Quick save.

Ah, I'm playing on PS4. There is a Quicksave option in the menu tho. But with so few games requiring quicksave these days(especially on console) I rarely remember to use it.

While trying to find out if there's a way to use the normal, actually-readable HUD while in power armour*, I came across this nice article picking even more holes in the game's awful interface:

*I didn't find one. If anyone knows of one, do share. I find the health, compass and especially rad levels to be almost impossible to read in the power armour HUD.

Whenever the GECK comes out I'm sure the first things people will mod are the HUDs and Pip-Boy interfaces. Personally what bothers me more about the Power Armor is the weird mouse acceleration that gets applied to the Y axis.
It's kind of funny that the PS4 menu would have a quicksave option. It's hardly quicksave if you have to bring up the damn menu to do it, is it?

The PC version has that option too.

Watched the Errant Signal video, good stuff as usual. Though I must say that most of the stuff he gripes about doesn't really bother me as I'm not a huge RPG fan anyway. But I would disagree with his notion that your character is average at everything by default. Of course you're character is weak at the stuff you don't put points into! I barely put anything into Charisma so I was constantly failing at talking people into doing things, and I felt like that weakness was one of the defining traits of my character.

Well it is the first item in the menu, so it's just 2 button presses instead of one. And it's considerably faster than using the regular Save option.

Did you scrap all of the objects that were in the settlement to begin with? I always do that anyway (which means never ever needing to get wood or steel from loot) and I'm pretty sure those objects count against the limit.

Also, objects have different weights in the limit - purely structural stuff is fairly cheap. Turrets and such are very-very expensive.
Noticed that when i rebuilt the castle walls (yay, for stacking concrete blocks with the stair block) - every turret consumed one pixel worth of the bar whereas the other crap hardly registered.
edit: have not reached build limit myself, but it is said that the console can help (mind your hardware).
Code:
// select the workshop
getav 348 - Gets the current number of triangles used by player.
getav 34A - Gets the current number of draw calls used by player.
setav 349 <value> - Set the maximum triangle budget for the settlement.
setav 34B <value> - Set the maximum draw budget for the settlement.

Having enough building (& repair) materials by scrapping all the trash within the new settlement worked fine for me at first, but then I started having to use those materials to repair and upgrade my power armor and my body armor (I get shot up a lot). Now it seems that I'm always suffering a shortage of steel and other basic materials, having used up most of the on-site steel (etc.) reserves at each of the settlements. It's a pain in the ass to have to go back through enemy-riddled towns & buildings just to try to scavenge what I need every time I have to either repair my armor or do repairs in one of the settlements. Unfortunately, those tin cans don't seem to regenerate like the enemies that guard the buildings you found them in. At least I don't think they do.
