Skooled Zone is the Bob Ross of gaming. So much positivity and most importantly: no pressure.

6:40 poor eddie had to witness his family get made into lunchboxes

*when Bethesda doesn't put loot boxes into 76, you know what your job is*

Dude Paul realtalk I want to hug your attitude you're like a post-apocalyptic teddy bear professor with these Fallout 4 vids! Keep it up man

EA: **Heavy breathing**

You can make a glass bottom over a hopper and just Workshop-mode the bottom after grenade so everything inside falls right into the hopper with zero hassle on your part.

Nice! had no idea you could do this. My wife and I have just started playing FO4 this year and I have been watching a ton of videos. I did discover the other day that if you put the lunch box's in your character's inventory and take them out one by one. they are closed and and if you whack them they spawn items again. no need to go through this process. This was totally by accident. I decided to build a shelf and display them and accidently shot one in the process and BAM got a fork. I had them in my inventory for a very long time so I have no stats on length of time but essentially same thing this amazing video shows just with much less work.

I'm amazed at how you clearly take the time to chat with your fans!!! Like wow that's so dope. Feels amazing to know you care about us as much as we care about you!

"I named him ED-E" *Courier liked that*

Your enjoyment and excitement is infectious :) and these contraptions remind me of automating minecraft with Redstone. So fun!

I don't think I have the patience for all of that, but this definitely inspired me to go build some kind of factory later today. Great work!

Just pile them into a stone sylo, have an inverted pyramid funnel down to a trap door. Trapdoor above hopper. Then add machinery leading back up to circulate back into loot machine.

Hey Skooled. Chances of you seeing this is slim but if by SOME random chance you read it know this You’ve helped me with SO many settlements. You’ve also helped me with so many things I thought were so hard that I now see as some of the easiest things. You my friend. Have not only made Fallout 4 interesting but you’ve actually REVIVED it for me. So. Thank you. I love that I’m a sub to you and see myself coming back to watch you in the future. Have a good day to anyone who sees this. Especially Skooled

I like when you have a companion in videos to do random things for you to comment on, it adds flavour to the video and gives you 'someone' to talk to. (One who don't talk would allow you to talk for them/imagine what they're thinking)

just started replaying F4 again, forgot how much I loved this game. thanks for the videos subscribed.

Love the guitar riff at the start of your videos. All the best

I love this show, it’s just so great. Helps me with my builds a lot.

I have watch almost all you vids and have learned alot...... I just got done with you wire glitch vids and I have to say it has made me want to start over,settlement build has been my main focus since about a month ago and your vids have inspired me trumendicly ty and keep on keepin on .

Your vids are so helpful. I’ve been playing fallout RELIGIOUSLY since it dropped and I still learn stuff from you. Much love homie, keep up the quality content

Hey Paul it’s been an honour to be apart of this community. You are the person who made me start KZfaq, Patreon, merch store and a Website. You are such an inspiration in my life and I really appreciate everything you’ve done on your channel

You are seriously a genius! I'm new to fallout. I've put about 2 days of gameplay into so far. I truly love seeing your videos. So much inspiration! Again I'm new to this game so I've been trying to figure certain things. I'll learn this stuff eventually. I want to thank you for that awesome map on how to get to diamond city the easiest way. I was blown away I didn't even get spotted at all.

Nooice! This is just brilliant Paul! The best looking, and most practical Fallout 4 factory I've ever seen.

Bro, you’ve made Fallout fun again

I just want to say thank you for making this, you really inspired me and made me understand this DLC more. I created a system almost exactly similar to yours only smaller and instead of just sending the used ones back around I added a trip wire on a half conveyor belt then a split left conveyor belt and a divider. This is so that half the lunchboxes go back around and the other half go into an Explosives machine to create bottle cap mines. It probably isn't the best way to get money but it's nice seeing how nicely built these machines look.

That's an amazing factory build!

I've subscribed because your vids are awesomely informational. I've just begun building at settlements I've started (taking a break from quest lines), and find your tips invaluable. Having said that, I have one small issue, with this vid in particular. When you're recording at night, I am missing a lot of what you're doing because I cannot see well in the dark.

