Is junk shared between supply line settlements?

[boeriemore]

At Sanctuary workbench I have plenty junk items but they are not displayed at other settlements.
I am aware that certain items are not shared, like weapons, but surely junk items must be otherwise whats the point of having supply lines?

You'll still be able to build with them, yes. Same goes for cooking food stored in another workshop.

The rough materials that you can have from junk items, are shared between all workbench, but just as amount of. You will not see the junk items on other Workshops, but they will count in the sum of available Aluminium, Wood, etc.for ex.
+ It seems that Supply lines move junk items too between settlements.
Once, I "cleared" all the Workshops in all my settlement moving everything in Sanctuary Workshop. After a while, checking the various Workshops, I noticed that there were again some junk materials.

I think the new junk items found in workshops might be from the settlers, actually. I've had this happen in settlements with no supply line, and even when there are no scavenging stations present.

All settlers scavenge while doing their jobs. Haivng an idle settler increases the output, putting a settler as a scavenger increases it even more.

Even if, as said, there are not Scavanging Stations?

Huh?

[NicShadow_IT]

= The settlers are collecting junk items even if there are not Scavenging Stations?

[Lee]

That's what he's saying, yes. Having scavenging stations (and having them assigned) will only increase production of junk.

Mh-mh. Ok, thanks.

Back to op, as long as you assign settlers to routes between settlements they can draw raw materials for building, upgrading, and repairing. It's usually easiest to dedicate one settlement to do routes between each.

You're welcome.

The best supply routes is letting the smaller settlements do the running. Smaller settlements have less working space.

For example. It makes more sense to have the settler in Red Rocket to do the supply route to Sanctuary because Red Rocket is tiny and Sanctuary is huge.

In my first playthrough I didn't quite grasp the fact you don't actually have to link EVERY settlement to every other settlement via a supply line. Now my first character's map looks like spaghetti junction and there's about 10 provisioner brahmins all falling over each other and climbing up walls at each camp. Duh. I'll have to sort that out at some point.

@Jojo... that sounds like a recipe for a bovine roof party :DD, but hey, doing it that way does mean you can have a few shootouts with fellow provisioners on more spots now. It still cracks me up when I see my guy/gal with a cow storm ANY hotspot on the map single handed.

On topic, not only is water/food/junk shared, stored mods can be accessed via supply line, too (but you'd only know if you picked one you had if the recipe does not use junk on crafting)
