Generator (Fallout 4)

Generators is the primary workshop item for power in a settlement.

Primary Needs
In all settlements you primarily need a generator and forced to build a recruitment radio beacon when doing a Minuteman beacon quest.

To power lights, turrets, and purifies ect, you need power from a generator. So basically power is essential to any settlement

Crafting
Materials Needed:

Generator—Small 3 Electricity Gear (2), Steel (4), Rubber (2), Copper (2), Ceramic (1)

Generator—Medium 5 Electricity Screw (3), Gear (3), Steel (7), Rubber (3), Copper (3), Ceramic (1)

Generator—Large 10 Electricity Gear (6), Screw (5), Rubber (4), Copper (10), Aluminum (12), Nuclear Material (3)

Generator—Windmill 3 Electricity Steel (15), Copper (4), Aluminum (10), Gear (2)

Notes:

 * Large generators cannot be built under a roof meaning a Barn Structure  or building something tall to fit it.
 * A windmill produces power still but does not make any noise but noticeably more expensive and the power-to-cost ratio.
 * If several generators are attached to a single Power Pylon, the power value of that pylon would be the sum of the powers produced by the generators.
