Fallout 4 - Graygarden Settlement Build Tour
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- This is a settlement build tour at Graygarden from my most recent lightly modded Fallout 4 playthrough, using only vanilla and DLC objects (with a little help from Place Everywhere) with some additional assets being spawned using console commands.
This is a Minutemen allied farming and trading settlement, with the existing robots focused on producing food and settlers providing goods and services to passing travellers. The settlement features a small marketplace which runs down the hill under the overpass, along with a large robot and power armour repair workshop in the warehouse at the centre of the settlement.
Along the cliff face two terraces have been built featuring the settlements bar and dinner along with a couple of homes and a utility room on the lower level. In addition to this there are a couple of homes for settlers along with some covered workshops and storage areas.

You're the the first person I've seen not go up and over and also put the main gate facing the bridge. Very nice.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
In my head canon most of the commonwealth has been developed by the general and all of your settlements are what he builds. Realistic and lived in builds! So cool!
Thanks! That’s pretty much the theme and end goal of my playthrough, with the Minutemen uniting and rebuilding the Commonwealth settlement by settlement. Still got a way to go but slowly getting there 😁.
Once again, a masterpiece, love the staggered look with all the buildings on different levels. Can't wait for what's next!
Really glad to hear you enjoyed, many thanks! 🙏😁
Once again, you have outdone yourself. There is something about your builds that feels so complex yet so simple, so clean and well-organized yet "crappy". Right now, I'm building at Oberland Station. It's the first blueprint that I downloaded from yours, and it also inspired me to start building. Before using your blueprint for Oberland Station, I didn't even know it was possible to make a settlement that good with only vanilla assets. I'll have a tour of it when I'm done.😉
Thank you! Shortly after I started posting videos I got a comment describing my builds as ‘scrappy but neat’ that I really liked, and is something I try to aim for with each of my settlements. I feel the settlers would try to make the best of what limited resources they have to build with. Sure it’s mostly made from scavenged junk, but they would still try to make the areas they live and work in as comfortable and organised as they could and hopefully not look like a complete scrapyard.
Never knew you had started uploading tours of your builds, looking forward to seeing your take on Oberland and dropped a sub so I don’t miss it 👍😁
I love that you added a robot workbench to this settlement, all of those Mr. Handy bots will certainly need maintenance.
I don’t often use the robot workbenches so this location just seemed like the perfect excuse to use one 😁.
Wow. The way youve used the landscape to your advantage, im beyond impressed this is just wow
I guess it’s a lesson learned from playing various city building games, but I always find you get better results trying to work with a landscape rather than trying to force a design on to and over it! Great to hear you liked it, many thanks!
I started watching your vids a while ago. I usually watch them all the way through because i love seeing how you put everythinf together. I play on a PS 4 so my mods are limited, but allow me to use alot more assets then vanilla. Since i started watching your builds though ive found myself using more of the vanilla pieces. Ive also found the way you do your layouts really helpful and have rebuilt several buildings and areas in my existing settlements. I've been playing Fallout 4 since 2016 and have yet to complete the main story, bacause I've alway wanted a fallout i could "rebuild" in, and that goes all the way back to fallout 1 when i played it in the 90s. Thank you for such great builds!
Lovely to hear you have been enjoying and finding the builds useful, much appreciated! 🙏😁
I've been racking my brain trying to figure this settlement out. I'm gonna model mine after yours! Great build!!!
Great to hear you liked the build and that it could provide some ideas for your own, hope it goes well! 👍😁
Just discovered your channel after playing the game again after many years(and watching the show again). Very pragmatic and creative use of space, and tasteful immersive use of mods. I commend you and will borrow some of your ideas in my more meager console xbox1 building. Thank you sir!
