Changelog 1. 1:
- Added a new Base Building workbench that you can craft on a regular workbench
- All blueprints are now craftable from the Base Building workbench instead of the regular workbench to avoid cluttering the regular workbench
- Added a Base Building Sledgehammer craftable on a regular workbench. You can use the Sledgehammer to delete constructed objects instead of having to use console commands. On hitting an item with the Sledgehammer a message pops up, asking you whether you are sure about deleting the item.
- Fixed the terminal issue where the Player terminal appeared "OFF" even though the generator was running.
- Improved some of the lighting by increasing the light radius and changing the colors.
- On first launching the mod a note will now be added in your inventory with some basic information about the mod including the controls.
This mod is inspired by one of the most anticipated features of Fallout 4, base building. This mods lets you build your own house/base using different items that you can craft at the workbench using mostly scrap metal. You can rotate and move the object close/further before placing it. Some objects like lights, turrets, terminals,... require electricity to function.
You can place utility objects like generator to generate electricity for a certain area or even place a fast travel beacon to place a fast travel marker on your own base.
The campfire also lets you craft some plants that you can then place in your garden if you build one. The selection of furniture and decorations might seem limited at the moment but more and more items will be added in future updates since adding new items only requires minor modifications to the current scripts.
Please report any bugs and glitches you run into and don't forget to write in the comments any objects you'd like me to add to the mod. Send over screenshots of your creations!

- Press E to place the object when satisfied
