No, you can pickup and move objects while not in build mode. Just look at it and hold the button you would normally use to add it to your inventory and then just free look around to place it somewhere. You dont have to be in build mode near a settlement.

I did this when stealing my X01 power armor helmet from the BoS armory

Why not use the built in screenshot command on the Xbox?

I didn't think of that, I will take some and post this evening after I get home. It's not all nice and neat like wildman's house but I'm pretty happy with it so far

You can also move bodies, useful after some chumps try to attack castle. Although the last group ended up all dying in a pile far away.

Does that work with ANYTHING? No matter how far? There's some stuff in the Red Rocket I'd like to have in my base.

They need to give some options to allow you to rotate around the various axes. I gave up trying to build my liquor shelf after about 3 bottles.

I had to use console commands to upright some models I was trying to arrange on a shelf.

Oh ... so I finally found Hangman's Ally and cleared it out ... that place creeped me the eff out ... as I am in build mode I keep hearing some dialogue ... turns out there is a squad of Super Mutants sitting on the other side of the back (chained) door that I can hear talking. I decided to not recruit to there until I found enough material to throw up some decent turrets.

Can't believe I haven't been on this thread. I'm up to level 36 right now. Literally cannot put this amazing game down. Everyone should post your loyalties (excluding the Minutemen) with an explanation. This game is much more complex, even metaphysical, in its moral choice choice involving the main storyline.

I'm with the Brotherhood of Steel. Because they like to blow up stuff.

Still at the point where I can do all of the quests, but I think I'm just going to go to war with all three and only be allied with the Minutemen. Usually you get a good guy option, but all three seem to have have an "ends justify the means" feeling to them.

I'm level 52 and still haven't decided. I can still go with any of them. Just can't choose.

You can... at least on console. The triggers let you rotate around the vertical and I think you can around the horizontal as well, not positive though.

Alright so here is what I've done to the castle over a few hours, nothing fancy but I like it and it's probably going to be the only settlement I put a lot of time into.

The view from the front gate, which is the only way into the castle. Note: lots of turrents for protection (146 I think right now).


Inside on the ground level. Crops are grown here and I have all the vendor stalls here as well as a bar to hang out at. I use the rooms inside the walls for all my generators.


The second story where all the settlers live and the elevated building is my house.


My house has a living room with TVs, a bedroom with shelves, and a game room with a pool table, but all of that is boring. This is my party room: a disco ball, bathtub full of money, and my bobblehead stand.

Just a suggestion. Move your heavy guns up top. I've got two missile turrets and two heavy turrets, and I can't make it up to the top to look at the attackers before they're already dead.

Also, too much defense will keep them from attacking. I believe the algorithm is whether defense is higher than the combined total of food and water.

Which is why I built a second industrial water purifier in the ocean plus a ton of single water pumps on the backside of the castle facing out towards the sea. I'm at 140 water plus 24 food which is higher than my 140 defense so I'm hoping my turrets get tested soon.

Scrap everything in sanctuary and link it to the castle using the local leader perk under charisma. The primary materials for the structures and the second floor are just wood and steel. The electric stuff is a pain because you need a ton of ceramic to make slot of the conduits and such. Also scrapped just about everything at the red rocket truck stop and the drive in settlement and then use myself and dogmeat to carry the materials to the castle (multiple trips of fast traveling, didn't get over encumbered).

OH MY I'M SO STUPID. I didn't know that's what that perk did when I got it. I've been trying to bring materials to every single location. Didn't know about the linking.

Well I just discovered the work around on consoles for settlement size limits. Currently going crazy with a power armor/workshop building and now have unlimited space.
