"Fallout 4" Oberland Station Settlement Tour | NO MODS
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 07. 2023
- Once a stop along the Boston transportation hub, Oberland Station is now a settlement run by former Raiders. Following the events of "Open Season", these ex-Raiders have decided to turn over a new leaf and live a relatively peaceful life.
This build was done on Playstation 5 using the "Game of the Year" edition. No building mods were used. The only mods I have are Creation Club skins which you will see on armor, clothing and the dog in the settlement. If you have any questions about something you see (especially how to do something without mods) please feel free to ask in the comments below.

Benson, I just discovered your channel a little over two weeks ago. My father passed suddenly not long after, and as weird as it sounds, your soothing videos have been a helpful thing for me the last few weeks. The music, your calming voice, and the distraction of seeing your organic and well thought out builds has been a comfort to me. It’s such a thing now that my husband will enter the room, hear your voice and say, “hanging with Benson?”. I know, sounds weird… but it’s true. I’m so happy to see you back to building in fallout 4, and really look forward to seeing more of your builds. You have a great eye and your creativity is very inspiring.
Thank you SO so much for writing this amazing comment. I got emotional reading it! I am very sorry for your loss and wish you peace and strength in a difficult time. I am glad that my lil' videos can help distract you a bit on your current journey. Wishing you and your family all the best.
@@BWTF_BenHey Ben, if you don't care, can you tell me how you got those "grate" floor things that you put over the tracks?
They are a floor option from the Warehouse section thag comes with either the Contraptions or wasteland workshop dlc I use them all the time but if you place them alongside foundstions then settlers can teleport below it instead of standing on it so be careful @justsomewendigowithinterne7062
@@BigSenpai-vq7ub Thanks mate, but I already figured it out. Still, thank you :D
I like the "away from everything else" restroom for visitors... based on the stuff these people ingest; nobody needs to hear what is going down in their lol
Even in the Wasteland, people deserve a moment of peace and not worry about some farmer outside commenting on loud noises. :D
I love the idea that raiders can redeem themselves. After killing so many raiders, I kinda felt like a mass murderer. Granted, they were still a blight on the Commonwealth, but still people. What an inspiring settlement build. I wish Todd Howard made an actual city of former raiders. Along with side quests, lore, etc. Kinda like Diamond City.
Thank you! The way I see it, if a bunch of Minutemen can go bad and start Libertalia, why not do the story in "reverse"? It also gave me an excuse to use those build objects. :D
Excellent job. I admire people like yourself who can build in an super lore friendly way. My settlements are all very similar with one giant cube containing the settlers stores, bedding and garden on the roof. Boring. 😂
Many of my early builds were just a bunch of snapped together bits and prefabs. It took a long time for me to develop this style and really get comfortable with it. :) Thank you for watching and the kid comments!
Love the backstory of the settlement and of the merchants/settlers in it (former raider). Very clean and well thought out build as well.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :)
Dang dude! You turned one of the smallest settlements into a tiny town! Great build, and even more impressive you did all this with no mods!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Thanks to the size having all the settlers showing up in the video really helps add life to it. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
This is one of the most relaxing/coziest videos I’ve ever seen. The music, the visuals, your voice. Just so chill.
Thank you for watching and leaving such a kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. :)
One of the best settlement walkthroughs I've seen. Especially like how you included the settlers in the stories. For me it's all about them and keeping them happy.
Thank you for watching and the kind comment! I'm really happy you enjoyed the video. :)
The bathtub is such a genius detail! I never know what to do with the bathtub, as its an awkward piece of furniture that doesn't feel 'clean' enough that I'd want my settlers to use it anyway. So putting the raw ingredients in it is very clever, such a neat detail! Lovely video :) - Lois
Thank you! I do wish we had a "clean" tub to use. When I use it in my bath house builds I just assume the settlers give the tub a good scrubbing in between baths. :D
That's a really great looking settlement for no mods. Great job!
Great work,it looks natural like its a part of the vanilla game,it flows nicely
Thank you for watching! That is what I was going for so it makes me happy knowing it has that "scrappy" feel! :)
A excellent build at Oberland! Your imagination and creativity when it comes to settlements are second to none! Building without mods and making the settlement look logical and realistic is not as easy as people might think. It takes time and a lot of planning. It's easy to see your talent and hard work that went into this! I especially like building in the smaller settlement areas and I very much enjoyed you creating this functioning and believable tiny and "good" Raider settlement! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment. I really appreciate it and hope you enjoy my other videos!
