Settlement Builds for Noobs | Bunker Hill

I myself like the favela aesthetic, but I noticed when I build it myself is still ends up being more on the cleaner side. I remember being fascinated with Megaton when I played FO3 for the first time. What a time that was!

If you go outside the fence where the original toilets were, you'll find a couple of large tanks out there. I always figured they were composting toilets, since fertilizer is one of the things that is commonly available across the Commonwealth. EDIT: It's also, with the barn or warehouse set, possible to put a second story inside the main building if you want to do so; it's where I put my main bunkhouse, usually.

9:45 I definitely did not completely lose my train of thought and fail to edit that out... would never happen... yep definitely planned...

I usually put bunkhouse on top of the central building, using the scaffolding around the obelisk as a starting point for ramps or stairs leading up to it. Settlers actually use it!

Don't sell yourself short. You did a great job, and it is wonderful to see the videos in which you nudge yourself away from your concrete comfort zone (See: Jamaica Plain). This site is such a pain for building that I often ignore it, unless I'm doing a BoS run. In that case, an occupation force has to be in place in case the remnants of the Railroad get any ideas. The barn assets fit well if you want to build inside the central, communal area. I tend to put a second bar/dance hall up there & leave Savoldi's to the crusty guys with gin blossoms. I'm a bit surprised you didn't build a mortar launcher near your rooftop chapel so they can chase away radstorms & rain for gatherings. I suppose they could always induce a radstorm if they're Children of Atom cultists.

I believe you have done this settlement, justice. You didn't let us down, you opened many eyes and minds of what can possibly be done. I think it looks better.

I can see where you are coming from. It's good to see you try something different. It does look like a shanty town.

I use the scrappy aesthetic most of the time because the very much cleaner concentrate/metal/prewar aesthetic seems out of place.

Good job!! I actually enjoy building at bunker hill due to the challenges of non scrapable objects. I am actually playing fallout 4 right now and I am building up Egrets Tours Marina into a mega settlement.

Just so you know you can use the Scaffolding set to use the unscrapable scaffolding to reach the roof over the market area so you don't have to make a separate stairs to reach the roof. It makes the whole settlement feel bigger when you have to go around the tower to get to the roof, and allows for more of a natural aesthetic break point between the scrappiness of the ground level and putting more of a recovered from the apocalypse look on the roof.

Great build! Really fits the aesthetic of Bunker Hill IMO

I have many mods that change the rust aesthetic to clean-modern. No one would, ever, intentionally live in a rusty shack. They might live in a sanded-board shack.

Bunker Hill is a prick of a settlement to build at. Keeping the additions to a minimum has worked out well for you in my opinion.

That Brahim stays there anyway. Even without a trough.

I love the idea of building here but I never do it! I love what you did! It is way better than what I could do! I love all of your FO4 vids! Great job, keep up the great work!

I have to say that I disagree with you and would say that in no way did you "fail" your subscribers. I personally think that this is a great build and it has given me some ideas for my own expansion of Bunker Hill. Happy new year to you and yours GG.

I have more hours in fallout 4 than I’d like to admit and yet have never unlocked bunker hill 😅 It’s going to be the next thing I do when I hop on the game

I didn’t know this was a settlement 😮

FYI, the original outhouse is on the second floor with the bottom of the toilet hanging over the wall. so where does the poop go? on the ground just outside the wall. lol

I knew this can be a settlement, but I've never actually claimed it. Kinda sad considering I've been playing FO4 since the day it came out.
