Advanced Scrap Tea

The scrap tea for a planned barrel route: a moderate boost to scrap from barrels. Pays off on a long loop of roads and monuments, not on a handful.

Overview

In-game description
An advanced scrap tea, temporarily increases the amount of scrap you receive from barrels a moderate amount.

Plan the route before you drink. The game text gives this cup a moderate, temporary boost to the scrap you get from barrels, and that only adds up when you break a lot of them in a row: a stretch of road, the barrels scattered around a big monument, the next road and back home.

Pros

Cons

  • A clear step up from the small boost of a Basic Scrap Tea
  • Works on every barrel you break while it lasts, on roads and at monuments alike
  • Turns a long barrel loop into research and blueprints sooner
  • Mixed from several basic cups, so it costs a lot of berries
  • Barrels only: crates and the recycler are not in its description
  • Wasted if a fight stops the loop halfway

The cleanest use is a group that sends one runner on barrels while the rest farm. Brew that runner's cup at the Mixing Table the night before. Above it sits Pure Scrap Tea, which promises a large boost but eats advanced cups, so it only makes sense when someone runs barrels for hours.