Dang, that Oberland Station sign is sik, def stealing the general idea. The neon on the planks looks SO MUCH BETTER and more like a real sign than just putting the neon letters on a wall or something, very nice!
Yeah! I wish I could say I came up with it but I've seen many other builders do it and I love how it looks. :)
Sweet . I can appreciate the time it takes to place all of those objects . Killer build man .
Thank you so much!
nice job i love the story and i love how everything feels comfy and cozy. bet the reformed raiders love it there.
Thank you for watching! I hope they like it since I put a lot of effort into it! :D
I’m late to your build videos but I must say they are awesome love how you get the ramshackled appearance perfectly with no mods.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Much appreciated. :)
I discovered the Fallout series only about 3 years ago and I started with 76 but after downloading FO4 I have never looked back. I love the settlement-building aspect of the game. I still have so much to learn. I discovered your channel recently and subscribed and I absolutely love your style. Right now my settlements are boring. You are such an inspiration and have an awesome talent for building settlements. I still need to get the Nuka World and Far Harbor DLCs. I have the rest. Thank you so much for all of the effort that you put into your builds and sharing it.
Thank you so much for your kind comments! I was a latecomer to this game too having only discovered it three years ago (and really only getting into settlement building a year after that). I really hope you enjoy all the amazing quests and builds that await you!
So beautiful :D There are so much option in building, I didnt think about it :) !!
Great build. Love the vibe. Love the music too. And welcome back!!
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching and commenting. :)
Benson, you are my favourite builder and a great source of inspiration. The only downside is, having watched your builds and wanting to start building myself, the 4 settlements Ive unlocked are starting to look good but I'm level 50 already and barely touched the main quest.
Another great detailed settlement. It's so interesting to watch. Your builds are really inspiring. Just the workshop stopped me at my current settlement. Can't place any more details, i just exaggerated a really tiny bit in vase of the size :) I will show it end of this week. Look forward to seeing your next build
Are you aware of the technique of dropping weapons and storing them in the workbench to lower the build bar? Or did you already do that and experience frame rate issues?
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 Oh i didn´t know that, thanks or the tip. In this case it won´t help, it´s the sheer size of the settlement, it´s simply too big. It was always my "problem". I can´t build small :)
@@ghostdesign-ue4604 There was a point in this video where Benson mentioned "Three size bars." That means he used the weapon drop trick twice to be able to build three times the normal limit. Start building much more than that and things can get buggy.
As I mentioned all you have to do is drop weapons on the ground and then store them in the workbench. The size bar will slowly start to drop with each weapon you store. It may take a few to notice the effect. Gamma guns are by far the most efficient, so save the ones you find. Any weapon, even the lowliest pipe pistol or switchblade, will work. They will just be slower.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I love your high res builds and can't wait to see your next one. :)
So many details and so much to take in. This is a fabulous settlement build, and thanks for the tour ❤
Really appreciate you watching and commenting. It makes me happy to know fans dig my work. :)
@BWTF_Ben I really love your build style and attention to detail. Looking forward to seeing the next one 👍
I've revisited fallout 4 and Im back to building and maaaan am I glad to be back. And I love the content.
Thank you! I hope you're having fun! :)
Great video, your voice is absolute solid.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate the kind comment. :)
I love the mix of metal and wood in the buildings. Great decorations and feel.
Thank you for watching and the kind comments. :)
Nice job on the build
Thank you! :)
Comme à chaque fois, du génie !! Très belle réalisation, plein de bonnes idées !! Un travail extraordinaire pour faire sans mods. Bravo à toi 👍👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! :)
This is one of the best Oberland Stations I’ve seen. Great job!
Thank you so much! I'm sorry I missed this comment earlier.
Glad to see you back at settlement building. Great work as always 😊.
I like your narrative about former Raiders. It's what I did with Hangman's Alley, and what I got lined up for Croup Manor.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yeah, I did it originally at Greentop Nursery and it worked out well so I thought I'd go with the theme again. :)
Great work just discovered your channel and im liking it a lot gj
Amazing build, this settlement landscape is not that flat and the limited space to build, pretty tricky and need to use your creativity to build !🎉
I wound up using a *lot* of scaffolding frames to create a somewhat level set of buildings. For some reason I didn't remember Oberland being so "uneven" so it was a challenge!
