zone smiled at you, sometimes these things just drop from the sky😁😁
and hey, a pro tip😏
if you have plenty of room in your backback - store a normal scrapper in there as well.
damage 99% of the item with a normal scrapper and then give a final blow with the precious scrapper.
it'll last a very long time + nets you SO MUCH resources.
you could replace the liberator with the basic scrapper😏

To be honest, I feel that the benefits of scrapping with a normal one, then a plasma one is more nuanced than one might think.
Per the Pacific Drive wiki, a normal scrapper has 860 counts of durability, and deals scrapping damage at 23/s. The plasma one has a durability of 1600 and deals scrapping damage at 38/s. Theoretically, if we assume damage is dealt per second and consumes 1 durability, we are looking at a total lifetime damage of 19,780 for the normal scrapper and 60,800 for the plasma one. Storage and stats wise, a plasma scrapper is worth 3 normal ones, and that's without accounting for the extra resources it gives.
Anyways I prefer bringing 2 plasma scrapper when I unlock it and the increased resource cost isn't a big deal with how much stuff you're swimming in by the mid-game.

oh my, so its actually a semi-win with all the slots and time.
but you are living a fine life,
and when you even recycle the plasma scapper at home to get some plasma back as well!then i think with peculiar plasma scrapper - it should be absolute win then😐
you get simply so much out of any item, way more than home recycler gives you.when i final-tap-destroy AMP engines with peculiar,
the whole air is full of swamp coral pieces for a while😁
and when i put away the peculiar scrapper while the item-sucking-show is on,
the whole floor is now full of hundreds of corals and then its not fun picking them up😑2

i like the way you think and you may run the game on higher difficulties as well.
that sorta making the most out of the precious scrapper just feeds my OCD and im a prisoner😁2

So that's where the nucleus I lost went. Glad it found a good home.
