Fallout 4 Vault-Tec Workshop DLC Review


Fallout 4 Vault-Tec DLC is a major update to settlement building, allowing you to build your own vault in a new underground location by completing a very short questline.
Vault 88 entrance.


You are required to first complete a short quest before having access to most objects and structures available. Unfortunately the structure pieces are very finicky and don't really snap to structures outside vault-tec theme. However many furniture objects received clean versions that can be used just fine anywhere.

Special mention to the Vault-Tec Population Management System, a great addition to anyone spending their time with settlements, making finding and assigning settlers fast and very easy. Unfortunately dweller experiments are limited to the quest line, so you are not really allowed to run experiments with your dwellers, despite the trailer making it very credible. Another downside is that the new Vault 88 area is considered an indoor location, therefore you can not build cages from Wasteland workshop.


Despite this limitations we believe this DLC is a good addition to anyone that enjoy building settlements. For an overview of the additions, check this showcase by FluffyNinjaLlama:


And this Developer Walkthrough of the DLC:

Important note: Whichever option you choose for the experiment prototypes during the quest is the ONLY choice you will have after the quest is complete. Console commands can change that, but because they all share the same global variables, each machine type will share the chosen option, does not matter how many of them you build.
