About this mod

A rebuild of my Oil Platform in the Commonwealth. (Blueprint and Clipboard pattern included)

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Introduction:

Another project I built a few years ago and wanted to update before moving on to something else. Building this was a constant battle to finish that took many months while also working on other projects. When I finally decided to call it finished, I was exhausted and just wanted it to be done.

Now, it's been several years so I wanted to go back and see if I could try to finish it properly. I removed a few mods, then added nearly 700 new pieces to make some areas more accessible and add a bit more detail. And with the help of Clipboard Resurrection, I moved it to Waterworld (aka Let's Get Wet), a settlement location mod by Greekrage.


Some Background:

I'm not really a settlement builder but do enjoy building in Fallout 4. I create these builds for my own enjoyment, and there are no plans to update them (unless I really want to). Also, this comes as is and works fine on my pc, although other user experiences may vary. I just hope that others can enjoy using this as much as I enjoyed building it.

I also build with the idea of using as few mods as is necessary. So, most of the mods I use have been chosen because they are comprehensive and include many different pieces. I usually have many different ideas for builds in the works because ideas for one particular build may dry up or I just become bored after spending 50-60 hours on it (and why this took so long to build).

*Also included is a Clipboard Resurrection pattern file (pattern.ini) that is much quicker than Transfer Settlements and doesn't include its requirements.



Recommended Mods:(highly recommended)

Workshop Plus (allows flying while in workshop mode among other options and makes moving around in a build much easier and really can add to your creativity) (just don't forget to shut off the workshop 5 second timer (F5) (from Place Everywhere))

Build High - Expanded Settlements 5.0 (doesn't work with Workshop Anywhere but offers 200+ floors and expanded boundaries in vanilla settlements) (great for any arial builds like skyscrapers/aircraft/spacecraft etc...)

Place Everywhere (of course) (If I could only choose one building mod for Fallout 4, this would be it.)



Installation:

* Make sure that you have F4SE, HUD Framework and Transfer Settlements installed.

* Extract the file "Data" and copy, then paste to your Fallout 4 game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4).

* This blueprint uses slot 16. If you would rather it be a different folder, create another folder and number it (1-100) in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\TransferSettlements\blueprints. Then add the .json file to the folder.

* The easiest way I've found to add a blueprint is to create a shortcut to the blueprint folder and place it on my desktop. Then when I download a new blueprint I can extract it, copy it, go right to the blueprint folder and either paste the new folder or create a new folder and place the .json file in it. Done!



Importing:

Follow the instructions for adding the Let's Get Wet mod by Greekrage.

Just follow the import directions below for Clipboard Resurrection. Although, for importing the Blueprint just standing next to the workshop will work fine.

Import the settlement via the Transfer Settlements holotape, detailed instructions on this process can be found on the Transfer Settlements mod page.

Also, before importing and to ensure the settlement imports correctly always import and export on the STABLE (preset), not normal. Then always use Marker Based, where it will open the workshop while it's importing or exporting so it simulates you actually building manually.

To import, enable the following options from within the holotape:

*[Enable Import DLC items
*[Enable Import mod-added items


*[Enable Import or nuke marker-based items
*[Enable Import wired power connections
*[Enable Restore snapped power connections


Special Note: After importing the blueprint don't immediately save the game. The papyrus function needs time to catch up with all the changes that were made, and your game will freeze until it finishes. This process may take 5-10 minutes then it will save your game. It's best to let it finish. When it finishes, create a full save.


Using the Clipboard Resurrection pattern file:

After extracting the files from your download, copy/paste the Clipboard pattern (pattern.ini) to a folder located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\F4SE\Plugins\Clipboard.

Then while in game:

* Build the clipboard tool.
* Choose "Move To Pattern Source Location" in the action menu first.
* Then choose "Paste From Clipboard".




Special Note:  If you enjoy building in Fallout 4 and are on Facebook, the best building groups I've found are the Fallout 4 Settlement Building and Fallout 4: Commonwealth Creators groups. They include some of the best builders in the Fallout community. They also include builders of all skill levels and can answer any questions you might have about mods, materials, or techniques used for building in Fallout 4.
