Scrap

General

Production

No building in the game produces Scrap. Unlike other resources, there is no production chain or building that generates it. This makes Scrap one of the most limited resources available, obtainable only through Expeditions and trading.

Consumption

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 Scrap to upgrade from their base version:

Building	Scrap Cost	Upgrades From
Improved Windmill	100	Windmill
Improved Stone Crane	100	Stone Crane
Improved Clay Crane	100	Clay Crane
Improved Iron Mine	100	Iron Mine

Ship Construction

Advanced ships require Scrap as part of their construction cost:

Ship	Scrap Cost	Wood Cost
Medium Ship	10	4,000
Large Ship	100	8,000

Storage

Scrap is stored alongside other resources in general-purpose storage buildings.

Building	Volume	Notes
Center	5,000	Stores all resources
Square	10,000	Upgrade from Center; stores all resources
Warehouse	5,000	Stores all resources

Other Sources

Expeditions

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

Trade

Scrap can be bought and sold through the Trade system. The Market provides a trade capacity of 1,000 units, while the Port increases this to 5,000 units.

Affected By

Because Scrap cannot be produced by any building, standard production modifiers have no effect on its availability. The following choices and alliance types indirectly affect how Scrap is obtained:

Source	Effect	Multiplier	Description
Science League	Expedition cost	×0.8	Reduces the cost of Expeditions, making Scrap cheaper to obtain
Trade Alliance	Trade costs	×0.9 (export and import)	Reduces both export and import trade costs
Export Focus	Trade costs	×0.85 export, ×1.2 import	Reduces export costs but increases import costs
Import Focus	Trade costs	×0.85 import, ×1.2 export	Reduces import costs but increases export costs

+[[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.

+{{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.
