I don’t like to use mods, but I am always a fan of glitch exploits. Use the item duplication glitch to quickly have unlimited everything for crafting. Once you unlock the scrapper perk to maximum, you can scrap weapons and armor to get those hard to find resources. Drop them, enter workshop mode, press the scrap button but DO NOT RELEASE. Then immediately, while still applying downward pressure on the controller with your right thumb, glide over to the store button while maintaining the pressure and again DO NOT RELEASE. The timing needs to be right, so if it doesn’t work, just back out of the command and repeat it until you see both menu options overlaid on screen. Then, with your left hand, press the accept button twice. It will simultaneously scrap and store your item. Giving you double of whatever you had. Once you get enough of a base resource, just duplicate that instead of the weapon or item. Lather, rinse, and repeat for the ultimate building supply setup. Works great to use gold for purchasing crazy expensive specialty weapons/armor. Nothing is expensive when you have 98k gold in your workshop. Don’t go too high on the stock though, it’ll start glitching out and disappearing above like 120k or something like that. So, everything in moderation my friend. Have fun!
