Step 1: Navigating to the Ancient Debris Site

To find Ancient Scraps, you will want to journey down to the Swamp Biome located at the bottom of your map.

• Where to Look: Keep an eye out for unmarked ruins and unique metal deposits deep within the swamp's infected zones.
• The Timer Mechanic: When you enter these infected areas, a helpful challenge timer will appear, giving you a safe window of about three minutes to gather your resources. It adds a fun, fast-paced rush to your mining expeditions!

Step 2: Tools and Stealth Strategies

Before you head into the ruins, make sure you pack the right gear to make your trip a resounding success:

• Bring an Iron Pickaxe: You will need a sturdy tool to break down these ancient deposits, so ensure you have an Iron Pickaxe equipped before you head out.
• Handle the Guardians: A few local creatures like to hang out near these valuable points of interest. You have two excellent ways to handle them:
  1. The Direct Approach: Team up with friends or use your best weapons to clear them out.
  2. The Stealth Approach: Use your speed to safely sneak around the creatures, mine the deposits quickly, and slip away undetected!

Step 3: Unlocking Fantastic Base Upgrades

Risking the swamp is incredibly rewarding! Bringing these scraps back to your camp will completely revolutionize your crafting capabilities. Here is a breakdown of the amazing new items and stations you will unlock:
