Trail, I think that I have little interest in building, but I'm wondering how long it took to build that one. It looks very nice.
Thanks Pokey
Actually, I don't have a clue how long that one took me to build because I did it in several game play-throughs. One of my pet peeves with FO4 is the lack of a protected home base from the get go, I mean other than the place where your "spouse-cicle" resides
I'm also not a fan of the first few levels of the game, they are somewhat of a slog in my opinion.
I really like the location of the Red Rocket, so I decided to build a home base that I could use every time I started a new play-through. I began building as soon as I had access to the location and stopped at level 6 then saved a copy of the game. Instead of starting at the beginning of the game for each playthrough, I just kick in that save and went from there. During several play-throughs I made a bunch of improvements to the place, noting the changes each time. When ever I would fire up a new game using that save, I would immediately make those changes and re-save, so they would be there for future game play.
By building in God Mode you don't level from building stuff - Something I thought was silly anyways. Anyhow, that means I could improve the design with each subsequent play-through based on my past experience, but still be able to archive the save with a level 6 starting character and a bigger, better home base each time.
