Wait, what?! His arms and legs? 😆
I store stuff that is important to me with my active companion. Yes, you have to remove the fusion core to make sure your settlers don't mess with your power armor. Haven't noticed any things stored at a workbench that has gone missing though.
Did Spectacle Island earlier, which was fun. Good exploration! I've seen on YouTube that some have built the shit out of that place. Have to say, I have totally lost interest in my settlers. Unless they are under attack I don't give a shit anymore. When all is said and done with the game I may give it a proper go to see if I can get those ungrateful bastards to get to 100 happiness. Think I'm going to continue on the main quest my next session, which for me is to get into the Institute. I've sort of put that off since it seems to lead dangerously close to the end. 🙂
