Fallout 4 junk items

General information
Junk items can be found in their own, unique section in the Pip-Boy. Primarily, junk items are for use in crafting, as they can be broken down into useful components, that can be further used to create everything from new equipment and ammunition, to even food and medicine. Junk items also have the unique ability to, when accessing a workbench, to automatically transfer all junk over with a single button, in which the items will then become available for all crafting needs at that particular settlement, and all settlements connected to it via a supply line.

Crafting components
 There are 31 base components, which cannot be broken down any further.

In the case of breaking down armor and weapons, only a fraction of the junk used in their creation will be returned, in which the rarity involved has four possible values...
 * Common: these components are always received
 * Uncommon: Scrapper rank 1 is required to receive these components
 * Rare: Scrapper rank 2 is required to receive these components
 * Zero yield: these components are never received, in which this value will only apply to adhesive and oil

Additionally, the original amount of components used to craft the item is multiplied by the scrap scalar, rounding down, when determining the amount of components received.
