What can I safely store in my workshop?
So junk will be used if you don't have the raw material. What about weapons and armor? Will these stay safe or will it scrap them once it runs out of junk? What about items that don't turn into junk at all (like bubble gum)?
Best Answer
As discussed in this answer, which goes over the component creation process in detail, Fallout 4 only automatically "liberates" the components from junk items.
In writing the component creation answer I confirmed this with science. I created situations where it would have needed to liberate components from items of the following types, but it didn't liberate them:
- Weapons
- Moddable armor
- Non-moddable armor
- Clothing

If for some reason you don't want to use tool boxes, plastic bins will work. Put small parts like the nails, drill bits, and screws, in a plastic parts container, so you can keep them separated by size and type. Put these in the plastic bin. Wrap each tool and put it in the bin as well.Where else would you keep tools in a workshop?
Drawers. Drawers are a good place for small tools and, in particular, for sharp ones. A cabinetmaker's bench, for example, has drawers that suit chisels, scrapers, and other hand-held shaping tools. A shallow drawer is appropriate for small tools like jeweler's drivers, alien wrenches, drill bits, and saber-saw blades.How to Store Wood in Your Workshop