Thank you so much for the ideas & help!! Love your ideas.
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
Great work! 👍
I've never seen a "scappy" build look so....put together. It's better than Dimond city could ever be!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and the kind comment. :)
nice work dude
Thank you very much! :)
Amazing builds dude! I wish I had the patience and time to make something so cool!
You absolutely can! My first few builds were *terrible* but thanks to a lot of creators online I learned how to get better at it. :)
Alway love to build the green house to protect the crops from settlement attack spawn right in the middle of your settlement
Bloody awesome mate, I’ve had a quick look but will sit down later to watch it on the big telly. I just can’t get the level of detail you do without the game imploding lol. Working on the Mechanists Lair for the last ‘few’ days, driving me nuts as opted to scrap as little as possible and build a manufacturing plant around everything 😂 My two ghoul ‘engineers’ do nothing but complain! 🤣
Hi Carl! Great to hear from you. I hope you enjoy it! My Mechanist's Lair sadly completely crashed. I can't even go there without my game crashing every time and believe it or not, I barely built anything there! :(
@@BWTF_Ben I have only gun glitched once at the Mechanists, I’m weary as my Vault88 is completely screwed now even though it was fine for ‘days’ then wham. I’m ok at the workbench but go past the build limit and I literally have to crawl lol. I’ve learnt ALOT regarding building manufacturing in the Lair, and weirdly it kinda fits the Lore as it looks a total bloody mess with conveyors everywhere and just two forges running 🤣 But if you don’t scrap all the walkways it’s bleeding tight to get everything cobbled in a ‘working’ condition 😂
Finally had the time to watch the whole vid mate, love it! Again some nice touches there, I have never bothered with Nuka World lol, I didn’t realise you had new stuff available after going through it, I still need to hit Far Harbour with this character too. May start another one now 😂
I will be doing a walk through of the Lair soon, just trying to see how much else I can shoe-horn in, because I’m still learning about the bloody conveyors etc it looks like it’s been ‘chucked’ together by a total nutjob. So hence the introduction of ‘Pineccine Bob’! A self-proclaimed ghoul “expert” of manufacturing that convinced the Minutemen to give him the job of converting the place. Unfortunately his only experience of anything mechanical was trying to renovate GiddyUps for Arlen to sell at The Slog. And rather badly. Under pressure to deliver the goods, his panicked cobbling has resulted in just two forges but a host of crazy conveyors.
One of the other ghoul ‘techs’ has started a side-line running tours to feed her Sugar Bomb addiction 🤣
Roof top garden has always been a staple in my settlements. I don't believe 12 corns can feed 6 mouths
Before this I think I only did maybe one or two other roof gardens, but given how perilous the Wasteland is, they do make perfect sense. :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@BWTF_Ben i have 100+ settlers in my sanctuary so i like to believe that each "family" can produce their own product, later then sell to those that don't thus creating a miniture city
No blog on this one yet?
1:20 The Third Rail is one of my favorite areas in all of Fo4. Good spot to draw inspiration from.
3:41 Lureweed must be a rare one for the people of the Commonwealth. Traders need to make quite the journey to source that.
7:52 Nice use of that reflector platform. Don't see that utilized very often.
13:23 Are the broom and mop Mr. Miyagi style training aids? Mop the floor left hand, sweep the floor right hand.
14:53 lol
21:50 Now I kinda want to build an alternating neon sign for Snack Shack with the N and H alternating.
23:50 For a split second I thought the market sign was in the trees which could be a cool design choice in a future build somewhere.
27:53 Can't say I've ever seen anyone re-floor this building before.
Another well done settlement.
Thanks for showing it to us Benson.
Hi Sheck, thanks for watching and commenting as always! No blog yet. I've taken screen caps, I just need time to sit down and write. :) Appreciate you watching so carefully as always. I'd love to see that alternating sign. I've never quite mastered your lighting videos. I need to take another crack at it some time. I tried it at this character's Jamaica Plain and I think I broke something. :(
@@BWTF_Ben It doesn't take much to break things in a broken game like Fo4.
I absolutely love this build! Location, style, and a story behind it all make it so uniquely interesting! Gives me lots of ideas to incorporate something similar into a future build for my current playthrough!
Thank you for watching and the kind comments! I'm really happy you enjoyed the settlement tour and please feel free to borrow any ideas for use in your own settlements. We all must learn from each other. :)
Great build
Thank you kindly!
