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.

Anyone is welcome to re-upload AwwScrap in whole or in part, modified how they see fit. I do ask that you link back to this listing though so people can be exposed to the original work.

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 Jun 20 @ 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!

I just saw on its page, and, thank you! I appreciate both the reply and the flexibility inside the mod. That's what I get for not very thoroughly reading the other mod's page.
Thraxus  [author] Jun 12 @ 9:43am 
That addon is completely customizable. I don't have the code in front of me right now, but I believe the default settings are to only have a chance at returning materials from friendly grids. So likely not unlucky, just not configured to your desires.
Qobura Jun 12 @ 8:10am 
Is there a component to Found Your Crap that doesn't apply the component return to hostile grids? Or was I just tremendously unlucky with my 0-rank grinder?
Thraxus  [author] Jun 12 @ 5:52am 
Your statement is the first I've heard about any issues with IO. Hop on Discord (link in the mod desc) and send me some logs (AwwScrap's logs if nothing else, but SE's normal log as well usually helps) if you want me to look into it.

Anyone else having trouble with AwwScrap and Industrial Overhaul? I'm currently unable to refine scrap for Advanced Computers, Rubber, Synthetic Fabric, or Medical Components. I've put a lot of time in combining these two mods and never had this problem before. But I'm wondering if it's something I did or if anyone else is having this issue.
