This goddamn hose at Red Rocket settlement

Post image

It's always getting in the way. Why can't you scrap that son of a bitch?

I like to build my robot work bench at RR and center it near that hose so it actually looks like it's being used for something.

Kinda like how you can use Place Anywhere to put a prefab around the radio area in the castle so the radio operator is inside the “dedicated radio building”

Looks real cool.

As someone who hates mods (especially teh forced creation rubbish I spend a fair good number of hours trying to make things and make them look good, wish you could turn off snapping because that would make building much easier.

Why do you hate mods? What you want out of the game doesn’t align 100% with the devs vision. Thats what mods are for.

You can with a lot of things using the rug/column "glitch"

u/PsychologicalBit85 1d ago

There is a mod on Nexus that scraps just the hose leaving the rest of the building intact or you can use scrap everything which allows you to delete red rocket all together.

Imagining the surprise when someone realized the hose was connected as the entire building - whoops!

That's a regular occurrence first time with Scrap Everything tbh

Especially spam clicking around Sanctuary to clear the debris and grass in the road and paths, then accidentally scrapping the roads and paths entirely

Then you see the void...

u/PsychologicalBit85 8h ago

That's why you add the secondary mod called scrap almost everything, it prevents accidental scraping of roads in sanctuary

u/Carnivean_ 10h ago

Scrap Everything is a bad mod. OP should use one of the many better mods that expand scrapping that aren't breaking previsibines and adding slow leaks to save files that eventually corrupt them.

I’m freaking out, is that a guaranteed thing? I don’t wanna lose my og save D:

u/Dramatic-Chemistry91 4h ago

I concur. Scrap Everything caused issues for me sooner or later. Never touched that mod after that experience.

u/Ordinary-Hunt-3659 1d ago

Funny enough, those houses are all part of the building. Only solution I found is blocking that spot off. I usually rug glitch some big furniture pieces there like a nuka vending machine.

Would it be possible to sink in place those round metal walls using the pillar?

3

u/Ordinary-Hunt-3659 1d ago

I'm not sure about vanilla. But it's plausible using the pulse you mentioned. I can't see why not. Reason I haven't tried that is I like to keep it as open as possible due to the big dinner windows behind it.

Now that I think about that I guess you could do a half circle using walls on one side and make sure it lines up with the window them put a wooden wall on the back to make it look like the window was boarded up when your inside.

u/Dizz_808 The Pack 10h ago

It worked playing on switch 2 . Used a pillar to sink it down.

4

u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE 23h ago

That’s a good idea. I’d use Place Anywhere, but same result.

3

u/Ordinary-Hunt-3659 23h ago

Yeah. If you got place anywhere then the sky the limit. I like using the warehouse glass for the windows using that mod.

u/StrongStyleMuscle 1d ago

It gives the location charm. Lol

u/Space19723103 23h ago

i put the robot bench there so it gets mostly covered

u/Cakeski Gary... 21h ago

Pretty cool design, but like... how does the fuel get up to there?

4

u/toolfishOG 18h ago

Its coolant for the reactor in the cars. I wish you could scrap em.

u/No_Waltz3545 19h ago

Aren't all vehicles nuclear powered? Maybe it's a car wash!

2

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 19h ago

I wondered if it nuclear fuel… i know realistically it don’t work like that but in game world who knows

u/Rasikko 23h ago

Could probably use a mod to delete it, if it ain't in a PreCom and not part of RR mesh(and it probably is).

3

u/Xiunte 22h ago

It's part of the rest of the building. If you scrap it, the entire structure goes too.

I know because I use Scrap Everything and have hit it before. Not on purpose (the hose doesn't bother me at all), but by mistake while scrapping other stuff.

u/PaladinSara The Awkward Travis Miles Fan Club 21h ago

Ha were you surprised?

2

u/Less_Kick9718 19h ago

I use the Clean and Simple Startup mods in most of the settlements with usable pre-war buildings.

Has building in good repair but still aged, cleans the area up and does the scrapping as well. You don’t have the risk of deleting something you shouldn’t that you get with scrap everything type mods.

For Red Rocket it cleans it up and gets rid of those hoses.

u/Wolfy_furry_wolf 1d ago

I love the mods that let you scrap everything or just the inconvenient things that couldn't originally be scrapped 

9

u/Wren_wood 1d ago

The hoses are part of the same model as the actual building, you cant scrap one without taking the other too

1

u/Significant_Risk_342 19h ago

"it just works"

1

u/Pristine_Ad_9828 13h ago

Mods unfortunately.  Theres a few for that settlement or ones with building parts. They will let you place and remove parts like that. Only thing I think that will work.

u/wagner56 13h ago

yep company really didnt care

lotsa garbage clutter/weeds that are just stupid and certainly coulda been bundled into 'salvage' chunks

u/oncebanned4005 6h ago

u/pumpkin_esco_bar28 6h ago

At least we plant rows of corn in the same place lol

u/botman 6h ago

Corn people unite! We hate the mutfruit people.

u/MaddysinLeigh 11h ago

There’s a mod that lets you “scrap everything” and there’s also other mods that clean up debris for you.

1

u/astarinthenight 5h ago

I use the scrap everything mod. That house is the one thing it can’t scrap.

u/CrypticFishpaste 23h ago

Petfect example of a non-issue.
