Many fans of Fallout 76 have enjoyed tinkering with their C.A.M.P.s and have exploited a bug here and there to build better. This bug is soon to become an intended feature by Bethesda.
Which bug is it? It’s about “floating foundations” when building C.A.M.P.s in Fallout 76. Players have already used bugs with foundations to stack them and build huge pyramids.
Additionally, the bug was very popular for circumventing some difficulties with relocating C.A.M.P.s. Often, an invalid ground was displayed because the foundations didn’t touch the ground. That’s why floating foundations were used.
How will this be implemented? In the latest “Inside the Vault” from April 18, 2019, Bethesda explains that foundations will no longer require ground contact in the future. Only the first foundation of the camp must be connected to the ground.
All foundations built onto this first foundation, however, will no longer need to touch the ground. This is intended to make it easier to move and reposition larger structures.
The change is expected to be available with the upcoming Patch 9, which will be implemented in May.
This improves the building system: With the new floating foundations, there are now officially building options that were previously only available through cumbersome bugs. For example, players can build houses on cliffs or create small islands in the air.
Also, particularly crazy C.A.M.P.s are now possible. The core idea, however, seems to be that fans of the building system can move their C.A.M.P.s more easily and can simply build more freely than before.
How are the fans reacting? The idea is well-received and is being discussed a lot by fans in the reddit thread on the new ‘Inside the Vault’. Most are looking forward to the feature:
Great change to C.A.M.P. No more need to build floating islands.

The discussion about the new feature even got its own thread on reddit, where fans exchanged ideas. Some are concerned that floating camps and houses on cliffs will become prevalent, but most players are excited and are already thinking about how to further improve this.
What do you think of the new change?
Fallout 76 even offers a new dungeon, which has not been well received so far:
