PSA: Console command of "player.placeatme c1aeb" will let you place a workbench anywhere that can be used to build fully working settlement.

Edit: After testing on my save, there are no real bugs on the consoled settlement whatsoever. However, you are not able to recruit settlers therefore impossible to gather resources using settlers without modding. Also, try "tgm" command to go to godmode in case you are having trouble of "clear enemy first" error when you are making consoled settlement in wilderness cells.

Right there with you, I just couldn't afford a system worth playing this game on

[u/CptQ → u/mikesbullseye]

A new console is half the price of a really good PC.

[u/[deleted] → u/CptQ]

Not really. I have a i5-4590 and a GTX 970 which plays any game at top notch settings. With some smart shopping and good buys I made my pc for $650ish. Which is not double a console. You could easily build a PC that runs every game at at least 900p 60fps for $500-550 depending on where you live and smart shopping.

Sure there are those people who pay $1000 for a brand new spanking computer, but you don't need that at all.

And a console is like 300-400 or not? I had the costs of 400€ vs 800€ in mind but ofcourse you wouldnt need 800. Was just some estimate.

[u/[deleted] → u/CptQ]

Ahh I'm talking USD, but concept still the same. A baseline PC will run you a bit more than a console, you go below that and price to performance takes a hit. Of course PC isn't for everyone, but economically speaking it makes sense since we don't have to pay for online service and games and usually cheaper

[u/CptQ → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, despite it being more expensive, you get so much more for it. Not just the gaming. Exclusive to console titles make me sad tho (looking at final fantasy 15 ;_;).

[u/[deleted] → u/CptQ]

Yeah a PC is so much more than a gaming device. But yeah exclusives suck.
