Diamond City HYPE! | Fallout 4 BLIND Playthrough 2025 | First Time Playing! | LizXP [10]

[@blackknightreturns1]

tip: put all your junk items in the workbench..no need to scrap them..they will scrap automatically as needed when u build.

[@fivenotewonder]

You’ll notice that auto scrapping from the workbench will not yield all the possible components an item of junk can give, so some stuff gets wasted here and there in the process. **APPARENTLY A BUG THAT WAS FIXED** For this reason I always stored all my junk into a designated container when returning to base and then when ready to scrap I would dump all the items onto the floor in a big pile in a clear open space and just scrap everything one by one as I highlight over it, which resulted in much more scrap. Then I put all the loose components into the work bench to be pulled from when crafting & building. But for sure your suggestion would save Liz some time with the auto scrapping for this playthrough.

[@Palerax]

Only reason to scrap anything individually is weapons to increase the settlement build limit.

[@pmpowalisz]

I like to know exactly what resources I have stored in each workbench so I take the extra time to scrap all the junk, weapon and clothing items. It ensures I never have to reach a build limit and it teaches me what each item gives when scraped.

[@ChthonianGames]

@@fivenotewonder This is an old bug that was fixed years ago. It's crazy that people still think this is a thing

[@fivenotewonder]

@@ChthonianGamesah right, I was originally playing in 2016 and then again recently with the ps5 update. Good to know it was actually a bug all this time. Dang bugthesda huh.

[@A_Retired_MSgt]

I watched the show before I played the game. After playing the game I have a whole new respect for the prop and set designers. They did an amazing job.

[@isaacpacheco90]

What a great episode liz!❤ to make to the big green jewel of the commonwealth and you should know the stores are open at 8am go to the dug out inn to the right to get room for ten caps also after you fully explored run the bases😊 trust me plus you need two outfits one for combat and one for charisma (hat, glasses, outfit) for your persuasion to work yellow (5-6 CHR) orange(7-8) red (9-10)

[@kagirion]

Awwe, bless. You can just connect a generator straight to the beacon, no need for the wire/post thing. ;) As many others seem to have said - transfer all junk to workbench at a workbench. Good Luck, Vaultie. :3 Oh and "green" base/furniture objects, ones you find and haven't built, can also be re-placed instead of scrapped. Replacing them usually puts then the right way up and makes them look...."nice".

[@NathanWeeks]

⚾ I love that Liz accidentally called the pipe sniper rifle a "Piper Rifle" both because it was minutes before she actually met Piper, and because I've been playing FO4 for 6 years and I still call them "Piper Rifles" all the time!

[@Jedi-Robbie]

Great video, liz. Baseball Finally we made it to diamond city. Took me a few hours my first playthrough, and I always got sidetracked with other quests and the sanctuary. I'm looking forward for u to explore diamond city.

[@Jefe_D._Jefes]

The likeness numbers that pop up when you choose a word while hacking terminals are the number of letters that are in the correct place not the number of letters that are correct. Example if you choose the word BOOK and it says likeness = 3 then you choose the word COOK and it says likeness = 3, the correct password would be a word that ends with OOK since both words have those letters in the same place.

[@skaphanatic5657]

Trying to boost this comment so Liz sees it. The likenesses only tell you correct letters in the correct spot, it gives no indication for correct letters in the wrong spots.

[@fcuk_x]

If you click brackets that open and close in a single line {..} (..) [..] you will remove duds or reset try count.

[@xHICKORYx]

Yeah, when ENACT said 0, that doesn't mean there's no E, but that the first letter isn't E.

[@MattBKC]

I wanted to say the same thing. Very well explained.

[@SheenaTigerspielt]

I had an even much more extensive explanation with examples in an earlier episode ^^

[@TheLassej]

So for wiring, the basic rules: 1: if it has a number next to the lightning symbol, thats how much power it takes, if it doesnt have a number, it just needs to be near power (usually see rule 2) 2: if it has a connector type thing on it, it needs to be wired up (for instance the posters), wires cannot go through walls unless there is a hole in the wall, that it can go through OR with the conduits which are squirrely at best.

[@davidterry9680]

I'm having so much fun watching. Only tip for this episode: the next time you level up, please consider the Idiot Savant perk. You will level up about 50% faster, so you can perk the other things you need faster. The earlier you take it, the more value you get from it.

[@LizXP]

Thank you so much David! I'll check out that perk the next time I play!

