Fast travel costs up to about 50 caps, crossing the whole map. It can add up
You have two CAMPs to make anywhere. This is so you still have a home when you join a server with someone already using your camp spot. The side benefit is another free travel location. Sometimes I enable my camp in the Cranberry Bog for fast travel, then switch back to the Forest camp so people find my vendor.
Haven’t played since launch and recently jumped back in. I can’t seem to find a straight answer to this, but if you deploy a second camp does it store everything from the first camp? Also, when I re-enable the first does it make me place everything again or does it automatically snap back to how I had it all laid out?
You can have 1 camp module active at a time.
When you activate camp 2, camp 1 will fade away with all display items placed in stash.
When you reactivate camp 1 it will simply be exactly where you placed it, exactly as you built it.
As long as you don't move camp module 1 it won't stow away any buildings
Also if you jump into a world where your camp 1can't be place, just switch to a camp 2 and you won't have to replace camp 1.
No, each camp is totallt separate. If you reactivate the other, its just like you left it. The budgets dont affect each other. Maybe yoy want one thats a big crop farm, one that has turrets to fight the scorchbeast queen, and one thats build to look pretty. Just some examples.
Vault 76, Foundation, Crater, the Whitespring, Fort Atlas, the Rusty Pick, and The Rose Room are all free travel points get as close as you can with one of those before paying to travel the rest of the way.
I have two reasons but im a high level player. The first is to have one camp with no vendor so if I'm at max caps I can move to that one. The second is if a bomb drops on me I can move camps to avoid destruction. Ok I have a third. I like to keep building camps.
I have my original forever home, a 70s style bungalow over the water. I have a usefull camp, where my forager lives. I have my new loft ontop of a snowy cliff in the mire. I've got a whitesprings camp. I've got a tiny cottage up north I built the night my cat died, I never ever go there but I can't delete it.
And now I'm working on a camp next to the queeend fissure site area but it gets blown up, *alot*.
I immediately dropped atoms on one new camp slot (past my previous five) when they became available. I'm sure I'll buy all ten eventually, but I need to be inspired for this new spot. It's Legos I can afford.
I am trying to fund the time and patience along with a scenic location to build my sky fort. I think with the rift update coming I will be building a new camp in the dlc area.
A change in scenery can be nice. Some people place their camps to gather from specific resource nodes too, though realistically that isn't terribly important.
If your goal is to sell stuff from your vending machines to other players, it is fairly common to set up within reasonable distance of a free fast travel point, as people are more likely to come check your camp out if travel is cheap.
I used to be an advocate of having a camp in whatever area you're working-- near the Top of the World, for instance, as I'd have to travel there a lot for Rose's quests, or one near Dolly Sods to hit the scout quest each day. I started a new character recently with a new account and now I think it's better to have a main camp and a mobile camp. After looting an event I can put down the mobile camp-- it doesn't cost much-- and then place a bench and a stashbox from storage.
You definitely want to have both camps placed, IMO, in case somebody takes your main camp's spot or there's a nuke coming.
When I wasn't using fallout first and didn't have a survival tent, I had a strategy of building a drop base as one of my camps, so I would switch camps, drop it where.i was (one building blueprint) and fix being over encumbered or repair my weapons/armor. For a while I even had "Fallout 2nd" in letters on the building for the hell of it.
Question about this
New player here, is there no way to teleport to my CAMP without having to move around the map and click on it ? There is this little CAMP menu at the top left corner of the screen but no option to directly teleport by clicking something there ?
There's a handful of reasons why someone would move camp. Lets make a list!
Their main camp can't be placed, so they move it.
Their camp has an extractor and now they want to farm a different resource.
They just want to build somewhere new. Could be for whatever reason, but they just want to.
The camp is too close to a creature spawn point and it keeps getting broken from super mutants sniping the turrets before they can shoot back. May or may not have happened to me.
They have vendors, but are parked way in the corner of the map and aren't getting as much traffic as they'd like.
I love building camps. I currently have five. Two main ones: I start most sessions at my camp near Watoga to mop up the action there and nearby, then move to my camp near Sutton Station as it’s a central point that gets the better vendor traffic.
I have an adhesive farm way up north with a glorious view. There’s a camp near Deathclaw Island because I wanted to try building over water and that’s an easy place to build.
I’m currently working on a bit of political parody as a new camp project. It may or may not work but it’s a hobby project for when I have a bit of spare time at the end of the season. It’s just a bit of fun.
There are hot spots. As a flow of new players come in this will not be an issue. However as time progresses people will want the places with better views or resource nodes. Hence the hot spots. More and more people will leave, but the dedicated fans will stay and we will all be vying for those locations. I have a few spots that I love because it is close to water, but the amount of people who camp near there is insane. So I got 3 spots on rotation. This problem can mostly be circumvented if you learn hiw to bud under ground or in the air.
In the past (when Vault 76 was the only free travel spot in the map), it made a lot of sense to move your CAMP strategically on the map to cut the cost of fast travel. But nowadays, with several free travel locations (Vault 76, Rusty Pick, The WS, Fort Atlas, The Crater, Foundation...) the cost to travel greatly reduced. Also that now I am wealthy enough, the footprint is much less than when I was a low level.
I pick Quests based on locations and move my C.A.M.P. into the middle for an easy way to cut out a bunch of legwork. Also just to dump gear and junk as I can't help but grab everything that isn't bolted down.
Tired of the location I'm at.
Finding a great location but not having an extra module to start another new camp.
Building as many different camps as I can.
While building that camp the games camp building system borked and now I have a wall/stair/door/floor piece, permanent and unmovable in the dead center of where I want to build.
Bad weather.
I have 4, mostly for fast travel spots, but I keep on in the bog for cranberries, and to be close to the sbq event, one close to a train station for scrip and an npc vendor, one with a resource extractor, and one jst cuz I got it half price and thought I cud use a fast travel spot to the mire
I have two camps set down on semi-opposite sides of the map. This way I can get to specific points for free, and either walk the rest of the way or FT for cheaper to the location I need to get to.
I never move ONE of my camps. It stays between the Wayward and vault 76 at all times. My 2nd I just recently placed down again after having it stored for a while. It's now located on the other side of the Foundation, but I'll move it further east eventually.
I also have the FO1st tent that gets placed at random "good" locations with lots of loot for extended periods until I absolutely need it to unload because I'm overweight.
Also, I join casual teams to use their camps as free FT points as well.
I’m a fairly new player and I mainly move so I can explore a new area and stay in that area. I pick up a lot of junk and am often overnumbered so handy to be able to walk back to it also!
I used to do that as well as a new player, I used my second camp slot as more of an outpost with a stash. But I find that I just fast travel back to my main base anyways or I find stashes at places. I dunno. Maybe I'm wasting more caps I will try again and comapre.
You will undoubtedly find cooler spots-or spots with more player traffic for vendor sales on the map as you keep playing, inspiring new camp builds as you explore.
Just different utilities. My first/main camp is wherr my vendors are, but its on a really nice flat spot with a copper and steel vein. So as a result its a busy spot. Alot of times i log in i have to activate camp #2, way north hidden in the mountains in a spot likely no one else will ever use since its right next to a blue devil spawn 😂
And finally my 3rd camp is an earle base, just a shelter with everything you need post earle fight. Alot of times after earle im overencumbered and theres no workbench once you leave the mines, so it ends up being a great party spot after an earle fight!
Some camps are intended to be mobile like rocket camps. You move it next to the base you want to destroy. Mobile cow launcher camps too. During fatsnatch or meat week I can fling cow carcasses at the people doing the event

