These 6yo videos are my go-to when I run into frustrating snags. I like to stay a generation behind in my gaming, so Starfield being the current Bethesda thing means I'm just now big into Fallout 4. Not too concerned with making things showy and seamless, but these videos are still vital! Thanks for putting your tips down in the history books of KZfaq.

Hey Brother. I am a PS guy that doesnt use mods. My character is level 180 and his boots have stomped a lot of ground in the Commonwealth and beyond. When I decided to start building and start settlements, you helped out greatly. Thanks for the help. Almost all I asked about videos on building told me about an obnoxiuos guy wearing a bowler. Lol. Seriously? Lol. Another Veteran told me about you. Good job on the lessons Brother. Youve taught an old Army Grunt a lot to keep busy with. Peace out.

I have a theory that part of the reason this guy's videos are so good is because of his voice; he's definitely got a voice for radio, so to speak. The information is always important, but so is presentation, and Paul knows how to present it.

You are without doubt the king of Fallout 4 building tutorials. I binge watched these a few years ago and now that I’m playing it again have forgotten all you taught me! So glad these vids are still available to me. Keep well and thanks for all your hard work.

The incredible density of screw related puns all arriving from a single incident is very humorous.

Man youve helped me so so much i know this is 3 years old and still so useful. Thx for the Videos. Hopefully your doing well

Seriously, are you this patient and pleasant in your "real" life? Another awesome video.

Deathpaw is clearly the best, I'm totally calling my cat that.

I found a neat trick if you are trying to move from one settlement to another with everything that you’ve collected you can equipped all your settlers with power armor so they can hold more and move your power armor and then load them up with as much of whatever they can carry and address them to move to the desired settlement

I love the basketball hoop shield idea

Some prebuilt houses the door will snap into it without the pillar glitch. An example is the players house. The side door is missing, the one that leads to the car. Thanks for adding the PlayStation button, I hope you continue to do so!

This was Soooo helpful! I'm building a "colloseum" on Spectacle Island and the shacks were greatly impeding my build. I will say though watching 30 super mutants battle 10 death claw was totally worth the effort! 👍

Thanks for all hard work you put in you are different from other people on KZfaq you produce honest Vids that don't screw people over for views thank you

the vendors (general) that won't work with the rug glitch, to get them to work you just have to put a conga line of default rugs under it, like wayyy more than you'd think, like 10-20, and put the vendor somewhere in the middle, until it pops up on to the rugs, and boom it works

I dont know what it is but your videos are so good.

I had a pointer acceleration issue for the longest time and couldn't play FO4. Since the changing of hands I am able to play again. Been too long! Anyhoo... I've been bingeing your vids. Then saving them. Then subscribing. You have a very easy tone. Love your pace. I don't feel like I need coke, adderall and 5 cups of coffee to keep up. High thumbs up and the best to you! Thanks!

I love your puns it reminds me of my pastor at my church it makes me happy

Don't get much time to jump on KZfaq as much anymore but it makes me happy to see this channel growing so much!

Thanks for the tips, I usually use the doors of the warehouse because you can place them without needing a frame, but now I can use any door!

I had never thought about sinking the generator! great video!

Out houses are very useful for keeping doors flush with the ground before you go to move it. Helps work around the gap that doorways create.

If you pay REALLY close attention when placing doors, most the time you can see the hinges as you place it, and that will let you know what direction the door opens as you place it.

I love the vid as usual and thanks for the shout out glad that I was able to help a little with this. Can't wait for more videos 👍🏻

Another great video. I definitely like the idea of the different tips and tricks from your viewers put together in one video! 👍

Still playing this game and loving it. Thanks for the great tips.

I don't have anywhere near your level of patience--I'm on PC--and for years I used the script extender and a mod called Place Anywhere. After reinstalling Fallout 4, the script extender is being dumb and not recognizing that FO4 is installed. Since I didn't feel like reinstalling everything, I decided it was finally time to watch your videos and try out your tricks for myself. I'm enjoying the videos and having fun!

great video and awsome job teaching the class i enjoy learning these tricks thanks for sharing your knowledge of one of my favorite games

I'm supposed to wake up early and I'm totally marathon ING your videos. Learning a ton. You rock. Crack me up too. Thank you.

The poll from Nukaworld and the Marque are both snappable items, they don't snap to other things, but they have things snap to them so that's why they don't work with the rug glitch. If an item snaps to another object, it can't be rug glitched, and if something snaps to them, they can't be rug glitched. Good work hun, I look forward to your next episode. Byee!

