For those that are going after the fusion generator (as I did) you may want to consider some things.
1) If you scrap any current generator(s) you WILL take a huge hit on the scrapped material VS the building of it. It also depends on the size of the generator being scrapped.
2) If you build the fusion generator your settlement WILL suffer in the happiness category.
3) The fusion does take a lot more space than the other generators.
 
I don't know if it is possible to have a melt down because it does show negative in the happiness category once built.

This will be modded when the mod community gets their hands on it. It's probably already been done.

 
Probably, but I have reservations regarding mods. I just don't want the hassles or issues that usually accompany them when patches are released.

Agreed. I learned the hard way when I had some mods installed for FO4. It was crash city all the time.

Instability, crashes, you name it, but in the end it's frustration and I don't want to go through your experiences. I have enough of that without going to look for it. LOL

I bet I went through more pain than you have trying to fix my crashes with Fallout 4.

Okay had to skip past a bunch of posts because you guys are farther into the story than I am, despite the length of time I've been playing this.  
 
One thing I will hand to Bethesda, they can make it difficult to stay on task.   Im constantly saying that I intend to pursue the story line, only to get side tracked by somehing else entirely.    This time it's more settlement building.  Or to be more specific it's building my workshop/storage building in Sanctuary.  
 
As for Dogmeat, he has his own personality.   Just watch him when your kicking around a bit, that's when it'll show up.  And despite his obvious limitations in combat, it is kind of nice to not have someone chattering on and on and on about the same old things over and over.
 
 
@Whiskers, Stalin and Zuhl
 
If you are curious about a mod or mods, let me know which one(s).  I'm currently running a total of 90 mods.  So chances are Im probably already using it and can tell you about stability.   Many of the mods Im running aren't affected by the updates and patches while others are.  Yes, if you get one of those mods it will require you to update the mod itself after the game is changed, but if you use a mod manager, it's not that big of a deal.  And it's only really the big mods that need updating.  Alot of your others are simply "set it and forget it" as they tend to affect things that patches don't need to fix.
 
I personally don't hesitate much when it comes to running mods in a game and I accept the risks and frustrations of doing so.   Personally, I think it takes mods to fix all the stupid crap that Bethesda did or didn't do to the game.   
 

I'm having this weird problem with Fallout 4. All the music is cutting of about 5-10 seconds, then the announcer comes on. It doesn't matter if its the minutemen radio, or Diamond City radio, they both do it. I have tried restarting the computer, but it still does it. I would hate to have to uninstall and reinstall to fix this issue. Maybe I need to check and validate the files on steam, who knows...

Minuteman Radio does that to me too. The announcer gives me updates about whether a settlement needs help or everything is quiet in The Commonwealth. Just like modern day radio stations that always pause for a message from 'Our Sponsor'. LOL

"All quiet, which is how we like it. Stay tuned for updates."

@ Dukman. do you happen to have the mod where you can create your own ammo?

I don't.   With my scrounger perk, I have ammo coming out of my ears.  
 
But I can test drive it if your interested.

A little update to a previous post regarding installed fusion generators. Number 2 in the above, previous post, I stated that you take a hit in the happiness rating of your settlement. I have since found this to be incorrect. I have a few settlements that did not change their happiness ratings after I installed the fusion generators. I also believe that when you are going down in the happiness ratings it would appear that sleeping there a few hours changes it to the positive side. I did this with a couple of settlements with a fusion generator installed and the happiness rating went positive. I am guessing here but I believe that having your charisma high (mine is maxed out) somehow plays a part. I also have all the (Emporium) stores in these settlements.
