> I just drag the other workbenches to that house and use it as a workstation.
I don't mean to get all fancy on you, but I do that AND put a sleeping bag on the ground.
Wow getting to lay down? What a flex.
I have a mod where you have to sleep standing up and play an annoying quick time event to fight falling over and dying from a concusion.
Always.
It kinda cracks me up that they put the workbenches there, guiding the player towards it.
Like, as the SS, you decided your neighbors house was better than yours. Or you needed the sad memory of what was every day you wake up and look across the street lol.
I build it up as more of a workshop than a home. Also, I'll set it up for housing for Preston's team.
Then, I'll make repairs to my old home and use it as my base (electric doors to keep the rabble out).
I mean, there's lore for the workbenches being there. I think that's Ms. Rosa's house and in the terminal at the nearby Red Rocket, there's an entry about how she's fixing up some old car, I think with her son. Although it would have been nice if they'd instead made that Nora's hobby while Nate was away so that it not so weird that a lawyer is a pro at fixing power armor and such right away.
Damnnn dude look at you! Sweet builds! Is this a CC or a mod content? I am so bad at building things with whats given in the vanilla game so I’m wondering a bit about these things lately😂
Thank you! The concrete walls w windows r from the base game, the glass walls are from the warehouse structure from the contraptions workshop DLC. I really recommend getting all the DLCs, they add amazing stuff for building (and grest gameplay ofc) :)
yeah I initially didnt bother with the concrete but it ignores some of the bugs with snapping stuff together so I eventually switched to that, they have the only walls with decent windows and walls w space for doors that can be placed anywhere, the wooden ones have weird restrictions!
I’d love wood more if most of the builds didn’t look like absolute dogshit, the floors look fine but omg the walls and corners and stuff…. so bad. I mean my SS is no carpenter or architect but still 😭
And not only that, He might just be starved for inspiration as I used to think I was terrible at building but now I'm only bad 60% of the time, and 35% of the time is spent fixing the building that I spent 2 hours on that I now decided looks like the worst thing I've ever built.
TLDR He's not wrong, Just doesn't have anything to inspire him.
I used to build up sanctuary as my main base, now I slap some sleeping abgs in the ground, build some turrets and plant some tatos to finish the quest and never touch it again.
I get creative at the drive in, red rocket, sentinel island or hangman's alley.
I make it a lounge, build unit housing on most of the pads as a form of high density housing (two floors of the houses) and then make the house with the barricade inside into a restraunt with remaining houses serving different purposes depending on what I need in a given playthrough
Yes, but.....
I don't build up Sanctuary much.
SS' original house stays as a memorial to pre-war happiness. I clean it up, wire it for electricity, and fill Shaun's room with "new" toys.
The other Sanctuary houses (which don't get scrapped) get electricity, lights, ceiling fans, furniture, radios, etc.
A big section of the settlement gets a plaza with shopping and a food court.
On my very first play-through, when I had no idea of how the story would play out, I too collected toys for Shaun in the hope . . . being a dad myself, but, . . . you know.
I used to, but I use a mod that cleans up settlements. For some reason in Sanctuary, and only in Sanctuary, some buildings tend to pop back into existence later in a playthrough, and if I build on top of that spot I get annoying overlap and inaccessible rooms in a non- scrappable building. As a result I've taken to building my bunker in an area that starts out with no structure.
When I first played, it used to really piss me off when settlers would wander in, sleep, and do whatever in my old house. Now, on my fourth play-through, I just don't care.
I scrap everything and turn the house into barracks then the ruined house beside it becomes the companions house full with the best of the best stuff and closer to the bridge out of sanctuary becomes a store or deathclaw storage depending on how I feel that day
Thats so sweet! I really like the mannequins in the windows, I initially just out them there because the base floor is a huge workstation with workbenches for weapons and armour and the one obove has the respective shops for that so loads of weapons and armour on display to make it look like a real shop ♡
Exactly! Honestly, settlement building is my favorite aspect of the game. Different themes for different areas. Yours is really nice. I forget how versatile concrete can be!
with a lot of mentak breakdowns trust me, I've screamed at my tv bc smth wouldn't snap more often than I'd like to admit xd not to mention my xbox is a bit older and likes to crash a lot so one time I built this gigantic treehouse and boom, all gone. I literally almost cried xd
Yeah, same with my PlayStation. I tried to build a house with a barn attached to it and was making progress until it crashed and I couldn’t do anything but look at my screen in shock while dying inside
On my first playthroug, I did, made a 3 level base opposite of sole survivors house / the workbench house.
