I think I have another take on most of these:
1. Candles- recently occupied, most likely by roaming gangs of Raiders. (This thinking can actually be applied to several points here).
2. Again, Raiders and/or scavengers or those settlers that keep coming to my settlements.
I guess they stored some veggies for later and then died or finished mutating into ghouls.
3. And again, raiders or such... Wut? You think you are the only hoarder running around the wasteland?
4. Yeah, have to hand you that one.... Blech. But maybe our fun loving and oh, so clever ancestors from the 2060's had developed better food preservation methods? You know, what with having unlimited energy and all...
5. Nah, just new gangs move in on the territory. They were using stealth, you just didn't see them.
Just my thinking 馃槈
When I first started playing, I could not understand why there was a need for gas stations like Red Rocket. I was boggled. Cars are fusion powered, right?
Then I actually paid attention to the pricing sign outside the station - they sold coolant.
I was also a bit confused as to how they managed to use up all the other resources seeing that they had this wonderful unlimited fusion power. War came due to fighting over the resources.
What would you need crude oil for? Water? All of it?
Look around, see all that plastic? Yeah, that comes from oil.
Water? Well now, gotta cool all those reactors. Makes dirty water.
See, now, we can rationalize away all these fears and discomforts, lol.
Edit: to the OP's point. There are still generators running in basemants, what I can't understand is how come they don't [censored] down when I pop the fusion cores?
If you'll look, sometimes you'll see wires running from some of the terminals and things as if they've been rigged up by the occupants.
