Scrap is a resource in Astroneer that can be traded to obtain other resources.

Source[]

Scrap may be obtained by placing most player-made items, or any wreckage marked Debris into a Icon Medium Shredder Medium Shredder, Icon Large Shredder Large Shredder or Icon Extra Large Shredder Extra Large Shredder. Items that are too big to be placed in a shredder, such as a Icon Large Shuttle Large Shuttle or any extra large platform, may be blown up with Icon Dynamite Dynamite to break them down into smaller, shreddable debris.

Each item shredded will yield different amounts of scrap, and any partially complete stack of scrap will remain in the Shredder until enough scrap has been collected to create an entire nugget of scrap. When a nugget of Scrap is complete, it will be stored on the same vehicle or platform as the shredder, assuming that there is enough storage space for it. If there is not any storage for the shredder, the Shredder will stop operating until the scrap has been removed.

Scrap may be easily obtained through the use of the Icon Soil Centrifuge Soil Centrifuge. Gathering enough Icon Soil Soil to turn into Icon Clay Clay, the player may smelt it into Icon Ceramic Ceramic and craft Icon Drill Mod 1 Drill Mod 1, which may then be shredded into Scrap. Doing this method will yield 3 Scrap for 2 canisters of Icon Soil Soil.

Resource Scrap Value[]

With the exception of Icon EXO Chip EXO Chips, resources cannot be directly shredded, but their scrap value can be deduced from the item recipes that use them. The scrap amount obtained from a printable item is always equal to the sum of the scrap value of all the resources it was directly printed with. Some resources cannot be directly used to scrap items, and as a result, have unknown scrap values.

Uses[]

Alternatively, Scrap may also be researched for 300 Bytes at the Icon Research Chamber Research Chamber.

Scrap could also be used to print event items for the Project CHEER Delivery LTE.

Notes[]

Trivia[]

  • Before the release of the Icon Extra Large Shredder Extra Large Shredder, many of the larger broken objects were marked as Detritus. This was due to the size limitations for items accepted by the largest shredder at the time, the Icon Large Shredder Large Shredder. Now, many of these objects are shreddable, and have been reclassified and marked as Debris rather than Detritus. However some can still be found named as Detritus
  • Before Patch 1.9.8, Platforms were not shreddable.
