. I didn't know about the sinking/not-sinking.
robots for guards, no sleep, no weapons to hand out, and a sentry can have 5 ranged weapons, shoulders, arms and head..
I think I am going to spend my Friday with a crate of beer and Doing some of Davy's Suggestions .
Say hi to the crate of beer for me.
+Potema Dunne yea! turns out that the beer didn't agree with me. I spent all day Saturday very poorly and not with a hangover, I was not happy :(
You dont have to care about the fences not being sunken before you do the pillar glitch, just make sure the concrete pillar is ever so slightly sunken into the ground and not "standing" on top of the ground.
I just subscribed to your channel. Building in this game is my favorite thing to do, and I enjoy seeing new and creative ways of doing it, also people's settlement builds. Thank you for your video, look forward to more. Peace.
where did you get those different types of concrete and stuff
KiNg_JamesGaming from the wasteland workshop
I mean if you want concrete buildings just get the snappy builds kit unless you want some of the other things wasteland workshop has
Kurva is a great curse in foreign language. It's Czech/Slovakian (possibly Polish aswell). BTW great vid!
you can make easy covered guard posts, the guard post can have a wooded pre fab snap onto it
I use the rounded concrete walls and floor sections of wasteland workshop dlc to build covered pillboxes sunken into the ground using the clamp based turrets with just the weapon showing
Swedish: Helvete (Hell), satan (guess), förbannat (roughly: damn it), satan i helvete (guess). And for the advanced student: satans förbannade jävla skit.
If you put these in a google translate field and swap 'sides' on the languages you'll get pretty decent pronunciations, I was pleased to note, although it might truncate the longer phrases a bit.
Thanks for the tips and happy swearing.
I like to mix mediums but I probably overuse the concrete a bit much. It's just so easy to use.
I get all giddity inside like a lil girl waitin for nsync when I come on to CZcams and see the lil blue dot under your name ....sweet builds Def useing the first one I don't use the cannon thing either I got 2 at the castle and it seems to work anywhere u throw the artillery flare
I think it would be great if you made a video on survival homes. Meaning shelters for survival mode that require the least amount of resources to be functional but still look good.
For that second post you could just build the whole thing on top of the ground and then grab it as a whole and sink it slightly. That would get rid of the floaty junk wall legs.
Would it though?
I use chain link fencing as anti grenade/missile defense. As an added layer of protection for my guard posts and turrets.
The only problem with building on the ground is, if the trespasser gets just a little elevation, You are at a disadvantage, because it's much easier to shoot down than it is to shoot up.
I was thinking it and then you said it. The 2nd one looks like it's from a trench. I was just thinking on how all you'd need to do is give the guard an assault rifle!
Hey Davey great stuff as always! I really can't wait to see what you do with mods. I'm sure you've had plenty of suggestions, but I think in particular you will like Settlement Supplies Expanded by Ethreon and Snap N Build by ad3d0, snap N build more so for the indoor doorways yay!!! real rooms my dude!!!
Jeez davey, you abuse that pillar more than my neighbor does his ex.
it might be obvious but you can sink with concrete pillar rug glitched stuff. to make it go where it couldn't without rugs and sink it as you desire ❤
hey man thinks for the videos you are giving me more inspiration to play fallout 4 more, keep up the good work.
Your builds and techniques are great! But when you build... with the pillar, you should place like 10 so you dont have to change menus so often lol :P Not sure if anyone posted that already. I didnt read the comments.
This is bad ass. I'm going to start doing this now.
You're tips are a real live safer when you're into settlement building and playing on the ps4
14:39 "putaana" LOL (actually it's italian, puttana=bitch), i've spent the all past week wacthing your F4's craft videos, and this moment was better than learning pillars' glich. lol
P.s. you made me love junk fences again, so much love
Really like the second design. Reminds me of what we used in Iraq, shame we can't build sand bags though
with mods I'm hoping to add some sandbags and possibly netting too. It'll look (hopefully) awesome.
with the second one do you think it would work if when you do the 'great wall of sanctuary' walls, you could pop them in the wall instead of towers at the top? great ideas again Davey!!!
Awesome stuff I've learnt so much, just need more hours in the day now!!! Thank you.
As ironic as it would be I'd love to see the guard posts at the bottom of a tower, or entryway/building/etc.
You should make an Inn on Longfellow's Island for your settlers to live in!