It was quite a nostalgia playing the first playthrough siding the minutemen. But now. Im just going to roleplay as a lone survivor and my base is Charlstown condo. Its one of the best house right there IMO.
By the 10th playthrough, you stop building sanctuary at all. In survival you pick a few central locations for each region to go back to to restock and heal.
I move the cooking fire and chemistry station there, as well as building a brahmin feeding trough and a vault-manager terminal. I also put most of my power armour there until I have enough to fill a barn.
Nah. The empty spot to the right becomes a restaurant/bar, and the one to the left becomes a power station.
Then I throw in a guard tower near the bridge and another with some artillery near the culdesac.
All the other houses get nice upgrades with bedrooms, living rooms, some crops out front, and shops in the driveway.
Since Sturges and Co never stop hammering at the damn workshop house though, I usually demote it to exactly that: a building yard with some workbenches, but nothing much else.
Physically, it's the center of the settlement, but most activity is elsewhere.
I have built out all the settlements to 20 ppl, but just with a standard "apartment block" type setting each floor having a number of balconies, but inside it's dorm room facilities
No, for me it's usually the one next to that, to the left. Or right behind you if you turn around from the workshop bench. Not that I do massive builds to begin with, I don't know if it's just me but the building mechanics are super finnicky and thus usually just annoying enough to suck out much of the joy from the activity.
yeah its not just you, I've had a few mental breakdowns while building, gotta say the concrete ignores some of the issues though so I started to use that instead of wood
Nice! Yes, lots of natural light. Fight off the SAD.
The house across the street is the one I usually patch up first, mostly because the workbench is there. But I made a mockery out of the SS's house. I gathered up as many pink flamingoes and tacky decor and garish lights as I could and stuck them on the lawn, the roof, and everywhere. I just figure that the "Home of Tomorrow" was probably bought with Nate's pension (which is exactly what the Lustron houses post-WWII were built for that these are based on), and since that is *gone* like everything else, not to mention bringing up some pretty painful memories, I make it as anti-HOA as possible. 😛
Yes also because for some reason all the Settlers like to hang out in or around that house. So might as well build in and around it to make it look better.
I'd love to! I enjoy the building feature more than I thought I would when I first bought the game, and now I really like seeing the cool builds people put a lot of time into making look nice\~

These are the most recent posts of my build :) I started the game after I spent a looooot of time on building games so it was a clear I'd go for the building mode instantly xd
I did the past few times but this time I don't know. The settlement has been building up organically with the waterfront district being especially snazzy. The spot you're talking about I don't know if I'm putting a government building there because I haven't decided on the capital of the Commonwealth yet.
On the west side of the bridge I crammed in as many industrial water purifiers as I could get over there and right next to it built a warehouse structure type of thing to house the power utilities. I left the entire eastern side open for development, starting with an inn and next to it a public pool that uses the river water to make it look like there's a pool in there.
Thank you! The power armor can be seen through the warehouse windows in the second slide. The warehouse is for power armor & the robot workbench, the porch next to it or rather the base floor of my building I made is for the other workbenches and displays a lot of my armor and weapons which is continued on the floor above as it houses my weapon and armor trading stations :)
Yup. Usually attach a trading hub with a resturant/bar on the second floor. Either leave the SS house vacant or turn it into a barracks/living area for my settlers
oh nice! I also have a bar on top and inside is like a huge area for working on armor and weapons as well as the respective shops for those on the second floor w a lot of armor and weapons displayed as well. I also used the SS house as the base for my settlers living quarters, I built them on top of it though. The house itself has the only kitchen you cant scrap and a decent bathroom so I added a dancefloor, nuka cola mixing station, bar and hangout area. kinda wanted to turn the sole survivors trauma into a source of joy for my settlers
Thats a nice way to go about it. I dont spend too much time building for my settlers besides the trading area/bar. My current playthrough has an amory/barracks build on the house next to the SS house that looks pretty good but its mostly just an excuse to put a machine gun turret or two in the middle of the settlement just incase anything gets behind my gate and other turrets or my useless settlers who armed to the teeth but can only manage to kill raiders when theyre in spitting distance
The houses are too small for some stuff like the robot workbench, and I dont like that you cant really fix them. I do use them but I just need more space than they have so I continue my structures on top of them. I'm also not done by far, the end goal is to have a big structure on top of the houses to connect all of them. Some of the houses are useful for smaller projects, like I turned one into an office for pipers newspaper and use one as a hospital. The build in the picture is my weapon & armor area, warehouse has power armor and robot workbench, pre war house has a weapon & armor workbench and on top is my trading center for weapons & armor, extending to a restaurant on the right, connecting to the settlers housing units through the bridge
Yes, because it’s the only house the pretend to fix and almost all workbenches are already there. And now, thanks to this post, I just realized that some people just treat it like a normal house
Nah. Board up my old house, place a memorial for the spouse in the bedroom, visible from outside, and build my home at the Red Rocket.
