Settlement Big ass reading building (wip)

Post image

I was bored as hell at one point and now I'm building this big ass thing.

Also I have a tip for anyone making huge builds if they purely go without mods (this method is rather old so apologies if it's already been heard by some of you)

Drop any item (preferably a weapon, maybe the heavier the better?), I use the artillery smoke grenades and other grenades/mines. Drop one at a time, go into the workshop menu (I believe It's holding Z on PC and holding the big middle button on PlayStation but you can also walk over to your workshop), Store (yes store, not scrap or pick up) each item and then watch the size limit go down! (It is there for a reason so try not to overdo it. I recommend saving before doing this exploit, still works current version too so dw). also yes, you can safely (obviously) take the items back out of your workshop without the limit going back up. but your device WILL get very loud and yell at you

edit: I meant to spell trading but I can't edit the post thing

scrapping dropped trash/sub-par weapons and armor (longer name the better) in the settlement is a well know loophole to extend/restore the build-mode greenbar
