About this mod
Adds a "Junk Hopper" that pulls scrapable junk, but not components, out of the workshop and spits them out on a conveyor belt. If none are found, it will try to pull from any linked workshops. Also armour hopper, weapons hopper, and remote ammo hopper. Now with black list functionality.

Adds
- a "Junk Hopper" that pulls scrapable junk, but not components, out of the workshop and spits them out on a conveyor belt. If none are found, it will try to pull from any linked workshops.
This is useful if you want to scrap all junk into components with the Recycler from Manufacturing Extended, but not run a loop of pulling already scraped components and putting them back like the existing hoppers would.
It should also very slightly help performance by reducing the number of distinct ObjectReference structures the game has to track in memory. Think: 100 steel in the workshop is just 1 ObjectReference, while tracking cans, teapots, wrenches, buckets, cooking pots, screwdrivers, etc, in two dozen workshops are several
references.
- weapons hopper and armour hopper, in case you have something that can take them apart, or just want to shift them around, like your caravans should let you do anyway. IMHO in a sane world you should be able to radio your other settlements and tell them to bring certain items to your current settlement. This is just another slow way to achieve the same result.
WARNING: they pull legendary items too. If you're feeding them into something that can scrap legendaries, make sure you only dump items you don't want into your workshops. Keep your legendaries in other containers or manequins or whatever, if you want to keep them.
- remote ammo hopper, that lets you shift ammo from other settlements to whichever settlement you're in. It will ONLY pull items from remote workshops, never from the settlement it's in. Mostly useful in survival mode, where all those nuka-nukes weigh a ton. Again, IMHO using your supply routes to shift items to wherever you want them, is IMHO something that should have been in the game in the first place.
CONFIGURING IT
Any items placed directly into one of these hoppers will be used as a black list or negative filter: those kinds of items will NOT be pulled from the workshop. I.e., it's the polar opposite of the Object Hopper from Manufacturing Extended. You can use this to prevent it from pulling large items that would block the conveyor belt (e.g., stew pot), would fall off the belt (e.g., fishing rod), or you might need for other stuff than as junk (e.g., coils for a certain quest, junk that is itself a crafting component for crafting other stuff like the acid gun ammo, etc.)
This is optional. If you don't mind it pulling everything, you can leave it empty.
COMPATIBILITY
It shouldn't conflict with anything, since it doesn't edit any of the vanilla forms or scripts.
As of 3.0, the junk item pulls anything that (1) isn't black listed, and (2) is a MiscObject (i.e., no armour, weapons, etc), and (3) can be scrapped into components, and (4) doesn't scrap into itself, like component junk does. (E.g., you can drop a unit of gold, scrap it, and get a unit of gold for your effort. That kind of item won't be pulled.) Thus, it should be compatible with any mods that add their own scrapable junk or even their own components.
The other three pull anything that (1) isn't black listed, and (2) is of the right item type (ammo, armour or weapon). There is no test there to see if it scraps into itself, since there's no sane reason for a piece of armour or weaponry to be set up that way.
REQUIREMENTS
It obviously NEEDS the Contraptions Workshop DLC.
It NEEDS the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE.)
It doesn't technically require Manufacturing Extended, but it makes the most sense to use it with the Recycler and Workshop Storage items from Manufacturing Extended. Still, if you want to feed those junk items into something else, or just shift items to your current location and then sell them, I'm not stopping you.
