Scavenging

Scavenging is done by using scavenging tools on the various garbage piles that spawn in the ruins (Using item visor they will be labelled as a garbage piles). To scavenge, hold your choice of tool in hand, right click until the use option shows up if needed, then left click on garbage piles with the yellow cursor to begin scavenging. After scavenging a garbage pile it will disappear, respawning anywhere between 120-360 minutes later.

The formula for the amount of junk received from scavenging is as follows: 0 + (+-1 or 0, depending on tool used) + (0-2) + (Scavenging skill / 50).

Tools and Super tool kits will give +1 for loot received, whereas Shovels, Spades and Armatures will give a -1 penalty. Crowbars give no penalty or bonus to scavenging. There is a 50% chance to receive 1 piece of junk from scavenging if the formula dictates 0, and the maximum amount you can receive is 9.

Scavenging is the primary source of junk, metal scraps, as well as some other crafting materials.