Great to hear you liked it and that the build might be able to provide some ideas for you own, thanks! 😁👍
You are absolutely fantastic man, I've downloaded like 3 or 4 of your settlements already, I haven't done a minutemen (my favorite faction) playthrough since like my first playthrough bc I suck at settlement building, and your builds have fixed that problem so I get to be the general for the first time since like 2016
Really pleased to hear you are using and enjoying the builds, many thanks! 🙏😁
This has to be about my favourite of your builds so far! It has been wonderful watching from episode one as this settlement build evolved. And the final results have not disappointed! So much stuff crammed into the location. Yet at the same time it feels like there is plenty of space for everyone and no one feels like they are on top of or being crowded out by the neighbours. So many details... I am going to have to re-watch this video numerous times to try and see all of them. Incredible work! 💖
Really glad to hear you have enjoyed watching the build series and the finished tour, many thanks! Had been concerned that some of my recent builds have become a little more performance heavy than I would like, so held back on the decoration a bit but feel I managed to find the right balance with this one 😁.
@@FiddleflapsVids I'd say you got the balance pretty well perfect. As I suspected, that bar looks amazing now that it's decorated! And it's justbone element in a magnificent build!!
By far my favourite build of yours!
Loveee layers in a settlement and you did so well~
Really pleased you enjoyed it, many thanks! 👍😁
Really beautiful and well done. Surprised you didn't jump on the crumbling overpass but it's better off as cover anyway, especially since your builds are so down to earth and sane and thoughtful. I wish you were the default simsettlements builder because I would set this to build automatically and then put my own bizzaro outpost mancave treehouse thing on the overpass. Or perhaps I would just use the bus as a trailer and sprawl out what's needed across lower platform like a campsite, so as to not detract from what's below. Much love
Thank you! I was slightly tempted to build on the overpass but felt the large tower structure needed to get up there really would not suit the style of settlements I like to make. Plus there’s a ton of unscrapable junk up that’s hard to build around, and have my doubts the settlers wonky pathing AI would ever be able to get up and down from there!
There is a mod that adds power lifts and I have intentionally left an area that could be converted into a platform for one to be added. I might possibly use that to build a player home / base on the overpass using it at some point (depending on if Starfield grabs too much of my attention), and then release it as a separate shorter vid and optional file for the blueprint 👍.
@@FiddleflapsVidsI would love to see a video of that!!
I'd love to see an updated Castle with everything you've learned since then. I love to see how people patch the walls and how they choose to set up the interior
Thanks! If I manage to complete my goal of building at each settlement at least once, then there are a couple of my earlier builds that I would like to revisit. Although I like the layout I came up with for The Castle it was the first fully decorated settlement I ever managed to complete, and suspect I would probably do things a little differently and hopefully be able to make a better job of it now.
@@FiddleflapsVids I would also be curious to see your build... nice work really love this grey garden one.
@@sydekontrol2330 Great to hear you liked it, thanks! 👍
I am impressed that they are still being updated today; I noticed that there were no blueprints for County crossing and for the first time I realized that these blueprints are works that are still being produced today. Thank you for all of your wonderful work. We have already used over 10 blueprints. They are all wonderful and add color to the world.
I am still actively building and slowing working towards my goal of eventually building at every location. It’s always so nice to hear from people who are using and enjoying the blueprints and much appreciated 🙏😁.
I respect this guy. this guy is awesome. It's great to do build all this without using the building add-on mode
Thanks! Admittedly this is not a pure vanilla build as I do use Place Everywhere to get around the games building limitations and restrictions, and also use console commands to spawn some objects that you normally cannot build 😉👍.
@FiddleflapsVids OK, I see. 😂
I want to see your other buildings.
Your build style is so good to me. They inspire me so much.
Have a nice day ! 😃
i like this mood. no music chill vibe only.❤
Great to hear you liked it, thank you! 👍😁
looks like something would be in the actual game, nice work
Thanks! 🙏😁
This an amazing build. Everything is decorated in such a way that it looks actually lived-in.
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Great job with the layout, working with that cliffside is a fun challenge.
Thanks! The cliffs were indeed a fun little challenge, there’s also quite a lot of space there to play with so imagine there are quite a few different ways they could be used.
Definitely a great build of Graygarden. Not cramp at all and very roomy. Excellent use of materials.
