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.

There shouldn't be. However, if you find otherwise, let me know. I haven't actually played SE for a long time, so through testing on my part hasn't happened since well before they introduced Prototech.

To ask a clarifying question as I continue to adore the predicaments this mod presents: currently, there is no interaction between AwwScrap and Prototech behaviors?

Thank you for the fix - it works fine now on my end.
Very happy to have this Mod! ;c}

Mod Version: 3.7b [Released 29 Mar 2025]
* Added Stone Incinerator bypass so scrap doesn't get deleted.
* Update to attempt to sync mod settings between client and server.

Note that 3.7 had a bug - this has the same changes from that, hopefully without the bug.

Sorry folks, just reverted to the previous version.

I'll push the update for the incinerator shortly without the update to the configs.

My entire team cannot connect either

For clarity’s sake as well, only clients are failing to load, server loads up fine.

Thraxus, I seem to be getting an error on load when connecting to our servers using AwwScrap and AwwScrapIFoundYourCrap - It feels like it's since your update, but it could be anything I supose.

Nothing I can really do on that one unfortunately. Super yield modules already dupe materials from ore, Duping materials from components is really no different.
