Don't worry too much about hoarding early on I was doing the same but after you get past a little on the main mission you can create a base and drop shit off. It was cool to be able to mod weapons a little early on, and mis and match various pieces of clothing armor. Dogmeat can wear some goggles I found lol

I love hoarding.... I loved how in the Fallout NV Old World Blues DLC they made basically all junk usable in some form. Clipboards cups pencils bottles books all that useless stuff could be converted into ammo and useful components. It was great.
How's the "feel" of FO4 so far? Does it have that same scavenging survival feel? A lot of the trolls were going in on the fact there's no hardcore mode anymore so there's no survival aspect (drinking eating sleeping). I loved that... Hope it gets patched in by the time i swoop this game

It's dope seems a little more forgiving than 3 but all in all perty much the same game. Put about 5 hours into it last just doing side quests still haven't gotten on the main mission cept for the intro and haven't fucked around with building yet

Feels just like Fallout. You walk around and you're like, yep this is the fallout out I know. Except better graphics and overall improvements. Some minor differences with the controls I have to get used to. Power Armor feels beastly as fuck, not like just some other armor you equip. The shooting is so much better.
The only thing is they kinda throw everything at you as soon as your out the vault with little instructions. I'd imagine if you've never played fallout before you'd be thinking WTF!?
Fallout 3 didn't have a hardcore survival mode either only NV, which I tried on my last play through and it wasn't really challenging, just a little annoying to stock up on water and sleep once in a while. I guess you can sleep in beds here too, gives u full health.
I'm only a couple hours in but so far it's what I was expecting/hoping for. The modding aspect is cool and I can see myself obsessing over cool mods for guns. No weapon condition is probably a good thing because you can create some highly unique weapons that I imagine could take hours and hours to put together.

It's a bit overwhelming because you have access to a weapons modding bench, armor bench, crafting and whatever else bunches there are right off that bat so you're looking at inventory like holy fuck there is a massive amount of fucking shit I can do with this shitty pipe pistol! And then you get like 5 more weapons in the next 5 minutes and you it's like fuck, I can add a million things to these too! And then you realize you can start crafting buildings and shit... they probably should ease you into this stuff but maybe its better to get it out of the way early idk
Yeah I search through everything kinda forgot how there was some much shit to do only played for bout 20 minutes after getting out the vault once I get home I'll be putting some hours into it

Sweet, found this on FO4. Adhesive is used for most everything modding and I noticed early on its the one thing that is somewhat hard to find. This provides all the adhesive you need.
By now I presume everyone is frustrated about finding adhesive, which to this point is the limiting factor on all of my crafting. For a while it was fun to have to decide which mod I wanted before I went out scavenging again, but no more.
Here's the details:
There is a recipe in the cooking menu under util called 'vegetable paste'. I accidentally discovered that vegetable paste breaks down into adhesive. Specifically, FIVE adhesive.
The recipe calls for 3 each of mutfruit, corn, and tato. All of these can be grown at your settlement, giving you a permanent supply of each. It may take a while to get the operation spun up (not long -- see below for getting started), but since you can harvest and replant, you should be able to get a massive amount of each, eventually.
The recipe also calls for one purified water. If I'd told you that you could turn one purified water into five adhesive, you'd probably be pretty happy, but it gets better. If you build a water purifier in your settlement, you will occasionally get purified water deposited at the workshop. I built an industrial sized water purifier in the river at Sanctuary, and when I went to check I found 31 purified water in my workshop. Also a good source of health.
All you have to decide now is what you're gonna name that gun you wanted to build.
additional hints to get you started:
There's a ton of tato at Abernathy Farm, TenPines Bluff, and GreyGarden. There's also a ton of corn and mutfruit at GreyGarden. Use these to start your own operation!
It may be advisable to drop the paste and scrap it by hand to get the five adhesive. I'm still unclear on whether using it at the workshop will consume the entire item and you'll lose the rest, or if the rest goes into your workshop inventory. Whether or not this happens is hotly debated (see comments). I haven't tested it myself.

According to u/Ommageden, you can also get purified water from Codsworth
For everyone asking about finding screws: The scrapper perk will allow you to get rarer materials from breaking down guns. All of those pipe pistols you find will give you screws and copper if they have mods on them, even shitty mods. (side note: you can remove and keep the good mods by replacing them with shittier mods).
A lot of people are saying they have a ton of adhesive and don't need more. Adhesive isn't necessarily that hard to find, but almost all of the leather armor mods and firearm mods use a ton of it, so us sneaky sniper gun nut types are always out. It's found in much smaller quantities than, say, steel, which you can get by the bucketload. As you build better and better mods, they start using more and more adhesive.
GreyGarden is here (thanks u/tiwuno)
Guys, it's under COOKING, not chemistry. You want a firepit and a pot, not a bench and a beaker.

Put a settlement at the Sanctuary, where your house is. And you can put one at that Red Rocket gas station near the Sanctuary if you want too. That Preston dude and a couple of his friends should already be there.
The pip boy app is kinda useful, I have it on my phone connected to my ps4 so I can watch the map while I'm playing or I can go to my inventory and eat food or whatever, put on armor etc.

SETTLEMENT tips
If you have a pylon or other conduit on a roof, power will pass through the ceiling. Imagine a 'sphere of influence' around the source of power. Any light devices within range will receive power
The generator is the source. Pylons are nodes to access that source. Make a 'dump' of source and connect it to a single node. Now make a network of other nodes connected to this 'base' node. Connect everything else to this network
-If you assign a companion to a settlement, you can assign them to a task. Codsworth is now running a scavenging station for me instead of meandering about with no job.
-Build a bell in a central location in every settlement (Resources > Miscellaneous). Ringing it calls every settler to it, and makes it easy to find new settlers and assign them tasks.
-Equip all your settlers with a marker piece of common equipment, like a bandana. Makes it easy to spot new ones in a crowd, or make it task specific
-When building settlements you can raise and lower objects by holding E and using scroll wheel on PC, X and L1/R1 on PS4
-When building your first settlement use E to move the initial workbenches instead of scrapping them.
-You can remove the radiation from Starlight Drive by scrapping the barrels in the center, and the Unrusted Crashed Car.
Water pumps, farms, and traders deposit the Items and Caps they produce into the workbench.
-To help place objects in hard places use a small rug then place the object on the rug, pick up the rug and the item will remain attached but the game uses the rugs collision detection.(This allows you to clip objects into walls!)
-To assign settlers select them in the crafting screen then select the object you want them to work
Settlers can work up to 6 Food at a time. Meaning a settler can tend to 12 plants that produce .5 food each.
-To reduce raider attacks make sure your defense state is higher than food + water.
-Highlighting a settler in workshop mode will also highlight anything he's assigned to.
-Fast Travel in between settlements will instantly grow all crops that have a settler assigned to them.
-When your selecting something through the workshop build interface if you press and hold the move command(Press and hold [E]) this will pickup all items attached(or very close) to the object you are picking up. (Be careful as if your walls are all attached you can pickup very large parts of your settlement!)
I'm not that far but apparently you can find the fusion cores to power the armor fairly often (Google fusion core map locations). You can buy them from some merchants as well but they are expensive. A tip is to sell your fusion cores when there is still a little juice left as merchants will give u a lot more caps versus selling an empty core). Additionally, if u sneek behind a power armor wearing enemy and pick pocket him, you can steel the fusion core, which then kills the power of course and the enemy has to get out of the power armor, giving u an easy kill opportunity, plus the fusion.