That was an awesome build thanks for shareing it with everyone!

Use the Vault Tech ramps in place of the glass green house roof. Things don't fall through the ramps. You just can't see the pile of Lunch Boxes.

I was watching and listening to your videos, just found you.. 3 or 4 videos I actually told myself, I genuinely like this guys vibe, you're easy on the ears have you a sub

Awesome video, again! And I have to agree with the other comments here. YOU are the reason I subbed and contribute on patreon. The subject matter is what made me keep coming back. Your positivity just makes my night. Thank you. Now we gotta figure out how to open those boxes without the sticky bottom!

So much for keeping it simple... B.T.W. Your vids are one of the few reasons why I continue to play Fallout... No pressure😎

Love the channel, love this playlist! I play with mods but there's still cool things to learn and adapt into my settlements.

loved the video man! (and all your others) one thing about this vs water farming is what youre actually doing, personally i think water farmings more of a passive income while you quest and explore, for instance i just set up like 500 water at the castle and every time i came back to empty my inventory after exploring i could quickly sell the water to my vendors for a ton of ammo and 1-2k caps every half hour to an hour of playtime. while i think of this as more of a while you build or flick the game on before you go to sleep/work/ school or whatever type of income, when i get the dlcs i will definetly be doing both. think ill just continue my selling water and every now and whenever im building flick this on, then occassionally maybe just throw enough stuff in for a few hundred lunchboxes and just flick the switch the flick my tv and go to sleep, keep up the good work man!

Omg, you're a genius. Like...... this is amazing

Amazing video you helped me and inspired me so much

always fascinating to watch you creating man!

the great thing about your vids is the ideas it creates. cool idea

Brother, i stand in awe of your crafty dedication to manufacturing...bethesda should reach out to you as a consultant for fo5

Seriously, extremely well done!

So proud you are still doing this series! I learned alot from watching and it's helped me build in Fallout and other games as well!

Awesome video!!! Did you know you can take a garden plot and place a powered water pump on it? With the rug glitch and the wifi glitch you can have a hidden water farm at any settlement. Love the channel.

Dont know if anyone or has said this but i personally found that fireworks. Out of a pitching machine with crackle fire works. Opens them quite efficiently and fire works are cheap to make. In comparison to grenades. And if you want to use grenades. Molotovs i have found are the best since litlle splash force doesnt push items off. To make the fire works work you have to put it at a distance so the explosion goes off near the Boxes. And you have to put the pitching Machine on a lower slope. Also interval switch on a 2 second on 10 second off works for me,since mine is a constant supply line unlike the pool up which im thinking about making

Hey Paul, LOVE your videos! Very original and neat stuff! I play on Survival Mode, so I figured I'd make a sort of manual lunchbox builder/recycler based on your automatic grenade design (I'm practicing my pillar and rug glitching, but nowhere near good enough to build what you did here just yet), so my machine just builds 'em and conveyers them back up and around, and I punch the boxes as they go by and into a sorter, you get the idea. I call it The Punchbox! Now, the Noodle Cups and Baseballs (fer grenades, of course) are an awesome help in Survival, and having enough caps from the other stuff is nice too, but I've run into a small curiousity... Out of thousands of lunchboxes punched, I've not gotten a single Rare item. I get pencils, pens, flatware (plastic and metal), chalk, noodle cups, nuka colas, apples, gum, and gumdrops. But that's IT, not one single robot model or anything like that. Any ideas what's causing that?

This is super friggin neat! Love the concept of automation in a post-apocalyptic setting. You've yet again amazed me! On a small note the eyebot ED-E's name is pronounced "E-D". As stated by Whitley in lonesome road, on top of Testicles, at the end of the DLC and game if you've encountered them If I remember.

How do you come up with this stuff? Purely amazing, Skooled!

Great video. Please keep up the great work

Great video dude. Your stuff is primo. One thing though I remove the separate large glass silo and simply just a fixed the four walls squarely to the hopper then just built up from there. It eliminates the need for that large door and several other pieces plus it eliminates the boxes that stick to the glass. I even glitched in the pitching machine inside of it. Best of all the lift conveyors fit pretty Square inside of the opening so they can cycle right back into the hopper to be exploded again later. I'm not going to make a video about it but you can if you want 🖖

Your factory is impressive, love the lit sign!

