Vault 88 megabuild: mapping and raw numbers

[mfree]

So tonight's session was basically a lot of lights, a quick pre-plan tour of the 'prison zone' off the side of the subway tunnels, and putting more of what I've done on graph paper.

And the reason I keep getting turned around in the museum section is now pretty obvious. The main atrium, I've drawn each floor very comfortably on half of an 8.5x11 sheet of 1/4" grid graphing paper.

The museum? M1 (main floor) has it's own sheet; open M1 floor space is 101 squares, with a 6sq security room that deals with the exit to the pharmacy basement, a 10 square room that's to be the 'restoration workshop', and 2 1sq lavoratories. There's also stairs to M2C, an upstairs cafe in a clear area around a rock column, that's another 4sq entry+11sq cafe+2sq store room+1sq lav. Then there's M2 which is the curator's office and quarters w/lav, and another office on M3 with efficiency quarters/lav. M4's 'blank', and M5 is only technical since that stairwell runs immediately into research, R1.

One hundred and one squares worth of open display space. Jeez.

Mapping the utility section was about as bad, but it's split into 6 separate drawings on one sheet because it's a bit mangled as to how it had to fit around the pump and within the walls.

Industrial's the only one left, and it's gonna be a nightmare because of all the apartments and the multiple floors... got 6 pages of maps already.

Wish there was a tool out there that could take a FO4 save and generate a 3d map.

FWIW, the amount of open space on the ground floor of the main atrium (which you've all seen if you've hit the vids and the artwork before)? 49 squares.

The museum open area is slightly more than TWICE the size of the atrium's open floor.

No damn wonder I get lost!

It's an area I built. I've built the entire vault out (hence 'megabuild').
Vid 1 starts at 1:52, vid 2 starts at 12:50. Technical/training issues on my part. These are way out of date as a lot more's been added since.

Again, just the atrium section and more has been added;

nice i like it, im working on my plan for my vault88,
im still deciding whether or not i should keep the overseer,
ive done a test build which makes the atrium the entire floorspace and build height of the main area with waterways,trees, stone pathing and a wooden bridge. but you have inspired me to expand to the other areas also.. might post pics one day. good work
