I've almost finished creating a new camp and it's Raider-themed! It's rough and really has a "scavenged materials" feel... no flowers and fewer lights this time :lol: .

I hope to post some shots today but it may have to be held over until tomorrow.

...and finished! I'm pleased with this one; I used plenty of wood and defensive items to try and create a scavenged, rough n' ready impression.

Jawa, you should do the quest lines as you get plans from them as well as the station shops (you likely know that, but I am telling you anyway!)

Thanks, Pedz! Yeah, I have the bulk of the camp building plans but there are items that you can only get by completing daily ops and other missions... which I very rarely tackle. I think I might take a break from building at some point and try to work on the missions.

I used some of the new "destroyed" materials to create this wreck out on the Ash Heap.

A couple of folk on Discord asked to see some interior shots of my latest camp. I usually stick to external snaps in general, but there is a neat rundown-but-comfy vibe going on here.

I setup a new camp out by the track on the Ash Heap.

I've enjoyed a quiet day hidden away at home in the Forest.

Hey, Pedz! I had an aunt and my dad both in hospital and I wasn't around for a few Wednesdays... but all is well now! I can't be there this Weds 'cos football, but I hope to join you and Cumberdanes soon, though!

The Pitt, the new expansion for Falllout 76, arrives in September. Looks cool but I *think* you have to be pretty high level to tackle it... we'll see, though.

I *think* I'm going to take a break from the game for a while.

I've been playing - well, mainly building - in the game for a few years now. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and the building aspect has kept my interest for such a long time. My annual game sub is coming up for renewal in a few weeks, though, and my feeling is that I'll leave it for now.

I haven't really played much else to any great degree these past years; bar an Animal Crossing fixation back in 2020. I'll sleep on it but my thinking is that perhaps it's time to try a few different things.

Shortest break ever! :lol:

Haha, yeah, sometimes you gotta take a break and then return stronger than ever!

After my MASSIVE (four-day!) break from the game I've been building again; the rain fell as I created this camp in the Forest.

The Pitt game update is available and I'm downloading now :toot: .

The update is 69 Gb on PlayStation. And then there'll be a massive "updating" time afterwards. Oh well, tomorrow night, then :fp: :lol:.

Okay... huge update downloaded, installed and I'm playing now.

First up: nothing was mentioned about it in the patch notes, but the graphics seem to be substantially sharper, with a greater viewing distance. I'm playing on PS4 Pro and either they are better or my eyesight has suddenly improved :o .

Edit: I dunno... I'm just wandering around checking and the textures do look better.

These expeditions into the Pitt are large-scale repeatable missions for groups of up to 4 players. From Whitespring Refuge in Appalachia, players will power a Vertibird to transport them into the heart of The Pitt. What awaits are randomized, repeatable, end-game missions designed to test the most experienced and prepared groups. Conquer Expeditions to earn Stamps, a new currency exchangeable for powerful and rare Expedition-themed rewards. Unlock new challenges and earn new rewards in the Pitt! Free for all Fallout 76 players! Available now.

I have a few new wall pieces to try out and I enjoyed putting this place together. It's set just by The Rusty Pick.
