Shouldn't our mc have access to the building capabilities of fallout 4/76 I'd say realistically there should be no need for a workbench/camp terminal for building stuff. Considering the second of those is basically just a camping stove and only serves as a marker I'd say the mc should be able to make his own constructions using the pipboy.
i would miss running water a whole lot more than ac, imagine no shower or wc, i'd go nuts. if those ants are so though making armor out of them seems like a solid plan. cut it into scales like snakeskin and use that to create armor. flexible, strong, prob gotta paint it sandy, do not wanna walk around in a black armor
