STARWASTE / Field guide
← NPCs & factionsRust Scavengers
Rusting pickers that crawl over the wrecks and strip them for parts. Cowards by design — a startled scavenger runs before it fights, so whether you catch one is always your choice. They trade what they hoard: plates and glass for wire and circuits, rarity for rarity. They will not touch ore or ingots — salvage is not a shortcut around mining.

Trade & contracts
Friendly traders offer barter, credit purchases, buyback and delivery contracts. Stock is finite and shared by the crew; it rotates every two home-world game days. Reloading or time spent outside the game does not refill it. Advanced goods still require research and expedition milestones.
