I tried to use the getpos/setpos trick to move an object into the redzone. Apparently I had selected the wrong object and ended up moving a massive amount of the docks at the marina settlement. How can I undo this? Do I have to test forever with different cordinates?

reloaded a save from before. It didn't change anything until I also completely restarted the game. Does anyone know any way around reloading if this happens again?
If you're worried about losing progress or something. You can save a separate save after the fuck-up. Load an earlier save. Use the getpos command, write down the coordinates.
Reload the post fuck-up save. Setpos to the origin coordinates.
I don't know how to put things back where they were exactly, but I know how to check you have the right object selected: modpos z 10
If the thing you were trying to select jumps up a little higher, continue with setpos commands. If something else moves up instead, moving it back is simple: modpos z -10
I started using this after using setpos on the wrong object. In my case, it was a cluster of trees, so I just scrapped them.
Where, as exactly as you can state it, was the object originally? Do you have a picture of the object? Maybe someone else can get you the values from their game and you can reset the object manually.
That's interesting that its across saves, it must have modified the base world file.
edit: Also, if this is the only world edit you have made and you dont have any other mods, you could backup your saves manually and then use steam to 'Varify the integrity of the game cache' and it should revert the world file. This will remove any other changes you have made that way though.
Do you have any recent saves that you could revert to?
first thing I did. No idea why, but the change applies accross the saves.
Damn. Well, I play on console so I don't think I'll be of much help. Sorry and good luck
