"Scrap-O-Tron 2000"
version 1.5
by Xavier13 (aka djxavier13)

This mod introduces the Scrap-O-Tron 2000, which makes scrapping junk into components as easy as it can get! You can find this unit in the settlement build menu's Crafting category and is small enough to be placed in much tighter spaces than other workbenches. Unlike other workbenches, no crafting interactions are required! Just walk up to it and press the desired buttons on the unit to perform its functions!

Once placed, input and output containers appear, as well as the 4 interaction buttons in between them. If you need to manually sort inventory, you can access the containers. If you're in a rush, just press a buttons instead.

* 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 settlement's workshop inventory.

You may be thinking, "why not a 'Move Output to Player' button?" It's actually very easy to us access the output container and use the standard Take-All function, but quite another matter to move stuff out specific stuff out of the player's inventory and put it in the workshop. Yes, you could workshop's "Store All Junk" function, but that moves *everything* from the Junk folder into the workshop. What if you just wanted to move the components you scrapped? This just make less work for you!

What if you want to add or remove junk that's on the Junk-Exclusion list? I made this easy for you. Instead of having to edit the 550+ items in the scrappable-junk list, there's a separate form list for junk to exclude from scrapping, which has far fewer items to sift through. If you use FO4Edit, you can add or remove items from the Junk Exclusion list. Just make sure not to touch the other 3 FormLists, or it won't work properly.

============
Installation
============

I highly recommend using Nexus Mod Manager to install this automatically, but it's probably a good idea to know what this does install so you can root it out if NMM fails to uninstall it properly.

If you download the mod to install manually, it's easiest to extract it to the root Fallout 4 folder, as the mod's files are already nested in the appropriate subfolders in the zip file. I used a naming convention to make it easy to find which files belong to my mods, specifically. They extract as follows and are where you'll find the files if you manually remove them later:

============
Known Issues
============

- A minor visual glitch that causes the buttons to vanish temporarily when looking away - doesn't impact its use at all.
- Cannot use the Move-To-Warehouse button in Home Plate, because its workshop doesn't behave like other settlements.

==========
Change Log
==========

1.5 - Added a Portable Scrapping Toolkit to scrap junk when out and about.
- All component shipments can now be scrapped (All Junk)
- All component shipments added to the exclusions (All Except)
- Previously unscrappable junk (comics, burnt books, folders, napkins) can now be scrapped for Cloth.

1.4 - Added an appropriate wired-power requirement(2) to use the Scrap-O-Tron 2000.

1.3 - Added a new texture to make the Scrap-O-Tron look more unique.
- Fixed a bug where items moved-to-warehouse in Home Plate would go missing.

1.2 - Fixed a bug that allowed a duplication exploit, created from fixing the bug in the last version.

1.1 - Fixed a bug that would have allowed the machine to delete any non-junk manually added to the Input container when disassembling.

1.0 - First release

=================================
All About the Junk Exclusion List
=================================

The following list of excluded items where primarily obtained using the following wiki link. I also added Pre-war Money, since it weighs nothing and can be valuable in trade.
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_junk_items

000E69AF HalluciGen Gas Canister (Hazardous Material quest)
0001D95A Blue Paint (Painting the Town quest)
0001D95B Yellow Paint (Painting the Town quest)
00147D5E Gilded Grasshopper (The Gilded Grasshopper quest)
00199043 Locket (Abernathy quest)
00059A71 Abraxo Cleaner (crafting recipes)
00059A76 Baseball (crafting recipes)
00060E73 Anti Freeze Bottle (crafting recipes)
0002C59E Bloatfly Gland (crafting recipes)
00059AF8 Pencil (crafting recipes)
00059B0C Brahmin Skull (crafting recipes)
000347E1 Skull (crafting recipes)
00034603 Mole Rat Teeth (crafting recipes)
000628ED Radscorpion Stinger (crafting recipes)
00028A63 Blood Sac (crafting recipes)
00020194 Coffee Tin (crafting recipes)
00059B02 Pre-War Money (weightless/valuable)

Keep in mind that there is also a Junk-All list that only includes junk that can be scrapped that is not considered essential for quests. The only reason why some quest items were added to the Junk-All list and then the Junk-Exclusion list, is because they are not essential and left with the player after the quests are complete. For instance, the Giddyup Buttercup Parts is a quest item found in the world, but once its associated quest is completed, it's no longer available to the player, so there's no point in having that item in the Junk-All list to begin with.

If there are any other items you would prefer to have scrapped or not want to have scrapped, and you know how to use the Creation Kit or FO4Edit (FO4Edit is faster/easier for this), then you can edit the X13_JunKExclusionsList found in the FormID List category. I recommend not touching the other 3 lists and there shouldn't be any need to do so, unless you're trying to make it include junk or components from other mods.

Finally, these lists were built solely on the base game's content. Far Harbor DLC only included a handful of additional junk. I'm planning on making another override list for that and a combination override for Survival + Far Harbor. Or, I'll include alternate main downloads for DLC. I'll likely do the same when Nuka World is released.

===================
Version 1.5 Details
===================

This mod now makes the following previously-unscrappable junk items scrappable for Cloth. Cloth was chosen to fall in line with other paper-based items that scrap for cloth as Bethesda originally designed. All books scrap for 2 Cloth, and the comics, magazines, napkin and folder scraps for 1 Cloth.

001F932D Ruined Book
001F932B Ruined History Book
001F932C Ruined Book
00027F90 Napkin
00132974 Burnt Manta-Man Comic
00132977 Burnt Grognak Comic
00132979 Burnt Unstoppables Comic
00140AF0 Folder
0015799C Burnt Book
0015799E Burnt Textbook
0019569E Burnt Trade Magazine
0019569F Burnt Lifestyle Magazine
001956A0 Burnt Fashion Magazine

Component shipments were something I had previously overlooked or possibly ignored for some forgotten reason. For whatever reason, they're now included on both the All-Junk and Junk Exclusion lists with version 1.5. I also added them to the exclusion list, in case you might be making trips to multiple settlements and not wanting to convert the weightless shipment receipts into their heavy components. More importantly, so that the new Portable Scrapping Toolkit ignores them and you don't end up suddenly weighed down with 200 Concrete when out adventuring!

And speaking of the Portable Scrapping Toolkit, this is an all new item that you can craft at any chem station (in Utility) and take with you to scrap junk anywhere! It can be found in the Aid category of your inventory. Each one has 3 uses before it vanishes. To make it safe and practical, it only scraps junk that's not on the exclusion list. Even so, you should be careful about the weight of the junk, because once scrapped, some of the junk's components are heavier and you might find yourself stuck walking slowly home (tip: don't use it during battle!).