If you drop weapons from your inventory and store them in to the work bench using the build mode you can trick the game into thinking something from the build was stored thus reducing the build meter so you can build more.
Correct. All my builds utilize this trick.
@@BWTF_Ben I use it a lot it's very useful especially when building at starlight drive in there is so much space to utilize
Awesome build, as usually.
Would love to see a video, where you also show how you decorate stuff and maybe share some tips on that.
Since your videos, building ain't no issue anymore....but decorating on the other hand😢
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that and it means a lot to me. That sounds like an interesting idea for a video and I may do that one day. :)
Nice Benson . I just discover this 7 yrs of fallout 4. U know how we sometime complaints that the guard is stagnant stuck at 1 post . I figure out how to make them patrol with vanilla. Answer :empty guard post . Example if u intent to have 5 guard build 6 . As 1 person can take 3 guard post . So if u use that rule the settlers u assign will keep moving making it look like they are patrolling the settlement.
My only complaint is that you gave the reformed raiders raider-quality toilets!
Love it!!
Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
Would love to see what you can do with Bunker Hill, Coastal Cottage or even the Boston Airport in the future 😁
Bunker Hill is glitched in my current save so I can't build there (it keeps crashing) but I do have plans for Coastal Cottage!
well done
Thank you! :)
Looks nice. What I always do, when I play without non official mods, even of it clashes with the settlement style, is using nuclear reactors to power my settlements, as they are silent. I glitch them in somewhere where they can't disrupt the style and be happy. I mean, think about the poor settlers. All that constant noise...
I like how you used your structures to make Oberland Station's walls. I used the Fallout Coniferous Revival (FCR) mod by Silverfox600 to replicate a Commonwealth that has over the past two centuries began to recover from the the bombings. I used Prypiat, Nagasaki, Heroshima and to a limited degree Fukashima as inspirations. The damage from the meltdown at Fukashima is still recent enough that it will take decades more to recover to where background radiation is within safe zones/ limits for human occupation, but according to some reports I recently saw it is dropping. Prypiat is nearing safe levels too, but I think Ukraine is going to let it be a ghost town as a reminder of what happens when men ignore danger signs. There are some weird mutations in the wildlife even the dogs who've now been feral for several generations and though in some of the videos I've seen there have not been a real world analog to Radstags or Brahmen there have been mutations appearing amongst the native deer and other game animals.
Thank you! I don't generally do the "wall in the entire settlement" thing anymore since it doesn't really help for defense (and I tend to go way over the build limit). :D Using actual buildings as a perimeter instead works better for me even if there are gaps here and there.
@@BWTF_Ben it kind of reminded me of the Colorado State Park centered on the old trading post Bent's Fort or Old Bent's Fort.
amazing
My next playthrough, it the long road...meaning no doup glitch and exploring for the items i need and design every settlement and counting dlcs. I want to do an honesty good playthrough with high science really good luck and good perception 😅
Another great video. How do you get around the limits of settlement building? I have a build going on at Oberland and nowhere near as detailed or filled in as you have and I am at my limit. I had to scrap some defenses in order to build beds for new arrivals. I can't even add more food. It is very frustrating to say the least. Thanks for your efforts. I just don't know how you do this with no mods like unlimited building.
Thank you for watching and the kind comments! I use the settlement size glitch which The Skooled Zone discusses here: czcams.com/video/sDza5oblD1g/video.htmlsi=CwajTV_60cD0_i-C
Can you imagine about TES VI? Cozy cabins through the forest :D
I would love to see you do spectacle island and vault 88
I have yet to build at Spectacle but a couple years back I did do a Vault 88 build. I didn't do videos back then but you can see my blog and gallery of it here: www.wonkosgeekery.com/blog/fallout4/fallout-4-vault-88-build
Even with mods I never managed anything near this. Look forward to what you can do with Starfield.
Thanks for writing! I'm sure your builds are great. :) I imagine Starfield will have a very different aesthetic. I'm curious to watch some building videos and see how it works. I'm hoping they will have learned lessons from FO4.
ALL this without the "slash settlement limits" mod ? .. that would be crazy. or did they increase settlment sizes in the GOTY edition ?