Amazing tutorial for Getting Rich AF in Fallout 4

I love your personality, it makes your videos so much better.

Nice video, really inspirational. I think I would use a different design to make the process more automated, like maybe have a stationary gun set up to shoot each box individually as they roll down the line.

Another great video. I like the light saber cut screen effects.

wow! Great setup!

Thats the coolest thing ive ever seen built in FO4

Hey Skooled, thanks for the idea and general setup! 💙 I've improved it a bit and solved the sliding problem another way. My setup is also not fully automated but it takes less space and has no physics issue. 😊 I've found out that you can attach the concrete walls to the funnel. So I build my one straight up with an elevator. In the tower is a simple roof plate where all lunchboxes get collected and destroyed, after this is pick the roof in edit mode, everything falls and I cancel the change. I also don't use the chest and vacuum, the funnel does the reset for me. I can send you a short video of it. It works pretty nice fits on a 6*4 base.

Lol, love it, the rube goldberg auto-factory

Holy crap, I LOVE GAMES! This is freaking genius. Was crazy impressed with the first vid & this is somehow beyond that. Just great. Wondering if one of those garage door-like pieces could be glitched to be used as a floor? Then opened into a sorter etc. Or could you glitch something to the outside of an elevator (and through the glass containment) that could then raise/lower?

I like your factory, you ever think about putting walls up to make it look more like a warehouse?

This series has made me sub to this channel. This is amazing.

Channel about to blow up and get big. You just got a ton of new subs. Noooooice

XD its so great! im thankful for this channel!

I did a much smaller, manual version with the sorter that involved just manually hitting the lunchboxes with a switchblade. This is a great way to farm baseballs for baseball grenades, and chalk is a very light item to use as ammo in the Junkjet. The plastics can be used with brahmin fertilizer to produce jet, which is yet another way to expand the amount of bottlecaps you can get form this system.

You can craft Bottlecap mines without bottlecaps. Explode them for free bottlecaps. Thanks for blowing my mind!

Really found this helpful built it already in my spectacle island settlement and is working quite well. I do find this however to be more helpful in getting components and decorations rather than money. I was wondering if you could make a video than would break down all junk items to there raw components. I want to put all the decorative stuff around my settlement and break down the rest. Anyway really I enjoy all your videos. It is quite obvious you care about every video you release. Can't wait for more!

Paul, I was messing around with the junk launcher the other day. I can't help wondering if you could somehow utilize it to either shuffle the lunchboxes, bust them open, or both. Just a thought. Love your work.

Your vids are sooooo relaxing. Thanks man.

These videos are great man! I would like to see something on the arena battles in the future! No one ever uses it and it'd be cool to see if you can make it work

Just watching these vids in 2024! Amazing work! Also, you could have probably put a roller in the glass so it would roll down once it opened.

I love this video ! I sell all the food and use the junk to supply infinite building material for all my settlements

Way to make Lootboxes actually FUN, hah) X)

Great way to make a few caps.

Good work. Love your ideas

You can speed up time with console commands. The video was helpful.

This channel is so dope 💛

I built a similar system, and added a sorter to take out the steel items (spoons,knives,etc), and sent them to the builder to make more lunch boxes. So the lunchboxes were actually breeding! Ended up with hundreds of them.

Hi Paul I tried this out, I think Luck plays a part in the quality of loot you get. The glass walls will snap right onto the hopper(but you'll need to wifi glitch it or the wall won't snap to the side with the connector on it. Instead of the slope & roller door I just put a floor above the hopper, and remove it (without exiting build mode so it snaps right back when you exit) to let the loot fall into the hopper. I tried a few things. As it gives me lots of baseballs I make baseball grenades and put two in the launcher. Throw an armed mine (i use a bottlecap mine but a frag mine does the job too) in on top of the lunch boxes before launching the grenades in there. The grenades will set of the mine and get a lot of them opened. If you use a bottlecap mine, make sure to pick up the caps before trying to remove the floor or it won't let the loot fall through and will be hard to snap back if you exit build mode. I also added a second sorter that takes out the metal spoons, knives & forks - as they are steel and can make more lunchboxes.

