Obtaining them isn’t that difficult, and you can end up finding them without putting a lot of effort. Here is a detailed guide on finding Salvageable Scrap in No Man's Sky.

Finding Salvageable Scrap in No Man's Sky.

The Secondary Mission of Corvette Assembly in No Man’s Sky requires you to excavate advanced modules for the Corvette. Besides being the base for the aesthetics of the ship, the modules enhance specific stats, including damage, shield strength, and more. You will have to excavate these modules from Salvage Containers that are found buried on certain worlds. Essentially, you can scan planets with the starship scanner to detect the buried Salvageable Scrap in No Man’s Sky. Following the release of the Voyagers update, you are more likely to find the scrap on the planets. Here are the exact steps that will help you do so:Scan for planets with Salvageable Scrap

To get started, you must use your scanner while you are in space to identify planets containing salvageable resources. When you scan a planet, salvageable materials will appear as a yellow Salvageable Tech icon. You must basically find planets listing "Salvageable Scrap" among their available resources.

Use the Analysis Visor to find the exact location

After you have managed to land on a planet with the scrap, you can activate your Analysis Visor to locate buried treasure sites. This visor will help you in the process of highlighting salvage containers and their protective casings, which appear as glowing markers in your FOV. Sometimes, these sites can be partially visible above ground, making them easier to spot.

Mine the Salvageable Scrap using tools

Finally, you can mine the Salvageable Scrap using tools like the Terrain Manipulator. However, you will have to destroy all Protective Casings before you can access the central Salvage Container.

This was all you needed to know about finding Salvageable Scrap in No Man’s Sky. You can now build your dream Corvette Ship in the game and explore the world.
