About this mod
The Minutemen take over and protect the commonwealth. We've got concrete! Now we got FORTS!
Minuteman Forts! (Works with and without required files)
Bare and empty minuteman forts that you can creatively furnish with the mods you already have!
ONLY 5 (Optional) Required files that don't count as mods.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
This is a Bare and Empty Minuteman Fort for Fallout 4. Why Bare and Empty? It's 50/50 - Some cheating, some fun!!
So you can decorate it as you choose!
These just work. You can download the file and it will just work with Fallout 4 and all DLC.
That's it. You only need the required files if you want it to look likethe pictures. Download 5 mods max THAT TAKE UP ZERO MOD SPACE .
They are all .ESL's and DIRECT to Data folder loose file drops, So Vortex
doesn't even count the 5 downloads as a Mods, and your PRECARIOUSLY
constructed, (working for now) load order, Doesn't get deeply and intimately visited by the CTD ghost of Ron Jeremy.
Why? EASE OF USE!!
SCRAP DAT OBNOXIOUS SHACK! WALLS! PUMPS! LADDERS! TOWERS! TRASH!
If you download the required mods, the precombines will be rebuilt and
nearly everything will be clean, blue, new, and SCRAP-ABLE!
Trying to fit in the 75 item clutter mods added by your average blueprint into
your ALREADY 300 mod+ setup that CTD's every hour on the hour, just so
you can transfer a blueprint for a settlement that looks like aliexpress and wish.com had a baby?
- Ain't Nobody got time for that!
Don't just plop down 10 sleeping bags, a Turret and 6 tatos and go off to save the world, NEVER TO RETURN!
Do you play with mortal settlers? Do you play with bigger raids, extra enemies, or War of the Commonwealth?
Help your settlers live about 40 seconds longer with a NEW MINUTEMAN FORT!
Now, you can decorate and finish this fort by adding your own style. Put the
garden and the armory where you want to. Use the Settlement and Clutter
mods you already have to make this fort your own and make it come
alive. Tear down walls, add new rooms and wings, fill the insides with a
shanty town. MOVE THIS HERE, MOVE THAT THERE! Knock down this wall, partition this room - ALL Your choice!
Each Fort comes with enough room for 30+ people , multiple areas for
planting standard game crops (using the soil or getting creative with
floor planters).
Sometime I leave cool starter stuff like generators, water pumps, and stores all
for free - but you've got to do the rest. Why? If you're playing a
semi-serious play-through, it gives you something left to do. My blue
prints are NOT wired, Why? Sometimes I play with Tesla power mods,
sometimes I play with solar power mods, and sometimes I wire it the old
fashioned way. There are STILL things left to do in this settlement - SO
YOU CHOOSE IF and HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT!
I left hints everywhere of what to do with each area, but the FINAL CHOICE IS UP TO YOU!
Do the fun, creative stuff. I got the rest.
Enjoy!

Q & A time:
Q: These are just Boring, basic looking square boxes, maaan. You need to
do something to decorate them maan, or maybe jazz dem up bro... fer reals,
I'm in my feels and imma be internet mean bro...-1 point for you
bro...I hated to have to flex on you, but I hoped you learned your
lesson maaaan...You have to fill up that settlement with stuff bro, fer
like, reasons....
A: No. I don't. Cause ain't nobody got time for that! If you've read this
far, then you have already read the section saying this is a "Here's a
big free fort for you to decorate" thingy up there that took up half the
page.
Q: But no man, it's a bummer maaaan....Waaay uncool man, cause my mom's boyfriend decorates my Dad's forts for him when he's on
shift. Why can't I crybully my way into making you do what I want maaan? I'm
totally using the pressure of fake internet points maaan. Feel the
pressure Brah...Decorate this fort for me brah or i'll not give you a fake
useless internet point that you can't spend anywhere maaaan...
A: O.O . I actually have no response to this, because it's way too much
evil and crazy to unpack (this actually happens to me everytime I post
on reddit). The bots and the trolls man, they be after me lucky charms.
Oh, and work hard for YOUR??? approval so you can not give me the fake
internet points that you weren't going to give me in the first place?
LOL pass.
Q: IT doesn't work in my Load order of 7,653,242 mods - will you take a look at my load order and tell me why it won't load?
A: MO@#$--- I mean, I'm afraid i am not going to be able to assist you with that, much to my dismay.
Q: Aw, c'mon man, how you gonna make something and NOT make the effort to support it?
A: I'm....not the first....Have you heard of a little company called Bethesda?
Q: I wanna build like this. What mods do you use?
A: Okay! I have all my build mods in my build PROFILE in the mods COLLECTIONS - its just a straight up BUILD KIT!!
Q: how's it work?
A: Well thanks for asking! I CREATED a BUILD mode collection file that
will give you all the tools I used to make these forts in their bare
bones state. IF you wanna get funky with it, YOU NEED VORTEX as your mod
manger or a 200 IQ. I chose the former. Create multiple separate in
game profiles - then create one just to build. Then download the
Arrownight build kit mod collection to THAT profile and BAM - separate
build kit!
DA Build Collection Link
Q: WHY are you uploading all this NOW?
A: Gotta purge before Starfield...
