How To Farm (&Use) Scrap in Coral Island

Despite the many quests and variety of content in Coral Island, a large part of your gameplay is resource gathering, crafting, and building. Of course, material like Scrap may seem unnecessary at the beginning, but you will soon realize that you need tons of it to do much of anything. As you level up your skills and professions, you will unlock many new buildings and devices that are impossible to create without Scrap. Of course, you can get some by clearing trash in your area, but that’s not the only way. So if your plans require more Scrap, we’re here to tell you all the ways to get and use it in Coral Island.

Coral Island: All Ways To Get Scrap

(Updated on August 13, 2024 – updated links and format)

First of all, it’s worth noting that you can get Scrap in Coral Island in three ways:

• Clearing trash piles with a Scythe.
• Inspecting Trash Cans.
• Using Recycling Machine.

The best way to farm a lot of Scraps is to use all three methods together, so let’s take it in order. The first way you should start is by clearing trash piles. It is lying everywhere, from the territory of your home to the beach and underwater expanses, so it won’t be a problem to find it. At the same time, Scythe is one of your start tools, so you can clear some trash as soon as you notice it. The chance of getting Scrap is far from 100%, but you will definitely get Trash, which will be helpful to you later.

The second way is to take a regular walk around the island. You can find Trash Cans throughout Coral Island, but the main concentration of these objects is in the eastern part of the city and surrounding areas. You can examine each Trash Can once per day and find a random item. Often, you will only get some Trash, but you can also find Scrap, fish, and other things.

Now that you’ve collected some Scrap and accumulated a ton of Trash, it’s time to create a Recycling machine and automate the process. Here is how to do it:

• First, you must reach Diving Level 2 to unlock access to this device.
• Next, collect x20 Trash, x30 Stone, and x15 Bronze Kelp and create a Recycling machine.
• Now, you can place it on your territory.
• Put 2 Trash in the Recycling machine, and you will receive one Scrap.
• You can put up to 40 Trash to create 20 Scrap in sequence.