[@wawho9645]

Yay! Diamond City-it’s been too many years to remember but my first time I’m sure took about a gazillion hours 😂 A nice thing about the summer shorts is the 2 point boost to Charisma to help with the persuasion checks and prices from vendors. Plus can also have arm and leg armor equipped at same time, just not the chest piece. I didn’t do much of this on my 1st pIaythrough, but I really like the settlement building!! Not sure where I fall on the spectrum and also tmi… …but currently I’m playing on Survival (where there is no quick travel and can only save on sleep) and I have about 20 settlements with 15-20 settlers on each. Each settlement is linked to the others with trade routes so they all share inventories. I’ve have corn, tatos and mutfruit crops on all of them so I can use cook station to make starch (adhesive needed to mod weapons and armor). Also on each settlement have at least a trading stand, weapon emporium, food stand and first aid station (‘cause getting sick in survival mode is a thing). Also feed troughs for the Brahmin ‘cause they produce fertilizer that can be combined with plastic & water at the chemistry station to make jet, which, just like any reputable drug dealer, I sell for lots of caps 😄 All my settlements turn a profit so can collect caps from them periodically. Sure, I get that “settlement is under attack” pretty often, but the defense are high enough (machine gun, missile launchers and heavy laser turrets) and the settlers are armed well enough that usually the fights resolved in a few minutes, or even while I’m still running there. Whew! That was a lot! Now I’m laughing at myself 😄

[@JimAW63]

You don't need to scrap your junk, and don't sell it. It's all used for building, even the cigarettes and paper money. Use the "store all junk" button in the workshop. It has unlimited storage space. When you build, it will use the items from there. If you want to save pencils and pumpkins, build a shelf for them or store them in that trashcan until you figure out how you want to display them. If you're carrying them or keep them in the workbench, they might get used for parts. You did good getting to Diamond City as fast as you did. It takes time to get enough levels and experience. ⚾

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Pro tip: if you change the pip boy screen colors to white in game settings, your "flashlight" will show white light instead of green. This allows you to see much more in darkness.

[@bv331910]

But that just isn't fallout enough.

[@michelphilippe193]

@@MikkoRantalainen i do that every time I play. The green does nothing.

[@RedShirtGuy96]

i do this as a requirement with map mods that give color satellite style maps. and it also changes the terminal text color as well. I like it honestly. I still keep the main HP/AP stuff green though. but for me having random office or military terminals be white text on black screen doesn't feel out of place

[@EulersIdentityCrisis]

Liz is unintentionally playing a no armor run 😅

[@silverfreed9470]

20:41 She even scrap the armor😅

[@stevewesley3841]

I looked at the last streams comments and a few of us told her, so I assume that she doesn't understand what we mean... Liz, if you don't wear your vault suit with armour on body, arms, legs and head you will die a lot....

[@EulersIdentityCrisis]

@@stevewesley3841 yeah, I'm gonna let her know when she goes live today. She might have already corrected it though since these episodes are technically "old."

[@sammymartin7891]

Because she only wants to wear things you can't wear armor over.

[@davidterry9680]

Eventually she will find some armored clothing to wear, hopefully in a style that she likes. Good thing it isn't Iron Man.

[@maddiethomas5892]

Hi Miss Liz. I'm loving your play through. Thanks! I've been low key stressin' because your not wearing armor. It turns out, you know about armor and choose not to wear it... for astatics? I'm the opposite. I wear the tougher armor and i don't care what my character looks like... probably because i put so much effort into my fit for school and stuff? Idk. 😂. I guess i like not having to worry about my appearance because my friends will never see "me". 😊

[@haraldschuster3067]

Pro Tip: Many clothes have a bonus, like +x to Charisma, etc. You cannot se this bonus without picking the item up and looking at it in your inventory. So it is a good idea, to pick up unknown clothing items, check them in inventory, and only discard them after checking. Many of us play dress up before speech checks or before a vendor session.

[@timross4377]

First of all, I love your videos and this series especially! It's like re-learning the game along with you 👍 With wiring up lights and things inside your shack, someone may have already mentioned this and I could be wrong but I think if you slap a conduit or connector piece right on to the back wall of the shack and connect it to the generator it should power up your ceiling fan without directly connecting a wire to it.....I think! Don't quote me on this 😋

[@michaelrespicio5683]

Saw the video late, at least it's never clickbait. I'm the modern Shakespeare, to liven up the atmosphere. Secret word is baseball, that really was a good call. Found another lunchbox, but not another pin for locks. Shoot up all the baddies, savor slow-mo kills like Krabby Patties. Love that Boston accent, their armor has no dent. Onto the next episode, we'll see what's down the road! *beat continues as screen fades to black*

[@DanielSmith-DannieD]

Fun episode! Welcome to the "baseball" place, Diamond City. Tip: For setting up electrical in any settlement, to get power inside your shack, there is a pass-through connector that goes through a wall with attach points on either side. Wires won't go through any wall on their own. Hook up power to the outside connector and then connect wires from the inside connector to items inside that require power, like your lighted posters and ceiling fan. The light is working only because it is within the power radius of the generator (which is very small).

