While on the surface the world has gone to hell following years of nuclear war, these underground bunkers remain isolated little pockets of humanity. Vaults are an integral part of Fallout lore. In the game’s latest add-on, called “Vault-Tec Workshop,” the entire experience is centered on this mechanic, but with one fascinating twist: you can finally build the twisted Fallout vault of your dreams. With the crafting system, you could build homes, shops, and entertainment, providing residents of the Commonwealth a safe place they could call home. Since its launch last year, one of the biggest additions to Fallout 4 has been the ability to construct small towns, little beacons of hope amongst the post-apocalyptic desolation.
I didn’t realize how fun settlement building in Fallout 4 could be until I started working on an underground bunker filled with elaborate psychological experiments.
