Building vaults in settlements ?

[Andrius227]

Is that possible ? I thought i saw a video where it showed building a vault above surface in one of the settlements. And i think i did see the vault stuff in the workshop of one of the settlements. But now i tried to do it in Sanctuary and Starlight Drive In and the vault building menu is just not there ??? Whats up with that ? Is vault building limited to specific settlements or something ? What am i missing ?

You got Vault tec workshop dlc? start quest and advance in it should allow you.

I think you need to finish the vault tech quest line to get vault items to build outside.

an use it in any settlement???

♥♥♥♥ I was wondering why there wasn't a mod to do that.

Turns out I'm just a moron.

Thank you!

I built domestic units on top of the red rocket. :) All my robots there took a bed each. It's my trade route hub.

I replaced my old wooden structure at the drive in with atrium pieces. Put my turrets around the edge. Only problem I had was that I wanted to put missile turrets at the very top and I couldn't put a generator on top. It just fell through. :(

do you have any mods to increase settlement building space? I had that issue before with spring cleaning.

Nope, I play vanilla. Maybe not as sexy as mods. But I don't have to worry about anything breaking when an update comes along.

Try this, build some stairs that go above the level of the roof and put some turrets on the smaller wooden floors that connect to the stairs, then remove the stairs :)

its the trick I always use to get turrets up higher

Sorry, it wasn't the turrets that were the problem. They would sit on top of the vault atrium with no problem. I just couldn't put a generator up there. It fell through the ceiling/floor. Then again I didn't try floating it like you suggest.

yea just have it float, it will work for the generator too, its just a trick I use to get things where I want when it can't sit on a specific object

select the generator with console

modpos <axis> <number>

example:
modpos x -39
modpos y 213

the position will stick for as long as you dont move the generator somewhere else
