This makes sense: if you break down an entire house, you don't want to carry it around in your pockets. Unlike the Weapons and Armor benches, breaking items down this way places them directly in the Workshop inventory rather than in your own. Choose that option and they'll get broken down - you can even break a car, tree, or collapsed house into its components in seconds. Breaking down neighborhood debrisДЇor all the debris near a Workshop-walk up to the Workshop bench, choose the Workshop option, and then walk away from the Workshop.ДЄs you walk around your neighborhood, items will get highlighted with the option to Scrap them. Other apparel, including clothing and non-moddable armor like helmets, must be broken down the same way as neighborhood debris, which is described in detail next.ДЄs with moddable armor and weapons, the Workshop will not break down these materials automatically. Breaking down non-moddable armor and clothing This will place the components in your personal inventory.

You break it down the same way, but using the Armor Workbench. Breaking down moddable armorДЄrmor that can be modded works the same way as weapons: you must break it down to make its components available. It is not possible to break down non-moddable weapons (for example grenades), even by dropping them and using the Workshop menu. If it melts down your beloved laser rifle. If the Workshop automatically melts down a wrench in your inventory, that's great. While this is an extra step, it makes sense.

This will place those components in your personal inventory. To make it available you must go to the Weapons Workbench, select the weapon, and use the Scrap command. That potential plastic is not available for crafting. Let's say you have an Automated Institute Pistol, which includes plastic as a component. Moddable weapons act differently from junk in that you must break them down at the Weapons Workbench. (That last one is presumably because concrete = cement + sand/gravel/stone.) Breaking down moddable weapons Bag of Cement (8lb) = 5 Concrete (15lb).Extinguisher (6lb) = 2 Asbestos, 2 Rubber, 4 Steel (1.2lb).Why would you bother to break down junk manually? If you plan to keep these items in your inventory for their components, for example to move them to another settlement, the components themselves will usually be much lighter than the original item. (Infrequently when you drop an item on the ground it will disappear-falling through the ground or into another object-so you might want to back up before doing this.) It's also possible to break them down manually the same way as for neighborhood debris as described later: by dropping them on the ground and manually scrapping each one. These materials are available for Workshop and Workbench crafting whether they're in your inventory or the Workshop's inventory. But those two plastic are available as raw materials without a separate step of breaking them down. When broken down, that's worth two plastic. Let's say you have a Plastic Plate in your inventory. You don't have to break these down to access their components. Will not automatically break down any other items (armor, weapons, etc.).Will automatically break down junk items, whether in its inventory or your character's inventory.Materials in your character's inventory and materials in the Workshop's inventory.Actual base components (like Plastic) and potential components from junk items (like the plastic in a Plastic Plate).The components that are available to you for crafting are a combination of: To the Workshop's inventory: components broken down through the Workshop menu when you've dropped them or find them out in the neighborhood.To your character's inventory: components broken down at a workbench.When broken down, the components go to different inventories: Though this looks like simple a workbench like the others, it's the heart of the crafting system and has an inventory that's available for the other benches. Neighborhood debris: you must break these down by wandering around while in the Workshop menu.quests or easier transportation) you can break down junk by dropping it on the ground as above. Junk: these will be broken down automatically for crafting however, if you want to manually 'liberate' specific components for any reason (e.g.

Non-moddable armor and clothing: you must break these down by dropping them on the ground while in the Workshop menu.Moddable armor: you must manually break these down with the Armor Workbench.Moddable weapons: you must manually break these down with the Weapons Workbench.You can break down five types of items into their components: And unfortunately the game doesn't make this at all clear.
