A post-apocalyptic skyscraper made by one Fallout 4 fan.
The Settlement system was received with some criticism when first introduced, but some creative survivors of the post-apocalyptic franchise have found ways to leverage the system to bring to life amazing creations, even though the community management mechanics built around these settlements are often viewed as shallow. Resource gathering and management are extremely important when using the crafting system to manage large scale creations, especially without the use of creative modes or mods. The Settlement mechanic was added to the MMO Fallout 76 as well, and while players generally favor Fallout 4's building mechanics instead, the Fallout 76 CAMP system has been used for some impressive things, like recreating BioShock's Rapture in Fallout 76.
A Fallout 4 player by the name Fallout 4 glitches had to be utilized to create everything, since the creator chose to forgo the use of mods in their work.
Fallout 4 City Created Without Any Custom Content
While the use of mods could certainly help in creating a build on such a large scale, Orange Squeasy shows how using only features within the game itself can still create magnificent creations. An entire city in a post-apocalyptic world is something that many survivors would not expect to see, outside of pre-established settlements like Diamond City. The NPCs in the city appear to have truly made it their home as well, adding to the immersion of the experience.
A city made of scrap fits perfectly in the run-down wasteland that is Fallout 4. Using any material at hand to attempt to rebuild what once was and trying to recreate the civilization of the past plays well into the themes of the franchise. Impressive and expansive Settlements like this speak to how far the building feature in Fallout 4 allows survivors to go if they are willing to gather the resources and put in the effort.
