All The Picket Fences

[DaddyJokee]

I've finally collected all the picket fences magazines...and I'd like to make two comments, or points about it...

1) The one that gives you more decorations...really? All it gives is fricking pink flamingos?

and

2) High Tech Lighting my as*hole.

[Sad Cat]

Yeah, the high tech lighting was really underwelming for me. I like the design, and I tried to fill my bar in Starlight Drive with them, but quickly discovered they produce such low amounts of light that they're really not worth using as light sources.

Precisely. They produce a great light, but the reach is crappy. I removed all the lights from the house in DC, wanted to make it look all... posh, on account of me having like 50K caps, which is enough to buy the whole city. And I put 5 of the cieling ones that look like an upside down wedding cake, and it lit up the cieling greatly, but the room below was pitch black.

Yep. I have pictures on the wall of my bar, and I can't see a single one of them at night with these things as "light sources" unless I put them right on top of the paintings, which obviously blocks their view. Obviously we need a mod to increase the light range of these things.

I'm running vanilla, cause I have an aversion to Nexus Mod Manager...maybe when the GECK comes out...who knows...either way, this, and many other issues would be nice to have fixed in updates and DLCs.

Whats wrong with the mod manager? I've never had an issue with it.

Well, I don't know. Probably nothing. I just don't want to deal with it. Even though it's relatively easy. Just a personal choice.

Plus knowing myself, it would start out with more decorations, and ended up with a full world overhaul :D

I thought the pink flamingoes was the Wasteland Survival guide unlock? Decorating With Junk or something like that?

As for the lights, they are 'high tech' by 50's standards - just look at scifi from the era...

[Xyzzy]

[Turin the Mad]

Lynn Woods. It's the raider settlement NW of the Slog with the tall tower.

Yeah I was kind of dissapointed by the picket fence mag's, although I really liked the statues. I do agree I was kind of hoping for some more light provided from the high tech lights, was hoping for some neon to. I am interested in the raider/mutant clutter plus the signs haven't checked them out yet.

Apparently neon lights are coming with Wasteland Workshop (second DLC) and undoubtedly there are already mods which offer this too...

Yeah I noticed it said it would have Nixi tube lighting and in the pic for the dlc it appears to have neon lighting between the death claw and the PC. I am excited for the Wasteland Workshop, I enjoy building and I want to see all the additions they are adding. I don't mind mods and I can't wait for the geck to increase what modders can do I am just lazy lol.

Personally I really want more military settlement items, like the prefab defenses you can find everywhere used by the BoS and Gunners. You can even find semi trailers filled with unused ones in certain places. I also want those trailers used for construction or mobile homes I think they would make perfect prefab style military/research housing units if they were painted right. It would be cool to build the wall/ceiling mounted turrets to.

Pink Flamingos is actually a Wasteland Survival Guide, not Picket Fences.

Also if you complete the Cabot House quests you unlock the three paintings (Emogene, Jack, and the parents.)

The new signs were a really nice addition since most had to do with your stores.
