'''Scrap''' is a rare [[Resources|resource]] that cannot be produced by any building. It is obtained exclusively through [[Expeditions]] and [[Trade|trading]], and is used as a construction material for building upgrades and advanced ships.

== Production ==
No building in the game produces {{Icon|Scrap}}. Unlike other resources, there is no production chain or building that generates it. This makes {{Icon|Scrap}} one of the most limited resources available, obtainable only through [[Expeditions]] and [[Trade|trading]].

== Consumption ==
{{Icon|Scrap}} is not consumed as an ongoing rate by any building. Instead, it is required as a one-time construction cost for upgraded buildings and advanced ships.

=== Building upgrades ===
The following buildings require {{Icon|Scrap}} to upgrade from their base version:

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Building !! {{Icon|Scrap}} Cost !! Upgrades From
|-
| [[Improved Windmill]] || {{BuildingData|name=windmill_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || [[Windmill]]
|-
| [[Improved Stone Crane]] || {{BuildingData|name=stone_crane_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || [[Stone Crane]]
|-
| [[Improved Clay Crane]] || {{BuildingData|name=clay_crane_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || [[Clay Crane]]
|-
| [[Improved Iron Mine]] || {{BuildingData|name=iron_mine_upgraded|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || [[Iron Mine]]
|}
</div></div>

=== Ship construction ===
Advanced ships require {{Icon|Scrap}} as part of their construction cost:

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Ship !! {{Icon|Scrap}} Cost !! {{Icon|Wood}} Cost
|-
| [[Medium Ship]] || {{BuildingData|name=medium_ship|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=medium_ship|data=cost|resource=wood}}}}
|-
| [[Large Ship]] || {{BuildingData|name=large_ship|data=cost|resource=scrap}} || {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=large_ship|data=cost|resource=wood}}}}
|}
</div></div>

== Storage ==
{{Icon|Scrap}} is stored alongside other resources in general-purpose storage buildings.

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Building !! Volume !! Notes
|-
| [[Center]] || {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=center|data=storage|resource=volume}}}} || Stores all resources
|-
| [[Square]] || {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=square|data=storage|resource=volume}}}} || Upgrade from [[Center]]; stores all resources
|-
| [[Warehouse]] || {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=warehouse|data=storage|resource=volume}}}} || Stores all resources
|}
</div></div>

== Other sources ==
=== Expeditions ===
[[Expeditions]] are the primary source of {{Icon|Scrap}}. Each expedition yields 3 {{Icon|Scrap}} per 1,000 hectares of territory explored, along with 15 of a random basic resource ({{Icon|Wood}}, {{Icon|Stone}}, {{Icon|Earth}}, or {{Icon|Glass}}) per 1,000 hectares. See [[Expeditions]] for detailed costs and rates.

=== Trade ===
{{Icon|Scrap}} can be bought and sold through the [[Trade]] system. The [[Market]] provides a trade capacity of {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=market|data=marketStorage}}}} units, while the [[Port]] increases this to {{formatnum:{{BuildingData|name=port|data=marketStorage}}}} units.

== Affected by ==
Because {{Icon|Scrap}} cannot be produced by any building, standard production modifiers have no effect on its availability. The following [[Choices|choices]] and [[Alliances|alliance types]] indirectly affect how {{Icon|Scrap}} is obtained:

<div class="rb-table-frame"><div class="rb-table-inner">
{| class="rb-table"
|-
! Source !! Effect !! Multiplier !! Description
|-
| [[Science League]] || Expedition cost || ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=scienceLeague|data=effects|resource=expeditionCost}} || Reduces the cost of [[Expeditions]], making {{Icon|Scrap}} cheaper to obtain
|-
| [[Trade Alliance]] || Trade costs || ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=tradeAlliance|data=effects|resource=exportCost}} (export and import) || Reduces both export and import [[Trade|trade]] costs
|-
| [[Export Focus]] || Trade costs || ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=exportFocus|data=effects|resource=exportCost}} export, ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=exportFocus|data=effects|resource=importCost}} import || Reduces export costs but increases import costs
|-
| [[Import Focus]] || Trade costs || ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=importFocus|data=effects|resource=importCost}} import, ×{{BuildingData|section=choices|name=importFocus|data=effects|resource=exportCost}} export || Reduces import costs but increases export costs
|}
