Scrap

Scrap is a craftable resource added in 0.9.0. Using the large shredder or medium shredder, Astroneers can dump debris (e.g scrap metal from crashed ships, pieces of destroyed equipment) or certain unwanted items. Each item shredded will yield different amounts of scrap, until the scrap piece is full and a new slot is taken. A full scrap can then be traded (it's main use) or researched in the research chamber for 500 bytes.