[@capstan50g]

There's a transfer button when you approach the Workshop workbench. Use that to transfer all of your junk to the Workshop. You can also store guns etc in there, but they may be broken down for scrap by the workbench. I think if you're at another settlement and want the raw materials at Sanctuary Hills, for example, then you could drop and scrap them to carry them back to another settlement without being encumbered.

[@polaide8036]

Hi Liz. Great to see another Fallout 4 video. Water purifiers can be placed in the river in Sanctuary.

​@@LizXPif you have the Automatron DLC, once you finish that questline you'll be able to build your own robots, and no joke, that's my favorite thing to do in this game now. My favorite robot is a red Mr. Handy with legs who I named Jellybones.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@adamrodger5351 I think completing Automatron DLC too early allows you do create too good a companion. I created a robot that can fly on booster so it's fast, had lots of storage space, great armor and used sniper rifle in one hand and gatling gun in another to take down enemies from distance. It makes no sense to have any other companion if you want help from your companion. Nick does have some special features if you play the Far Harbor DLC with him, though.

He's only permanent until/unless you reprogram him with the terminal Liz failed, then he leaves and is never seen again.

Baseball is the secret word. It is more than easy to get sidetracked this game is huge. Figuring out how to build well takes more than a while as well. Its also more than tempting to start giving you pointers but its far better on the first playthrough to stumble into things on your own. It looks like your finding that everything you can pick up or loot has a use.

[@carlosrodriguez4229]

That Spray N' Pray gun that Cricket sells is hands down one of the most overpowered weapons in the game. Just be careful if you fire it indoors because the explosions can very easily kill you.

@ its not that bad if you upgrade it . yeah the ammo its a bit expensive but if you have a lot of money thats not a prob. and thats the true weapon for the sole survivvor cause you were frozen. besides in fo4 the guns are UGLY as hell so. Its saved me a lot of times on survival difficulty.

[@TexasGolfer]

When you find a Bolwer hat, put it on Cogsworth. It matches his personality. Since you are in Diamond city you can probably get one there at the clothing store. 56:20 - Good pipe gun, if you take that back to Sanctuary and drop it on the ground, then disposed of it you will get good materials.

[@timthomsonart]

As you got in to the Supermutant fight, that first death was a mine you stepped on rather than a grenade - as said before it's handy to do a quick VATs check of an area as it'll pick up mines as well as enemies - also good if you're struggling to see where enemies are hiding, VATs first to see whereabouts before going for an aim if you don't want to rely on the VATs to hit... So enjoyable seeing you play and learn as you go, we've all been there - it's a steep curve to begin with though! Funny how like most players you're so pissed about losing Shawn at the beginning but then there are so many distractions along the way, that whole main mission becomes secondary! :D

[@timthomsonart]

PS it makes me so nervous you walking around with your gun out, especially in places like Diamond City - I've had many a problem when my finger's slipped and my gun's accidentally gone off! :D

To clean up your inventory: Magazines give their bonus on pick up. No need to keep them in your inventory. You can build a nice magazine rack (either shelves or misc) which will arrange and display them nicely when you store the magazines in them. There is also a stand for the bobbleheads.

[@louiswillhauck5572]

Check under the “Cages” on your workbench. There you can “trap” pets for the settlement (you can’t actually take them out with you but they will remain at the settlement and some will actually help defend the settlement also)

[@alanperreault5929]

What you can sell stuff for, and what stuff costs for you to buy, is a function of your charisma. So if for example you put on a Clean Black Suit before talking to the vendor, the suit gives you 2 points of charisma, which makes stuff you buy cheaper.

[@daveruble5150]

Likeness means correct letter AND position. So if SALE gives likeness 1, the answer could be SOOT, BARK, FOLD, or LINE, for example. The only hard part is remembering which positions DIDN'T count so you know to avoid those letters/positions. When You scrap a container, The contents (if present) are transferred. otherwise you'll just get the steel, wood or plastic from which the container is made. Bottlecap mines are the most powerful early explosive. Usually, I drop them when I'm being chased by powerful enemies. then collect the caps while I loot their corpse. All my best. ⚾

[@beamo1220]

VATS is really good for identifying where exactly enemies are when it's low light. Also, the numbers that are listed are the percentage of likelihood that you will hit the shot.

Put junk in the workshop, it scraps automatically. Drop stuff like weapons and clothes, that you don’t need or won’t sell, and scrap that.

[@lox1ey176]

You may have figured this our already but you don’t have to drop stuff on the ground to scrap it. If you go to the workbench there is a ‘store all junk’ button. The workbench automatically breaks stuff down into scrap when you build something. Also, as an electrical guy, watching you figuring out the lighting was really fun.

[@LizXP]

I saw someone mention the drop and junk method so I wanted to try it but I'll definitely just put all junk into my workbench from now on. Less work! :P And glad you enjoyed the lighting part! Appreciate you!!

[@patrickmaddy4611]

@@LizXP My first playthrough I just did the drop and junk method. It was sooo tedious. I didn't realize until much later that I could just store it, and it would break it down automatically lol... Also, when it comes to junk, you probably want to just store it. Sell gear that you don't use instead. Like Skyrim, vendors have limited caps and junk is better used to mod gear and build things.

[@NathanWeeks]

@@LizXP You can also scrap weapons and armor either with the drop method or at a weapons or armor workbench if one is available. Weapons and armor don't scrap themselves when stored. "Legendary" items cannot be scrapped, however, and should be sold if you don't intend to use them.

[@vexedrelic1460]

​@@LizXPIts a bug/exploit so you can build more. In top right corner there is a size bar for how much you can place/build, but when you drop and scrap it reduces the size bar. Many use it, although easier to install a mod for unlimited building.

[@ChthonianGames]

@@LizXP When Fallout 4 first came out there was a bug that would cause you to lose materials when building but that was fixed long ago. The only reason you would want to drop and scrap is to cheese the "build limit" the game has for each settlement but if you do that, you can make the game run worse since that limit is there for a reason

[@alvinhelms]

TIP: When hacking, the 'Likeness' is the number of correct letters in the correct position. So if the password was 'TEAR', then 'RATE' would be Likeness 0, even though all the letters were the same, because none of them are in the right positions. But 'MEAT' would be Likeness 2, and 'TEAM' would be Likeness 3.

[@suntiger745]

Good explanation. It's both correct letter and position that is marked.

[@LizXP]

I finally found that out recently! So now I hope to figure them out easier! I wasn't thinking about the letter position!

[@revenger681]

Just wait until liz realizes she never scrapped all those wooden structures in her first episode and has over a dozen stored in the workshop... lol. There's "storing" build objects, and then there's "scrapping" them, which returns the materials you spent building them back to you. "Contents returned to workshop, doesn't it always?": you scrapped an object that has loot in it. If you don't grab the loot in a container and instead scrap it, you won't lose whatever was inside the object, instead, whatever goodies were inside it will be waiting for you in the workbench.

[@KyleNordstrom]

Just be warned that may not work for locked containers, I believe that changed it so if you scrap something that's locked, you lose the items unless you unlock it first. Originally you could just scrap the safe at the drive in to get all the goodies, but now you have to unlock it first.

[@mathildaxx_mathilda_xx5897]

Dropping on the ground and scrapping will let you build more when you have reached building limit. Every 1 item you drop and scrap will be 1 item you can build. The work bench will automatically scrap items just store all junk in workbenches. The more water and food you produce than the settlement needs will be stored in work bench you can collect from workbench and sell or use as needed. Sell water and buy shipments of supplies you need to build from the stores.

[@brkooduh66]

Ever since I found Liz, my own fallout playthrough got more fun.

[@LizXP]

[@haraldschuster3067]

18:00 Electric power is radiated in Fallout 4. Many items like lamps, the ceiling ventilator, etc. only have to be in an emission field to work. You usually put the connectors (!) on the outside or on the roof and connect those to your power supply. If the items aren't working, move items or connectors, because the emission field has a limited radius. The lighted signs in your shack need a direct connection. There is a "pass through wall" connector that allows to attach things inside and connection to the power-source from outside. Highly recommend you experiment a bit with all the connectors to get an idea what the game offers and how to use it.

[@lordkalistos4124]

Liz theres a trick you can do. Grab your junk then drop it. Then in building mode scrape qnd store it at the same time. You will get double the resources. It tajes some practice but in an hour you can have 20,000 of all of your buildung resources.

