During the construction of premises for settlers in Vault 88 it will require many light sources and a huge amount of energy. Moreover, many lamps and fixtures cannot be connected directly to an electrical source. In addition for Vault-Tec Workshop can be used new system providing electricity through diffusers and channels.

How to provide electricity to rooms in Fallout 4: Vault-Tec

Energy is not an easy thing in Vault 88. You can build rooms, atriums, and multi-story structures inside it, but they take up an incredibly large amount of space. But at the same time, you will need to place lamps on the walls and ceilings, which cannot be connected directly to the generator, and the generators themselves take up a lot of space, it is also inconvenient to place them a lot, let alone power lines.

However, there is a way to supply electricity, although it may seem complicated. But just to show up.

The Vault-Tec Workshop add-on has new elements:

  • Shelter electrical boxes
  • Vault-Tec reactor/Vault-Tec super reactor

Any reactor is installed on the floor and is capable of providing electricity to almost all rooms of residents. But what if the rooms are not connected to each other or are located away from the reactor?

Option 1

On the menu Power -> Wiring there are new elements Tubes or power cable channels. They are attached to the walls of the home and are capable of providing electricity to a considerable area. All you need to do is place such tubes (vertical, horizontal, corner) along the entire perimeter of the atriums and connect them to the reactor on one side.



Energy dissipator. This is a universal conductor of electricity that is mounted on the roof, so it is usually not visible from below. There is a model with a light that lights up when current is supplied.

But there must be a place inside the room Shelter electrical box, otherwise the light bulbs inside will not receive energy. But the box itself will be able to take it even from the diffusers that are on the roof.



Option 2

Usage Electrical shelter boxes. On the menu Power -> Connectors and Switches New Vault boxes have appeared. The electrical box of the shelter is installed indoors and is capable of drawing energy from the outside. All these boxes can be placed on the outside and on the inside. They can replace Tubes.

Using tubes, boxes and diffuser, can be used one reactor and provide the entire shelter with electricity, even in those places where power line supports cannot be installed and their use is not possible in principle.

The general options are presented in the screenshots in this material, so the general meaning should be clear.

Do you want to electrify your community, but don’t know how to do it? Here you will find answers to the most asked questions. After this, wiring electricity will become simple entertainment for you.

How to connect electricity in Fallout 4

So, you have already learned how to build, all that remains is to improve the settlement. Devices and mechanisms require electricity to operate in Fallout 4. In order for it to appear in the town, first build a generator. The choice of generator size depends on how many devices you plan to connect to it. There are devices that consume the resource of the generator, and there are those that are not taken into account. For example, light bulbs, fans, TVs do not consume generator resources, but, say, industrial lighting consumes 1 unit of energy. Let's figure out how to run a wire from a generator in Fallout 4. To do this, while in the construction menu, go to the generator and when it lights up, press the spacebar, a wire will appear that we can stretch to the required point.

Electrification of settlements

Learning how to make electricity for settlements in Fallout 4 is easy. To do this, you will need to configure generators, power line supports, and electrical appliances. They often don’t know how to connect electricity in Fallout 4. It is connected using wires, and they only appear if you have a sufficient amount of copper.

How to conduct electricity in Fallout 4 if no wire appears when you press space? Then make sure that the item can be connected to the network.

How to install electricity in Fallout 4 if the wire is not long enough? In this case, place an intermediate support or pole.

Fallout 4 how to provide electricity to a village? To transmit energy over distances, use poles and power line supports. You can build them yourself or use existing ones. To connect you will need copper, which is used to make the wire.

How to connect electricity in Fallout 4? First, you need to decide whether or not you need additional boxes and poles. If they are not there, there will be nowhere to connect the wire from the generator.

In Fallout 4, connecting electricity occurs by connecting a generator and a power distributor such as an electrical box. All nearby devices will automatically work, even if they are not directly connected by wires.

Fallout 4 how to connect electricity to a house if it has just been built and there is nothing in it? To connect electricity to your home, build a generator, connect it using wires to an electrical box, which you install on the wall outside the house. If your house is large and there is electricity in only one part, add another box in the place where there is no light and connect it to the previous one.

Fallout 4 how to install electricity in the house? We approach the generator and, using a space bar, connect the generator to the electrical box on the wall, using the sparking wire that appears for this.

Wiring

Wiring is needed for manufacturing items that involve electricity, for repairing and modifying armor. Where can I find wiring in Fallout 4 and what things need to be disassembled for this?

It is found in electronic devices:
telephone – 2 pcs.;
tiles – 2 pcs.;
Improved guidance map – 2 pcs.;
Military microcircuit – 5 pcs.;
wire – 1 pc.;
Emergency transmitter – 1 pc.;
Switched off emergency transmitter – 1 pc.;
Touch module – 5 pcs.

You can buy from Karla in a pack of 25 pieces. You can meet her caravan in Sanctuary, or from other traders, 25, 50 pieces in a batch.
If you visited the Minutemen's castle in Fallout 4, where can you get electricity to run the transmitter? We build two medium generators right next to it and use the spacebar to connect them to the transmitter.

The question in Fallout 4 of how to connect electricity to a castle will not confuse you if you have electrified at least one house. In certain places, in construction mode, we install generators, then we place mounting boxes and switches along the walls and connect it all with wires. After this, we place lighting and electrical appliances.
