Scrapping sucks

[BFBlazer]

Please, for the love of god, add a quick scrap option that either automatically gives 1 scrap per part or a percent chance of 1,2 or 3 parts. Once we get to the point of the game where we are redoing cars and actually need scrap we have 15+ pages of scrap parts to do from one car. It is tedious and horrible. Also, more complex or larger parts should give more scrap.

I agree, It's incredibly tedious.

is it even worth the 50 credits for 200 scrap on each piece to add to a car? I find its not worth the trouble. I may one day make a car 3 star, but im sure i will be destroying a lot of parts doing it.

If you want a RNG set up for scrapping then it would have to include a percentage chance of getting zero scrap. It looks like Red Dot are trying to get away from using RNG in the game because of complaints about the repair RNG in CMS18 (it was a PITA getting a part to 90% repaired only to have it suddenly destroyed on the next click)

I think it is good for the repairing but the salvaging it has to be changed. It takes too much time.

[AugustsEve]

I've just been avoiding salvaging, not worth it at all.

It does seem very tedious if you put it that way... But I found a trick here: I only loot parts with existing upgrade stars from Junkyard/Barns so that I can disassemble them for increased scrap. Helps keep the time down, while at the same time make scrapping fun.

And of course, after every order, I head over to the scrapping bench to scrap replaced parts. You just need to make the time for that as quickly as possible, so you don't end up stockpiling and end up having a ton of neglected parts to process.

My main source of scrap is boxes, as it scales with your level. If im lucky i get around 500 scrap per lootbox. Usually I only upgrade parts if I intend to keep the car in my personal garage.

Got onto the game only now and i think the same, too much time and effort doesn't compensate the final value and spent of scrap pieces to upgrade one or many parts. If you have a bunch or plenty of them and want the max sell value of the car (or go perfectionist and do 100% of the car) this is good but is a choice

[astrofelix59]

Only use it on the special ones to max out performance parts, $ value added to other parts is less than selling the junk parts.
Not many cars need the extra % above what the tuned parts give or traction will allow.
What I get is from chests, 10 barn runs just for chests, 10 becomes 17, out of that I get 7-10 blue flips.
Gave a McLaren worth $19 million the princess treatment, only added 200-300k extra.
Took about 20k points, get 100-400 points per 100 parts scraped (the average build), just bad business. Waste of time better money had elsewhere.
Spend time in a metal box, in the desert, for no profit, yeah that looks like fun.

I do batches of 10 chests, get a roll going with a few more chests, end up with 10-15k blues.

just cheat for scrap. i play games for fun scraping isnt fun

[Beatnik59]

Sometimes, when I have a lot of scrap accumulated in the warehouse, I take on a bunch of customer orders. Each time I finish one, I go back to the warehouse and take all the parts of a given %, and work my way down.

Pacing yourself is the key to getting that scrap rendered down into salvage.

Why do you guys do not use option to scrap parts by condition?

We're talking about the scrapping area behind the garage. What you're talking about just gives you money for the parts.
