is anyone else as dissatisfied by the inability to clear away brush and weeds in your settlements?
i don't even care whether or not i could get anything useful from scrapping it, i just want it gone so that when i build over it, the bush isn't inside a building poking up through the floor.

on that note too it would be nice to have farm tools to "smooth" out the land. make it 100% obvious were you can and can't plant. i'm trying to plant Carrots in sanctuary wondering why i have to skip a spot in the 3 rows i'm planting when the ground there all looks the same.

or just flatten out the land for building purposes. i know this doesn't entirely matter since the game will build floating platforms anyway. but under real physics one needs a stable foundation before building

LOL! I love the title.

And I agree with all the stuff you said.

The only lawnmowers/weed trimmers I have seen in the game have been inoperable. Of course, after being neglected for 200 years, that really isn't a surprise....... I suspect, that after the GECK comes out, we may actually see some of these fellers become functional.

A weed whacker for clearing brush and scrub which could double up as a melee weapon? I can see that working

That'd be great! After all, the Ripper is just a slighly modified chainsaw.
