You can start a faction as it was so far - by buying 30k cave, spawned randomly in The Middle of Nowhere.
You can also gather 10k caps, go to construction foreworker (NCR, VC or SF) with two fellas, pick a name of faction (if you are buying a base for the first time) and get construction worker in fancy red shirt.

With construction worker in party we go to desired place, enter at empty encounter and tell worker we want to have a base constructed here. Then we get location named "Building Site":

and on progress board we have required amount of materials:

After gathering all of them we talk to construction worker again, he's asking about base name (not bond in any way to faction name, it's only for recognizing this base in terminal - Brand New Terminal services all faction bases from one spot), then on Building Site we get cool base we worked so hard for. Construction worker disappears, he has no use anymore.
Buying another bases with the same faction leader doesn't require having two dudes in party, you don't have to give a faction name again.
There are four types of base to pick:
- Depot - 1000 wood, 500 junk, 10 electronic parts
- Trapper Camp - 30 wood, 50 brahmin hides, 15 metal parts, 10 electronic parts
- Scrapheap - 2000 junk, 100 metal parts, 10 electronic parts
- Outpost - 500 wood, 1750 junk, 15 metal parts, 10 electronic parts
Our Orphanage bought all of them, all are working fine.
After buying a worker and after constructing a base we need to set Hideout clearance menu in terminal, according to our needs. Only by this our chars can see the place. Sometimes it's needed to reloging of them.

You should mention that name of the faction must be picked for the list.
There is a simple command to type it in game: ~freefactionnames - after that you will have the whole list appearing in your console.
A of course good job My Lady!
-
Nice guide!
I have been wondering about this though: if you buy another base, will it act as a secondary base or will it replace your first base (losing everything you have put there)?
-
Only leader can bought another construction site?
-
Yes. Only leader can buy another base. But he may bought it alone, so this is good.
-
About gathering resources you need to give that npc or what?
-
No, you just need to drop them on anywhere on the ground. After you read the board and there will be enought resources the leader will have to talk with construction worker and say that they can set a camp or smth like that as everything is on its place.
-
A doubt...the number of people following the leader has to be 2...Including also slaves/mercs or just -real- players?
-
2-3 of real players and they can't be a members of another faction either Player or NPC.

If you buy another base with faction leader, you get another construction worker, belonging to the same faction. We have 5 bases so far as Street Queens faction and one as The Orphanage, separated faction with separated leader.
-
When you ask the foreworker for a base, does he let you pick which base to build during the purchase or is the base type determined on what city you buy the base in?

In every city you can pick every four kind of base.

Can someone with CH 3 build a base? I mean to lead 2 people you will at least need a 5.
-
If only you'd put that on wiki, Wichura! But it's not too late 8)

That pattern (CH-1)/2 was right before wipe for slaves, mercs etc.
With CH 3 you can lead two players, but when you get construction worker, you're gonna need additional slot for him. We bought our bases with 10 CH leader, but it wasn't necessary.

I'm too lazy for that. Sticked topic won't be bad idea tho.
If you are not as lazy as me, feel free to use content of this thread to put it on Wiki.
-
Multiple sticky topics is not the way to go. Updated wiki articles is.
Simply c/p your posts, upload pics on wiki, and you're basically done! ;)
-
I cannot into updating Wiki. I don't have my account "confirmed", whatever that means.
-
How much PP does it take to lead the construction worker?
Thanks

Is it currently possible to DIY Base?
I'm trying to talk to VC contracter and he is telling me im alone,
I thought that it said you can be solo and construct base, so long as you are not in faction however friend and I can not seem to get this contracter to sine us up with a foremen. :/
-
You must have 2 people tagging you as you get it, and make sure they're close.
Also none of you can be in any faction as a member.
-
That dosent seem to do the trick. Thanks thou
-
Sometimes you have to try at other towns or use Mentats, VC never worked for me either.
-
Thanks for the help,
okay ill try another town. Is it possible to buy the construction worker with the caps and bring him the iteam mass later?
Does it require two people or is it possible some times with one mabey?
-
You only need caps to hire construction worker. Materials you bring to construction site (you it set up via dialog with construction worker in place you chose). You can buy base (hire construction worker) alone, all you need to do is to use fast relog to bring 2 more alts to place where you buy bases (VC worked fine for me). They have to tag character with caps that will do the talk with npc and can be offline during process (but they can't disappear so you got 3 min after first log off). After that you can travel alone with construction worker and leave those 2 alts behind.
-
dont forget you need at least 2 cha to lead construction worker on world map.
-
Well that worked, however, bring the stuff back, and started to lag, so i exit relog and now i can not see the base - _ -
bumber.
got stuff, cant see base, any tips .. ?
thanks for help and time.
( EDIT )
Okay, well it works.
*Well.
Exipt 2 people. Seem not to work, seem to need 3 people.
So the problem was something with the command controls on PC councel in tent, ( trapper tent ) to be specific,
also the traper tent has not official name it has other discription but is in order I beleave.
In next post - yes thas waay helpful.
-
When you first get a DIY base construction site, you set access to it so people can see it. That access gets reset, however, when the base is completed, so you have to set it again. I hope that helps.
