Just walk up to any workshop you find scattered around the wasteland. Press the 'Activate' button (which depends on your platform, so it's 'E' on PC, 'Square' on PS4, and 'X' on Xbox One), and boom, you're in build mode! Get ready to create your own post-apocalyptic paradise.

Hot tip: Don't forget you can only enter build mode in locations you've unlocked as settlements. So if you're mashing the button and nothing's happening, chances are, it's not your land yet. Time to do some more exploring or questing!

Just hit the build button, easy peasy. If you can't, probably means you're not in a settlement you own yet. Go claim some land, Vault Dweller!
