- On request here is a guide on how to use the Atrium pieces from the Vault tab added in the Vault-Tec Workshop in Fallout 4.
Also - because I'm nice like that; I've figured a way to make 1x2 rooms for all your bathroom needs.

The reason the atrium doesn't snap correctly, is because you're using floors (which go at the bottom) and they are only supposed to be for the middle tiles, not the walls. For those you use the atrium bottoms, which include both wall and floors.
For higher floors, there's a different kind of tile called "hanging floors" which snap between two floors. Then there's "ceiling & floor" which you use to extend them.
czcams.com/video/ClXrc73gxWQ/video.html
I can't get the hanging floors to snap to literally anything. Can you point to an example video of someone using them?
I've tried using the tiles as they are labeled, and it's frustrating as Hell. There's an odd order of operation to them that takes several times, building a huge amount only to find that you can't finish it because ... well, creation engine. Using the mod to force something to snap is probably the only sane way to use the vault pieces.
So use Ceiling Bottoms ?
This video's a lifesaver 7 years later, my dude. Thanks for actually explaining how things connect omfg I was getting so fkn lost. ;-;
1x1 bathrooms can be made using the domestic tab. put down a Hallway and doorway piece with a wall end cap. it forms a 1x1 room for bathrooms, utility closets, etc.
I do hope they update this DLC because there are many many things that are left out. No stalls for toilets etc... And in utility thre needs to be the same kinds of pieces as domestic. There should also be atrium high ceiling extensions to make a wider atrium.
Guard uniforms, reactor room pieces, showers, nursery pieces, why no clean bath? But clean toilet and sink. Many more very frustrated
+Shaunagh Mulhall I used the v81 gaurd uniforms.
TheMadQueenShow figured out how to widen the Atrium. With elevators.
+dcy665 the elevators work in the vault?
Do the elevators snap?
Unless you scrap literally everything in all of the tunnels, and use the big prefab atrium sections instead of lots of little pieces, you'll hit your settlement build size cap long before you've finished building and furnishing a decent-sized vault. You should scrap those two enormous water towers in the main chamber too, they don't do anything useful and give a decent amount of steel. If you search down one of the tunnels you'll find a big yellow Vault-Tec water pump, which supplies 100 water for 20 power.
size limit can be extend by storing weapons man.
settlement size is a non-issue when you can just use the store weapon glitch to reduce it.
no that is jet US the gamers solving a problem by using a problem to solve the problem that should be solved by the developers who obviously know what's wrong if they tried out the dlc before releasing it.
Or just use a mod by DDProductions which increases the size limit of settlement. Works wonders on PC, don't know how/if it works on consoles. Better to use the mod then glitch with weapons..
I use a different mod (Higher Settlement Budget by GrimTech), but I haven't yet checked to see if it works in Vault 88. There are a few similar mods on Bethesda.net for console players, (just type "budget" into search) but it looks like some of them don't work in Vault 88. The gun glitch should still work though.
Easily the best video on this DLC, made it look so easy and gave tips! Thanks man!
What u mean this sucks

"It's not as big as you think."
Thanks, Davey.
The snapping issue you mention about 4 mins into the video is because you are using the base atrium floors, that are intended to be placed ground level instead of at elevation, when the game intends you to use the "hanging floors" that have support points for floors above ground level.
I'm using the ground floors so I can build rooms underneath - I should've mentioned that.
It happens with the hanging floors at times and the ceilings too, you have to put the wall in before the floor/ceiling. And also I had an easier time putting upper walls first then lower floors (except with the corner pieces, I think) even though I had my entrance on the ground level rather than raised like Davey.
+norespawns use the mid wall first and snap the normal floors to the hanging floor after
I found this video to serve as a great boost in the right direction with my build, but there's a few things I noticed that may/may not be helpful for anyone else: You can make the atrium longer by a bit if you build north-south instead of east-west direction, because the build size of that main area is roughly 12 by 17 tiles, though it tapers a bit on the south end. Also, there is actually enough room height-wise to make the atrium 3 walls high (one more than shown in this video), hence there being "lower" "middle" and "top" wall pieces. And finally, when you do make the atrium maximum height, I noticed that the lights that are installed at the top of the cave ceiling helps to illuminate the high ceiling of the atrium a little.
I know I can count on you to make this seem doable. I was so frustrated by this area after I finished the DLC portion. Putting all these pieces together to make a "proper" Vault was a nightmare. Thank you so much for posting this!! =)
Thanks this was helpful. Was getting stuck on what to do. And your video is the only one out of many that actually explains properly how to build. While everyone else just does things without explaining it.
