Scrap-it Caravan (PERK)

Your skill in scrapping and crafting junk in the wasteland is relative to how much you can haul.
With each rank, Carry weight increases +1.

Caravan increases 1 rank every time you complete a scrap-it challenge. So around an additional 28-35lbs carry weight maxed out in TTW Scrap-it V 1.5. So if you complete a kill rank challenge (for example), you'll get a rank in Scrap-it Sharper, and in Caravan. Caravan encompasses all (new in 1.5, previously was limited to itself).

Scrap-it Sharper (PERK)

You gain a flat +1 damage bonus against everything, per rank.

Scrap-it Decisively (PERK)

Gain +1 Dt per rank from completing challenges.

I haven't found out how to replicate detecting a location found, towards a challenge. It seems the vanilla ones are scripted to specific locations. So for now, this helps lock away recipes that are 'unfound', 'Joe's Pistol', weapons or armor that don't have a purpose yet (or I can't link them to something meaningful) lay out there to be collected.

Magazine Reading Challenges (14 types, no ranks, made per magazine book)

Read X _________ Magazines. Contributes towards unlocking recipes.

Unfound Challenge (5 Ranks)

Complete challenges. Contributes towards recipes of items that link to no quest, no true identity than to 'exist'.

Craft Challenge (5 Ranks)

Craft items at a Workbench, Campfire, Reloading Bench, or elsewhere. Contributes towards unlocking recipes.

GRA Challenge (3 Ranks)

Do damage with Gun Runners' Arsenal (GRA) Weapons. Contributes towards Unlocking GRA Weapons

Kill Challenge (5 Ranks, an extension of Lord Deaths 3, making 8 total dmg increases)

Kill anything. Contributes to unlocking recipes.

Repair Challenge (5 Ranks)

Repair items in your inventory yourself. Contributes towards unlocking recipes.

Mod Challenge (No ranks, install 1 mod on a gun, intended for lvl1 players introduce to system).
At moment, unlocks thy weakest mod in the game. Thats all it does. Like a starter quest.

Starting out:
Many recipes and options in the Workstation menus start locked, hidden from view. Completing requirements slowly makes things visible. The quickest effective way to unlock anything is through challenges made by Scrap-it, starting with prefix 'Unlock' followed by name. Example is Unlock Craft 1, a challenge from Scrap-it requires crafting x number of items. In the Vanilla Game, you will work tirelessly to craft 1 item. In scrap-it, you'll craft 100s in a matter of minutes. So Craft 1 requires 200... just collect everything in sight. That is the intent. Also... equip a mod to a weapon, .. the easiest challenge. Unlocks modifications in the reloading bench menu.

[Tool] Items: To use, interact with it as though picking it up for inventory. If in inventory, drop the item. Selecting Take puts in inventory, Leave exits the menu, and the middle option(s) consume/use the item. As of v1.65, there is/was Wood Chipper, Bonesaw, Hotplate, and Pressure Cooker. Later updates might include things like Doctors bags, etc. or potential extra functionality to other items. The purpose is to help ensure you can 'be out there longer' before having to turn back to home, to store loot.

Miscellaneous Parts Kit:
They can be unpacked for the most used items for recipes. They are also used in recipes themselves. They are unpacked from outpost workstations using the 'unpack-it' menu option if you complete the Study Survival Challenge, or that option is available free at the main workstations.. (Workbench, Campfire, Reloading Bench).

Food Box (new, in progress):
They can be unpacked for the most used items for cooking recipes. They don't currently do this in v1.6. They just came in. But you can eat them? The purpose will be exactly as Miscellaneous Parts Kit works, and Food Box's recipes will show up in the Unpack-it section. 

Notable Supplies:
Gained from scrapping rare junk items, like a guitar, or big spoon. Anything that I found seems rare. Used in recipes for Unique Weapons or Armor. 

Weapon Parts:
Gained from scrapping weapons. Used in Weapon Mod Recipes.

Speech SKILL: Helps you unlock recipes
Used as a requirement ranging from 1 to 100 for most magazine crafting recipes. Considering in order to unlock a lot of recipes, you have to complete challenges requiring to read X amount of magazines... Take a guess why speech is needed to craft (write) a magazine, or why we must 'study guns' to craft better guns...

Unarmed SKILL: Helps you craft recipes
Used as a requirement ranging from 1 to 100 for most scrapping and weapon/armor/mod/ammo recipes... This isn't too noticable until you start unlocking a ton of recipes later on, and watching unarmed stay unleveled. J

The mod can be balanced in 4-5* ways:
A) *New* Report 'prompt' bug when encounter it. If your prompted with workstation, but no where near one, bug report where you AT, so I locate the CELL
B) Suggest Balance Changes in Comments section
C) Use Famine Mod, adjust settings in it's TXT. What happens if you reduce the loot available to collect? 
D) Use Stewies Tweaks to disable SELLING to Vendors (buying from Vendors is okay). Dark Souls secret to economy is disabling selling. The day I did that, I no longer needed an economy mod. 
E) Time given for mod to mature

No, I'm not going to stop.

-Resumed work on the mod on 06/04/25. 1190 Recipes so far, in progress.
-Uploaded Addon: 9 Recipes for Another Interior Mod on 06/15/2025

Addon means adds recipes to recognize a mod
Patch means changes how code functions to work with a mod

An addon doesn't mean I endorse nor not endorse the mod, nor does it mean the supported mods are compatible with 'each other'. For example, Another Interior Mod and AWOP conflict on some interiors, but I'm playing through with both. Addons are my personal quick fixes made available public. They may or may not cover the entirety of the mod. A percent % will give an idea. A patch is more work, likely if I did a patch, I felt the mod is great or essential, or not my taste, but must have been worthy enough to get one. If you have any of these mods, get the addon or patch, load after the mod and scrap-it. They will allow you to scrap stuff you wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Addons for: 
Another Interior Mod - 9 Recipes, 100% Covered.

FUTURE WARNING: Oven Cooking is compatible with v1.65. At some point, it will become obsolete, and incompatible with Scrap-it. Other mods that add functionality to Chemistry labs, or Laboratories, same deal. The Eye of Scrap-it is targeting all potential nestings.. to dump it's recipes into. My first laboratory.. or the chem object at Mitch's house, expect it all to just eventually get touched by Scrap-it, if not expanded.
MAJOR (Breaks the mod): Do not use with another mod that replaces the vanilla Workstation scripts.
MINOR: This mod modifies vanilla recipes, and vanilla items. Another mod replacing or modifying Vanilla Items or Recipes may need a patch to Scrap-it in the future, once I finish this. 
MINOR SPECIFIC: For balance reasons, avoid mods that alter Dirty Water, Wood Chipper, Bonesaw, Hotplate, Oven, Sink, Toilet, Workbench, Reloading Bench, OR any other workstation, including Chemistry Labs.. Laboratories., The Pitt's Ammo Press, Madre's Vending Machines... etc.