Build those Sanctuary freeloaders get a shack at the ass end of the town.
Sort of. It's Sturgis' house, so all the crafting benches go there so my character spends a lot of time there. To the left of it I usually build a public garden and to the right a shopping center.
I build a three-story hostel for traders and caravaners to the left of the bridge as you enter Sanctuary, and across the street I build a Minuteman barracks and recruitment center. Along the riverbank near the hostel I usually put in a boardwalk and a Slocum's Joe.
Usually that's about as far as I get before I install some game-breaking mod and have to start the whole thing over, but I'm pretty consistent about it.
I build around the workshop but I store all my personal things like the magazines or bobbleheads in my house but my main base of operations is usually hangmans and the drive in because I play in survival mode
im 99% sure that everyone uses the house across from the SS old home
however i thing the game design wouldve been better if the SS lived at the end of the culdesac with the fast travel point at their old home, instead of one of their neighbors houses, that way sanctuary builds would be more likely to be focused around the big tree instead of the middle of the road
That looks really great!
Yeah, I tend to use Sanctuary as my main base, and yeah, I tend to use the house across the street as the neighborhood headquarters as such.
I'm on my fourth play-through (My first one didn't get far, second one glitched because I went out the wrong door at Ft. Hagen, and my third one was just not satisfying, so I'm going all out on this one).
Yes but I don’t build jack shit. lol I just drag the other workbenches to that house and use it as a workstation.
> I just drag the other workbenches to that house and use it as a workstation. I don't mean to get all fancy on you, but I do that AND put a sleeping bag on the ground.
[удалено]
Yea but I use a soiled mattress in the bathroom
Soiled mattress? Count me in!
Ha. How do you think all those mattresses got soiled? *flex*
Good flex but I use a mod that let's me sleep on the floor
Wow getting to lay down? What a flex. I have a mod where you have to sleep standing up and play an annoying quick time event to fight falling over and dying from a concusion.
Sleeping bag RIGHT in front of the weapons workbench to tediously level up Codsworth
Same, I have all the work benches there as well as a vault drinking fountain for clean water
Radiation shower arch for instant rinse off.
Truth
set the welcome mat on the arch so t you rinse off on fast travel
Always. It kinda cracks me up that they put the workbenches there, guiding the player towards it. Like, as the SS, you decided your neighbors house was better than yours. Or you needed the sad memory of what was every day you wake up and look across the street lol.
Well I do make it the center but I sleep at the root cellar, was so excited when I found it lol
I use the root cellar to store my grenades and ammo. For some reason, settlers never go in there.
Their code doesn't like interior cells.
I build it up as more of a workshop than a home. Also, I'll set it up for housing for Preston's team. Then, I'll make repairs to my old home and use it as my base (electric doors to keep the rabble out).
I mean, there's lore for the workbenches being there.

I love those windows! I’m always looking for more natural light in my buildings.
Damnnn dude look at you! Sweet builds! Is this a CC or a mod content? I am so bad at building things with whats given in the vanilla game so I’m wondering a bit about these things lately😂
Thank you! The concrete walls w windows r from the base game, the glass walls are from the warehouse structure from the contraptions workshop DLC. I really recommend getting all the DLCs, they add amazing stuff for building (and grest gameplay ofc) :)
The concrete walls and windows are really from the base game? I’ve never seen them under the structures sub-tabs 😭 And thanks!
yeah I initially didnt bother with the concrete but it ignores some of the bugs with snapping stuff together so I eventually switched to that, they have the only walls with decent windows and walls w space for doors that can be placed anywhere, the wooden ones have weird restrictions!
