Scrap

Scrap is a gameplay mechanic in Lambda Wars.

Description
Scrap is used by both the Rebels and the Combine for different purposes.

Rebels
The Rebels use Scrap to construct most buildings and to train almost every unit.

Combine
While the Combine do not directly use Scrap, they do use the Scrap Piles to generate Power.

Rebels
To gather Scrap for use as the Rebels, one must first build a Junkyard, (preferably close by the piles.) Then, the player needs to select one or more Engineers, and either right-click on the Scrap Pile, or choose the Gather Scrap option and left-click on the Pile. The Engineers will then automatically start to pick up a piece of Scrap, and take it to the Junkyard, where it will be added to the player's Scrap count in the bottom-left corner of the HUD.

Combine
For the Combine to use Scrap to generate Power, the player must use a Stalker to build a Scrap Power Generator on the pile. This can be left alone to generate power, more power than a regular Dark Energy Reactor creates. (note that if the Scrap Pile is outside of the player's base, it is subject to enemy attack.)
