How it works

Two more searches per Dumping Ground visit. For players who scavenge often. Cannot be combined with Maimed.

Rating

BConditional choice

Two additional searches per Dumping Ground visit improve a scavenging plan. The finds are random and later attempts can have injury risk; they are not two guaranteed saleable items.

    Rock Bottom needs stock that costs no purchase cash. More searches support that recovery directly, provided finds can actually be sold or used.

    Hydroponic Farmer already has a growing kit; stabilizing water, power and sales usually matters more than adding random salvage.

    Chemist must reserve reliable contract inputs. Extra random finds cannot replace a planned ingredient supply.

    Rat Wrangler has substantial opening cash and a supplied herd. Feed and controlled harvests usually deserve the point before optional salvage volume.

Perks that work well with it

  • Short Sleeper

    Repeated scavenging outings don't cost you a normal customer the next day, so usable finds are easier to turn into trades.

  • Careful Scavenger

    The extra two searches offset the two-search reduction, leaving five base searches with no searching injuries before other modifiers.

  • Degenerative Osteoarthritis

    Two additional searches delay the point where the declining maximum falls below three. The decline still continues and eventually closes scavenging.
