Settlement Builds For Noobs: Warwick Homestead

In my headcanon, Warwick, the Castle, and Spectacle Island form a defensive network called the Iron Triangle, essentially operating as a single decentralized base. Warwick is fairly easy to fortify, with two tough, reinforced concrete buildings, and the approach to the location is over open ground. Warwick and the Castle are close enough to mutually support each other with artillery, making them very difficult to assault. Spectacle Island, behind them, has lots of space for farming and fishing, and can run boats to the two forts to keep them supplied in case of siege.

This is why Settlement Attacks Beyond is an absolutely essential mod, alongside the Unofficial patch and the one that stops radiant quests from the Commonwealth sending you to Far Harbor or Nuka World.

Very nice and clean. I like it. I saw a comment recently where someone was complaining about players building with rotten wood and rusty metal and everyone was still living surrounded by piles of trash. That commentor has obviously not seen any of your videos. I watched your Starlight and Red rocket builds yesterday, now this one and I see Kingston Lighthouse on my recommended list, so that one will be next. BTW I subscribed after watching the first one. Like Mama Murphy, I see great things for your sub count once the fans of FO4 find your vids. Well done.

This is actually a really good build. At first I thought it look overkill but it make sense. There's actually a maintenance room across the walkway, nothing much in there tbh. I just put extra bed and leave like that. Just like the Castle, Warwick settlements only had 1 spawn so it's easily defendable.

Heh... that's my hometown. Didn't know it was in fallout.

cool to see you making these vids in 2022 👍

You don't have to go endgame Institute to unlock Warwick. You can unlock it at any time by doing a short fetch quest for Mrs Warwick. A quest that incidentally introduces you to The Coolest Faction In The Commonwealth.

You know that you can build here after you do minuteman quest that give you and you get rid of a group for them and that's early game

Best part of Warwick homestead is any Settlement attacks all spawn on the single path of dirt leading to the settlement. You can set up rocket turrets half way between where you spawn and where they spawm, and its one of the easiest settlement defenses ever since 6 rocket turrets will decimate any group that pops up. I remember a dozen super mutants popped up, heard the screech of my turrets activating, and the giant ball of explosions with super mutant parts flying everywhere a second later... Also concrete pillars snap really well and can mesh into the guard rail to make it look nicer.

you know its gonna be a great video when grey's mic clips like a dozen times

My minimalist builds always end up with hallway ends, side by side, each "bedroom" containing a bed, a bench, and a light. Your builds are much more fun and give me simple, attainable build ideas and your videos are quite entertaining.

Always interesting to see build sites with more of the default structures in place. Didn't know about the gourds. If it doesn't produce noodle cups or veggie starch...I get rid of it & don't plant more. Still nice to see options should I ever play a normal game. Extensive building becomes more of a challenge for me in survival runs. It takes longer to get things in place to make money to buy shipments of goods, and by the time that happens there are already plenty of settlers in place.

I am enjoying see your builds. You have a great attention to detail. I have been checking out your different builds and will try some of the ideas on my builds.👍👍

Enjoy your work a lot. Any chance you would do a secondary series on settlement builds using sim settlements two? Also I'm pretty sure there's a concrete half wall You can use to fill in those hanging concrete areas you say people don't like.

Your videos gave me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing.

You can unlock Warwick Homestead pretty early on. You'll just miss out on a side quest for the Institute, but there's no requirement to unlock it.

Its hard to rebuild when you get attacked by super mutants, monsters, and raiders and radiation storms happening quite often

It takes some time,but I always put a 360 wall around thecentire settlement. Mirelurks and shit will try to get in from the water side and rear if you don't.

You're making me want to break out my FO4 and get back to building settlements...

Man you’re making me want to get back into fallout, unfortunate you didn’t catch the bit on the wall, one would think they’d be sure to have the attackers spawn outside of the build area so players wouldn’t have to worry about using the whole space.