This really helps I've been confused by the DLC immensely thanks for the help and hope to see more.
Just stumbled upon your video after spending a few frustrating hours trying to figure out how to snap everything together. Thank you for your clearing up how snapping works . Cheers!
I actually had problems coming up for an atrium with the massive vault space, and this really helped on what to make. Thanks!
Thaaaaank you for the 2x1 room tip (and to Cliff Smith below for the 1x1 one as well)! It was driving me nuts to not be able to make bathrooms smaller than 2x2. And also, the build order tip. Such a simple thing, yet one you don't really think would make a difference, and then it turns out it sometimes makes all the difference in the world.
Love that Metro: Last Light idea, that was also going through my mind while building the atrium.
Thanks for this. I was having a lot of trouble figuring out how all the atrium pieces go together.
It would be cool to make an "underground city" out of vault 88.
Check out ranger dave he made one and it was amazing
I know I'm extremely late by like 4 years but that's what oxhorn did
Okay not specifically in underground city but it was still a vault but it was a massive vault with like a bunch of like things it was pretty much like a tiny City with like pretty much a place I'd be even cooler and real life like you kind of parked your car right outside of the city and then it's just like interior Wise it's kind of small but too small and it has like all these shops all these housing like you'd be really nice in real life
@@crazham8332 I’m late by almost 6 lol struggling on the vault build lol
You can make 3 mini city's but that would take forever 😂
I was having so much trouble with all the snapping issues with this dlc. Some of what I saw here will probably help me a lot. Thanks.
I love this !! you are a life saver! trying to build a vault was so frustrating! i just didn't know why things wouldn't work. thank you so so much
This video has helped me out a lot thank you I'm new to the Fallout Franchise and it was driving me nuts because I didnt know what to do
This video helped me out as I like the concept of building vaults. Thanks, Davey!
Thanks for this video. I hope to see more videos on vault building. I about gave up on this place, as I couldn't make the rooms work or connect to different type rooms. This gives me hope.
Davey, btw. Your comments on not using the prefabs (bottom) while admirable is derp. The Bottom pieces actually have significant texture changes to the walls/doors/windows vs the middle and top
It definitely takes some getting used to and experimentation, but I'm really enjoying the vault building. My goal is to try and connect every area in the caves I can.
Uh... Goodluck.
NightMarrion Nightmare I know, right?
I was able to get it into two of the tunnels and then loop around to the mirelurk queen. I feel great about my hydroponics atrium there.
Owen McCauley u
Building is so fucking wonky right now and there are so many pieces in the "rooms" section that are missing but the new guard posts are EXCELLENT! I'll be using those all over the wasteland
Tell me about it. I was really pissed that I couldn't build ''reactor room'' with utility tab, because there's no standalone roof, only the pieces with floor, without walls and that's not helpful.
oh uh.. you uh.. poor sods.. Them guard posts can only be placed in the actual vault.. :( sorry.. mods maybe can help?
Ecalyptus90 Nah, I can use them everywhere and I'm on Ps4
In my game the "guard post desk" has "no collision" so you can't stand anything on top of it.
Yeah I wanted to put a check-in computer on top of mine and it just tries to sit on the floor.
its really easy to end up cramped in that main area so advice to anyone starting out: plan your area at least a little bit, get some corners put in place before you set up the ground floor entirely. it's much easier to add hallways and such when you know exactly where they need to end
Davey, if you place the railings and whatnot before the stairs, the stairs will snap into the railings filling in that gap (sometimes)
Ahhhhhh nice tip.
Thanks for the guide! Instead of leading myself to insanity because this would suck to do at first, I just built what you built and added a few extra rooms👍 good vid
You can build 1x1 rooms. On the far right end of the Domestic or Utility corridor menus you'll find Prefab Doorways and Wall End Caps which will snap together in any combination.
I was feeling smug as I discovered that too then saw your comment 😕
No worries, I'm happy to share the smugness :)
you sir are a legend
didn't work for me :(
Thank you Dave for this glorious build video, I have literally been constantly refreshing my CZcams page waiting for your uploads
Or you could just get push notifications....
that would be too easy
You do not appear to want help so have fun in traffic
Great vid! Answered all of my questions about Atrium pieces. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the help, I struggled so much building the atrium.
This video deserves a like.
I'm extremely dyslexic so all these shapes and pieces including all the glitching I almost Rage Quit LOL but I followed your step-by-step instruction and it's working out nicely for me thank you very much!