Really glad you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Nice build! A unique start from the red bridge and a good flow. I also like choosing that particular NPC for the Doctor! She seems like she fits the post! Really great work!!!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
Very impressive I wish there was some talking over the videos to here your thoughts and intentions on the settlement
Thanks, great to hear you liked it! No plans to add commentary to my videos, between lacking the right equipment and lack of mic skills I fear they would make the videos worst rather than improve them 😳😉.
Well this has 100% inspired me. I love how fallout is still great after nearly 10 years!
Always nice to hear the builds can provide people ideas, many thanks!
Loved this build awesome work on the cliffs. Also I love how you turn the settler voices off lol
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! I use the _tdetect_ console command when doing the tours to help keep the settlers quiet, and great for preventing auto conversations any time you approach a settler assigned to the clinic.
Love love love ur builds. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you! 🙏😀
Always impressed with the creativity of your builds, can't wait for your transfer settlement upload. I don't build my own, and only use yours in my game.
Always so nice to hear people are enjoying and using the blueprints, many thanks! Have got the blueprint exported and ready to go, just need to take some screenshots and setup the Nexus page. Hopefully should not take too long 😁.
Love that you included a night tour
Thanks! I just love the way this settlement looks at night (and spent a lot of time getting the lighting right) so wanted to show it off 😳🤣.
Bethesda needs to seriously consider hiring you cuz you ot hella talent
Great to hear you liked the build, thanks!
Dude 😱❤ so professional! The power cables? Where are they?! 😆 Amazing work
Thanks! You can see the power cables running between structures at a few points in build, although I generally run them along the back of, or on roofs of structures so they are partially hidden. I also used conduits to sink and run some power up the inside of one of the bridge supports.
Well done! It looks fantastic!
Glad you liked it! Many thanks! 🙏😁
Gosh your build videos always give me motivation to build in every settlement but sadly i have a PS5 and can't do it as smooth and seamless as you do on PC. Amazing videos as always 🙏🏽🔥
Great to hear you are enjoying the vids and they are able to provide some ideas, many thanks! 🙏😁
another excelent build well done!
Many thanks! 👍😁
such a unique and amazing build, i would really love to see a settlement at nordhagen beach
Great to hear you enjoyed it, many thanks! Nordhagen is on my to-do list (and is also a location I rather like) and plan to include as an option in the next build location poll. 👍
Nice work 🙌
Thanks! 🙏😁
I really like it. Brilliant job!
Great to hear you liked it, many thanks! 🙏😁
I know I'm tardy to the party unlike when I used to comment on every video, but I wanted to pop in and say that you've done it again! Good job on creating a nice linear settlement!
Thanks, glad you liked it and appreciate you popping by 👍😀
Incredible eye for design and decorating, You're a genius, a junk genius! maybe I play this game to much, that popped into my head while watching your vids(hint:Vault 81). I'd still watch your videos if you plan to make starfield builds, but not to sure i'll play that until much later.
Great to hear you liked the build and all the time spent decorating (it’s my least favourite part of building) is being appreciated, many thanks! 🙏😁
I’ve been building alongside you, building the best I can with limited tools on Xbox! You did an amazing job as usual fiddle, can’t wait to see where you go next! Cough Jamaica Plains cough
Thanks! Lovely to hear you have been building along with the series, and that you like the final build (have to admit I really pleased with how this one turned out 😁) . Although it’s one of my earlier builds that I would like to revisit at some point, I have already been to Jamaica Plain 😉
czcams.com/video/MqfibOKMW9s/video.htmlsi=9goV6WzDij6zq0Ay
First I'd like to say, love your builds and that you show the process. I watch them alot and use alot of your ideas. Second, I noticed you use the railings often and wondered if you know about the rails in concrete. At the very end of concrete past the stairs, it's hard to see, but the very last rails in that category clip to everything. If you knew and just didnt like them, that's understandable, just wanted to let you know if you didnt know as they are hard to see. Cant wait to see what you have for us next 😊
Great to hear you have been enjoying the tours and building vids, thanks! I am aware of those concrete railings and used each of them at least once in this build 😉. Have to confess to not a being huge fan of the concrete pieces and so don’t find myself going into its tab so often forget that those railings are even there, and should try to make more use of them 🤣.
