How to break down junk in Fallout 4
Easy peasy! Just head over to any Workbench you find scattered around the Commonwealth. Drop all that junk you've been hoarding into the Workbench's inventory. When you start crafting or building, the game automatically breaks down the junk into useful components for you. No manual labor required—you gotta love the future!

You don't. The game does it for you at crafting stations. Just enjoy the apocalypse and stop worrying about the little things!
Pro tip: If you're out and about and can't seem to find a Workbench, just pick up the junk. The game is smart enough to break down these items into their components automatically when you're crafting or building stuff at your settlements. It's like magic, but with more nuclear fallout.
Honestly, why even bother? Just hoard everything. You never know when you'll need that broken lamp or the 200-year-old teddy bear.
