Building a vault is frustrating.

[Khailik]

How the hell do you transition from a staircase to a room?

I just started building my vault and the first thing I want to build is my Overseers office. I have the stairs in place and I can't figure out how to transition from the stairs/hallway with door to the overseer building pieces. They won't snap together and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe using the wrong doorframe? What? Someone help me out here lol.

You need two door frames, one from ech side you are builing, for example atrium frame + overseer frame

Go into structure menu and its either under ceilings or floors

It's kinda chaotic, but once you figure out there are doorways that snap to room types. You just have to sift though the room types to find that doorway. Total PITA caus I know like you having to navigae and try to find a specific structure from among the differrent room times is boggingly mad but once you get the hang of it, it's second nature. With a grain of salt.

Use doors to connect different parts.
Vault pieces sucks , especially the atrium part.
Some piece that are suppose to fit together don't snap with each other sometime.
Some of them need to be put in a certain order or they won't work.
You also got different part like bottom part and top part that won't snap together and the mid/corner wall....♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pain sometime. Don't get me started on the ceilling lol.

Just experiment and don't let those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pieces of ♥♥♥♥ pieces that i would love to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ burn to the ground get to you.....

There is a residential doorway endcap/door element (last one in the list) which seems to be needed at least some of the time when you try to connect stairways to room door elements.

the vault parts make the original settlement building parts look breezy easy. What I don't get is why they gave us such a huge area, but won't give us a way to connect the main vault with the exit near the hospital. I am trying to make a hall that leads from that exit to the main area, but there is junk that doesn't allow me to snap things together.

I kinda wish they made pieces more like the mobile game, where you could just snap entire rooms and areas together. Because building it into an actual functional vault is extremely tedius. Especially since the space is devided up so much that you can't make one big building, you have to tunnel off into smaller areas.

I ultimately decided to ignore everything but the main area and just try to make a semi-functional 2-story vault.

the vault building is quite tricky and as mentioned above itsthe door you need to learn how to master.

sadly though you might wind up like moast of us and not build an actual vault more then once due to how wonky it is.

Vault building is clunky as hell..even Bethesda seemed to have problems, if you TCL under the generator room there are special conduits and wires.

As for the building, you are best playing around with what fits where, before you build full on. Shame nobody put flat pack instructions in the DLC.

hopefully they will be smarter next game and reinstate the ''steward'' from hearthfire dlc and allow us to pay caps/mats and time and watch the settlement/vaults build themselves.

Yeah, that wasn't bad it was a great stepping stone for settlement system. I also did enjoy it.

You need to have a "doorway" in order to connect different area style pieces. Some pieces already have doorways, like the 4-way doorway in the altrium set. Others, you will have to build a doorway cap. Yes, it was confusing until I figured that out but trial and error and it gets much easier.
