📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION The Junk Grinder is a lightweight solution to grinding down all your junk into components within a matter of seconds. There are several mods out there that offer the same idea, but I found them to either be glitchy, outdated, or simply came with extra content I didn't want. Workshop Junk Grinder is my personal alternative to those scenarios.

COMPATIBILITY
- []Any mods that add a new type of component to the game will need to have a patch. The mods will still be compatible without a patch, but any junk item from the other mod will not return the mod-added component. Other than that, Workshop Junk Grinder should be compatible with everything else.
- []You can only grind down Junk items, not apparel, weapons, and so forth. The function to do so has yet to be exposed to Papyrus and will require a future version of F4SE in order to scrap non Junk items. []Sometimes, if you take out items from the Junk Grinder before it is done grinding (not recommended to be doing anyway), the audio can get stuck on a loop. To fix this, just Scrap or Store the Junk Grinder and replace it.
- []Add ability to scrap non Junk items once F4SE exposes the function.
