Fallout 76 features generators that can be used in CAMPs, and they can be used to power a wide variety of devices from lights to vendor stations. However, to power these devices, you need a wire connection between them, and these wires can’t be strung through walls or other obstacles. However, there are a couple methods that can be used to allow your wires to clip through walls, avoiding cluttered connectors that look ugly and take up CAMP space.
Method 1: Doorway
The first method is useful in specific circumstances, but when it is finished it leaves no trace behind. Let’s say you want to attach a wire from an outside connector to an inside connector, like below.
If you want to wire the outside connector to the inside connector, you can edit the wall in the middle so it is a doorway. This can be accomplished with the “replace” tool. Then you can attach the wire through the empty doorway.
From there, you can turn the doorway back into a normal wall, and the wire will remain.
This method is ideal if you can make it work, since it appears that the wire goes cleanly through the wall. However, the other method offers flexibility in situations where the doorway method may not work.
Method 2: Welcome Mat
The doorway method requires that the wire be able to pass through a doorway. Unfortunately, this means that it doesn’t work if you are trying to pass the wire through something that can’t be replaced with a doorway (like a fence) or if the two connectors don’t line up with the center of a wall panel, it doesn’t work. This second method is useful in these cases.
First, let’s go back to the beginning. You have two power connectors on either side of an obstacle. Your first step is to build a welcome mat near the first power connector, then build an upward-facing power connector on top of it.
Then, connect the wire between the first power connector and your welcome mat connector. After that, you can pick up the welcome mat to move the whole thing. Make sure you move the welcome mat just slightly to the side before moving it to where you want it to go.
If you move it behind an obstacle right away, the wire may break. If you move it slightly first, though, you should be able to then move it anywhere you want, including behind walls and other objects.
The downside to this method is that you then have a welcome mat wherever you want the wire to go. However, the mat is easy to hide under and behind objects, and it allows for a lot more wire placements than the doorway method.
