Description
This mod will turn any blocks that hit a grinder into scrap instead of the other base components.

No more inflation of components floating around in your game / server clogging up the need to go out mining / trading with others.

AwwScrap will return custom scrap components that mimic the components that are destroyed during the grinding process. So, for instance, when grinding a heavy armor block, you'll get "Steel Plate Scrap", and "Metal Grid Scrap" that will smelt down to the original materials that went in, minus some percentage based on the type of refinery you're currently using.

Components not recognized by AwwScrap will grind down into normal scrap at a 1:1 ratio.

Vanilla components and components from several mods (see the end of the mod description for a full list) are supported.

If you want some of your stuff back, see the Available Addons section. This is not included in the core mod as I feel it breaks the intent of the mod. However, I do recognize that vanilla AwwScrap can be really punishing in the beginning of a new game, or for beginners in general, so I've made "not so difficult" mode available via I Found Your Crap (addon, again, see below).

Current Returns
Large Refinery with 4x yield modules: 90%
Large Refinery with no yield modules: 45%
Basic Refinery: 45%
Lg/Sm Grid Skit: 45%

The different refineries will process scrap from the same components they can build.

The aim here is to make you and your friends think a bit more before randomly charging into battle without regard for repairs. It'll also force you to more creatively take out your targets if you plan to pillage and plunder your way through SE. Did you just damage that cargo container? Hope you have some spare parts laying around...

If you have an economy running, this will also help promote the component market.

Survival Less Likely is likely the issue. Splitsie overrode some refinery functions to make things harder. Good chance he didn't deal with the blueprint classes correctly when it did it. Imo you can remove it and not impact your game experience that much.

You're using a mod that changes refinery blueprint classes without disabling the blueprint classes it decided was unnecessary. Unfortunately common recently. If you hop in my Discord (link in the mod desc) I can try and help you figure out which and if there is anything we can do about it.

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't find any info. Reactor comps: Refinery, nor Basic refinery will smelt. What am I doing wrong?

Versionless update to add support for AceEndgameExpansionCE_3507747587

awesome thanks :) installing on server :D

It should work with Bob - don't know what Camp is, but so long as they follow the deconstruct rules of the block there should be no issues. Prototech parts should be ignored, so you should get what you expect when grinding them down.
CDClone 20 Jun @ 5:00pm 
does this work with Bob/camp ? or will they cheat around it?
do i still get the original scrap from prototech parts?

and either way, amazing ideer, when stealing a lot of prototech encounters and assert ships for those awesome thrusters i tend to drown in resources, this could probobly solve/reduce that "issue" :D :D :D

Haha, no worries. Glad to help! Enjoy!
