Hi all, just wondering how necessary crafting in Fallout 4 is for my character. My biggest concern is how important it is for the settlement-building part of the game. If I don't do it, will Sanctuary become a post-apocalyptic Roanoke? This is my first playthrough with the game, and I'd prefer to leave the crafting for later playthroughs; however, I don't want Sanctuary to die or disappear.
