What happens when I move my camp?

[Dumbrik]

Do I need to rebuild it from scrath? With blueprints for examples?
Or do I get the same house and I just need to find the perfect placement?

If you blueprint it you just have to find a place it will fit and you're good to go

Depends what you mean by move. You mean go to the map and change the camp to another one? Or you mean going into your pip boy and place the active camp somewhere else?

If the latter then you will place an empty camp and your current camp will be stored. It will be blueprinted automatically, but it's a bit bugged. Placing a blueprinted camp can be a total pain in the rear due to the area you're placing it in, size of the camp and the limited view you have of the blueprint while placing. Although right now you have "free mode" should make it a bit easier. Still sucks I think.

Why would you want to relocate your camp? You can have multiple camps at the same time. Unless of course you're maxed out on camps and just want to move it elsewhere.

Like Razer said, placing a blueprinted camp rarely works. If you have a smallish camp that has everything built on foundations and no stairs to ground, or you use single prefab that fits everything inside it should work. But if you haven't designed your camp to be moved from the start placing it from blueprints usually doesn't work.

If you are picking up your camp from one location to another, the default is for the game to blueprint the entire camp so you can place it elsewhere.

The reality is that putting down a camp in a new place rarely if ever works. The blueprinted structure has an incredibly low probability of being placed in a new location due to differences in the terrain.

The good news is that you don’t lose all of the materials used in the crafting. You can go into the blueprinted and “scrap” it. This will take all of the walls, floors, ceilings, crafting benches etc. and place the individual components in your stored tab. That way you can just put them down in a new configuration.

You get a set of buildings that were in the old camp. If you wish, you can disassemble all the buildings into separate segments of the camp (not trash). Be careful and do not disassemble everything into the trash. At the new camp site, you will be able to install all the saved buildings, but the object can float, that is, not be installed. In this case, disassembly into segments of buildings can help (do not accidentally disassemble into the trash, be careful).
