Struggling with size cap though I think.
There is a workaround for that, which appears to work on all platforms.When the size cap is reached/almost reached, go to the workbench and store a load of your weapons in there (I find using my 9 primary weapons the easiest as they all have a '-' at the start of their name so they are always the first 9 items in my inventory). Then take the weapons back into to your inventory.
Turn around, go into your Pip Boy and drop those weapons onto the ground. Now pick each of them back up, and with each weapon you pick back up a small amount of your 'size cap' bar will reduce.
Obviously this can be repeated as much as you wish, as far as I'm aware (I did it around 10 times at the castle to get enough 'size cap' space to build everything...
How are people finding the resources and quite frankly the time to build up their settlements. I've built essentials resources at a couple of my settlements and put up 3-4 turrets at each and keep running out of materials, that's despite scrapping anything in site. No way would I be able to build some of these fully enclosed megaforts I'm seeing. Also getting stuff to line up properly without gaps is a right pain, especially on uneven ground.
On the plus side I got a good few hours on this last night and managed to get to level 15 and do quite a few quests. Still not made it to Diamond City though. My go to weapons are a modded Sniper Rifle and the Righteous Authority laser rifle as I seem to have tonnes of ammo for it. I still think I need to find a decent short range weapon like a shotgun. Picked up a Combat shotgun so may try modding that. Those mirelurks are a right pain if you aren't packing something with decent close range punch!

I'm swimming in caps - currently sitting on around 10k - so I tend to buy a lot of my materials. Diamond City has several vendors (More / Arturo / Myrna) who can sell you some of your regular mats quite cheaply, like steel, wood, cloth and leather, as well as more choice items like adhesive, springs, screws and aluminium, though the latter tend to be much more expensive.
My camp got attacked last night just as I fast travelled in.
Team bullet saw them off but it was funny going round and talking (got an extra caps reward) especially one I'd put on guard duty who was whooping and cheering "we beat them"
I then trundled off on one of Prestons go see these settles quests. Was just about on top of the place and got attacked by some dragonfly type things. next thing I know I've got people shooting at me "caravan guards" apparently. So I finish them off and I get attacked again, except it's by the settlers this time but I don't realise this until I've killed them all.
oops.
It really is a game where you are making your own stories.

I bought a shipment of screws and it said something about going to a workbench to redeem them or something. Only I couldn't work out how that worked and now I can't find it any more and I think I lost that money. Oh well. Guvernator said:

Shared resources between settlements, command a settler to be a supply line.Are you collecting junk from the wasteland and other locations, aluminium cans, wooden things, other metal things, destroyed turrets etc... These are automatically broken down when needed if you transfer them to the workbench.
Junk walls will never line up perfectly but as long as nothing can get through the gap, or if you mean snapped together building walls you need to level the ground using the concrete foundation floor that can be raised up an amount.

I know it's kind of cheating but if you just want to base build with unlimited resource (and if you're on consoles, if you're on PC then there are better MODs for the job) then the duplicating glitch (via Dogmeat) works on any item, including shipments of x materialAre you collecting junk from the wasteland and other locations, aluminium cans, wooden things, other metal things, destroyed turrets etc...

Has anyone been to the Polymer Labs and done the little experiment?
Found that really enjoyable (though it took me a while to handle the glowing one in there!).
You get accosted on the way in by a robot and if you talk to it you can end up being "employed" as a lab technician. You get sent into the lab via the airlock and from that point you are trapped. You can escape either by hacking doors and terminals (need expert) or you can read about Erika's PhD thesis, root around the place for chemical samples and perform her experiment. The successful conclusion of which nets you a special piece of Power Armour and exit from the lab.
The former takes hacking skills and will turn on a lot of turrets and security robots so the latter is a better bet. You just have to read to make sure you use the right samples.
Its pretty funny at the end as once you complete the experiment you are taken to see the boss (who is now a skeleton) to break the good news. You are then unceremoniously laid off due to cut backs and handed $25 in pre-war money as redundancy money!.
Can I just ask as well.... when you transfer things to a workstation or tool bench, do those things only stay there or are they available in all other work stations?

it's possible to break out without the need of hacking, by crawling around in the roof. I broke out that way and then also carried out the experiment for both rewards. You kill Molly though so I never got the redundancy moneyFound that really enjoyable (though it took me a while to handle the glowing one in there!).

If you set up supply lines (requires local leader rank 2) you can share supplies between settlements.
It's important to remember that items from other settlements won't be visible in the transfer window, but can be used to build with.
I think you just need to link all the settlements up, not have each one connected individually.

Here's my collection of power armour frames
Two of them were stolen. Couldn't manage to collect full T-51 set though.
As for the game - I finished it and I'm finished with it until all DLC's are out and they remove all the bugs. Couldn't stand new dialogs and all that Sims stuff. And many more things. F2 and NV were way better.
