Incredible Settlements Created by 'Fallout 4' Players

2015-12-07T20:00:12Z

In the new game "Fallout 4," you've got a role to play in rebuilding human civilization following the nuclear apocalypse.

But, rather than rebuilding civilization, many of the game's players are instead creating their dream homes. Or even dream towns! Like so:

The latest game in the long-running "Fallout" series puts players in "The Commonwealth," which is essentially the Boston metropolitan area (think: Cambridge, Jamaica Plains, etc. in addition to Boston itself). "Fallout 4's" contribution to the series is a building system, which enables players to create some unbelievable settlements: places where you and other settlers can live, ranging from small homes to...well:

Indeed. Here are the best player-created settlements we've found thus far, care of Reddit and Imgur and forums.

One player is building a "small" home on an abandoned barge:

It's made up entirely of shipping containers, as one does.

At least it's got a nice-ish view!

Not content to create a living space, one player took things <em>to the limit</em> and created this massive re-creation of a Rubik's Cube:

It's powered by over 180 generators.

But forget about barge homes and massive Rubik's Cubes — this is the largest settlement we've seen yet, and it's almost certainly the most detailed.

It's got a nice lounge area with a panorama view of post-apocalypse Boston!

From which you've got incredible views.

Its proud creator stands at the gates in some pretty spiffy armor.

Players aren't sticking to just land-based settlements either. Here's an amazing flying house!

Better yet, this creator added a special section dedicated to the game's dog: Dogmeat. Here, the house is anchored to the ground by cables.

Dogmeat looks pretty happy about his sweet house.

This pooch is part of the jet set.

But most settlements are a bit more modest. This one in Somerville isn't a looker, but it's got tons of amenities.

Like balconies.

And spots to lounge in.

And a massive farm.

And a watchtower full of automated turrets for defense from evil raiders.

But it's still pretty dreary at night, unfortunately.

Instead of going with a more conventional home, one player built this small town on a strip of still-standing highway.

There are commercial districts and homes. And some pretty great places to catch rays.

There's even a town hospital, run by one of the game's factions.

Without mods, one Xbox One player created this densely packed town.

The front entrance is heavily guarded, as it should be.

But once inside, there's lots to do. There's this large marketplace, for instance.

And a whole mess of different types of merchant.

The creator of this settlement made themselves a particularly nice home within the town.

Rather than create a full town, one builder took the Sanctuary settlement and turned it into an adorable treehouse.

Here's a closer look.

Like any treehouse worth its wood, this one's got a living tree running right through the middle.

Better yet, it's got a desk with a view, for writing The Great Post-American Novel.

But some folks are more defense-oriented. This castle, replete with moat, should do it.

And finally, this one required mods to complete, but it's maybe the most fully built out city of all.

The city's gates are high and go a long way in turning off would-be invaders.

The city's full of dilapidated, yet oddly pretty buildings.

It looks especially good around dusk, when everything's lit by the dim bulbs of the post-apocalypse.