Been waiting for this for ages!!! Finally, im pleased
Man this video was great! Please do a full vault build ^^ I have no clue on how to build mine. and your atrium was amazing.
there are so many weird little things you have to figure out first. I spent an hour just understanding the different pieces and how everything went together. its actually a really cool system. tonight I'm going to start an epic vault! thanks for the tips!
"If the blood doesn't disappear, it'll be a bit of character":
Only at Norespawns.
Thanks for this. I was going nuts trying to work out how to start.
I dont understand why so much of the cave space is super tight tunnels. Like how the fuck am I supposed to build a vault through thar?
*there
I believe those places are just to be scrapped of resources so you can build in the giant area.
@@m_gabe_ultra it’s so you can make a giant vault
I feel you on the tiny bathrooms. I've been using corridor pieces, usually single length with a solid endcap. Domestic usually look better than utility, but it's to your taste. it can be a squeeze with a tub in, but for a studio WC it's great.
i really needed this, i had no idea how to start my vault thanks man
Awesome dude! I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. Looking forward to the next video.
Love this! Thanks for the tips and ideas. I can now make an creation of my own!
Could you guys check out my Vault 88 build on my channel? I would love tips on it.
I'm watching all of these again in 2022 because Davey will forever be a comforting presence in the world of Fallout 4!
Very well done walkthrough.
Very helpful. Makes vault building less overwhelming

Junk still sinks. Patience and supplies running low, as they keep disappearing into the ground.
29/07
Everytime I load in and out of Diamond City, junk in Hangman's sink. This may be my last log. Should've told the family I love them.
??/??
Found these logs. Junk sinking? I have no clue...the Minutemen are asking me to lead. Perhaps I should look out for the junk.
??/??
A settlement needs help. I'll mark it on your map.
I like using the Clinic room for bathrooms because of the white tile. I make them 1 by 2. I put down two atrium floors first, then attach two domestic wall end caps to the atrium floors. Then I remove the atrium floors, leaving the endcaps hanging, and put two of the clinic room pieces where the floors were. It basically lets me close off the clinic room using end caps that wouldn't normally snap to them if I put the room pieces down first. If that makes sense.... ;-).
thanks for the build I didn't know what to do with this room
Thank you for this vid, the vault is so overwhelming and hard to build in at first. Definitely need to scrap my atrium if I want any space. Also last light is a great game
This video is so underrated. Thanks bro.
You can use the domestic or utility pieces to make 1x1 rooms or you could make a big bathroom (like the one you might have in your workplace or school) that don't look so weird when they are big
omg thank you for figuring out the 2x1 rooms.
you can build 1x1 rooms with hallway to doorway piece and a domestic wall end cap
+Anthony Cardenas thx already got my domestic area down.
+Anthony Cardenas thank you so much for telling us this!! I just couldn't get the 2 x 1 rooms to work :D
In the Atrium areas of my vault I use the wood floor from the Wood tab for the floor. The wood doesn't naturally snap to the walls, but it will snap to the atrium floor pieces.
Hey man great job this helped a lot! Subscribed keep up the great work
Could you maybe show use how to make like the cafeteria and other rooms?
thx Davey, your vid got my atrium lookin sweet!
thanks a lot for those tips it was driving me crazy trying to figure it out! For some reason the pieces just didn't seem to want a snap for me
awesome now i got some more ideas building a vault Thanks!
I've been addicted to building my vault. It definitely has some bugs and glitches that need to be fixed. This helped me thank you! And also it pisses me off how you just can't build how ever much you want. They gave you that much space to build a vault but you can't build everywhere with vault 88 . :( I hope Bethesda can fix the max limit for building things
Enjoying this for the good use of vocabulary makes it a lot more funny to watch
btw something i learned when using the stairs - and i compared this to other vaults in the game - you want to use one of the two tilts where the railing bends away to the sides, if you use these ones, the railings will nicely connect to railings left and right if you add any there - it looks better then just using either of the rounded end pieces or using the normal ones and have two metal rods sticking out - ppl will would and could impale themself on these~
tl;dr
use the additional floor tile in the railing tab for nice looking railing connections, but have longer stairs as a malus.
Thanks for this video! It helps me a lot creating the Atrium. Hugs.
thank you!!! I didn't realise the settlers always spawn in there and I had an elevated atrium, they kept spawning in the supports underneath. Hopefully building a lower level on the Atrium will solve my problem.
That area is huge I mean when you go down the other wings, there so much room to build stuff XD. I built my living rooms down one of the wings down there. Cafeteria near the atrium and the clinic down the north wing.
Thank you dude this was super helpful
thanks for the help i really needed it.
