Scraping components on the move.

[Deleted49413338User]

I know there are a few mods that allow scrapping of components without a workshop but what I am looking for is something that allows you to extract components without picking up the item.

 

There are mods that will show a list of components when you hover on an item and I would like to be able to just select and extract components that I want. Maybe by turning selected static items into containers (a huge undertaking probably)

 

I feel like only certain items should have this option, mostly things with screws or small components, it would not be immersive to be able to extract rubber from tires or metal from a desk fan.. I would just want things added like fuses, circuitry, screws etc to stuff like radios, desk fans, computer consoles, cars etc.

 

So, if you take the whole item (if it is something you can take) you get all the components back at your workshop but if you loot the scrap from it, you only take the small components and the item remains in place.

 

I think this should require a number of conditions. To have a skill perk that is relevant and to have certain items in your inventory. A screwdriver and maybe other tools like adjustable wrench for a few larger objects. Also a pretty high chance for no components at all as there are a lot of scavengers in the wasteland.

 

I am fairly sure I could maybe do this or have a try, but hoping someone can tell me if something like this already exists that would only require me to make some smaller edits to suit me personally, Or someone likes the idea and is willing to try make it.

 

The closest thing I have found is this mod but it picks up items and dissolves them into components in your inventory. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18539

I think probably the stuff like cars, computer consoles and street lights etc is pretty much what I want when it comes to static objects but I would edit the contents of those objects.

Its mainly the stuff that can be picked up I would like to be changed to how I described.

 

IDK, this mod has a lot of options though and maybe it can be used in this way, but I have not figured it out if that is the case.

That is doable, but (for me) more effort than its payoff.

 

In the meantime you can automatically convert misc junk items you pick up into their scrap components in real-time as you add them to player inventory with either SKK Scrapper of SKK Workshop Ownership utilities.
