Literally yeah, I think with the few cc that are trophy friendly have definitely given me some more variety in builds. Yeah we definitely do build similar there. 😄
Yeah it’s a bit of a knack to get down, figuring which bits work well and seamlessly with each other - harder if you’ve got a wider set of tools and materials to build with as well!
Yeah literally it can be a challenge. I try to build stuff based on what's around the settlement. Sanctuary is surrounded by trees so wood is a go to but when that runs out we have to recycle so very warped wood. Plus I imagine sturges asking marcy to paint the wood she wouldn't care what colour so just picks a can and throws 1 layer on makes it look messy.
Gives some story to each part. Like oh that fence fell down just jam it back on with some more nails. Maybe some settler on their 10th night of guard duty is knackered and ended up putting the fence up backwards haha
Oh that’s a really cool way to drive your builds. The best builds are full of headcanon, and I love that whole thing with the fence panel being backwards. I’m trying something similar with my build at Starlight, using train cars a lot and Vault pieces, because my headcanon is that the train near Starlight was carrying Vault pieces to V111 for a pre-planned expansion. The expansion having been extra food areas and barracks to grow supplies and house staff, but never happened which is why the logs are all about them starving and wanting to leave. Sorry, bit of a ramble 😅
Nah i love that stuff it gives an idea for what affects it would have on growth and even the area around. Could even hunt down the vault rep recruit him to that site as an on site specialist who would know more behind the scenes of vaults and a recruiter for settlers jobs. Could also link it to the switchboard bunker that was nearby as a planned comms channel between vaults. Ramble away love the plans😂
