📋 About This Mod
What does this mod do?
There is also a reduced version that reduces the weight of junk items, but doesn't remove it completely!
Update: New Version of Reduced Junk Weight is up
KNOWN ISSUES:
There may be conflicts with inventory sorting mods.
______________________________________________________I won't write an entire list of all the things that it removes weight from as it would be way too long, but it is basically all building materials like steel, wood, etc. and all of the items that can be broken down into those supplies. There are a lot more than you'd expect!
______________________________________________________
I hope you all enjoy this mod, as it should help lighten the load on a lot of people who want to explore or are frustrated that they have to give up useful storage space for stupid wrenches and hammers.
