Everything About Building in Fallout 76: How to Build a Camp, Move Your House, Repair Walls and Furniture

Building plays a key role in Fallout 76 — players can set up their bases wherever they want. Everything you need to know about it is in this article.

The building system is not much different from Fallout 4 — within the radius of a point, the player can build desired objects, spending a certain amount of materials and resources. However, there are some differences:

The interface is slightly changed: now items are located on the left edge of the screen, and several texture options for the same item are available.

C.A.M.P can be called the most important without exaggeration. It is with its help that you can move your base wherever you want — to do this, you need to find the desired place for relocation and press the «Move C.A.M.P» button in the Pip-Boy. The further the player is from their current base, the more caps will be required.

In addition, C.A.M.P can be used to repair your base — if it is damaged by players or mutants attacking the resident, just press the «Repair All Structures» button while standing next to the C.A.M.P. Resources will be spent on repairs, and broken items may work incorrectly — turrets, for example, will not fire.

In addition, many other useful stations can be placed in the camp. For example, a cooking pot is extremely necessary — the player constantly needs to eat and drink to survive.

When installing items that run on electricity, be sure to set up power generators — they are just as important as water.

The Vault-Tec Storage is a stash box that can be accessed not only from your own camp but from all locations where such containers are installed. No other players can access this stash — the contents are individual for each player. However, the volume of such a box is limited, so you can't hide all your belongings there.

Because of this, items can also be stored in regular boxes. However, these can be looted by other players. It is highly recommended to install locks on such containers — while this won't fully protect from marauders, it will at least mark them as enemies when they break the lock, giving you more opportunities to track them down.

As in Fallout 4, building in Fallout 76 is done using materials found in junk. Junk can be found anywhere — in buildings, on tables, on the ground. When a player dies, they lose all their junk, leaving it on the corpse. Remembering how important junk was in the previous part of the series, you realize that in this multiplayer spin-off, you will have to search even more, competing with other builder-kleptomaniacs.

Here, Bethesda has been accommodating: they added resource production stations that give a certain material every few hours. This allows you to avoid scavenging farms and barns in search of, for example, a bag of fertilizer.

Before dumping all the found fans and toy cars into storage, it is recommended to break them down into materials — this way, they take up less space.
