In order to collect shipments now i have to drop it on the ground and scrap it. I get the materials but the shipments won't work when i use the workbench. transfer to work bench manually or use the mass transfer. This has been going on since Automatron.

Same. I think its to stop the duplication glitch

They act just like junk now. .Just stick them in the workbench and they'll count as that item. You don't have to drop them on the ground and scrap them. They simply don't instantly turn into the broken down components until you craft something using those components. Like above poster stated, it's to stop the duplication glitch.

Well i was breaking things down in hopes to save on save bloat. To much junk in the trunk might be to much for a save after awhile.
