Some players are currently considering a way to play together even better in Fallout 76. They want to plan entire cities and already have some ideas on how that could be implemented.
On reddit, one of the biggest topics in the Fallout 76 subreddit is currently a post about a city system in Fallout 76. Players want to build settlements together with others. They have named the system “Teamwork Oriented Wasteland Neighborhood System,” abbreviated as “T.O.W.N.S.” (an acronym, spelled out for “cities”). In German, that would roughly translate to: “Team-oriented Wasteland Neighborhood System.”
Player Cities in Fallout 76 – Here’s How It Could Work
What are T.O.W.N.S.? The creator of the post already has a pretty clear idea of how these T.O.W.N.S. should function. There could be ruins from before the war that players could claim. In the description, it sounds similar to the workshops that already exist.
Various locations could thus become ruins that players can occupy and expand, with between 8 and 24 buildable plots. These plots could then be freely developed by the participating players. Building sites for community buildings could also be feasible.
However, it would be necessary for players to spawn back in their T.O.W.N. every time they re-enter the game. The current server sharding and also server hopping would no longer be possible.
What is the purpose of this? The goal of T.O.W.N.S. is for players to collaboratively build a settlement – which is essentially the goal of the inhabitants of Fallout 76 anyway. After all, they should rebuild America.
Through these settlements, some players could then play together permanently, explore the world, and create a place they have established themselves. The creator Fluxxen has even planned professions for role-playing such as mayor, trader, or judge.
T.O.W.N.S. would be another PvE content for players who want to explore the world and an addition to the PvE content that Bethesda has already planned for March.
This is how the community responds to the idea: Aside from some jabs at Bethesda for the lack of content, many players find this idea very appealing. Especially in connection with the upcoming player shops, the settlements seem like a great idea.
Various settlements would also encourage trade with other cities, build industries, and fill the world with life. Reddit users are continuously developing the idea further in the comments.
Whether something concrete develops from this idea remains to be seen. However, since Bethesda has been more active on reddit lately, it could happen that the developers notice this idea.
Would you live in such a settlement?
