How do I use the reactor that comes with Vault 88?

[Flippy]

How do I use the Vault 88 reactor? String power all the way out the door? How does it work? Thanks.

Also i watched a preview of Vault 88 and I thought the power was run through the walls? I find I am having to strong power on the outside of buildings. Is this the way it works or?

The floors are powered.

You plant the vault conduit panel on a wall to hook wires too. The conduit panels act just like wire conduit do radiating power (still need wires for some stuff) except the floors are the wiring.

Sometimes you have to pick up and put down the conduit panels, for some reason they go dead, kinda like lamps and lights can.

Yeah just place that white rectangular gizmo on a wall, from the power/control menu, and it will power light and you can hook to it for things that require power.

This seems to be the case with anything you have built but as for the pre-existing stuff like at the front of the vault (main entrance) i cant get any of those panels to attach to anything....id like to run some power out to that part so i can setup a few things.... am i missing something here?

Funny enough I tried to build a air ship out of vault mess , for whatever reason with just vault items I could not get it to work either .

Been putting my settlements in the air because the last month it seems all the enemies now spawn inside my settlements past the walls .

My first go around I built larger settlements this didn't happen but now that I build then small it happens all the time .

Turns out walls are a waste of materials and time now

Ya, unfortunately the devs werent smart enough to put in snap points for the conduit panels in the "original vault area."

If you use tcl and go under the floor in the front you'll see regular conduits under the floor running to the main chamber, I was using tlc to get by the overseer to check the Vault 88 containers that respawn to empty them so more would fill and that was how I discovered the power conduits being wired to the main vault, also found a camp fire way below the main chamber floating there for some strange reason!..

Learn something new everyday .

I was watching a 4 trailer and the guy was talking about missed detail that Bethesda randomly does for fun that people often miss .

I really wish they would do more hidden quest that you have to work to find