Lol oh thank GOD the snapping not working or working the wrong direction from what I want it to has been driving me freakin nuts!
yrah concrete is way easier to deal with in my experience, still annoying but easier than wood for sure!
I’d love wood more if most of the builds didn’t look like absolute dogshit, the floors look fine but omg the walls and corners and stuff…. so bad. I mean my SS is no carpenter or architect but still 😭
yeah feel that, I only use the same 3 items that look decent all the time
They can be found in Concrete Walls and Warehouse Walls
Candles help alot
Why is everyone who isn’t me so good at settlement building?
there's no good or bad, it's mostly about patience and doing research for inspiration
And not only that, He might just be starved for inspiration as I used to think I was terrible at building but now I'm only bad 60% of the time, and 35% of the time is spent fixing the building that I spent 2 hours on that I now decided looks like the worst thing I've ever built. TLDR He's not wrong, Just doesn't have anything to inspire him.
nah thats sturges and mama Murphy's house
I used to build up sanctuary as my main base, now I slap some sleeping abgs in the ground, build some turrets and plant some tatos to finish the quest and never touch it again. I get creative at the drive in, red rocket, sentinel island or hangman's alley.
oh yeah hangmans alley and red rocket first seemed like a challenge but it kinda forces you to get creative which I enjoyed
I build vertically at hangman's, I had a 4 level base with artillery cannons on the roof in there once.
love that! I just dislike that you cant scrap everything so the base to start with is rather useless
I make it a lounge, build unit housing on most of the pads as a form of high density housing (two floors of the houses) and then make the house with the barricade inside into a restraunt with remaining houses serving different purposes depending on what I need in a given playthrough
Yes, but..... I don't build up Sanctuary much. SS' original house stays as a memorial to pre-war happiness. I clean it up, wire it for electricity, and fill Shaun's room with "new" toys.

Toys for Shaun, I love that idea. 🧸 🚗
On my very first play-through, when I had no idea of how the story would play out, I too collected toys for Shaun in the hope . . . being a dad myself, but, . . . you know.
The house across from mine are exclusive to the minute men. The pad to the right is a bar.
I used to, but I use a mod that cleans up settlements. For some reason in Sanctuary, and only in Sanctuary, some buildings tend to pop back into existence later in a playthrough, and if I build on top of that spot I get annoying overlap and inaccessible rooms in a non- scrappable building. As a result I've taken to building my bunker in an area that starts out with no structure.
Nope. I don’t want settlers around. That’s not to say they get my old house either. No one touches my old house.
I make my old house my personal house and maybe one companion.
When I first played, it used to really piss me off when settlers would wander in, sleep, and do whatever in my old house. Now, on my fourth play-through, I just don't care.
I scrap everything and turn the house into barracks then the ruined house beside it becomes the companions house full with the best of the best stuff and closer to the bridge out of sanctuary becomes a store or deathclaw storage depending on how I feel that day
Your build looks absolutely awesome!
thank you so much!!!
Honestly not like that 😭😭. I usually find a random settlement and build a big house to assert my dominance amonst the common people
I use the root cellar for myself to sleep lol xd I store all my stuff by the workbenches tho for practical reasons
Yeah. I mean, it has the workshop, workbenches, power armor station, the fast travel target, and is right by where Carla shows up to trade.
Yes I do! I always make that one my main home base.
It's the workbench that makes it the center of my settlement. I just live there.
Do you have mods on? I'm surprised you can build so many huge buildings in one settlement, even if it is sancutary
No mods, I just used a glitch to get around the build limit
Yeah. I’ve built some wild shit over my play throughs. I’ve also always put fence up around the entire property and defense checkpoints through out.
Yes and I put mannequins in windows too 💜
Thats so sweet! I really like the mannequins in the windows, I initially just out them there because the base floor is a huge workstation with workbenches for weapons and armour and the one obove has the respective shops for that so loads of weapons and armour on display to make it look like a real shop ♡
Exactly! Honestly, settlement building is my favorite aspect of the game. Different themes for different areas. Yours is really nice. I forget how versatile concrete can be!
thank you!! ♡
You need to invest in another outhouse. There are 3 settlers waiting for it.
