I always like to build a settlement on the water around the waterfront restaurant at Egret Tours. I love the build area. Lots of potential. I always build out Dalton Farm as well. I hate how frequently rad storms hit the area (and I REALLY hate how frequently they hit Echo Lake Lumber Mill), but I still like to build out the Far Harbor settlements anyway, especially Dalton Farm and Longfellow's Cabin. Abernathy Farm is great. I usually avoid building there until I have some established communities because settlements with already existing settlers become an easy target for raiders early on. Once I have a supply line and a lot of materials available, though, I love to wall out the settlement like you did in the video and then create the Abernathy Towers residential areas. One settlement that I would place in my top 5 that doesn't get mentioned here is the Finch Farm. I love building up on the bridge towering above the settlement (I like Graygarden for the same reason, and I usually also build on top of the movie theater building at Starlight...I just like high vantage points, I guess). I also really like The Slog. Building a whole structure around the swimming pool and then seeing the lighting effect when it becomes an "indoor" location is pretty spectacular.

For me, it was always Croup Manor, the Marina and Starlight Drive-in. Croup gives a natural advantage on the cliff, meaning if you block off the front yard with 2-3 wall layers, you can bottleneck attackers, making for a rather straightforward defense. It also means you can put crops in a gated perimeter behind the house for added resource protection. It's most important feature, though, would be the house itself. Align extra panels with the openings on the mansion and you can add several extra floors and rooms for a plethora of space. With some _extra_ planning, you can even place a huge fusion generator in the center of the house and wire powered defenses across the entire settlement. Starlight is a massive farming and manufacturing opportunity, a better "Grey Garden" than _Grey Garden._ All the more so with the Automatron DLC. Assign a full team of cheaply made Handies to go gang busters on a full line of scavenger workstations; then use the materials to build cheap Protectrons for a full farming outfit. Make sure to buy concrete from Carla and use it to build a full wall perimeter (the flat paving makes it easy). At that point, you'll need more tech to build either a detachment of Assaultrons or a squad of Sentrybots; they'll be your primary defense force. Works wonders. Because of it's location and it's space, Egret Tours Marina makes for a fantastic "military" hub. Plenty of room for food, water, lodging and defenses, most importantly the mortars. It's also like Croup, in that the Marina's waterfront allows you to focus enemies through one or two entrances. Plus, due in no small part to the surrounding hills, scaffolding can by utilised alongside scrap setups to build walkways behind large bulwarks for added defense and ease for foot traffic. The Marina becomes a fortress, another Castle on the frontier.

Yep, Egret, Croup and Starlight always end up being big cities for me. I've recently thought I should develop Finch more, if Pa Finch, Ma Finch and Dan are OK with that. My only worry about Croup, now I've got a way of tackling the holes in the wall, is to make sure I concrete over that door to the basement. I also develop the Slog quite a lot, as somewhere to send ghoul settlers and also because I really like Wiseman - who always gets a promotion to Captain in the Minutemen when he comes on board. And of course every big settlement has at least 2 BFGs (Big Freakin' Guns) in it so I can howitzer-barrage anything dangerous into the Stone Age before going in. Always SO satisfying doing that in Dunwich Borers and watching those quite tough raiders turn into doggy chow thanks to Minuteman 88mm shells. Finally, it's always so rewarding to see the protective fencing and turrets facing the road from Starlight take care of passing deathclaws before the settlers get involved.

I probably would have suggested Longfellow's Cabin. While the terrain is a bit rougher than Dalton Farm, most of the settlement is dirt and foundations can easily be built to level everything else. The other advantage is that all attacks come from one direction, which makes defending the settlement extremely easy, if not the easiest of all settlements (I would say Dalton Farm is the second easiest with a few strategic structural placements).

Sunshine Tidings would be up towards the top of the list for me. I also really like the the Boathouse as well (I use a mod to make it the Railroad's Safe House cuz it's in a nice strategic place on the river and near Bunker Hill). Hangman's Alley is a nice central location, but I rarely build it up very much. The Castle tends to end up being an absolute fortress, but I always end up siding with the Minutemen - what can I say, they appeal to the Commie in me (no matter how annoying Preston is). There's also County Crossing. I love the location and it's got a decent amount of space that's easy to build on. The robot Greenhouse place is another one that's a great location as well - plus you can build under and on the highway bridge as well. I usually treat Red Rocket as a personal residence as opposed to an actual settlement. There's also the fact that the game tends to chug pretty bad when you've got Abernathy, Sanctuary, and Red Rocket all built up. But my PC is kinda old and needing upgrading as well. But I also use a bunch of mods, including ones that increase what you can scrap. And Sim Settlements is basically mandatory for me at this point. I recently added a mod that lets me recruit Minutemen Squads to go take care of Preston's silly requests too, and it's working out pretty well overall. The General shouldn't have to do everything themselves, right?

"The parking lot even has a small sinkhole that's large enough for a few water purifiers". Meanwhile my Starlight: Has several water purifiers in that puddle that grant 40 water each, thereby making this tiny puddle a physics breaking goldmine for water which also happens to deliver most of the water found in the Northeastern Commonwealth. In one of my playthroughs, it literallly had the single highest water output of any settlement other than the castle and spectacle island. And keep in mind, those places are literally surrounded by water. (and one thing you forgot to mention in the video: Starlight has a random encounter spot within walking distance, thereby making it an excellent random enounter farm. I always place turrets right at the settlement entrance, which usually start eviscerating the enemies found in the spot once i fire even so much as one shot with a crappy pistol.

Where are the castle, spectacle island and the sanctuary? The castle is awesome because it's a real life location that you can build on. It's a massive prebuild castle that you can expand or do what you want with. You can remove the mirelurker shit by doing the minutemen questline (or with console commands), but I prefere to keep it. It also has hidden tunnels and a radio beacon. Spectacle island has the biggest build site. The Sanctuary has one of the biggest build sites. It is also your characters old home which is good for roleplaying. It's a beautiful location. There are a lot of beautiful prebuilt houses and a giant tree to work with, while you have still a lot of free space to work with. The Sanctuary also starts with all crafting stations, which is great for low charisma no console commands runs. The Sanctuary also has it's own Vault which is FAR GREATER than anything Vault Tech has ever build!!! It's truly legendary!!! Sadly the Vault isn't part of the buildable space, but it's still cool for roleplaying and respawning rescources. I am not sure but I think, the Sanctuary is actually based on a real life location too. I now want to replay Fallout 4

I find the vanilla Red Rocket location my favourite, I usually put a floor structure snuggly against the garage door with stair access to the rooftop where I put all my generators. I like to build around the arch section to be the only entrance lined with concrete walls and ratted out as a raider outpost. Best of all no settlers to fend for and fitted with an absurd amount of rocket turrets to deter anything that mucks about

All comes down to personal preference and ones game style. Anything like warwick, spectacle, nordhagen, sanctuary, the slog, murkwater, starlight etc etc, where you can get water purifiers in is a great way to get the caps rolling in and it never ceases to amaze how creative so many people are with their builds at all locations.

As a trade lane maniac, I LOVE the Starlight Drive-In. Because of it’s central location, I can patch many settlements in the Northern part of the Commonwealth into it as a trade hub and connect it both ways to Sanctuary and/or my base at the castle if I’m a Minuteman General

Abernathy Farm was a favorite of mine too, at first. After a few playthroughs (and a bit of researched to confirm this wasn't just my game), I found it's maybe the most bugged settlement in Fallout 4. When it gets attacked and crops get destroyed, there's a bug that prevent you from both repairing or scraping them to replace them. Another annoying bug is that, the food production can get limited to 15, even though you already have more than enough crops to produce more when you first arrive there. And, even at more that 70 defense, Abernathy is usually my settlement that gets attacked the most.

The problem I have with Dalton Farm is the incredibly powerful settlement attacks. The first time I put settlers there it was promptly attacked by waves of deathclaw-level critters. Anglers picking off my turrets with their spit and deathclaws and gulpers inland. There were several waves of the things and I died several times despite being something like level 80.

