For the larger building stuff it's not stored in your inventory, it's in the workbench that you're using in that area. I de-constructed this and it's all stored over her and then when I go to build it’s pulling from that inventory of stuff I have.

Electronics can also be installed in buildings but will require generators.

It's all common sense visual stuff. If it doesn't connect to the generator, the power doesn't work. You can actually flag stuff to say "I'm looking for this stuff because I want to make this' which means that when you're scavenging anything that fulfils the requirement gets flagged in the world. When you connect stuff to the computer terminal you have a lot of control and sort of fine tuning. If you've got something that plays music, you can actually define how it’s playing music."
