I'm on the "Taking Independence" mission with the Minutemen and now I need to power the radio transmitter. I already built a generator, but that doesn't seem to be enough, I need to connect it somehow.
How exactly do I connect the generator to the transmitter? The various electricity items I can build in the Workshop aren't really explained.

Step by Step, no pics
- Build a small generator (skip if you have an existing with spare power)
- While in workshop mode still, press SPACE (Y on XB, Triangle on PS4) while highlighting the generator. (it should now show a little wire from generator to your cursor that moves around with you)
- Highlight the Radio Tower, and press SPACE(Y on XB, Triangle on PS4) again.
Bam! Transmission begins.
4You build a generator and then power cables from the generator to the radio.
You create wires by pointing at an electrical object and pressing the button highlighted for Attach Wire:
In order to link your generator to other objects, you must first target the generator in build mode. When you press space (assuming you are playing on a PC - I am unsure what the console equivalent is), you will start dragging a wire. With the wire in hand, target the object you want to power - in this case, the radio transmitter. When you press space (or the console equivalent) again, the wire will now run between the objects. You're done!
Note that you need a clear line of sight between the generator and the object that you are powering.
