So I've been playing as a raider who set up in the Red Rocket near sanctuary. At level 16, went out to hunt for resources. Upon returning I found there was no power. It wasn't just one generator that was down... it was both. Went to repair them and found I was suddenly missing hundreds of steel, copper, ceramic, no telling what else. I loaded a save game just before I left to go hunting, and all those resources were there. Settlement bug, or did my raider get raided? O.o

I am aware of the scrapper perk and shipments but I find it quite unbelievable that only certain types of electronic components give copper when they are scrapped. Last I checked ALL electrical gadgets have copper in them not just light bulbs, hot plates and circuit boards. Even in the Fallout universe where fusion has been harnessed you would still need copper to transmit power through every single mechanism. In reality cars would give a good amount of copper, houses would give A LOT of copper, radios, TV's, watches and all lights and light posts would give copper -even without bulbs, and when you scrap a conduit or some other item that requires copper to build, it only makes sense that you would get that copper back -but you don't. The things that do give you resources back short you for some strange reason. Bethesda put up a good effort hell they did an awesome job but I sense not many of the devs ever worked in construction, or took things apart for fun, if they had they would have realized copper is friggen everywhere. So it falls to the modders to pick up the slack, we need a more logical copper scrapping mechanic. On a side note it would be awesome if you could scrap resources from static objects, I keep coming across huge computer panels and static terminals in vaults and prewar ruins, and I always think "if only there were a prompt to scrap resources from this static object"

Hi everyone, I am encountering something strange with smithing locks: when I go to create a lock it tells me that the lock needs 1 iron and 1 copper ingot. I actually found a copper ingot on a merchant and I thought i was golden but I still wasn't able to create it. I even found copper ore deposits in the hills south of Dragon Bridge! But...when I look in my inventory I only see corundum ore and ingots which the game is really supposed to use. Something is mixed up! I use Crafting Overhaul and I'm wondering if this is causing a problem...anyone else experience this? Thanks!

Hello FO4 modders, I was wondering if it would be possible to make a mod that abolishes the maximum lenght of a copper wire when attaching it from one thing to another. Would make the building of our sactuaries a little bit easier! :blush: Thanks in advance!