To increase how much I can build, I use the settlement size glitch which The Skooled Zone discusses in detail here: czcams.com/video/b4WeRjEXUWU/video.htmlsi=Iea6h0BSjFsVWWs0
How did you get different colored lights? Have I just not unlocked that yet 😅 lovely build
The colored lights are the Cycling Lights from the Contraptions Workshop DLC: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Contraptions_Workshop
@@BWTF_Ben thanks I didn’t even realize, putting them everywhere now xd
hey i got a question. what kind of wall or fence you use to create the *welcome to oberland station* sign at 29:54 ?
That is made of two Raider poles with weapon display boards in between. :)
@@BWTF_Ben that was marvelous. I never though about that. Thank you good sire
How did you get the "Booze" sign on the Food-and-Drink vendor stand without mods?
When you play the Nuka World DLC, you can build Raider settlements. The Booze still and Booze bar etc. all come from there (I mention these in the narration). :)
Fallout Endgame
Any chance these settlements have been exported via transfer settlements?
Does anyone know what item(s?) the light blue fabric with the rocketship pattern is? He used it as a roof over the clothing shop in one section (17:07) and I believe he had another version draped across some windows throughout the settlement (12:38) I would love to use them for my own build if anyone can tell me what they are!
How did you make the pick me up station? How does it work?
You can read about it here: fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Pick-me-up_station :)
at 5:12 how in the world did you get the walls and the scaffolding in it’s driving me insane
Do you mean the busted up barn wall into the scaffolding? That is done via the pillar glitch. It takes some shifting around, but I find the Warehouse and Barn pieces actually glitch nicely into the scaffolding frames!
Helllo how do you get the box carts/ train carriages like what you done
Hello. Thank you for watching! I am unclear on your question. Perhaps you could let me know what time stamp you were wondering about and what specifically you needed me to comment on?
How do you place those little cars and cartboard games etc. ?
You can see me doing it in this video: czcams.com/video/TsHaejWX6mA/video.html
How do you get it so big without exceeding allowable space?
From time to time in my videos you'll hear me reference how many "build bars" or "size bars" the settlement is made of. That's because I employ the settlement size glitch to build. In general this involves dropping items to the ground (generally weapons, the Gamma Gun works best) and storing them in the workshop. That brings the build bar size down. *However* this also taxes the memory. Generally once I hit about 3 bars worth of space the settlements get unstable. You can see Skooled Zone's video on this here: czcams.com/video/sDza5oblD1g/video.htmlsi=CwajTV_60cD0_i-C
where did you get those animal masks?
Those are worn by the Raider faction known as The Pack in the Nuka World DLC. :)
No comfy pillows for the beds ? Only the straw ones ?
My neck hurts, my face hurts,,, everything hurts.
@@theinsaneshecklador6598 sometimes I dream about cheese
@@ivantsang2156 _"BlamCo Mac & Cheese. Expires in... never"_
There are at least 3 comfy pillows in the video. :) I like to mix it up!
How do you get the different colored lights?
Those are Cycling lights. They come with the Contraptions Workshop DLC.
There is color changing lights in the light section u have to manually change the color by going up to lights and activate them
What are the stats?
No matter how hard I try I can’t even build anything close to this :(
You absolutely can! I had to watch tons of build videos and tutorials before I got to this point. You can do it too!
What's the song at 2:17 ?
It is a piece I commissioned from my friend at Draven Studios called "In The End". :)
@@BWTF_Ben Is there any platforms where I can listen to this? I really like this song
2 drug stations---is this the commonwealth or seattle?!
Don't ask me how i did it i just did it it was hard.
You might wanna be a bit more efficent and install "Move Workshop Markers", load
markers and move said attack markers, so you don't waste time by planting crops and other destructible items where the game will spawn a flusterluck of Mutants randomly.
Yes the vanilla spawn mechanics suck and why they put attack points in the ***** middle of some settlements doesn't make any sense. Without mods its impossible to figure out exactly where the attack originates i.e very inefficent.
Alternative watch Oxhorns video where he shows every spawn point including Far Harbor.
One spawn point is just to the left of the orange container btw and only the machine gun turret have a somewhat effective placement.
Lore friendly stuff looks the best, but when it comes to settlement attacks, having enough turrets where they simply shred any hostiles is more fun and efficient in my opinion.
Damn, this looks sooo good! One day i might be able to make my settlements look half as good as this...🫠😅
Impressive build, as always!! :)
Thank you! Sorry I missed this comment earlier!
@@BWTF_Ben No worries! :)
