Fallout 4 - Building at Finch Farm 07 (Overpass Access Tower)

Published 2024-07-10
This series covers the construction of my settlement at Finch Farm. Apart from Place Everywhere no settlement object mods were used, and only uses vanilla and DLC objects with some additional assets being spawned using Console Commands.

In the seventh part of the series I create a tower providing access to the overpass. This features two levels with a small covered seating area on the lower, along with hanging platform along with a settlement home on the upper.

The following objects were added using the placethere console command followed by the objects Form ID. The command was run via a batch file using a hotkey mod to avoid having to open the console:

    That is the most unique way of connecting the overpass with the ground at Finch Farm! I was utterly transfixed watching you piecing that wonderful collection of structures together... And I absolutely love the attention to detail you put into the "engineering" of the whole with all of those supports to enhance immersion! That has to be one of the best builds you have yet come up with!!

    Wow, Fiddle, I think you've outdone yourself. That was amazing to watch. I love it.
  • A WOW from me too! I think this was your most ambitious build I've seen yet. Amazing!
  • I'm currently using all your settlement layouts in my current game. I like every details that you put into your settlements. They are so detailed and immersive plus not over-built. It warms my heart to see that you are still building as of today. Thank you for doing this for us.
  • Very cool. Don’t even think about hooking up to the overpass.

    This is so fun! I'm still shook with the chains, it looks great!
  • That looks absoolutely amazing! As always, you make it look easy. I love the meshing effect for the road. I was a bit nervous about the chains, until you connected the other side to the pillar and it looks amazing AND stable. Great job!

    This is some of your best work mate, console commands really doing a lot here! Brilliant! Hoping to see some Nuka Red Rocket at some point in the future!

    This looks pretty good. However it is good that wind doesn't exist in Fallout 4, because that hanging platform would be terrifying on a windy day.
  • @FrostyLucas
    Good job fiddle! enjoyable content as always ❤

    My finch farm I have covered the highway with flooring and then build shops with bedrooms behind them. To get down to the floor I used scaffolding ramps. It's enabled me to use much of the ground for farming. Worked extremely well for me. I named the market at the top, market highway

    That my friend is the best Finch Farm build I have ever seen! I wish I had your imagination. btw my Place Everywhere isn't working properly any more. The placing part of it does, but the 'fine tuning' doesn't work which is a shame and sorta spoils it for me.
  • this was amazing! I was wondering if you are planing to build more structures up on top of the overpass? I imagine you would make some amazing things up there!

    You have some serious patience my friend. You should be a teacher.