Thus video is just what I needed thanks !
just a quick tip @norespawns if you do a bit of exploring down there you will find curcuit boards ther are 4 or 5 five i think, but they will allow you to use workbenches in other parts of the cavern
A pain in the knob! Love it!
Thanks for the video, now works fine, I'm playing this now.
Learned heaps from watching this, subscribing to you mate lol thanks heaps
Do you plan to make some videos for how to make a proper Vault Cafeteria, or Vault Casino room? It would be nice to see how you implant your creativity into the dlc.
your doing great man! Hopefully your CZcams career works out!
If you don't use the pre-fabs then you need a lot more pieces, which uses a lot more of you're settlement budget, and you might think "Oh well I can just cheat, or use glitches, or use a mod and get a bigger settlement" the problem with that is the more pieces not only does it use more budget it also completely rapes your performance
I'm going for a metro kind of vault too, using the new doors they added to at the other entrances to the different sections.
why didn't you do this the day it came out lol. it has done my head in.checking what snaps with what took me about 4 hours than I had to start my again. good video bro
For bathrooms and such I use the domestic tab hallway&door thing then snap a wall piece at the end
I did similar thing for ''hallway bathrooms'' Domestic hallway to doorway, doorway to hallway, cap the end and bam! 1x1 bathroom with door.
For the bridge you have used a 4 way crossing. There is a 3 way crossing, which would look a lot better.
thank u for making the hardest and most hard to understand tutorial that i have ever seen......
cheers for revealing yourself to be quite slow and easily frustrated - always makes me chuckle when a dumb person tries to pass off their inability to understand basic instructions as my fault lmao
thanks. this was incredibly helpful, and I agree. metro is awesome.
I've decided to build a regular looking vault, then redesign it to make it look like my character has found it and taken it over, then for the rest of the place make undrrground shanty town-like structures, this area would be the perfect and most realistic place to use the boxcars for building structures
the atrium as bathrooms, I like that. i need to mess with this because I have rebuilt my vault 8 times and each time I just dislike the overall thing due to the atrium being more than anything, useless and the wrong way so putting things off of it becomes a literal pain.
Yeeeaaahh I'm not sure what Bethesda was thinking making the opening cavern wider than it is long. It means if you want a huge atrium you need to snake the entrance around so it starts 90 degrees from the "opening" Or have the the entrance to the atrium on the side of the atrium. Or have the overseers office on the side.... Like... why? ungh
Thanks Man You're An Awesome You-Tuber.
My Atrium is Huge (titter ye not), 3 floors with two 3x3 rooms on each side on each floor plus large rooms at each end on each floor (including a 2 story room for my character) plus 2 additional floors of utility rooms that are behind the Atrium roof where my power plant sits. I still haven't fully completed some of the rooms but I have a Hydroponics section, Clinic, Cafeteria, Common Room, Gym, Bathrooms (which I will now edit based on some of the comments seen here) as well as an Overseers office. I haven't expanded past the first cavern (although I did hook up power to the water system) and have already way more space than my Vault Dwellers seem to need.
If I could find time to work out how to make videos on the Xbox I would post up a quick tour.
Got some good tips from your video though. Thanks!
Put in the stairs after the railings, that helps a bunch with the snapping.
I think the best way to use the space is making a big vault in the atrium and littler different vaults in the other sectors you unlock.
With the atrium end pieces you have to make the atrium one deeper because walls don't snap perpendicular to the end pieces to create a corner. And now your atrium is fucking enormous.
I am super stoked that the vault tec dlc allows you to build big and clean things
you could build some sort of metro 2033 shanty town down there
That's what I'm doing
Great idea friend! Now I know what to build.
I would want to see someone build a uranium mine sorta like the one from fallout 1 I think it was.
the wall mid and the "prefab" wall lower have different looks. the mid wall doesn't have a bottom trim while the bottom wall does. It's more of a hassle but it looks nicer
How are people building these large structures? I run up against settlement size restrictions almost immediately!
Mods - use settlement size unlock or you can use normal game you used to be able to glitch something and it would expand the size. Hope that helps.
for blood stains you can drop a manila folder and go into your build menu and pick the folder up and put it on the blood stain then pick it back up and no more blood stain.
Thank you so much bro!!👍
I needed this soooooo bad
Pirate m8
Good video. Thanks.
Love your Brit accent and sayings like "Pain in the knob".
well now i have to scrap everything I've done :) you inspired me.... lol
Neat, now all my dwellers can live in cupboards
actually this vault can be gigantic if you've activated every section; It stretches from the entrance to university point pharmacy to Milton general hospital, so it's one of the largest settlements.
