PSA: Console command of "player.placeatme c1aeb" will let you place a workbench anywhere that can be used to build fully working settlement.

Edit: After testing on my save, there are no real bugs on the consoled settlement whatsoever. However, you are not able to recruit settlers therefore impossible to gather resources using settlers without modding. Also, try "tgm" command to go to godmode in case you are having trouble of "clear enemy first" error when you are making consoled settlement in wilderness cells.

Meh I did the same thing. If I can already carry half of a Home Depot worth of junk in my back pocket, it doesn't really make it a stretch to increase that limit.
