Ok to explain my issue, whenever i activate free craft option it only gives me free building crafting and not weapon or armor crafting, so i dont know whats causing it but could you please tell me what to do?
well first you need to have the minimal requirement as far as mats /items needed and there might be a few that you could run out of but overall i still do not understand to me your saying it does not work at all
if you want to cheat and stock up on materals use the info below go to the dev room it has every item in the game and in one of the boxes it has alot of all materials
coc qasmoke — This teleports you to a room with a number of boxes that contain every single item in the game. to leave coc sanctuaryext
allso you should look at this thread i left all kinds of various things /links for fallout 4

there are different work benches for weapons and armor & chemistry your at the plain workbench that one is for just building and storage
you might need to build a weapon bench etc
at the workbench click it like you want to build then find the crafting icon click it then build the benches you need /want
