Some Hard-to-Find Info About Fallout 4

Based on what is seen in videos and Wiki's on the Internet, much of the info on here is not widely known or understood (with the exception of "Noobie...", which is for the benefit of new players) or is presented in a less than useful format.  
For example, A printable list of Magazines sorted by location would seem to be more useful than one sorted by magazine since rarely would you go out looking for just a specific magazine. More often, you would be out on a mission and come across a building and want to know if a bobblehead or magazine is inside.

Game-breaking mods

    ...only break the game if you enjoy scrounging endlessly for rare components. If you enjoy designing and building settlements, then here are mods to help with that.

The Survival mode overhaul in patch 1.5 completely changes the way Fallout 4 must be played. Most of the advice about character builds, use of chems, and game play on these pages do not apply to it but still applies to non-Survival play.
