Efficient settlement building #Oxhorn

Friendly pro tips from Oxhorn, for those who access to the quality of life mod "Settlement Management Software".
Build a ridiculous amount of turrets that obliterate anything that spawns, it's the most effective way to defened everything you've built.

Yes the video is old, but the same rules apply to the game mechanics.


Edit: There is NOTHING wrong with building aesthetic nice looking stuff AND properly defend something you'd spent hours and hours on.
Plus it's hilarious with a raiders saying "Oh ♥♥♥♥ this!" and watch them being blown into pieces within 2 seconds.

I feel dumber for even watching the first few minutes, lol.

1. Settlers prefer tatoes.
2. The settlement is a waste because it is not able to make glue. It should have been 12 tatos food, 6 corn, 6 mutfruit for 24 food.
3. The scavenging stations are about useless if the workbench is over 155 scrap.
4. No guard dogs for happiness/defense.

I like Oxhorn, the way he talks. However, since he uses a lot mods and that is not anything I am interesting in using, I much prefer The Skooled Zone videos. He uses no mods, so I was able to learn a lot from him early on, knowing every tip he offered, was something I could do without resorting to a mod.

I know in this video he says he is not using any mods ( except he is ), but uses console commands. The only time I ever used the console in settlements is to get rid of dead bodies and skeletons. Or the original turrets in Covenant.

Also I like my setting buildings and such, looking realistic possible. Huge platforms or buildings, not supported with beams or such, is not realistically possible.

Useful to have to avoid enemies spawning inside your constructs.

I'm not an expert, but after x amount of hundreds of hours, I'd say have at least +200-300 defense with minimum 6-9 missile turrets.
(For me it usually takes between 3-60 seconds to
successfully defend a settlement)

I can assure you that the amount of F people going to give about that is probably close to 0. Most people would just concern for aesthetic rather than turning every settlement into Fort Knox.
