The devs did say they'll be interested to see what people can come up with, sounds like they have a system where you can mix and match things to make new things. And write scripts to do things as well.

We'll probably craft a brahmin pen or trading post or something within the settlement; this thing won't move, but it'll be the object within the settlement that tells it 'I'm ready to start a caravan from here or to here'.

Like a third of the animated SPECIAL short for Endurance was about eating food to maintain your health. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Lead Belly perk had a lot more food-based functionality added to later ranks to improve the effects of food.

Maybe, though have to say it would be more fun overall to craft a Brahmin cart then watch it take off after all your hard work.

The craft a crude sled and get Dogmeat to drag you around the place
