The salvage station in Fallout 4 must be one of the most boring items you can assign a settler to. I’d like to make it a bit better but increasing the amount of randomly generated junk it gives you doesn’t feel like a very exiting solution. I think a good way to make it better would be to let us put junk items into the scavenge station so that the settler assigned to it slowly salvages any usable part of the junk items. As a compensation for the extra time it takes for the settler to salvage the junk items you have placed into the scavenge station you will get more parts and material from every item. On top of that the random generation on funk items and material should still be there. All this would allow us to gain more control over what is scrapped without having to pour all junk items on the ground since the only items that are scrapped are the ones you have put into the scavenge stations inventory. It would also make for a good alternative to the Scrapper perk; but perhaps not as powerful. An additional bonus feature to this mod would be if the settler assigned to the scavenge station got better at the job the higher intelligence he/she has. It would give you a reason to give them clothing and armor with intelligence bonuses. Sturges could also be given a special perk that allows him to be slightly better at the job even without any stat-modifying clothing. Please make this mod!