[@CoachMacdaddy]

20:52 for that question i'll just store junk normally and put any junk I wanna save in a different storage box. But for weapons or armor I picked up for scrap purposes, then ill drop them and do what you were doing

[@lollito84]

About the settlements : build them little by little, step by step, as you 'll be asked to go there and there regulary during the game. Each time i visit one settlement i build a little more, in the end it's very satisfying. To connect them with supply lines, take one resident and send him to the next settlement on the map, and do that over and over. Don't connect all settlements to the same one big "capital center" as it will create big traffic around that center. Food+water+residents+charisma = defense total to deploy, something like that.

[@MrCaryse]

55:37 my favorite vendor in the game...

[@kevinbell4658]

Pay attention to the clothes you are wearing when interacting with vendors. Wear stuff that boosts you Charisma. Also, Grape Mentats (which you can craft) boost your Charisma +5. The higher your Charisma, the better your prices buying and selling will be.

[@thumper4137]

be on the lookout for good guns and armor to give to your settlers, this will enable them off attacks on the settlement. and remember, a settler only needs one bullet for whatever gun you give them, they pretty much have an infinite ammo thing going on. and, they can throw grenades, also. (also infinitely)

[@williamburroughs9686]

1:00 You wonder what's that bucket is for? Its a chamber pot. 20:30 Yeah you can do it like that if you want to do extra work. But if you want an easy way. Then simply put it into the settlement storage. Just hit the store all junk. This will hold and recycle junk as you use it to build stuff. Latter you will learn how to connect settlements. So you can use all the junk you stored. It really helps with building and upgrading.

You don't favorite explosives, you select them in your inventory. They're a secondary weapon, so they stay selected no matter what primary weapon you're using.

Yes if you just use one explosive it's not needed to favorite it, but if you have different ones you might do that to quickly choose the one you need. But sure, it's a noob thing to favorite an explosive, when you don't need to.

[@walterbison]

Forget trying to cripple ghouls by shooting them in the legs. They're squishy enemies that you'll kill sooner than cripple. The only time you might do that is with high level ghouls which you aren't close to fighting yet.

[@Palerax]

To get better prices & passing speech skill checks you might want to carry a Charisma set on you for talking & bartering. Some hats, clothes & glasses have charisma on them & they're nice & light. For instance hose Summer Shorts you have are +2 Charisma. Beer can give you another +1.

[@jedinova67]

Check out the "lone wanderer" perk. It works even if you have dogmeat as a companion, but it will only work with hin. Food for thought.

You missed that Cricket sells fusion cores for you power armor, but you can't afford that right now anyway. Cricket has her rout she goes on, just like Carla, so she wont be at that spot all the time.

[@HenkeEdge]

To get electricity to a builing, you should place one of thoose "conduits" or what they are called (looks like a nipple) on the outer wall and most stuff will work in the house. If things need a wire indoor just put one of that same conduit on the innerwall and wire it from that.

[@Cheepchipsable]

When you use VATS, you use Attack Points. Generally the more powerful the weapon the more AP points it needs, so for example, a sniper rifle might only get 2 shots to a pistols 5. When you hold your breath to aim with the sniper it uses AP as well. Also bare handed combat is treated differently to melee, (with a hand held weapon), so keep that in mind with perk bonuses.

[@MattBKC]

Something no one has mentioned that you may have figured out already is that you can also go up and down in the perk chart. As long as you have that many points in that ability, then you can go that many levels down on the perk chart. Any perks you can use have a highlighted animation and ones you don't have the ability for are greyed out.

Can scrap all the stuff in your settlement like the broken beds in the way. Don't need to scrap junk just store it. It will pull it when you use it buy auto scrap. Only scrap weapons and armor you don't want to increase base size and get the stuff you want from it. And link you settlement with supply lines so that you can build there to

⚾ Another fantastic video Liz, truly a joy to see you experience such a wonderful world.

[@LizXP]

Thank you so much! You rock!

[@ggsweet_wpx7340]

Liz, for better deals with traders upgrade cap collector perk. congrats on reaching Diamond city

[@JeffRatliffhome]

I take a lot longer to get to Diamond City. There are a few sidetracks I like to do first. Oh, and you don't need to sell stuff. Use it as raw materials. It's the post-apocalypse.

