Metal Scrap
A pile of metal. Definitely useful for crafting.
Overview
Metal Scrap is a basic crafting resource represented in-game as a pile of metal. It functions as a general-purpose component for crafting and item creation and is explicitly described in multiple language localizations as "a pile of metal" that is useful for manufacturing and crafting processes.
As a crafting material, Metal Scrap is intended to be consumed by recipes and construction plans that require metal components. Its role is purely material rather than consumable-use or equippable: it exists to be combined with other resources within crafting systems to produce tools, parts, or finished items that incorporate metal. The consistent description across languages emphasizes its straightforward purpose as a building block for crafting rather than any special or unique effect.
Practical notes and usage guidance:
- Identification: visually presented as a lump or pile of metal; labeled in-game as Metal Scrap. Multiple language localizations convey the same basic appearance and purpose.
- Primary function: used as a component in crafting recipes that list metal or scrap material as an ingredient. Keep Metal Scrap on hand when planning to craft metal-based items.
- Inventory management: prioritize carrying Metal Scrap when preparing to perform crafting sessions or repairs that require metal components. Because it serves as a raw crafting input, running out of Metal Scrap will block recipes that require metal.
- Resource combination: Metal Scrap is typically intended to be combined with other materials (wood, cloth, electronics, etc.) in recipes that produce functional items; check recipe requirements to determine exact quantities and complementary materials.
- Long-term planning: for players focused on advancing equipment or infrastructure that depends on metal parts, maintaining a reserve of Metal Scrap reduces interruptions to production and crafting workflows.
No source specifies numeric values, stack sizes, gather methods, or economic worth; consult in-game recipe lists or resource screens for exact amounts required by particular crafts. The consistent multilingual descriptions confirm Metal Scrap’s role as a simple but necessary metal component for crafting.
