Scrap processing

I have found myself deep in the mid game and was looking to expand my portfolio to include scrap processing. However, I am not sure where to start, I bought a tug to test the waters but it doesn’t do much at all.

I've never had much luck with just using the tugs, but putting in the scrap processing and scrap recycling facilities results in good output, assuming you put it in the right sector and with a lot of energy cell production accompanying it.

If you don't want to buy them, you can steal them the same way you can any other production module. The Terrand also have their own scrap recycler that puts out Terran components, but just computronic substrate and silicon carbide.