I really wish they'd have added a simpler guard post object, kind of like how they added the plain shop counters in one of the more recent updates...
Is there any way to make guards actually stand at their guard post? I mean, in some of my settlements they do, and in others like The Castle they *refuse* to actually man any assigned post. They just stand around in random places, or wander aimlessly. Meanwhile, I can't get anyone to actually watch the entrance!
you use the pillar method as much as I use the conduit on carpet method
I'm trying to use posts to plug gaps in junk fences as you describe using a concrete post but when I position it where I want its always red. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers man.
Whit the Junkfences: you need to build the concrete a bit lower than the object!
have you done much with Sunshine tidings??? I really don't know where to start with that settlement...
Hey davey, a Quick question, what it is your alltime favourite settlement?
Hey, if I remember correctly you said you would be downloading mods focused around building in the like. Ik that mods aren't out for PS4 yet, but be careful what you download because apparently there are modders putting code that bricks your console if you do.
6:02 "it's really good plugging these holes" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
Hey this was pretty cool! Those are some good look'n structures!
I'll have to try those ASAP. Your first guard posts was great but i would have added a roof, like the one with piece of tissues with the three steel pillars. About the swearing, i really love the Polish's fuck "kurwa". Juste check for kurwa on youtube, you'll know what I mean.
None of those collision building glitches seem to be working for me with a fully updated game post Nuka World. Did they fix it?
For some reason when I try doing the rug glitch or the post glitch like you did here, I can't pick up the item but instead I pick up my entire settlement! Lmao
I'm probably missing something, but how do you select a category/item in the menu while your marker (or cursor, don't know what it's called exactly) is highlighting a placed object?
Use up of d-pad to go into another section of items
+JB Gaming ohhhhh... no fucking shit. *facepalm* thank you!
I'm sad I'm not as innovative or creative enough that I can't come up with neat ideas to suggest, ah well, I'll figure something out someday.
how do you select both the pillar and the object itself as one object (pc user here)?
stupid question..however gonna ask it any way how are you moving both the concrete pillar and junk wall at same time?
Darth Kodacus you hold the select button to select all
Why not put the junk fence on a rug first? When it hops up you know it's not sinking, then you can grab the whole mess with the magic wand (pillar). You'll lose the rug but who cares. ;)
what were those two other items in the special tab?
mine is Age of Enlightenment Blockhouses and forts. i haven't done TAking Independent yet.
You are a building god
How do you select multiple objects at the same time
Ok, dumb question. Do I need to find a picket fences comic in order to get concrete walls? I tried to create a wall around Starlight with them but quickly realized I can't at this point in my game.
workshop dlc mate.
u could use concrete floors as wall tho.
as recklessgamers69 said, you need Wasteland Workshop DLC. If you have it and they're just not showing up then I'm not sure what's going on.
I can't imagine how painful creating starship is going to be with Bethesda tools in starfield 😂.
Yo get the mode Place Everywhere by TheLich. It allows you to place any building thing anywhere you want so their is no red when you try to place something down only green.
@Nick Friend: Place anywhere will not be an option for console users. It requires a script extender (F4SE) to function. Neither Microsoft or Sony allow 3rd party software to run on their systems.
*Place Everywhere
+Scruffy Jack crap i meant mod
+Scruffy Jack but this one youtuber who goes over mods showed it and he said he got it from the mod selection in Fallout
+Nick Friend:The Place Everywhere mod is PC only because it requires the F4SE script extender for functionality. The mod will literally do nothing without it. It will not work on consoles. If I remember correctly, Davey is gaming on a PS4. It is not going to be compatible with his system.
i got the 2x1 barn Netfloorpieces to snap to the edge of the guardposts.
Can you do a video like this (a couple of different styles) for shops?
Sometimes it won't sink if the pillar isn't low enough.
I use this autohotkey script to do the tricky parts, and it essentially allows you to do anything you want, without having to worry about collision. Greatly recommended mod that works with every version since it relies on autohoykey:
Precise Object Moving and Rotating:

I really dont like the idea of putting structures around the arty pieces cause you got to keep in mind they need to be able to spin 360 degrees.
Awesome, I learn so much from you!
Concrete pillars where did you get those????
qoua vang it’s a dlc
Gamma Games wasteland workshop
how to move the object up down forward backward without moving?
