📋 About This Mod
~~~Basics~~~
Go up to any workbench (including cooking fire/stove and PA workstation) and scrap most junk in your inventory down to its base components.
Simple and fast (takes about 1 second).
Has Canary support. (Optional, not required.)
Add DLC items to the list of things that won't be scrapped. Not required after all.
Add the custom shipments from my Shipments Expanded mod to the list of things that won't be scrapped. Completed.
~~~Changelog~~~
1. 1: No longer scraps: weightless items (no point), shipments, or copper/gold/silver bars.
1. 2: No longer scraps shipments from my Shipments Expanded mod.
1. 3: Now plays a sound (not the best). Now has an alt-activation that allows items to be made non-scrappable (has an optional MCM to turn this alt-activation off/on).
2: Now has a holotape in the Chemistry Workbench to toggle the alt-activation on/off. Now handles >64k of components.
3: Now scraps everything except shipments. Updated for NextGen. Recompiled scripts and repacked into new ba2 archive.
3: Now script-adds Wasteland Workshop shipments to not be scrapped. Fixed logic bug when dealing with my Shipments Expanded mod.
Q: Your mod broke my game!
A: Uninstall this mod and revert to an earlier save.
Q: What about custom junk items?
A: So long as:
It can be scrapped (some items can be set as unscrappable in the CK)
It has at least some of the base game components
The item will be scrapped down to the base game components.
Q: Some stuff is heavier when scrapped?
A: That's Fallout 4 for ya. Example: Paper Money weighs nothing, when you scrap it down to cloth it weighs 0. 1lb. It's weird that way.
Q: BethNet?
A: Here (PC and XBox).