Hey school zone I just wanted to thank you for helping me in fallout 4 you’ve been a huge part of my KZfaq life and I want to thank you for that you deserve it man ❤️👍👍👍👍💥

I also like to utilize the whole build area, but in some settlements I have to cut back a lot because some of the enemy spawn points are located inside the build zone, so I would get enemies spawning inside my walls during "help defend" quests, in other settlements with a similar problem I have to relocate the fast travel rug

LOL - that's just the house I was trying to add doors to. Thank you for this amazing series.

Once again, love the videos!! Maybe I'm kinda slow or just not imaginative enough to figure it out, but I would like to see a video on walling your settlements and ways to possibly repair the walls and roofs on houses like in sanctuary, or at least make them appear repaired. Maybe your already planning a video on such, if so I'll just have to wait patiently lol. Hope you keep up the great work helping us make the commonwealth settlements beautiful! P.S. I'm also having trouble with elevators.

I always upvote some Skooled Zone. Thanks for posting :)

Omg I am enjoying these videos so much, I’m learning so many new things. Thank you!!!!

Some really cool tips here! Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us.

I thank all you cats, your vids have completely changed my Fallout experience. 1st time ever trying the franchise...I'm using the PS4

I keep coming back to these and learn something each time thank you Skool 👍👍👍👍🍺😎

Perfect teaching voice to keep your attention.

Awesome videos! I’m learning a lot and appreciate your creativity!!

Love these Videos and they have really helped me to become a better builder in Fallout 4 been having lots of fun building up some Rad settlements.

Another great video paul you keep showing me more things that I can do with fallout 4. Keep up the awesome videos.

I would like a resource and supply line video, but not sure if you didn't already include one in your curriculum for No Mods Shop Class or not. I have not progressed the game yet away from Sanctuary so I am sure there will be something to learn for this somewhere. For me it is almost 9 years that you did this series, my goodness, how time flies.

Lots of great advice and ideas. Have you ever noticed if you have the conduit touching the item you are trying to place it is harder to place? Love the sinking the generator idea, he helps keep things very clean. Awesome stuff.

Another amazing video, thank you Skooled. Thank you. Oh and you should try putting some Vault-Tec Workshop mats under your power armor station. I'll upload a video to show you if you would like, or if you have a Twitter I can send you a picture to demonstrate. Thanks. -Fox

For the advanced lessons you should make a giant no mods shop class on spectacle island

Great videos man.

I love these vids always so helpful! I was even inspired to start my own building channel!

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Paul gets no hate comments........he is just so thorough in his tutorial videos, never says anything even remotely controversial and his voice is actually really soothing.....no homo 😂

2024, rewatching all :D I remember pillars can be used anywhere if you place down a campfire first. It has earth/ground around it, so pillars works everywhere with it. Later remove campfire. Sorry if mentioned in later episode, i just remembered this random fact.

I LOVED this video!! Sinking the generator underground yet still able to pull it back up! Genius! I wonder though if doing this would help on FPS when your settlements get to large and start getting laggy if burying generators and other things would lessen that fps drop. Furthermore you could use the conduit pipes to wire your settlement underground so you aren't left with wires strung everywhere. I love your videos Paul but I must confess I usually play with some mods. But I'm going to use this method to wire my city up having the wires underground (like in real life) instead of strung from roof top to roof top. I'd love it if after this series or possibly tangent to it if you could do a modded schooled zone. Covering tips and tricks to modded game play. Ranging from tricks like this one that even with a place anywhere mod this trick is still extremely useful to tips about load order and just all sorts of things. Anyways your amazing Paul!! Keep up the great work!

The fruit tree thing you are doing is such a fantastic idea. Before, i made fields, but this looks so much better! So thanks for that! And though i don't have the DLCs, I am going to try this on Croup Manor! 😁(or the door I foolishly scrapped in Jamaica x)) thank you so much! 😁😁

Great ideas, thank you.

Smart idea with a miscellaneous tips and tricks video!

That door glitch is the hard way. The easiest way is to use the Wharehouse door frame , please any door , delete the frame. Then use a small rug next to the door ( as close as you can , then place. This way you have a better view to where you place the door.

Oh man, more secrets I missed from when I played years ago. 👍. I am building Nuka World, going to try to make something amazing out there. Never got to unlock it last time before the crash!! I am so glad I came back to this game, it is the best game I think I have ever played. One question one the video, shouldn’t you have turned that laser turret around to protect the settlement, seemed like it was pointing at it, not at what was coming at it. 👍😉 Thank you for everything you do and all the hours and effort you put in.

Paul wasn't kit cat my idea for a name? I think it was thanks soooo much for choosing that you made my day, again a huge fan

Good tip would be using furniture of various heights combined with the rug glitch to place items on specific shelves (to stock all those store rooms) also kind of surprised you dont use the steel and wood pillars from the warehouse and barn stuff, much easier to use than the concrete pillar.

Catmeat will probably be the cat's name.

PSA, you can stack beds in same cell with small toolbox or mats to save space, the settlers may not reach the physical bed, but the bed count still registers. I did this in Covenant, where placing a sufficient amount of beds is challenging with the allotted space..also, you can place lights inside existing lights in covenant to produce more lighting, you can fit a single string lightbulb into the middle of the cieling fans already in place, and fancy lights in the existing fancy lights.

Love the 💡 of a miscellaneous tips video. This was a super helpful way to allow me to place doors I like, rather than always using the butt ugly ones from the warehouse or the totally non-private glass ones (also warehouse). I dunno about sinking generators, though. I tend to use 1 big, but fairly compact generator, the bluish one with a fusion core that gives about 100 power to power up my entire settlement. It's a bit tricky to try to sink that and run power everywhere. I usually wire everything up high, sometimes even putting that generator on a rooftop. Have the 💩iest luck with the pipe conduits, too. Can never seem to line it up properly. So, REALLY looking forward to the upcoming video on wiring. I also wouldn't mind knowing what you do to use these kind of tricks in areas that are cramped, where you can't maneuver well. I'm gonna check out the kitty name poll. 👋

Great Video! I know I'm late on watching your no mods shop courses but I feel like I'm really learning! Also, what settlement is that?

This is Great!!!! Thanks :) :)

I dub this: The Pug Glitch!

A tip for anyone who doesn’t already know, the best item of clothing to add ballistic weave to are the army uniforms/military fatigues. Idk if that’s the exact name but the army ones are a dark drab green and the other fatigues are sort of yellow green camo kinda. But the reason they’re the best ones to ballistic weave is because they’re one of the few that can be worn UNDER other armor, like the vault suit but you can’t weave the vault suit.

This is amazing.

You are a genius ty so much

Love your vids ad Ive learned a ton thanks to you. Have you done a Croup Manor rebuild yet?

Nice example for the door... I know the video is 3 years old and you probably won't see the comment Paul but in my game most doors snap into place including in Jamaica plain :-)

Did I hear you say you toss mannequins? That's one of my favorite quirky pastimes in Fallout 4. I like to get a good running start for my Mannequin Tossing, and jump right at the point of release to see how far and high they'll go. They'll clear entire buildings in a single throw. Kind of a shame that they separate from their bases though. If it weren't for that I'd probably instead collect them at my Settlements to scare would-be Raiders.

Ur vids are still amazing

paul i hope u see this becuse i was watching ur hunting head part 2 and heard what u said about ada id like to remmind u u can always give her attacktrions lags with the robot workshop that will get her to move faster and run fast i did this it help alote

I hid a generator in a shrub in sanctuary hills and placed a rug near after the fact to group select it out after. I havent tried this with hiding a generator in the ground but it would probably still work

7:50 ìf you don't got mods or add-ons use ladder to raise and lower then put a ashtray in front door and select all, if lights up red adjust it alittle retry(9:27)

if you put the rug next the door when you have it outside instead the pilar and the conduit you can take the door when you want easy. Is another method. Only you need that the door be a llitle more up that the rug.(or exactly in the same level, now i don't remember it. If is in the same level you only move the rag with the pilar help exactly to the same level where is the level of the door in the frame door outside. Then you take door and rag where you want easy)

I've got an idea! Underground electrical using the conduits and the pillar glitch!

Do the next class room in murkwater construction site. It was made to have construction in it!

Ty Skool 👍👍👍👍🍺😎

the vending counters that are not made of wood and other junk are infact snappable to eachother and the marque (?) sign has snapping point for the letters

I'm sure you probably figured it out by now, but that seems to be the hard way to install a door into a house. All you had to do is use the pillar to lower the door after deleting the wooden frame, the use group select with a rug or the same pillar and move it into place. Beauty about that is you don't have to stand 20 feet away and try to guess if you are lined up properly or not.

Point about doors here. You said majority of doors open inwards. Well round here they wont. Heavy duty secure doors all open outward and its general rule of thumb that doors opening outwards are much harder (or near impossible) to break in. Typical scene you can imagine is in movies where they kick the door in. Try doing that with a door that opens outwards. Also some secure doors round here come with 16 bolts all around the edges of steel door. It takes alot of effort to break through that door. If it would open inwards you could bash it in with a ram or something however the case that it opens outwards makes it impossible. It will be easyer to bash through a wall next to the door.

i used the chassis, (not sure how you spell it), to set up a section of junk fence on my red rocket build...thanks. by the by, i made the discovery that even though you have a chassis set up, some times it's too far away from where you are trying to set something precisely, (i'm kinda ocd, but i still don't consider it a, "dissability". but who needs really needs details anyway?). ANYWAYS, with your door placement as an example, you can turn your chassis assembly 180 degrees and place it from the opposite side with a better view. of course you can't see your pillar; but if you keep a weather eye on the, "place" command in the workshop interface...you can make any adjustments and as long as, "place" is highlighted, you are golden...just sharing the wealth. i did the, "don't feed the bears", trick to park the sign by dogmeat's house at the red rocket...and that was one long way to hump a sign, but it was kinda worth it...and the adventures i had getting it there...but that of course is another story.

