The Fallout 4 Beta Hunt

Let us hunt for and discuss things that made it into the development cycle, but were ultimately changed, removed, or maybe just never used.
(If this is the wrong section for the topic, I apologize.)

Monorails originally had a completely different and larger design

Drinking Buddy was originally known as Mister Brewer and had a completely different design that rendered him immobile.

Roomba's with docking stations were originally going to appear in vaults.

A sign exists in the files, suggesting Weston Water Treatment plant was originally named "Nut Island"

A sign for "Rook military supply" exists in the game, but was replaced with a cloth banner.

The Soul Survivor originally had a green Corvega, instead of the black station wagon.

The Soul Survivor's house had a slightly different layout, having a bay window along the carport.

Breadboxes were originally red in earlier builds of the game

Dog Bowls were tan in earlier builds of the game

Glass bottles such as wine and rum would've been transparent when empty

 

Red Rocket service ramps were to appear in game, but were removed at some point of development.

 

Missiles had notably different design.

DiamondTvLarge
A large TV that would've been in Diamond City, possibly had a use in the quest Powering Up

Utility cabinets originally had a mint green paint job, opposed to tan in the full game.

A red coupe was going to appear on the Sanctuary Bridge, but was moved several feet off the bridge and replaced with a Corvega of the same colour.

There are two dirty material swaps for the baby model, suggesting that there might've been families in the Commonwealth that recently had one.

The containers tab in workshop originally used a crate icon, but was later changed.

It's been a while.
Multiple unused / test vehicle props can be found among the files.

Several arcade game props were cut from the base game, but later returned in Nuka World.

An unused car lift can be found in the files. It looks suspiciously similar to the PA Stations we have now, IMO.

I wonder what the car lift would've been used for.

Maybe it would've appeared on Red Rocket gas stations, or it was part of something more ambitious, like some type of workbench for something.

Synth Crows. Guess this is what some NPC mean with "the crow things"