Oh ha. Their too plain, I dont even pay attention to them. Lol
I have watched all of you build tours thus far, and I must say that this is among the best builds you've made! you are really great at filling in those little nooks and crannies in all of your settlements! I was wondering if you plan on doing croup mannor, it is my fav settlement,!
Also I think you should keep using the warhouse roll down door, it makes a settlement feel a lot more secure overall
also first
I guess I should say redoing it, you have made a lot of progress in you style over the last two years, and i would toataly watch a series where you go back a spruce up older builds
Thanks! Glad you appreciate all the little details as they are very time consuming to place, and often can spend as much time decorating as I do building the settlements main structures. You could say I have a love hate relationship when it comes to decorating… love how its looks when it’s all done but hate having to do it! 😉🤣
If I ever manage my goal of building at each location then I certainly would like to revisit some of my earlier builds. Would be nice for each location to have a building series, and some of my earlier builds I was never completely happy with and feel I could probably do a better job of them now 👍.
Also I could never play fallout 4 without at least 50 mods you're elite
Well my game does still have around 35 mods installed, it’s just most don’t effect settlement building part from Place Everywhere 😀.
@@FiddleflapsVids ah that's fair
Hey man you always do amazing work and I always look forward to new content! I've been thinking about something, in Sanctuary there are the npcs that hammer on the walls and use small blow torches or whatever on the house. I've seen you spawn in some weird items before, is there a way to spawn those work points so I can add some natural "workers" to a scrap yard? Besides using the scrap bench made super tiny lol 😅
Great to hear you have been enjoying the content, thank you! As far as I am aware there is no way to spawn those ‘hammer spots’, as they are markers rather than static objects and don’t show up in game.
Truly remarkable work you have done. How are you this creative?
Thank you! My creative process is basically lots of trial and error, and just throw pieces together and see what happens… Sometimes this works out great but more often than not I’ll end up tearing down and rebuilding stuff multiple times until I get something I am happy with 😅.
Another masterpiece! This has to be one of my favorite from you so far. And thank you for including a night tour! It looks awesome. If I were a wastelander I'd definetely prefer living here than in Diamond City. Thanks for sharing! And... do you already know which settlement will go next?
Great to hear you enjoyed it, thanks! No idea where the next build will be, have not done a poll for a while so might be fun to run one when it’s time to decide 👍😀.
@@FiddleflapsVidsIf you end up doing a poll could Nordhagen Beach be included, please? 🥺
@@sungarcia421 Will do! 👍😁
I keep coming back to your community page looking for your next build. Will you give us a poll or have you decided already?
As always amazing build. I use your settlement tours to fall asleep to.
Thanks! Not picked out the next build location but will be running a poll when it’s time to decide (aleady have two locations in mind from suggestions). Been really enjoying my first playthrough of Starfield and feel there is still so much I want to see and do in the game, so it might be a while before I head back to Fallout 4.
Awesome it look so cool I would love to have your save and get around all your settlements ❤ such a great work ! If I could had something I will be just some custom mods that give big wooden panel with the name of the settlement and stuff like traders welcome or fresh water ect otherwise perfection like always 🎉
Really glad you liked it, many thanks! Agree some custom signs would really finish off the build and add that extra little bit a character to the place, but guess I have only myself to blame for choosing not to use and object adding mods 😔🤣.
Just started a new playthrough, and am following along! Your builds are aesthetically exactly what I like, only so much better than I could ever do! Do you have plans to do all settlements? Would love to see the nuka world one!
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, thank you! I do hope to eventually get around to building at every settlement 👍
Lovely! As an additional question, do you plan to show how you put together the settlements for hangman’s alley or the castle, for instance? Definitely get more from your build vids than from your summary vids :-)
Sorry, no plans to do building vids for the settlements that don’t have them. If I manage to get all the settlements done I would like to revisit some of those earlier builds at some point, as I feel I have improved and could probably do a better job of them now.
