Scrappers

Scrappers are a group of production blocks that are manufactured by each corporation. They are used to dismantle blocks from a specific corporation that the specific Scrappers corresponds to, into resource chunks or components.

Scrappers allow the player to recycle non-needed blocks, and either turn them into some other blocks via crafting or sell the ingredients for Block Bucks through Delivery Cannons. As a production block, they have their own anchor, and must be attached to an anchored tech for it to work.

Scrappers can be used to "unpack" Compacted Resource Blocks, that are used for the long-term resource storage.

Scrappers also provide an alternative to mining resources, since blocks are reliable in their output. For example, quite abundant GeoCorp structural blocks and wheels reliably output titanite, which is not available from the seams and not renewable by other means, and almost all weapons output either Carbite Ore or components manufactured from it, which can be used for other weapons or other important blocks.

Block Magnets can feed into Scrappers, given that they are in the scrapper's range and there is no SCUs in the vicinity, which take over the priority.

Scrappers can store up to 6 blocks in their input port, making them competitive means of storage, that outperforms GSO Mixed Lotsa Silo (with exception of Venture variant, which is only half as good). However, full 6-stack can be easily knocked out during the movement.
