Fallout 4 Tips & Tricks: How to Build a Vault Elevator
A quick tutorial on how to make an elevator inside Vault 88. I originally got the idea from a guy on Twitter (@Bongon69), but it was just the idea, not a tutorial, so I figured out how to build one myself, and I think it turned out pretty nice.

There's a clean elevator called Institute Elevator if you have "Institute Items Unlocked" and it fits but it is a mother to get the hallways to fit. I have been doing it tonight and will finish it tomorrow hopefully.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be working for me. :-( I've got an atrium floor right next to the wall where the conduit is (which is on the same side the floor buttons are on) and I cannot get the wire to connect to the elevator at all.

On the PC, first place an Atrium floor in the spot where W.D. wants you to construct the elevator. Then follow all of her instructions. It seems that the elevator's infrastructure prevents contact between the vault and the Power Conduit. So, the "Wire Glitch" technique is not the problem; it's the lack of power. BTW, use the spacebar to grab the wire.

This will really help keep settlers from wandering into my personal quarters and outside of the vault. I left a crafting station/exterior access on the first floor, directly underneath the reception area of my Overseer's Office, which then has stairs to my private office and quarters above that office. 1 elevator will allow me to access both from the 2nd floor office open to the public.

If anyone else gets stuck on the wire glitch; so basically just pick up the wire attached to the bottom conduit, then reattach it to the conduit using the “attach wire button”, and you should be able to walk into the elevator and for some reason are still holding a wire to attach lol. It took me way too long to logic this one out so maybe this will help someone in the future 😂 Edit: I was wrong but some tinkering helped me out! The right process is below in the replies :)

Good Job young lady; and slick! I was unaware of the wire glitch… neat trick! I got more out of this vid than most. I’ve been burning many hours building an above ground vault on Spectacle Island. The uneven terrain is challenging. I’ve been grumbling over elevators. Snapping dissimilar designed objects is problematic. I wonder if NPCs will use the elevator. I intend to use the top floor of the atrium (wide and open) for growing crops and am considering a mod to build a greenhouse up there.

TY for doing these vids on Vault 88. I suck at building in this game...too much of the "sim city" for me, but I still love the game. Even though FO4's combat AI is much improved, the building is a good added thing from just killing stuff and gathering junk to fix junk.

Settlers will not use the elevator, so it's a good idea to have stairs somewhere too. However, the overseer will "use" the elevator if it's the only way up or down from her office and a quest forces her to travel. She'll walk to the elevator and then teleport down if you leave and renter the cell.

now the only problem with this design is if you actually put the doors on the doorway the door will clip through the elevator so if the elevator is on the third floor and you're on the first floor you can't get the elevator down because the door is actually clipping through the elevator button.

@WastelandDovahkiin 8 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I don't add the doors to mine. If you really, really want the doors, there is a call button on the other side of the elevator shaft. If the elevator is one level below you, you can just walk out onto the top of it and press the button, then run back before it starts moving. If it's two levels below you, or above you, you can jump across the shaft onto the ledge on the other side and press the button. if you stand in the middle of the ledge the elevator won't hit you as it moves to your level and you can just get on. Of course you might miss the jump and fall, lol. I'd just rather not have the door to be honest. I'll keep trying to figure out how to have both. If there's a way I'll find it, lol.

@red-merlin 6 жыл бұрын

You probably have already ran into this possible issue (don't know if it's just because my vault was too crazy and over complicated or if vault settlers are to simple for elevators) but after i had the elevator built off the security room and FINALLY built the overseer desk, the overseer couldn't find her way to her office. Had to do some crude temporary staircase which seemed to make something click in the overseers head like "oh...there it is. What am i doing over here?" Was totally bummed to tear down the elevator lol. So do your vault settlers use the elevator? Maybe it's my mod list conflicting or lack of a certain mod that gives settlers vertical awareness lol.

@liamdries6502 8 жыл бұрын

I'm basing my vault of yours but I have a question. If you explore the tunnels you can find a area that has a bunch of residential and quarters pieces lying around. Are you going to use that as your quarters? Also are you going to have all of your rooms on the Sid elf your atrium? How many Atriums do you recommend having.

@WastelandDovahkiin 8 жыл бұрын

No, I didn't keep those pieces down in the tunnels. Next episode, which I'll upload tomorrow, I'll be starting to build the quarters. I'm not going to have them coming directly off the atrium, but they will be down a corridor that is connected to the atrium. Also I'm going to a couple levels of quarters, maybe 3, I don't know. And to be honest, I have no clue yet what I'm going to do with the other tunnels. So for now I'm just building off the main atrium. I may or may not have others later.

The problem is when i put the overseers terminal down the overseer just stands underneath the floor refusing to use the elevators to go up to the office. Is there a way to "usher" her up? Or should i just build a temp staircase and then leave her ass in the room until she figures out how to push a button?

@WastelandDovahkiin 7 жыл бұрын

She should find her way up there on her own eventually. She always does in my game. Try fast traveling away and then back again, she should be at her desk. If she's not, you can use a turret to move her to the elevator. Just build a heavy machine gun turret, then pick it up again, and use it to push her along. But fast traveling is a lot easier and quicker. Sometimes just running to the other side of a different vault tunnel is good enough too. Basically leaving the area.
