Pillory

The pillory is a constructible settlement item added in the Fallout 4 add-on Contraptions Workshop.

Gameplay
The pillory is made of wood and its design consists of a central support with an opening section on it. There are holes for an individual's arms and head located on the top section.

Crafting
The pillory is located under Resources → Miscellaneous in the workshop.

Behind the scenes
During the Middle Ages the pillory was a device used for punishment of criminals by public humiliation. Passers-by were free to mock the criminals or physically abuse them by throwing rotten fruits at them.

Bugs
When assigning a settler to the pillory they will not enter it but it will still show as assigned. This can sometimes be remedied by assigning the settler to another workstation and then re-assigning to the pillory, or by moving the pillory to another location.
