As a follow-up to my last post about housing in Fallout 76, I decided to just make the move from Vault 51 to somewhere that helps me achieve my goal (which is to help others).Ā
Building this place was IMMENSELY tedious because I had to reposition and delete objects time after time after time just to get the spacing right, but it all paid off in the end and I am very proud of myself for what Iāve built.
One of the two entrances to my home, guarded by automated turrets (mostly to fend off wildlife that spawns in the area and attacks my home).
Second Entranceās Guest Room. The second entrance leads to a room that has two beds, two storage chests and some nice decor to make it feel homey.
Main Entrance. Leads into the workshop as well as to the basement. Pretty basic design in the main entry, but Iāll be adding potted plants when I unlock them.
The Workshop. This area takes up most of the space on the top floor. It contains a power armor station, chemistry station, weapon workbench, armor workbench, tinkererās workshop, and a couch for resting when itās all done.
Deck on the North Side. Nice view overlooking the town below (which is filled with enemies), a grill and picnic table for a homey feel.
Deck on the West Side. When I unlock loungers, I intend to place them here. This area is gorgeous and provides an excellent view of the sunset. I know itās a video game, but itās still pretty.
Living Area (Basement). As I pointed out before, the main entrance leads to a stairway that takes you into the basement. The upper area needed to be dedicated to all of my work stations because those are what I need the most, but when I feel like just chilling and hanging with friends, this is the room to visit. It also has a brewing station and cooking stove, so it feels like the perfect hangout for a bachelor.
My Bedroom. Guest room is nice and all, but the master of the house needs to have their own master bedroom.
Industrial Area. Located below the house is my power shed (which houses the fusion generator), my mining device, my water pumps and my crops. The only thing that really creates any noise is the mining device, but that can easily be shut off with a switch.
If you play Fallout 76, I built my home at a tower just South East of Point Pleasant. Itās a wonderful location because most of the terrain at the base of the tower is flat, unlike most of them which have uneven terrain, and it has a junk pile you can set a resource harvester over for free gathering supplies. Since I built my home to help new players, having a gatherer that helps me resupply myself is crucial... and Iām a sucker for visuals, so having a place on a beautiful vista is extremely desirable.
Getting it in the tower was no small feat though. If you want to mimic my idea, it will require a lot of patience and persistence, but once you get it and find a design you like, it will really pay off in the end.
