I'd like to see a Scrapper rank 3 perk that lets you break down furniture / trees / trash / etc like when you're in a settlement, but wherever you are. Obviously there would have to be some exceptions - no locked containers, no terminals, no quest items. Breaking down a container would put all the items in your inventory instead of the workshop (obviously).

Probably be super overpowered, so maybe have it unlock like at level 50 or something. You'd probably constantly be overweight, but with maxed strong back you could just fast travel home with your pile of trees in your backpack.

I would have liked an option to break down junk manually in the field.

I tried just throwing it all in the workshop and letting it do its auto-breakdown thing when it needed components... But I literally hate opening the workshop and seeing hundreds of different things in there.

So the OCD took over and I drop all my junk on the ground and break it down manually so I just have to look at the two dozen components in my workshop instead of hundreds of random junk pieces...

ooh, yeah - rank 3 - allow you to break down items from your inventory

rank 4 - let you scrap furniture / junk / trees / etc.
