This has been my issue - most of the stuff breaks down into nothing, a few things dont deconstruct at all, and stuff that looks like it should be a container cant be used. Also, at least for me, the trade terminal in the safe house cant be interacted with, so I dont know what I'm supposed to do with the stuff that gets looted out of sports bags and military crates.

Obviously a massive effort, and I love so much about this mod - just really counterintuitive, and conflicts with the sort of scavenger playthrough it seems like it should be made for.

The items from the mod are not the vanilla ones nor DLC, all assets are custom from the mod, so these 2 mods that you commented are not applying to these "new" junk items added from this mod.
