Scrap

Resource mainly used for researching items into blueprints at workbenches or going down the tech tree, which allows for targeting certain items you want to acquire. It's also a type of currency, used for trading various items at the Scientist Outpost and the Bandit Camp. As such, Scrap is very valuable and essential at any point in the game.

Scrap can be easily obtained from recycling relatively useless, common components like Semi Automatic Body or Sheet Metal. However the recyclers are only found in monuments so it may be risky on high pop servers.

Somewhat quick way for a decent amount of Scrap:
If you come across a road/street/path, try and destroy every [url=https://rustlabs.com/entity/road-sign]Road Sign[/url]. They drop 1x [url=https://rustlabs.com/item/metal-pipe]Metal Pipe[/url] and 1x [url=https://rustlabs.com/item/road-signs]Road Signs[/url], both of which recycle into 5x [url=https://rustlabs.com/item/scrap]Scrap[/url] and a [url=https://rustlabs.com/item/high-quality-metal]High Quality Metal[/url].
