GUEST C.A.M.P. BUILDS
I want to share the joy I feel from friends who love building really, really well, but don’t show their work outside the game. From time to time I will share some of their creations here.
RIVER COTTAGE
Builder: Talibe specializes in authentic builds that speak with humility and integrity. The River Cottage exemplifies this humble, honest approach. Built before relaxed rules, there is a lot of detail here that most visitors, including builders, will miss. We often talk of the detail that goes into the things people don’t notice, simply so they don’t notice, and nobody is better at this than Talibe.
Build: Built for young Tali, the cottage is humble and rustic, apparently hand-built for practicality and homeliness without frills. It is all a single person (and a bunch of cats) needs and not one bit more. There is no decor for the sake of it and no junk just being junky. In-game it is a beautiful haven, a place to retreat to, with dappled shadows and a lovely, peaceful outlook.
Music: Based around some melancholy progressions I’d been working with, THE PASSING is an original song about loss and sadness completed without a specific location or story in mind. Talibe graciously allowed me to set it to the river cottage, adding the graves and a few other elements to make it just right for the video.
Location: Northwest Forest Region.
Owner: Talibe
TIKI SHACK
BUILT SEPTEMBER 2025
Builder: Ta_a~chan is my secondary character, created mostly to help with recording videos. She is humble and conservative in her tastes, caught all 3 local legends in a combined total of 14 castings of the rod using improved bait only, and despite only having only one combat build is an amazingly capable fighter. I honestly don’t know how she does it. Yes, I know, it doesn’t make sense, but this is FO76…..
Build: a~chan typically wears a floral dresses and lives a simple, modest lifestyle in post-apocalyptic Appalachia. Her Tiki Shack reflects this humility, with a simple one-room layout surrounded by verandahs on all sides. There is a separate small covered area beside for fishing and cooking, and water gardens at the front and rear. Access is via a meandering rock path and her onsen requires no steps to access, right at the back door. There are some small surprises, such as fish displayed directly on walls, axolotls crawling around the place here and there (you have to look for them, they can be sneaky) and a floating sign that is invisible from behind created using a horizontal de-merge (good luck finding a tutorial on that one) for perfect alignment of letters. The placement of items in and below water and in-ground used a pre-update technique that doesn’t require going underground - it’s wet down there!
My first build after the great relaxation, Ta_a~chan’s Tiki Shack is a peaceful and relaxing break from the harshness of post-apocalyptic Appalachia you will love visiting.
Location: Tranquil pond at the north-east of Skyline Valley.
Owner: Ta_a~chan
