Sorry I've been away at work this week, but I've managed to quickly complete and test out some ceiling segments for the Atrium Zone of the vault. Enjoy! It is n early structural phase of development. There will be more details such as pipes, ducts etc. As I said before, I want to create a set of modular pieces so that I can accelerate the construction of the Vault! =D

@JonathanHunt I’ll upload a screenshot of my progress with developing a working terminal at some point. Basically all I’ve done is welded the terminal into a single interactive entity with its own First-Person Camera. On interacting with the terminal, the players viewpoint zooms where the terminal screen fills the FOV. At this point I can either initiate a dialogue network or introduce a set of custom HUDs. I’m looking into developing the HUD option as it will look...

Thanks mate! I'm playing around with various dialogue-based scripts & HUD changing features to essentially use the terminals like you would in the game. It's proving tricky in some areas however and I've paused development on it until I complete the vault's primary structure! As you can see, there is still plenty left to be done! Here is a screenshot of the Atrium area. It's a big task which requires a lot of detail to be implemented. It took me a solid 20...

Hi guys! Im getting ahead of myself here as I’m barely exploring shallow waters so far but: With the introduction of Oxygen Harvesters, is it possible to live under the sea in perpetuity? As far as I know, it’s still impossible to build airtight undersea structures yet (Massive desire for that by the way!). Regardless of that draw back. Has anyone tried this idea yet? I like the idea of building a permanent habitation down in the depths of the sea!

I decided to update and improve the main entrance to the Vault. This includes creating an entire catalogue of structural assets and objects made to be identical to those in the game itself. This includes but not limited to, structural supports and joists, wall panels and some furniture (RAD Scrubbers). I put together this nifty vault label made from 2 layers of blocks. Layer 2 being placed underneath and painted blue. It matches the original game design...

Being locked away in a Vault for a lifetime requires that we have a renewable food source! I present to you the 'Grow-N-Prosper 1000' This revolutionary device will bring out the green thumb in anyone! Plant your seeds inside and the ZAX AI Mastercomputer will do the rest! As you can see, I'm toying with the retro-futuristic technology. Ice blocks are the perfect material for my tech catalogue as it's a nice clean texture that I can overlap without any visual...

I was a little more brazen! I used to build my little hut and farm nestled amongst the mountains as trees didn’t spawn on polar islands back then. It required a lot of preparation before settling there however. I needed to ensure I brought enough materials to build my blueprint house, warm clothes and seeds for renewable resources and food.

So i've ditched the energy-based lights for glowsticks. I've created little light emitters where I can place them. I think you'll agree, the lighting looks far more subtle and superior in comparison to the previous one. To achieve this off-colour white, I placed a Yellow & Blue Glowstick in close proximity to each other. The low light works great underground and picks out the little details of the rest of the structure.

Oh I got another one! I remember when Ylands hosted their own Exploration servers that anyone could join! The maps were enormous and islands weren’t easy to find back then! I used to pack my bags and sail off to the polar islands. Back then people didn’t even bother trying to explore the polar wastes as there was nothing there. With the right kit I could survive there for weeks without being raided!

I miss the original main menu screen. So simple, yet so elegant! It sold the game to me in seconds.

I've made some great progress on recreating certain structural assets that are common in Vault-tec Architecture. This screenshot show's a particular buttressed archway that I believe is very eye-catching and further adds to the Fallout-theme. It's only a minor feature, but with enough assemblies like this, you will actually feel like you're playing a Fallout-esc game!

That’s exactly the phrase I was getting at. I’d love to release a ‘Door Pack’ onto the community workshop. Players could then place blueprinted doors, build them, and then use them in their bases, projects etc.

First off, I know that what I’m asking for would require a ‘huge’ amount of work for the devs, but I think that it would finally bridge our love for Exploration and Editor! I would love to be able to place, and build a blueprintable logic-operated door which I have designed or downloaded on editor. These photos are taken from my Project Safehouse Build and demonstrate perfectly what I’d like to see incorporated into Ylands. But how can this be implemented? A...

Up with this suggestion! Up to the highest QOL category!

And that’s the avenue that I’m hoping will be viable. Such as the core component for ships is it’s hull, so maybe submarines could be a hollow ‘box’ for players to build around and inside.

Submarines or watertight habitation is top of my wish-list!

I don’t mind the lack of temperature protection. It encourages me to brew cold resistance potions. Potions need to be brought back into the spotlight and this is a good way about doing it I think.

Got my first shark encounter! Only just got back to my boat with half a heart to spare! Its obvious to say that my real heart was pounding!

@spiritchaser28 Believe me when I say that I’ve got a full Hard Drive of Fallout Vault concept art, screenshots and videos! It takes me hours just to do the preliminary work on an area! That being said, I do have plans to include a hydroponics area, which players will be required to operate to maintain their food supply! Reading the lore behind the Vaults, they were touted as the most technologically advanced shelters the USA had produced. They’re purpose...

"We'll be ready for battle! Should any Pirate wish to shake their little fist at us, our retribution will be so hard they'll wish they kept their hands in their pockets!"

ORIENTATION SESSIONS Adjusting to your new life in the vault is an overwhelming experience! "What is my purpose?", "What's going on outside?", "Where can I get a Nuka Cola?". All new Vault residents should attend an Orientation Session. This part of the Vault will allow new players to enjoy a cup of tea and watch a series of slides explaining their new life as a functioning member of the Vault community! I'm still tinkering with the scripting but I think you'll...

The Computer Core is pretty much complete save for a few more wall details, pipes, vents etc. I added a Logic Timer to trigger every second in order to make the green cursor block on the terminals flash to add more realism. I must admit, they look brilliant! The cassette cabinets behind also rotate in different speeds and directions.

WORKING TERMINALS! ...Or at least I hope so! After much micro-positioning of objects, I've finally created a welded entity in the form of a retro-sci-fi computer terminal! It's my hope to create some basic scripts where a player can interrogate a terminal and perform certain pre-written instructions. These could be anything from lighting controls, door locks or security cameras. Not to mention any story-driven narrative! I spent an embarrassing...

The build is progressing well. The main entrance hall is structurally complete, incorporating a little security office where players can make use of the external security cameras. Now for the meat of the project! This is my concept of some of the heavy duty doors that I've encountered when exploring Vault 111 in Fallout 4. They aren't really seen anywhere else, which is a shame because I like the design. I've decided to include it into my design as the...

Here's the new version of the interior doors. This includes a door control box that's fully animated. I've even applied some sound to great effect. The door feels heavy and clunky as it should! It's been designed to traditional Fallout style!