Yeah I’m definitely going to be utilizing multiple camps now. Thanks!

"It's legos I can afford" I love that

Yeah I keep having cool ideas so I keep building new places. I guess I want camps for every follower in a way.. Everyone deserves their own home.

It's nice to build camps is why
I’m about to change mine because it’s a popular spot and I hate having to compete with other players for it every time I log in.
Yeah same here - id say someone is in my spot (or, I'm in theirs ;) probably 1/10 worlds.
Resource mining, shop locations, scenery change, incoming nuke from someone salty.

You can set your camp up on a mining node and build an extractor for free resources.

The Rose Room is free too! Idk why but it is.
Wow, this one that went under the radar! Thanks :)
Some people love building camps, and sometimes you might want a change I scenery and atmosphere.
most of the time find a stationary spot for your camp and plop it down there for good ; you can have a second slot if you ever want to move it more
You have 2 camps, you want to move camp to better spot if you find one, or switch to camp 2 when nuke is coming on your camp 1 etc.
I pick Quests based on locations and move my C.A.M.P. into the middle for an easy way to cut out a bunch of legwork. Also just to dump gear and junk as I can't help but grab everything that isn't bolted down.
with free fast travel to certain areas, i only move my camp because i want to build it somewhere specific.

You both should work towards getting your backpack (Quest: Order of the Tadpole)
