worik's Graygarden

Starting at a bright and sunny day after I did my basic layout of the settlement

[worik]

Same spot, view to the south. The main building on the right, the secondary building on the left

[worik]

Same buildings but from the south, view to the north. It's the main gate, that you can see in the shadows

[worik]

1st floor of the main building in it's first expansion step (I expanded it already a bit)

It's the settlement's canteen, a bar is under construction in the 2nd floor

[worik]

Bird's eye

 

[worik]

I modified it a bit. Even though the basic layout stayed the way.

 

View from the south entrance. A new gate, thanks to @Inte's inspiration

[worik]

Northwest corner

fortified concrete with a turret

reserved for military purposes

 

The northside is secured with concrete walls

View from west to east over the central farming area

The area on the left, next to the wall is reserved for Sim Settlement 2 agricultural plots

[worik]

Bird's eye view of the southern gate and the southern building(s)

 

Right of the gate (east) is the southern part of my U shaped main building.

The lower floor has sanitary rooms, laundry, storage, etc.

The second floor with the first big glass windows is the social area, a bar, the restaurant/canteen area

The third floor is the nursery, living quarters and the huge glass room is currently Piper's and Ellen's bedroom.

Fourth floor is my own room above theirs and an area that will become my office (once I have looted enoough scrap again)

*under construction*

I'm going to integrate the broken road ramps into  the settlement

 

[worik]

view between the road levels

[worik]

view from north to south at the main building.

 

The main building is roughly U shaped, its southern part is under the road, its northern wing has the elevator, ladders and stairs up to the broken road levels

The main building will contain living areas (SS2 internals plots and manually arranged), office and HQ functions in the northern wing. The western wing will focus on trade, commerce and perhaps a small medical section.

View to the southwest with the western building.

 

It's intended for workbenches and other industrial use. The open gate at ground level is the garage and depot for power armors.

The upper levels will be filled with SS2 internal plots.

You are amazing, maximum use of space.  So show some pictures of the insides.

That's where I lack the building materials for now. Some of the SS2 plots are under construction but with my settings, they will take a few days to complete.

But I'm starting the game right now and try to get some good screenshots.

And I haven't posted the other areas of the settlement, yet

 

Edit: It will take a few minutes. My game is too dark for good screenshots. I'll have to brighten them up a bit

My office, southern wing, 4th floor

Stairs downwards on the left, more empty space (for trade) behind me. The southern gate is down below on the right. The door leads to my spartanic bedroom.

[worik]

My spartanic bedroom. My main residence and all nice stuff is still in Sanctuary. Pictures, clothes, my bobblehead collection, etc...

Peeking through the door

 

and turning left

 

[worik]

Pipers/Ellens/Companions bedroom, we are now below my own bedroom.

 

Behind the walls on the left is the nursery

 

Just the basic needs for the orphan babies that I find (*cough* when I kill the raider scum that is their biological parent). I'll have that area on my highest priority, once I get more scrap. A doctor is already hired to care for them.

 

One floor below on the right is the canteen.

[worik]

Turning around, we are right above the southern gate.

Under construction is a SimSettlements2 plot - the caravan office.

 

[worik]

Down below, view from the west to the east: the sanitary and storage area

The southern gate is right behind me, doors on the right to the toilets, showers, sinks. Laundry in the background. A fresh water unit is under construction back on the right.

Plants on the left are part of the "Advanced Needs 76" mod and used for the coffe maker above. The canteen is right above this room.

 

[worik]

We are now in the western building - crafting and industrial purposes

The garage

Above the garage is a shop for spare parts under construction

 

And back to the main building, northern wing, ground level (which is actually the 4th floor in the southern wing due to the hill).

Here is the HQ, the provisioner line control station and a communications station (a mod that lets me place a beacon on a container and settlers carry the loot inside back to the settlement) .

More HQ functions will develop later as part of the SS2 questline.

Attaching batteries to my solar panels:

 

We have various versions available, depending on your science skill

Spoiler

 

They fit perfectly underneath the solar panels, but in order to connect them to your power grid, it's nearly impossible to get the lock on them, once in place.

So, you better place them apart, connect them and reposition them afterwards.

And done

[worik]

The industrial plots from Sim Settlements at the eastern side. (a bit of foggy weather is coming up)

The left one is still under construction.

 

The daily production of the right plot ?

Setting up office accomodations.

A desk with a hightech RobCo terminal for Piper and Ellen

 

And my own office. I'm not sure, if I keep it that way. And definetely, I need some potted plants or flowers.

[worik]

Now, I have installed the mod

More Colorful Potted Plants https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17314

The big question is to select the best plants for my office and to decide where to put the others