Makes sense, and all good! Your vids have helped me to understand how you build, so when looking at your tours it’s possible to understand the layout. It’ll still be some time before I deviate from your setup, though, and start adding my own flavour! Lol
I've never taken the time to build anything more than a few automated defenses at this location. Usually I leave the robots to robot around in their garden.
Love that you use the barn or warehouse foundations to double as walls. I've tried that with varying degrees of success.
If I may ask, which tricks do you use to distribute power among the buildings? My settlements tend to end up spider-webbed by electrical wiring.
Great to hear you liked it, thanks! Although I do like the look of power cables strung between structures, it can sometimes as you mentioned turn into a spider web.
I usually like to run the wiring towards the back of structures so they are not as visible when in the settlement itself, and when possible having visible wires linking structures kept to a minimum. Find that way they help to add a little detail to the build when you can see theem without becoming an eyesore.
I'd love to see Hangman's alley if you don't have any plans for the next build
Not sure what’s next, but have already done a build at Hangman’s Alley 😉

Please do a decoration vid :( I would live to see your thought process on decorating settlements
Unfortunately I find decorating to be a very time consuming process, often involving a lot of trial and error and so like to take my time over to get looking right. As such I don’t make vids showing it, and I also like to keep something that people who have been following the build vids have not yet seen for the finished tours.
I did however as a one off make a decorating video showing the process I use for my Starlight Drive in build which you might enjoy:

Although it does not cover junk decoration, I did also show some furnishing of rooms during my Vault 88 build:

@@FiddleflapsVids all cool man. I was just hoping for more content from you lol
Love the finished product. Maybe do mechanist lair if you’re looking for a suggestion
Glad you liked it, thanks! Not sure what’s next, unfortunately have tried a few times to build at the Mechanists Lair and each time have been unable to come up with something I was happy with 😔.
@@FiddleflapsVids I can never figure it out either. It's about the same size as hangmans, but even with mods I've never been satisfied with what I've built
How did you unlock those guard posts? I have all DLC. Do I need to find a magazine or complete one of the DLCs?
Anyway, fantastic build! I never really know what to build at Graygarden - it's such a strange settlement. Quite small, except for its highway access that's too high up for any staircase I made to make a lick of sense (before I had elevators)
I appreciate your ability to make such amazing designs using just vanilla assets. Little things like the mats at the power armor station, I just wouldn't think of doing that.
Great to hear you are enjoying the builds, thank you! Those guard posts come with the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC, not 100% sure but I think you might need to complete the Vault 88 quest line to enable building vault objects at all settlements.
@@FiddleflapsVids no, thank you for making these! Very relaxing to watch and enjoyable! Thanks for the response, I'll level my character up and head to vault 88.
Ive watched the whole process
Thanks, hope you enjoyed! 🤞😁
You always want me to tear apart my settlement and burn them. I like how you seemed to build from the bottom up. I did from top down and it didn't flow well.
It’s very rare for me to get a settlement I am happy with on the first attempt. I’ll often get halfway through a build only to scrap it all and start again, using elements of what I felt worked previously and trying different approaches to areas I was not so happy with.
So the urge to scrap everything happens to us all, and can sometimes work out to improve your builds - but keep a backup save in case they don’t! 😅
What mods are you using to place anywhere and to have no build limit? I asked this question on one of your older videos, but I've forgot what you said, and the video the question was on
Also, I'm on a ps5 btw if that complicates things
I use the weapon storage glitch to reset the build limit when needed, also works on consoles:
czcams.com/video/PLg0cFpVUH0/video.html
I build using the Place Everywhere mod (its the only settlement mod I use) which is not available on consoles as it requires the script extender to work. I believe the closest alternative for PS would be QwaPA:
mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4038979
I wonder will a sentry be able to exit the settlement after assembly..
