Power Through Walls?

[BSwordsman]

So I am trying to keep my settlement nice and tidy by making a generator house. I put a switch on the wall and place a power conduit behind it and nothing happens. I am trying to run power through the wall so I can feed it to the rest of my buildings but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Make a Power Pylon(the Small ones) and wire it to your generator.

a switch needs to be wired directly afaik, I don't know any way of actually getting a powerline through a wall. only lights, tv's and such can be powered wirelessly by a coduit that i've seen. i just run a wire above or beside buildings to power lighting and such inside.

Unfortunatly is a bug and Bethesda may fix it. But for now it does the trick.

retardedly late I know but you can setup two points, link with cable and place a concrete wall between them. power will still run through the cable. what I'm looking for is a way to get power to run through an existing wall, ie I'm starting a build at Warwick and I'm tryna use the room between the tanks as the generator room, but don't wanna be running the power cable through the doorways!

done. conduit, wall pass-through. doesn't necessarily look the greatest but it'll do ;)

You can use the "wire glitch" to run wires between existing connecting points.

Point your cursor (in the middle of the screen) so that an existing wire is highlighted, but the cursor itself aims at the connector you want to use as you press to attach the wire. You should hear an electric zap for the connection and be able to attach the other end of the wire to another connector as desired, even passing through walls (it often cause selection glitches to occur afterwards until you exit build mode).

I use an excellent little mod for this called Wall Pass-Through Power Conduits. It's on Nexus here:

It just adds some conduits to the workbench designed to pass through walls or floors. You place one on one side and then snap another to the other side. Violá! Nice-looking and simple.

Check out Skooled Zone on youT, really great videos on lots of tricks.

Thanks peeps, finally made it back to lvl 115 so might give Douggie's one a crack later. Proud of my insane builds cos I don't use mods or cheats, just proper scavving and scrapping and lots of time and patience lining things up.

Good feature I found, bought a Logitech G502 proteus spectrum gaming mouse, and on the side of it there's a dpi-shift button. Have set it to spazdiklee slow so I can have a wall panel selected, hold the button and it moves like 1 frame per 5mm on the desk so to speak, so I can put stuff exactly where I want it to merge with existing structures, like the back of the barn at Sunshine Tidings.