For a larger diet with vegan options try mods. Though since the update mods are not so reliable. As for pets like radroaches that is what cages are for. However you cannot have everything in one settlement. I tried that and when I opened all the cages at the same time the Deathclaw, Yao Gui, And Mirelurk tried to eat each other. The deathclaw won. The beta wave inducer only stops them from eating anything already there. Anything that comes in at the same time or after doe not seem to be protected. Mining helmets are how I light my settlements. I always upgrade the light and then equip it on a settler. I do occasionally put up streetlights and spotlights. You cannot have too much light? I scrapped everything in my first four hours back in 2015 to build beds and defenses etc. It depends on your needs.

I'm only 12 mins in (hopefully down the video you figured it out): the pylon is only used to extend power lines from place to place. You can attach a wire from the generator directly to the recruiting beacon (read the bottom of your screen - it has all the answers). If the wire being attached is highlighted in red, it's too far or something is in the way. Green is good to go. When there's an item with just a lightning bolt, it means if you place that item near a pylon (a few feet), it will turn on automatically. If an item has a number next to the lightning bolt, that's how much power is needed. The list of generators in workshop mode will give you the amount of power it can produce.

1:05:28 Welcome to Fenway Park. I usually either rush to Diamond City for [Redacted] or i take forever to get here because there is so much other stuff i want to do first.

[@MrCaryse]

36:29 well technically you would place them down in front of enemies and let them step on them and blow up, then loot the cap. But that works too.

It was a baseball diamond all along!

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

It took me a few irl days to find diamond city. I wandered around it quite a lot without finding the entrance before I came across it.

[@Insorteduplo]

Aaaahhhh you arrived in Diamond City and you end the video!? CRUEL cliffhanger! xD

[@scarletkinkajou1]

I just started playing and decided to go as a lone wanderer, doing the missions but not helping with the settlers. It’s rough going but fun. Limiting my watching now to try and avoid too many spoilers. One thing I do I learned from the previous games is when I go into and area just tap VATS and it helps getting surprised

[@AtomicEy]

Fixing to do a Fallout 4 third playthrough, couldn't resist. This time negative vibes Marcy getting banished😅

[@janbow7544]

⚾ Diamond City, the jewel of the Commonwealth. Have fun and maybe take in a baseball game while you're there. I can't quite remember when I finally made it there since I get distracted by everything to do on the way, but it was probably close to 100 hours.

[@LizXP]

Haha love that it took you that long to make it to Diamond City! So fun! I'm so excited to explore more!

[@scottarizzleakanightcoreri2]

Lizz is beasting the game with no armor 😂😎

[@Southern_Trendkill]

Diamond City! One of my favorite areas in the series

[@larslauritzen5318]

If you are precise enough you can use the holes in the roof for the wire

[@sumosalamander7868]

It took me about 50 hours my first playthrough to make it to Diamond City to play some baseball. I went off exploring and got distracted by all the side content.

[@lewisner]

I'm looking forward to you visiting Sunshine Tidings in 3 days time and finding 20 Settlers there 😅

[@Cybernatural]

"That's what you're supposed to do, right?" That is not what you're supposed to do.

[@mckenziemurrell862]

the hacker things only get more difficult when you keep going thru if you dont get the hang of it now when you end up finding nick valentine you should keep him as your companion to do them for you. when building your settle ments youu can add the wire from the genorator directly to any item without the wood pylon that is to make it longer reach as its a connector. they have connectors you can add to the side of your house outside which should power items in your house. if you have a bigger build you need connectors going arounf the house on the outside to the other side of the room, when scraping you can just store all your junk in the workshop bench and it takes everything individually. if you need materials you can mark them in workshop do a mission and come back pop all your junk in workshop and build again after mission you find enough stuff to scrap without having to scrap it from the floor when dropping it. i just recently started playing on ps5 so i dont have some other builds you have but all the same otherwise. on top of the workbench house i built like a watch tower type thing with the guard towers too. and made power to all the houses to have everyone have their own places. you can assign the people in your settlements when in the workshop mode. asign them to food and shop and guard posts. building was a big part in my gameplay but needing more money to have wood and steel also was something i set up a bunch of water purifiers and if you eat some grape menetats when you sell to merchants they give you better prices. dont sell any of the books youve picked up the perks will go away there is a magazine and bobblehead display for your home base. save the money its used as cloth for beds. keep getting the fans it is springs and gear for building defense.

[@ThBeatnik]

If you feel like diving down a rabbit hole, KZbin has a lot of videos where folks show off what they've built in their settlements. Some use mods, others don't, but all of them can give you ideas and inspiration for your own building.