You should be hired by EA, they love their lootboxes haha.

I bought this game years ago but the factory dlc is probably my most played one. I just love making factories.

great one bro

Hey Paul! I love how industrious this looks, even if it still has some efficiency issues. I mean, if that creeper can get the meat packing plant machines running & try to feed us all ghouls, why can't you build a manufacturing thingamajig for the purpose of growing fecund wealth? :D Repairing and running different types of old world machinery was something I felt was a bit lacking in FO4. They can fix certain things, but not others. If you build something like this in a large settlement, & build it B4 building up other things, you can then spend your time building that place up around the factory as it does its thing. Can't wait to see what else you come up with. I was never much for farming caps while playing, as I accumulated all I needed naturally, but I appreciate the concept & the lessons. Unfortunately, I won't be able to send in a video. I have no camera & my cell stopped working a bit ago (I think I made the report on the 9th of July) & my hubby has yet to mail it in. :( Even when I had it, I could record videos, but never find them again. Not sure what that was about. In a couple of months, hubby will get me a better 1 than that old Samsung. My laptop has been out of commission even longer. In fact, I am using my daughter's desktop after her bedtime to write this comment. :D I try not to usurp it in the daytime, as she's on it a lot during summer vacation. They go back mid August. She has some amateur animation programs on here &, at just close to 9 yrs old, she does really well & her regular artwork has improved a lot. Maybe, in the future, she'll be making the games we are playing. Anyhow, bcuz of my situation, I try to comment when I can, but can't always. Not sure if I told you all that already, but have been trying to let all my subbed channels know I am still there, watching on my YT TV app, even tho it doesn't allow comments or sharing. Well done & keep bringing the knowledge Teach!

Love the training day scene that earned a like from me lol 8:13

Hey thanks for the help on the logic gate factory doors. It's made my murder factory that much better.

I just started playing fallout 4 I regret waiting so long. wish I could've been a part of what you had going on pretty amazing. love your videos look forward to fallout5 and really hope you will still be as into it as you was with this 1

Skooled and their get-rich-quick schemes

8:06 haven't laughed that hard for awhile thx

Hey man it’s been a while. I’m glad I’m finally updated to our new uploads :)

You're a genius!! OMG

Great idea and awesome build! I may have to replicate this one in my world like many others you've built. One small note to mention for collecting the loot a bit easier, Would it be possible to just build a secondary powered door opposite the one used to drop items into the hopper, that way you could build stairs up then open it and basically walk into the area and "push" them into the hopper by walking over them or holding one of them, or better yet a broom, pole stock or the like, to push the into the hopper? Been thinking of a better way to collect them as opposed to using many grenades or shooting them down. Hope you do see this and respond.(Up vote this comment if you guys agree that it would work and he can see it and make a revised video soon!) I'm mostly interested in seeing this work a bit more efficiently. Besides that love the content and keep up the great work. Been watching for a short time but love your stuff buddy!

wow! that information: "once [used up lunchboxes] get repaired" when they go thru the conveyors! that's cool...

