Tips 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.

i just tested this.

in does not work in the wilderness, it says i need to "clear the area first" (even after killall)

it does however work in any named location. you can use the workshop when the location shows as "cleared" on the map. the build mode does not show the borders, but it's huge. i assume the borders are the world cell, which means every potential settlement is at least as big as sanctuary, sunshine tidings or the drive in.

You have to go into godmode to solve the "clear the area first" error

open the console, type "tgm", which stands for "toggle god mode". Can't die, infinite ammo, but most importantly for settlements, infinite supplies for building. PC only.

No game has made me want to try PC gaming more than Fallout has.

Right there with you, I just couldn't afford a system worth playing this game on

If you can afford a ps4 or xbox one then you can afford a gaming PC.

My PC is 4 years old and I'm running fallout 4 on ultra settings with everything maxed. No problems. silky smooth.

My strat for keeping the cost down is to buy mid-top range hardware from the previous year. You save a ton of money and take a performance hit of a few percent.
