I claim to be the first person to know how much metal you can scrap from the Alyamar and give a relatively definitive answer,
Its about 10,820 pieces of metal, with my 10% of margin of error I given myself. This does not include floor tiles, which can add another few extra thousand tiles easily. I am not counting that shit by hand, I already did it for everything else
There is so, so much scavenging to be done for the utterly motivated man or woman of the USCM accessible by even a Rifleman that it’s insane. I recall a Henry Marshall QM round where he had me as CT click somewhere between 1-2 thousand times to create like 300 metal out of spare guns and empty magazines.
Absolutely fucking deranged. I’m never doing it again. I loved every second. Every sheet was glee like I was a naughty kid who’d stuck her hand in the fucking cookie jar and gotten away with it. A lot of scavenging is like that- tearing up a stack of metal from a building and having not even gotten into the weeds with it is so good.
Shit like going to LV, or Trijent, knowing I’ll have rods from fences to weld into steel and even occasionally an autolathe to grant me that big boost of around 1.3x yield… it’s deeply rewarding to know each trick of the trade to wring metal from stone. I adore it. I’ll miss it.