i just stumbeled over your channel and might have another suggestion for a no-mod-factory, that i built myself a while ago: a junk-breakdown-factory. since there is no 'scrapper' in the contraptions workshop i thought about a way to break down the tons of junk items i collect in the commonwealth (esp. since i use a console command to increase my carry weigth) without using a mod. the basic idea goes like this: you use a builder to built a quite complex item (like a giddyup buttercup) and lead all junk items, that include gears, screws, springs and steel into this builder. next you lead the buttercups into the next machine that builds something that only needs steel (like steel balls ... or if you want this to combine with your machine here: lunchboxes) to get the gears, screws and springs back. finally you use vacuum hoppers to empty all the unused components (like the screws ...) from the building machines. you can apply this logic to the following productions: 1. everything with steel, springs, gears and/or screws - > buttercup - > steel balls _(your 'raw steel')_ 2. everything with rubber -> rubber balls _(your 'raw rubber')_ 3. a) everything with aluminum and/or plastic* -> toy rockets -> _goto 5_ 3. b) everything with wood and/or plastic* -> bowling pins -> _goto 5_ 4. everything with cloth and/or leather -> teddies -> _goto 5_ 5. everything fiberglass + toy rockets and bowling pins from 3 + teddies from 4 -> jangles -> plastic pumpkins (your 'raw plastic') _*i used a splitter conveyor belt with a sorting arm that switched every few seconds to distribute the plastic items into both chains._ downsides of this factory: a) building an item takes more components, than breaking it down. so, you'll loose an average of one per component in the process (e.g. a pumpkin takes 4 plastic to build, but you only get 3, when you break it). this means this factory is mostly for fun and to gain raw materials if you have tons of items anyway. b) there are items, that cannot be broken down with this method: mainly glas, copper and ceramic stuff. there is just no item that can be made with the builder requiring these components. c) *this is extremely important!* within one power circuit there can only be *one* 'recipie' programmed for the builders in the terminals. this means every builder needs its own generator and its own terminal - it *must not* be connected to the others at all. since the conveyer belts count as power connection the only way to divide e.g. between the buttercup production and the steel ball production is by letting e.g. the buttercups drop into a hopper. this way you make sure there is one circuit before the hopper and one beginning with the hopper. d) due to c) this means the whole factory gets really large. i used the whole boston airport and had to build it 4 storeys high in order to sort all the stuff and then drop them from one step to another (keep in mind: with each hopper the items go down one level). e) some stuff is very likely to jam the conveyor belts (esp. the elevators), so you might want to sort them out of the process as early as possible (e.g. brooms). the buttercups also are quite tricky, because they have to fall over (not stand up), before they go into the steel ball builder.

that was totally awesome! could be quite profitable in the long run. should "run the numbers" and see i think one of the DLC's come with horizontal doors. is there a trap door? could just flatten the slope, and move the hopper directly under your glass silo/chute.

This video was really cool 🐉

A read a review on the xbox store that lead me here. Pretty sweet!

Ahhhh the sweet smell of lootboxes

Ahhhh so jelly!😁

Idea: setup a set of conveyor belts that clip to the edge of the door, so everything is flat. The switch to open the door also turns on the conveyor belts. Also, put a floor 'half a foot' or so underneath the conveyors where the and fire your frag grenade into there (I think it needs to be something with more kick than the energy grenade) so things get blown 'up' instead of as much out and down. Hmm do fireworks explode if they hit something on their way up? With enough wiring and logic I bet you could throw a bunch of grenades into some kind of 'blow it' setup, and setup a cycle where boxes will pile up, the grenades will fire, they'll drop out and sort, then roll back up and wait for bunches to accumulate again to repeat, automatically.

Pretty awesome work. I was wondering if putting another hoper below the glass, where it glitchs some lunchboxes, would help. Instead of picking up one by one on the floor, and maybe connect it to the second process where they are suppost to be?

What a brilliant idea to farm the game. I'm just flabbergasted

Delayed timer for the pitching machine : Power > Laser trip wire > Interval Switch > Pitching Machine (add a Lightbox connected only to the pitching machine if you want to know when it turns on/off) Go in a terminal: set Interval switch Control (On time for 2 sec/ Off time 10 sec) this will throw out 1 grenade every 12 sec, click the trip wire to reset the system If you want even more delay for AFK auto launcher : Power > Switch On/Off > Interval Switch > Power Counter > Interval Switch > Pitching Machine This will make it shoot 1 grenade every 10 cycles of the power counter so 1 grenade every 2 min. Stacking a bunch of power counter can make it go up to hours (2 counter stacked is 20 min. 3 counter stacked is 3h)

When you first said "Look what I built!" And I saw that huge contraption, it was a literal LOL! Moment! OMG that is cool! *_Even better...Have multiple presses pumping out lunch boxes at one time and feeding them onto one conveyer._* Possible? If anyone can do it, it would be you, right? I should have watched further as I see you said exactly that. I am leaving this post so everyone knows how impatient I am.