Never tested it, although I suspect it would need double ramps at the entrance as I doubt it would fit down the single ones I used.
Hell yeah. Starfield who
Hell yeah in the Nate voice
lol, sorry to say but now I am done with this place that’s exactly what I plan to spend the next few weeks playing... No plans to stop the settlement builds though, there just might not any new ones for a little while 😉🤣.
@@FiddleflapsVids Just gotta start doing starfield builds!
It’s certainly a possibility, although I have only played a couple of hours (mainly just to test how my PC runs it) I am not too sure how I feel about Starfield at the moment.. There every chance that the outpost system might not hook me in like building settlement has 😉👍
How many settlers can this support and make happy?
The settlement as shown in the tour has 9 human settlers but could support up to 12. Due to the penalty for having robots in the settlement, the happiness rating kept jumping between 72 and 73.
Hi i have an idea, could you build companions house for each settlement? For example, Hancock in hangman alley or Strong in murkwater. That would be a great idea for your next settlement build video.
Sounds like a good idea, thanks for the suggestion 👍.
can you do spectacle island build?
I am sure at some point I’ll get around to Spectacle Island, but as I expect it would be a massive time investment just not sure when.
Please do Longfellow cabin
I hope to eventually build at all the locations including the DLC, so Longfellow’s Cabin in on my list just not sure when I’ll get round to it 👍
Wow. I cannot get place anywhere to work, what am I doing wrong, yes I'm using Vortex & I've followed everything I can think of.
Maybe try installing Place *Everywhere* … Place Anywhere is for Xbox 😜🤣
Jokes aside are you running the game via ‘f4se_loader.exe’? The mod is a F4SE Plugin so it wont work if you start the game using the normal ‘fallout4.exe’. Also don’t use any of the optional INI files, just install the mod using Vortex and its ready to use.
@@FiddleflapsVids Okay I think I figured it out, ty, but is there any way to get it to stop floating through the floor? I want it to still kind of clip into place
@@strikeforcealpha9343 Sorry, but not quite sure what you are asking? I always build with Surface Snapping turned off (toggled using F2) and only enable it when I what to place objects onto a surface such as when placing furniture or workbenches. Not sure if that will help? Its also well worth reading through and playing with the mods various hotkeys.
@@FiddleflapsVidsAhhhh I will have a look tomorrow, you're being a GREAT help. Thank you! When I've done my version, I'll post it for you! I think surface snapping is turned off, because I can't just place stuff onto the floor, I have to place it over the floor and it drops down.
I know I've said this before but you sir are a fucknig genius. F2 for the wiiin.
If only xbox version was like this 😢
Pretty sure this could be very closely replicated on Xbox using Place Anywhere, along with USO and a scrapping mod to add the objects I spawned in and also removed using console commands.
Hey guys I need help I don't know how to add mods to fallout 4 I tried but failed trying to add the "place anywhere " mod 😔
What are you playing on, PC, Xbox or PS?
@@FiddleflapsVids no worries I found out what I did wrong 😅
@@FiddleflapsVids anyway you make amazing builds
@@pepechrist1070 Great to hear you sorted out the problem and thanks! 👍😁
@@FiddleflapsVids I have a new problem now I use F4SE 1.3.8 where I download the blueprint but in-game it says there are no blueprints
Your settlement building videos are always fun to watch, but I would like to see you build a factory using conveyor belts and manufacturing machinery, I think that would be quite fun to watch!
Thanks! Have to admit I have never really played around with the manufacturing DLC items, as they never seemed to have much use in game for my playstyle. Might be cool to play around with and something to bear in mind 👍
Please Spectacle Island 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Maybe one day I'll get around to it, but for now the thought of trying to fill all that space is the stuff of nightmares 😱😉
@@FiddleflapsVids bro I installed all your settlements because they are very atmospheric and most importantly do not break the lore You're great, don't give up on this🙏🫡
Great to hear you have been using and enjoying them, thanks! Currently on a bit of an extended break from building, hoping I'll get some inspiration and start up again in the new year.