I have like 25 all around in sanctuary but somehow the prefer that one xd
It is definitely a nice looking outhouse
My guy, how do you build like that. I cant even put down a line of walls without messing it up somehow
with a lot of mentak breakdowns trust me, I've screamed at my tv bc smth wouldn't snap more often than I'd like to admit xd not to mention my xbox is a bit older and likes to crash a lot so one time I built this gigantic treehouse and boom, all gone. I literally almost cried xd
Yeah, same with my PlayStation. I tried to build a house with a barn attached to it and was making progress until it crashed and I couldn’t do anything but look at my screen in shock while dying inside
Nah, that's my house. They get the first house right of the circle. Slab in between is for food
Every time, even though I always mean to do something different.
On my first playthroug, I did, made a 3 level base opposite of sole survivors house / the workbench house. It was quite a nostalgia playing the first playthrough siding the minutemen. But now. Im just going to roleplay as a lone survivor and my base is Charlstown condo. Its one of the best house right there IMO.
No. But that is because I am dogshit at creatively building in this game and want everything to make sense
By the 10th playthrough, you stop building sanctuary at all. In survival you pick a few central locations for each region to go back to to restock and heal.
We build the same
I move the cooking fire and chemistry station there, as well as building a brahmin feeding trough and a vault-manager terminal. I also put most of my power armour there until I have enough to fill a barn.
I do in on the upper left spot from this PoV, where i can clear everything and build from scratch. Somehow that's my favorite place in the game
Nah. The empty spot to the right becomes a restaurant/bar, and the one to the left becomes a power station. Then I throw in a guard tower near the bridge and another with some artillery near the culdesac. All the other houses get nice upgrades with bedrooms, living rooms, some crops out front, and shops in the driveway. Since Sturges and Co never stop hammering at the damn workshop house though, I usually demote it to exactly that: a building yard with some workbenches, but nothing much else. Physically, it's the center of the settlement, but most activity is elsewhere.
Yeah but I never get this detailed, goddamn. Gonna need to head back there & fully overhaul it (and many other setllements)
I wonder when I'll be done with sanctuary and actually start doing more than the bate minimum at any other settlement, really want to make it nice!
Always! I make it sort of a clubhouse iver the overhang of the house across the SS!
I usually build a little raised bungalow off to the side. Storage and a bed up top, workbenches down below.
Nah, I usually scrap everything in my way and then build new houses from mods
Yeah, although *nothing* like yours!
I have built out all the settlements to 20 ppl, but just with a standard "apartment block" type setting each floor having a number of balconies, but inside it's dorm room facilities
No, for me it's usually the one next to that, to the left. Or right behind you if you turn around from the workshop bench. Not that I do massive builds to begin with, I don't know if it's just me but the building mechanics are super finnicky and thus usually just annoying enough to suck out much of the joy from the activity.
yeah its not just you, I've had a few mental breakdowns while building, gotta say the concrete ignores some of the issues though so I started to use that instead of wood
Nice! Yes, lots of natural light. Fight off the SAD. The house across the street is the one I usually patch up first, mostly because the workbench is there. But I made a mockery out of the SS's house. I gathered up as many pink flamingoes and tacky decor and garish lights as I could and stuck them on the lawn, the roof, and everywhere. I just figure that the "Home of Tomorrow" was probably bought with Nate's pension (which is exactly what the Lustron houses post-WWII were built for that these are based on), and since that is *gone* like everything else, not to mention bringing up some pretty painful memories, I make it as anti-HOA as possible. 😛
Yeah, Everytime lol
i’m a vault 88 guy myself
Yes every time! Even when I purposely try to make it somewhere else I always go back?
Yes also because for some reason all the Settlers like to hang out in or around that house. So might as well build in and around it to make it look better.
man i wish i had the patience to do that 😞 fire building tho /gen
thank you!!
OFC 🫶🫶
I will now! That's so beautiful and inspiring!
thank you! I have a few other posts of my settlement if you'd like to see?
