Is there an EASY way to scrap armor and junk? I've tried searching the internet and reading the game guide. Everyone/everything says to scrap junk, but you can't scrap any junk, and for some reason MOST of the armor (but 10% you can? so weird) in a workbench. Storing it doesn't seem to scrap it either.

From what I've figured, you have to carry junk and armor all the way to a settlement area, drop it on the ground, enter the settlement menu, target each item, then scrap each item in a massive circle of armor and junk individually.

I'm glad I've found a way, but that CAN'T be the way it was designed or intended. Hoping someone has a better way to just "scrap all junk" and/or figures out why most armor can't be scrapped at the workbench and has to be dropped and scrapped from the settlement menu.

Junk that is stored in the workshop's inventory is scrapped automatically, if the resources are required. Only items that belong to the junk category specifically, though, not armors or weapons or similar.

Yeah, I'm seeing that...somethings still wrong though because I had several circuit boards in junk storage, and when I needed "circuitry" it didn't auto junk the circuit boards until I dropped them on the ground and did it manually.

I've figured out the armor thing. Most of the raider gear that's just straps is considered "clothing" and not "armor", therefore you can't scrap it at the armor bench even though sometimes it gives you leather... I would call that a bug and say that everything in the armor column should be scrappable at the armor bench, but at least I know what the issue is there...