Warwick Homestead is the most overlooked settlement IMO. Surrounded by water on almost all sides and enemies only attacking from one direction, the settlement is very defensible. The building ground is completely flat, with lots of farmland, water, and prebuilt structures. The downside of this settlement is that it is on the Southeastern edge of the map, very far away from your starting point. I didn't even know the place exist on my first 2 playthrough.

My issue with the Warwick Homestead is the propensity of the Warwicks to spawn in the water (either the surrounding shore or reservoirs) and drowning. I have to go into the console and force them to be essential. That and the near constant calls for help when I'm trying to rebuild The Castle.

I decided to make my home in Abernathy farm mainly because it's the first place I saw a cat, so I had to be where the cat is. The slope is not a problem, I did a vault build with bases to get an ample build base, and still have space for a vault generator and an artillery cannon operated by McCready. My only problem is the small object count of the area, forcing me to do the drop and store glitch for a long while to build just a little more, and that's why I only did 3 vault floors instead of the 5 or 6 I wanted. Oh well, lets hope at least I get to meet Delores someday

I can highly recommend Taffington boathouse for a small, more personal outpost, for maybe 2-3 people. It doesn't need very much for a super cozy, lore-friendly safe house, you basically just barricade the outer border, make a small garden, hook up basic necessities, and have several pre-built rooms for interior decoration. I've always had much more fun here than building everything from scratch on an open field, and ending up with ridiculous looking trash cubes. Starlight is good for a big settlement, but Taffington is much better for a personal safespot to relax in after a long day.

My favorites are sanctuary because: being the first one you unlock makes it super easy to get access to. it is large allowing you to build something more like the old pre-war suburbs or just spacing out different parts of the settlement for both visual and practical reasons. its placement at the early part of the game makes enemy levels lower as in a normal playthrough that is where the player goes shortly after leaving the vault and would only have a basic melee weapon and a 10mm pistol at that point. The river makes defending the front of town super easy as you have a chokepoint to work with. The river makes it easy to string up some water purifiers Comes with a prebuilt stand to store and modify your power armor. The castle because: Big walls with easily patchable holes to make a solid defense Besides allowing for a chokepoint the walls also let turrets and defending settlers to attack from the walls while being out of reach of any melee attackers Nice courtyard for agriculture and shops Space in the walls to act as housing for the people A good size patch of water for fitting a large number of water purifiers, allowing you to make stupid amounts of water for supporting a massive stock of people across the commonwealth., used for healing as they are a clean healing option or sold to vendors for easy money.

One thing I see that seems to be a problem for building big settlements is the build limit. I found out from another KZitemr that you can scrap Gamma Guns in the workshop.

I've noticed in a couple videos you've talked about the Nuka World Red Rocket being easy to defend because it only has one spawn point. It only has one "official" spawn point, but it is also right next to a ruined building that has a super-frequent enemy respawn rate. I have never gone to that Red Rocket and not seen it under attack from there. Usually, I have a dozen or more elevated turrets pointed in that direction and I'm always having to repair them. It does make it a loot farm though.

I prefer "verisimilitude" and building a huge concrete prefabricated blocks feels completely unrealistic. That's why in my 2nd playthrough, the two fav locations for me are: - County Crossing, which I turned into a heavily fortified lived-in post-apocalyptic farming community with barn houses (from Far Harbor DLC) that has a nice mood to it. The terrain allowed building a set of structures that resemble a tiny town (I adapted the completely ruined house into a base plate for two wind turbines and an elevated workshop area, while the original unscrappable shack became a lived-in infirmary). It even has a nicely organized and protected spot for roaming traders. The CC's location is optimal, as it's literally on a huge junction of trade routes, and (aside from a ruined nuclear facility just a stone's throw to the south), it is optimally located from a role playing standpoint. - Nordhagen Beach, which I turned into a refurbished ruins of a seaside resort with beach piers, lodging and so on, also heavily fortified). I like the placement of it, despite being remote. It has this cool feeling, Note: I play on mods, but the only mod that affects the settlement building I installed is the one with snappable junk fences. It makes life SO MUCH EASIER, especially if you're into, you know, walling the whole areas around the post-apocalyptic settlements.