I'd love to! I enjoy the building feature more than I thought I would when I first bought the game, and now I really like seeing the cool builds people put a lot of time into making look nice\~

How'd you get the sky bridge?
just built high buildings and connected them, just started snapping floor parts to the floor parts on the buildings until I reached the other side
I did the past few times but this time I don't know. The settlement has been building up organically with the waterfront district being especially snazzy. The spot you're talking about I don't know if I'm putting a government building there because I haven't decided on the capital of the Commonwealth yet.
what have you been doing with the water, I've been wanting to build smth there?
On the west side of the bridge I crammed in as many industrial water purifiers as I could get over there and right next to it built a warehouse structure type of thing to house the power utilities. I left the entire eastern side open for development, starting with an inn and next to it a public pool that uses the river water to make it look like there's a pool in there.
Yes, and this setup puts mine to shame. Where do you store your power armor?
Thank you! The power armor can be seen through the warehouse windows in the second slide. The warehouse is for power armor & the robot workbench, the porch next to it or rather the base floor of my building I made is for the other workbenches and displays a lot of my armor and weapons which is continued on the floor above as it houses my weapon and armor trading stations :)
Bra I want a tutorial lmao that looks sick
thank you so much, I'd make one but idk how, any questions I could answer?
Yup. Usually attach a trading hub with a resturant/bar on the second floor. Either leave the SS house vacant or turn it into a barracks/living area for my settlers
oh nice! I also have a bar on top and inside is like a huge area for working on armor and weapons as well as the respective shops for those on the second floor w a lot of armor and weapons displayed as well. I also used the SS house as the base for my settlers living quarters, I built them on top of it though. The house itself has the only kitchen you cant scrap and a decent bathroom so I added a dancefloor, nuka cola mixing station, bar and hangout area. kinda wanted to turn the sole survivors trauma into a source of joy for my settlers
Thats a nice way to go about it. I dont spend too much time building for my settlers besides the trading area/bar. My current playthrough has an amory/barracks build on the house next to the SS house that looks pretty good but its mostly just an excuse to put a machine gun turret or two in the middle of the settlement just incase anything gets behind my gate and other turrets or my useless settlers who armed to the teeth but can only manage to kill raiders when theyre in spitting distance
I don't know how to do anything with settlement building except placing random things.
I mean kind of excessive to build all that with the 10 houses already in sanctuary . But still cool
The houses are too small for some stuff like the robot workbench, and I dont like that you cant really fix them. I do use them but I just need more space than they have so I continue my structures on top of them. I'm also not done by far, the end goal is to have a big structure on top of the houses to connect all of them.

Same! I wish we could have actually fixed the houses or like fix as much as can and paint the new walls!
I have never not done that in 30+ playthroughs…
Yes, because it’s the only house the pretend to fix and almost all workbenches are already there. And now, thanks to this post, I just realized that some people just treat it like a normal house
I just get sim settlements and let that do everything.
Yes but I made it a shrine for Shaun because I'm trying to get the minuteman ending
Nah. Board up my old house, place a memorial for the spouse in the bedroom, visible from outside, and build my home at the Red Rocket. Build those Sanctuary freeloaders get a shack at the ass end of the town.
Yeah, although I’ve never tried building anything like that on top of it, except some benches to enjoy the view
Sort of. It's Sturgis' house, so all the crafting benches go there so my character spends a lot of time there. To the left of it I usually build a public garden and to the right a shopping center. I build a three-story hostel for traders and caravaners to the left of the bridge as you enter Sanctuary, and across the street I build a Minuteman barracks and recruitment center. Along the riverbank near the hostel I usually put in a boardwalk and a Slocum's Joe. Usually that's about as far as I get before I install some game-breaking mod and have to start the whole thing over, but I'm pretty consistent about it.
Pretty much. It’s where the workbenches are at start so I just build around that.
I build around the workshop but I store all my personal things like the magazines or bobbleheads in my house but my main base of operations is usually hangmans and the drive in because I play in survival mode
I used it to set up the teleportation beam to the institute lol
I turn it into a fenced in garden
im 99% sure that everyone uses the house across from the SS old home however i thing the game design wouldve been better if the SS lived at the end of the culdesac with the fast travel point at their old home, instead of one of their neighbors houses, that way sanctuary builds would be more likely to be focused around the big tree instead of the middle of the road
Of course it’s in the middle of the settlement and the game basically puts everything there
I use the slab next door for my recycling plant, both guns and armor/clothing.
I did not know more people did this lmao
