Mods are either "scrap to learn" or "learn from plan" - never both - see the plan and mod database below to understand which
9
The level of the item does not affect the chance to learn a mod
10
Whether an item is modded or not does not affect the chance to learn a mod (although see note on Black Powder Rifle)
11
SPECIAL stats do not affect the chance to learn a mod (one of the most common myths in the game)
12
Always choose the lowest level item to craft/scrap since it costs less materials
13
For energy weapons - you can use the Science Expert perk to reduce crafting costs
14
For all weapons - you can use the Backwoodsman 3 magazine to reduce crafting costs
15
For all armor - you can use the Armorer Perk to reduce crafting costs
16
For armor, scrapping any of arms/legs/chest allows you to learn mods from any of arms/legs/chest/helmet
17
For armor, it is usually best to scrap arms since they cost the least materials
18
Also, if light/sturdy/heavy variants are possible - always craft the light version as they cost less materials
19
The calculations do not take into account the materials you get back from scrapping
20
The scrapper perk and intelligence increases the materials you get back from scrapping
21
Armor mods and radium mods have drastically lower learn rates than other weapons
22
Always use the super duper perk when crafting to use less materials for the same number of scraps
23
The Black Powder Rifle has 1 mod: the "large bayonet" - unusually either the mod box or a pre-modded weapon must be scrapped to learn this
24
Combat and Metal helmet plans are learned by scrapping the helmets themselves noting that helmet mods are learned from scrapping armor pieces
25
26
How Scrapping to Learn Works
27
28
Each "scrap to learn" mod has a chance to be learned - this is hard coded in the game files and is not affected by SPECIAL stats
29
Each time you scrap a weapon/armor piece, the game will check the chance of learning all mods that you haven't learnt yet but you can only learn a maximum of 1 for each scrap
30
This means that the fewer mods left, the chances of learning any mod will be lower
