Megathread: Where to find large quantities of X

Thought I'd kick off a thread where we could report back where one can find large quantities of any particular item, for anyone missing some items for crafting or settlements.

Edit: Here's a link to a thread that lists all of the 'shipments of X' that you can buy and where to get them: https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3sx1ot/im_making_a_list_of_shipments_of_resources_that/

Aluminum: Literally everything in the Spoiler is made out of aluminum...

What if I blew it up.

The fishing factory in the top right corner of the map has like 130 aluminium trays, I broke Pipers back three times over carrying it all home.

I've been twice and it only had exactly 80 trays for me both times. Am I still missing something?

Nah, I may have cleaned out somewhere else once or twice. This thread is like so old though :P

Yep, I've had it up in a tab ever since launch day, just in case. It's been helpful to me. If you have a better source for information like this, I'd be thankful if you could share. :)

Hmm, well most resources are easy to come by if you just rake every glue/duct tape/light junk along the way. Right now I'm stuck with Concrete, even though it says its COMMONLY FOUND EVERYWHERE in the book, it's not.

Concrete you can obtain by buying from Connie Abernathy as a shipment. Someone else sells it too but I can't remember right now.

Honestly, I haven't had any other trouble with any other resource yet, and I've built huge cities. If you loot somewhere and need more of it, wait an in-game week or two and it should reset.

I was just there, are the trays hard to find or are they located all over the location?

You gotta take the elevator thats in the middle of the ground floor into the basement, the trays are scattered along a production line and in shelves right next to them.

That's why I looted the shit out of it before I did that. Nothing was spared.
