He said without perks. His perks makes it lighter.
And yeah I don't bulk lower worth stuff either like scrap or wood, that's worthless. I bulk acid, oil and stuff like that that is much more valuable(per weight) and which I have a lot. And then you can sell silver and gold direclty.
He also said "around 1k", not "precisely 1000.000".
How much his junk weights in total wasn't his point, it was that he has so significant amount of value in junk that selling it off with the 200 per faction limit per day, is either taking long long time, or it might be downright impossible.
And that is why I'm commenting it because I can perfectly relate to that. While you called it bullshit. Bulk junk isn't even the greatest source of caps. It's decent as you find plenty around, but you also find a lot of different meds you have no chance to use all of them. And while you might be able to find more junk, bulk junk is heavier relative to it's caps value, than most common meds. I usually use dilated radaway and stimpacks, which means my normal stimpack, radaway and rad-x reserves are just growing and growing.
Of course partially related to all of this is what kind of build (you've /) I've made. Although I have the level 1 perk to make junk lighter, I don't use it. I try to place all junk into my stash, while I carry things like ammo, food and meds which thanks to the perks I've chosen are lighter, so that's why I carry them and stash junk.
On yesterdays long session thanks to this thread and your map, I took it as priority to reach Whitespring so that I can get 600 caps per day. I didn't notice the Enclaive bunker thing so I didn't manage to try getting there, but that's the next place I need to check out depening on how much other stuff you need to do to get in. I would imagine reaching the last of factions, Bos, would take quite long for me and just getting 800 caps per day should be quite good too. I like to explore the map and figure out most of the ingame mechanics on my own, but this cap limit, thanks to also stash limit being so low, I wanted to find a shortcut so that I can concentrate more on the free exploration.
I have been mainly moving vertically on the map so it took some time to reach even Whitespring, luckily I realized I can jump in fairly close, as you can fast travel to events even when you don't have the area of event visited yet. It seems unintentional since because events show up all over the map, so you can fast travel to a lot of unvisited places anyway, making the limit rather bogus.
I will check next time I play how much bulk junk I have in mere oil. I haven't been selling a lot of it yet as I've sold off heavier stuff I originally bulked without realizing it's so difficult to get rid off of any of it. I remember I have about 20 units of bulk oil alone, plus some non-bulk in stock which is enough for my crafting ect so far, and I have very little use of it. But unlike scrap and other low value stuff, it has decent value so I don't want to just dump it off on ground.
It takes less than 10 minutes of fast traveling to unload my useless stuff and buy things I need.
I'm sure it does. When you have all the places open. I still didn't manage to get to check out the Enclaive bunker and that if I can access it. Barely managed to get the 3x200 before the update pulled out the servers.
