📋 About This Mod

This mod introduces the Scrap-O-Tron 2000, which makes scrapping junk into components as easy as it can get! It's in the Crafting category in the Build Menu.  Unlike other workbenches, no crafting interactions are required! Just walk up to it and press the desired buttons to perform their functions!

Once placed, input and output containers appear out of nowhere, along with 4 command buttons.  Pre-war tech at it's finest!

========================

But How Does it Work, Bob?

========================

  • []The Input All Junk button instantly takes all junk that can be scrapped from the player's inventory and places it in the unit's input container.

    []The Input All Junk Except... button first sorts out useful items from the junk, then moves all other junk from the player's inventory into the unit's input container.

    []The Disassemble Input to Output button breaks down all junk found in the input container and moves the resulting components into the output container.

    []The Move Output to Warehouse button moves any items in the output container into the current settlement's workshop inventory.

    If you need to manually sort inventory, you can access the containers. If you're in a rush, just press a buttons instead.  That's it!  As simple as walking up and pushing a few buttons!

    As of version 1. 4, the Scrap-O-Tron 2000 now requires a wired-connection in your settlement of 2 power.  It only makes sense that all of this automation requires power to operate!

    As of version 1. 5, take scrapping on the go with the all new Portable Scrapping Toolkit!  Available for crafting at any chem workbench, under Utility.

    NOTE: I realize that everyone wants a simple answer to scrap weapons and armor. However, due to limitations of external code used for modding, this mod cannot scrap weapons and armor. The inner workings of scrapping weapons and armor is far more complicated than junk, and the vanilla function for doing this is hard-coded into the base game itself (not available externally to mod). While some have suggested implementing Fallout 4 Script Extender into this mod to accomplish this, I don't want to have this mod dependent on another mod that constantly requires updating every time Bethesda decides release a new Creation Club item or other updates to the base game that would otherwise have no effect on this mod.
