How do I process scrap when NOT in VR

[Bugs]

My friend and I play this, we aren't using VR (I know I know) we have the option to process scrap. I hold the mouse button down till it's complete, but when I go to the repair depot it says I dont' have any. I'm really confused by this mechanic.

Hey,
1. You stand in front of the scrap box (when talent unlocked & you already jumped one time since logging into the game)
2. You press R (or whatever you bound you interation key to) but NOT till it is "complete". You release the button when it hits the MIDDLE of bar. It is a timing mini game! If you succeed, the scrap box will disappear from your cargo hold. If not, you get one "strike". After 3 strikes you have to wait for the next jump to try again.
3. You head to a repair depot. You go to your upgrader screen in engineering and upgrade the components you want to and have enough scrap for. Or you upgrade your guns and tools on the upgrade station whenever you want (no repair depot needed for this).

Hope this helps!