Pro tip: On the PS4, you can select an item in build mode, hold "X" + "L1", the left thumbstick will allow you to move an item up and down without actually moving your character or perspective.

I don't think this has been commented before but sorry if I missed it. I think technically the marquis and cafe counters ARE snappable items because things snap TO them - the acrylic letters and sneeze guards, respectively. Maybe this is why the rug glitch doesn't work with them.

I saw a comment about the pole and marquee no rug glitching because they both snap. Just wanted to mention that the low counter style stores also snap (to each other).

I use a lot of mods including ones to place anywhere, but I still watch all of the no mod build techniques. I make short clips illustrating the techniques for the xbox live clubs. Credits given to Skooledzone in comments

@SkooledZone Paul I sent you an email (I think) about a new no mod wire glitch that replaces the conduit rug glitch completely. in fact it replaces every wire wire glitch you could think of allowing you to attach any conduit to any conduit or powered object through any obstacle reguardless of distance. Through walls, any conduit type, any way you could imagine with no limitations!

Skooled Zone, I like the sign advertising Vault 42 at Greygarden. It adds some vintage flair to the settlement. You should add a mufruit to the teachers desk in all of your videos to add to the schoolroom theme. Furthermore, excuse me if you have already read the following tips which I posted on your furniture facing video. I wasn't aware at the time that my post may have been filtered because it used a link do I'll repost it here hopefully fully modified enough to avoid being filtered. Just look for the earlier original post for the credit. That way you don't think I stole the tips without giving credit to the source. Repost: "A furniture placement tip for the settlement build mode is to have the game display an object that has a back to it and then have it display the item next to it. A great example of this is to have the game display the Vault Tec bed, the one that has the white sheets showing at the head end of the bed, and then having it display the one next to it. When the game loads the build menu it orientates everything in it so that they are facing a certain way towards you. Whenever you go into a subcategory and rotate it/ change its orientation, you are telling the game to put that orientation onto every item in that subcategory, thus turning all the beds, stools, etc. the same amount of degrees to the left or right. Now all you have to do is to scroll to an object with a definitive back or front to it in the desired build menu, to get a sense of which way is front or back, and select the one that you want to build in that subcategory and it will be orientated the way you desire it to be. Here is another helpful no mods building tip. When you are building something and you want to support it underneath by using a pillar/post/column that comes with Far Harbor or Contraptions, you have the game suspend the object in the air and build from the top down. That way the pillar/post/column will snap beneath the ground automatically. I know this works with objects with snap points attached to them in the game's code. I don't know if it is the same for ones that don't have them. I am not sure if you already mentioned it in your No Mods Shop Class playlist, but I will post here anyway just in case you haven't already. Hopefully this helps you." Sincerely, Jennifer M. Montgomery

What happens if you dont have the DLCs? What can you use in place of the pillar and rug glitch, if you don't have access to the concrete pillar or conduit? If possible.

all doors here open outwards, lol

Has any tried to use this combination glitch to sink a pre-built structure into the ground? Creating a basement or, perhaps, sinking a complete vault-like structure underground? Curious. BTW, the Nuka pillar looks like an exhaust system for the bus. :-)

Skooled Gnomes? They would make excellent students/faux audience. I'm thinking along the lines of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Fallout Skooled Gnomes Theatre 2273? Yeah whatever works. Just tossing out random ideas based on things you've said. ;)

Hey which add on gives you the pillar for this glitch?

Can u do a video on conduit. I have no idea how to use it and I think it would be better to hear it from you than on some forum online. Thanks

How do you think of some of these things, your ideas are always so cool :)

Great stuff dude. Do you have anything on how to password protect locked doors and containers?

hi love your vids have a good day

Rewatching all your videos after a couple of years, it's like going back to school. I thought I would tell you what I do with my "sewer" generators, From your idea with the conduit, as you often mention if something is lore friendly. So instead of getting my settlers to travel down into the sewers I use 2 curved conduit and 1 straight, all sticking out of the ground. Curved for air intake and exhaust, and the straight one for fuel top up. I Hope your still playing fallout! Are you looking forward to fallout London?

If the settlement is attacked, can those buried generators take damage (directly or through RNG), or are they always protected? Great series BTW.

I was wondering how what is the button to throw items in PC? at 13:23
