Salvage station

[Xander Tyrann]

Does anyone have any info on what this actually does?
I'm kinda assuming that it generates salvage and puts it in the storage, but i've not really noticed it do that. Does anyone know for sure how it actually works?

[Flex]

Im also interested in this.

[culixstar]

i too wish to know its function

[shimiku]

as far as i know it generate junk as long you have ppl that working on it

[Ineedtoplaymybacklog]

Agreed I have been wondering g and have been googling haven't gotten a solid answer on this

[Oldwolf]

So MAYBE it generates salvage...I've seen the dude I assigned to it walk up to it and weld or grind it with a power tool that's about it.

[SLK]

i think it makes what you scrap give more materials, or i read it wrong and it makes scrap from nothing, which hasnt happened for me ever.

[Social Diseases]

It generates junk.

Maybe.

Or it makes it so that when you scrap things, you get more materials.

Maybe.

It's one of the endless list of things related to settlements that aren't explained at all.

If you want to make certain then start an outpost, clear everything out of the workbench, build a salvage station, assign it, and check it a bit later.

Yes it adds random junk to your workstation.

A simple way to test this is to have a settlement with people working on salvage stations.
Remove all the junk from the workstation, and store it somewhere else like Sanctuary.
Play the game for a while.

Come back to that settlement, and look in the workstation storage. All the new stuff there were added by your salvagers.

Apparently adds random junk to your stations once per day. Per station (which needs a settler assigned to it)

Bethesda needs to release a Settlements white paper.

Do you guys know if the benefits stack, or if they're 'shared' like traders?
I've tried to build and assign ten salvage stations in one settlement, and it doesn't seem to generate much more than another settlement with only one. Didn't spend much time testing this.

Im curious about this as well.

Though citizens unassigned generate junk on their own but its supposed to be "less". not sure if they mean in quantity or quality

The salvage station apparently collects your excess food from your plants and places it into the workshop. I'll be testing this for myself soon as my only real production settlement till now has been Sanctuary but will be building Covenent and Abernathy farm soon.

Excess food is collected and stored no matter what!
I've always had like 300 mutfruit in stock even before building salvage stations.
I don't feel they work. At one settlement I have ten, and I've never seen more than a single adhesive in stock at any time there

Does it collect the excess regardless of whether the items are ready to be picked? Currently I run between settlements every so often picking the items, always wondered if they first need to regrow everything before they'll eat or how it works.
