Scavenging station

A scavenging station is a constructible settlement item featured in Fallout 4.

Gameplay
All unemployed settlers will collect one random junk item per day, which is automatically added to the workshop inventory. A settler assigned to a scavenging station will instead collect two random junk items per day.

To assign a settler to the station, enter workshop mode, select the settler, target the station, and press assign. One can verify the assignment in workshop mode by highlighting the station and checking that the settler icon changed from red to the current UI color. One should see a crow icon while highlighting the settler and, if both the settler and station are within line-of-sight, the station they are assigned to will also be highlighted.

While the player character is at a settlement, assigned settlers will periodically interact with their station by using a blowtorch on it. Unlike workers assigned to crops and defenses, settlers will not work multiple scavenging stations even if they are placed in close proximity.

The scavenging station can be damaged during an attack on a settlement, but unlike most other settlement objects, it doesn't display any visible damage clues. To determine whether a scavenging station is damaged or not, it must be viewed while in the workshop interface. If damaged, the option to repair it will appear, which requires one steel and one wood. The damaged station will not produce resources until it is repaired.

Crafting
The scavenging station is located under Resources &#8594; Miscellaneous.
