Anyone good at building?

[Crxzy]

Hello steam. This is gonna be a decent chunk of a post. I want a C.A.M.P that looks really good. I have tried to create masterpiece bases, but they always end up being mediocre. That's due to the building limitations and the ignorant system of pieces not snapping or placing when they so obviously can be placed. The building system is very frustrating.

I know the Merge glitches and have done it for various items. I just don't have the patience to spend hours at a time working on a small portion of my base.

I am looking for someone who can make a base look aesthetically pleasing to look at and walk around. Not a floating base not connected to anything. A Realistic looking wonderland that really captivates the people coming to it.

I wont pay IRL Bucks for it but we can negotiate in game items. I'm down to grind for items or trade materials for something like this. If you don't want to build for me, some resources on how to build an amazing looking base would be greatly appreciated as well.

Building it yourself will be far more rewarding. A few general tips:

Look in your build menus for anything that has a theme. For example if you have a lot of Red Rocket stuff you can build a petrol (gas) station or diner.

Plan a theme around your allies. Having something that the allies will naturally inhabit makes the whole thing feel more realistic. For example Daphne has a toy box so could fit in a toy or comic shop.

Once you have an idea look at real world buildings, especially from WV. Think how it could be recreated or inspired to fit the build limitations of the game. Then you find a spot on the map that would fit (shops near roads etc.) and get building.

Taking time to figure out the quirks of the build system can be as relaxing as it is frustrating but in the end it is yours to display proudly to the world.

I see a whole lot of people just make boxes, don't do this it looks boring. Just changing from a box shape to something like a "L" shape can make a huge difference from the get go.

I don't mess with merging but one trick for doing interior walls (if you want to have separate rooms with different wallpapers) is to place the door version of the wall as it will let you place them back to back where a normal wall will only let you place one (hope this one makes sense as i'm hangry at the moment).

Once you place the doors you can go back and replace them with a wall and boom, you can have a wallpaper on both sides of the wall instead of having a wallpaper on one side. Just keep in mind it will use more resources and CAMP budget but I think it makes a huge difference.

If you don't have a whole lot of stuff to decorate with try building smaller as it will not make it look as empty.

Don't feel like you have to use every square inch of your CAMP space as if you build too many structures, you will not have any budget left for decorations etc. Doing this will also leave you space for upgrading or changing stuff around once you get more stuff to bling out your base.

One thing I like to do is take screenshots of other bases that I come across. There are some really creative people out there that always amaze me and inspire me in my own creations.

I made a cafe which says "Gimme da ♥♥♥♥♥" in neon letters outside...
Is that immersive enough ? XD

I think my base is nice though , most of it

To the OP, I feel ya. I built a pretty nice hunting lodge, but some of the walls didn't quite snap together right, and trying to fix just makes it worse. Considering scrapping it and starting over, but not confident it will go any better.

You obviously have never seen a camp my wife has built.

Please don't.

"Thank a man for doing his job enough times it'll go to his head." (Can't remember or find the quote source, was a movie I think).

Not that's this is a job, just bored and have a lot of time in the day. Don't like it when it does become a 'job' instead of for fun.

OK, I won't do it anymore, maybe.

Part of the challenge is to make something nice, with the budget, we are allotted. Free stuff, from the game, for caps is nice, some paintings, Vault Tec Posters, look up with your favorite search engine, Falllout 76 camp items. A few Fan wikis, are out there. Seasons sometimes have rewards, of building sets, and camp items, wall papers, and doodads for your cap. If you don't have room for something, try the In game "free shelter" quest from the Train Station. It depends on what your want your camp to look like, and where you are on the map. Brick, Wood, Steel, Red Barn, are free walls you can pick up at the White spring, or its train station. If you have atoms from the score board, you buy stuff when it shows up in the atomic shop, but its up to you. Look at other peoples camps get ideas, and make it your own. Good luck with your building.

I think its also a good idea to be conscious of the geography of where you have placed your camp. Don't place your camp on a slope and then try and build a flat camp. If there are pronounced rises and falls to the land, or interesting existing features, try to utilise these.

If you want to experiment with some ideas, but don't want to burn through your collected resources, claim a workshop and test out your ideas using the free workshop resources. I've found Tyler County Dirt Track to be a good spot for this. Fairly easy location and a lot of flat area.

It's hard to build a good camp for others because most good items are from the atom shop or from a season, and you can't drop those for other people and neither can you move something the camp owner has dropped onto floor (only they can move things they place). So not a good experience for anyone.

i'll let them know

if they don't answer i'll punish them by placing my abominations (post-modernism btw ) in their neighborhood
