Just in case anyone is still looking at my Fallout 4 things, I thought I should provide an update. Recently, I’ve been working on two new Conquest outposts. I like to build near water for some reason. Maybe it’s because I would be attracted to ponds, lakes, and sea-fronting views if I were a miserable settler.

The first place is Caldeira (again, I don’t get to pick the names — the Conquest mod has a limited list). It’s located down the shore from Nordhagen Beach. In an earlier post, I showed a couple of preliminary efforts here, so now I’m returning to it. By the way, forgive the fuzziness of some of the pictures. This is a result of 1980 resolution on a 27-inch monitor, I think.

Here’s an aerial shot to convey the size.

Eesa beeg.

A side shot:

I like the market on the water and the funky metal guard tower.

Here’s one of my guards, making sure that the Prydwen doesn’t go anywhere.

You can’t have too many ham radios.

I’m especially fond of my water-processing building. I mean, there’s lots of water, so why not process it?

I like big mysterious machines painted in utility-yellow.

Next up is Dunn Outpost, which is located across the street from the General Atomics Galleria. Situated on a pond, this location was challenging because not one scrap of ground is flat.

Settlers like to go across the street to visit the robots.

A side shot featuring the hilly terrain and the pond:

Eesa big, too.

This place has hilly, rocky terrain — tough to build on:

The hills are alive.

Lots of support structures are needed:

One of the engineering marvels of the post-war world.

Did I mention that everything is on rocky, hilly terrain?

Nothing can stop progress.

A shot featuring a rooftop bar, a guard tower, and the pond:

That flag actually waves.

One of my dorm rooms (still working on the wiring):

I like the rug.

Another dorm with a laundry:

Those washing machines and dryers actually work. . . . not really.

There you go. Maybe I’ll have more unless I come to my senses and start a new game.
