Farming

*Farming* (to farm) is a commonly used word in video games. By farming, repeating simple actions, you can get currencies or rare items. Farming is very common in Scrap Clicker 2.

## Farming in Scrap Clicker 2

### Farming Scrap

Scrap farming works greatly over night with the Offline Production upgrades, or with the x100 Scrap Ad Event. It's best done with highest barrel you can achieve.

### Farming Bricks

Bricks can only be farmed indirectly: by increasing the production by reaching a certain level (x2, x4 (level >50), x16 (>75) or x64 (>100) Bricks), which needs Merges; getting more Stars (x4); upgrading the Scrapyard v4 (1.5x); buying certain Tree Upgrades; or by using the x100 Bricks Ad Event, though it's generally advised to avoid the Ad Event. The Ad Event will give a very little boost in the time it will last (1 minute). This time is better spent Merging.

### Farming Stars / Magnets

Stars and magnets can be farmed the easiest with speed Merges:

* Faster Barrels Ad Event. It's suggested to use two thumbs to Merge Barrels. More information about it can be found in the Merges article.
* Upgrade Better Barrels to Level 0 or 100. Any other level will drastically slow your merging speed.
* If you will be away from the game or can't focus much into it, the Auto Merger Ad Event can be used instead. It will be quite slower than using the Faster Barrels Ad Event, but at least you won't stay at the same amount of Magnets you had before.

Farming Magnets and Stars after x10 Stars is pretty much the same, as you'll only be low on Magnets most of the time. You'll get a lot of Bricks and other useful resources in the process as well.

### Farming Fragments

This is easiest to do with the x5 Fragments or Faster Barrels Ad Events. Players don't farm fragments often, as they're really easy to get and you don't usually run out of them.

### Farming Steel Beams

Farming beams is possible using a trick which is known to the developer, but not removed. The bests ad events for this are auto merger, faster level ups or x5 fragments and the lock screen should be off. Then it's recommended to do something like watching a movie or doing something in the wiki and turning on the screen every ~60 seconds, collect the beam and make it off again. You can collect Steel Beams while merging as well.

A newer and a probably more efficient method is waiting for Steel Beam Storms.

### Farming Tires

Farming tires works like farming Steel Beams. Both are farmed using the same way.

If you're at x525 Stars or above, the most effective way to farm Tires is by speed merging, just as you'd farm Stars. This is because you can get a Mega Tire with 50 smaller Tires every 500 Merges, which take significantly less time to get than a Tire Storm. Furthermore, it's not a 20% chance like a Tire Storm: it is a 100% chance, you will always get a Mega Tire every 500 Merges just as you get a Mega Magnet every 500 Merges.

### Farming Mastery Tokens

To get the most Mastery Tokens for your Barrel Mastery, it is best to merge all Barrels you can reach except the few last ones (around 10-15) until they reach Level 1. When you're done, go on to Level 2. Repeat this process, adding one level until you got all the Mastery Tokens you need. Some players farm Mastery Tokens even after maxing all Mastery Upgrades just for fun. They might go to Level 20 right away to do so, or go on through all Barrels and adding 1 level when they're done with a certain level.

## Farming in ScrapTD

Farming in ScrapTD is possible too, but you can only farm Bricks, because you can't get Magnets in any safe and assured way. You can use this strategy to farm Bricks with a friend or teammate:

* At first, put down two Square Blues and then spam Circle Blue until you can afford Gatling Gun.

* Then, put down 1-2 Gatling Guns and spam Square Pink until you can afford Airstrike.
* Put down 1 Airstrike tower and send Banana Hole every 3 seconds until you can afford Shooting Box.
* Put down 1 Shooting Box tower and send Billboard every 2 seconds until you can afford Blue Laser. Build 3 of those.
* Spam Danger Zone until you can afford Tesla Tower.
* Put down 1 Tesla Tower and send Christmas every 3 Seconds until you can afford Gatling Gun II.
* Fill the rest of defense spaces with Gatling Gun II.
* In the end, you only have to send a Chrome every 1-2 seconds (it will depend in the level of your Chrome and the teammate's Gatling Gun II level) until you get the Tie! window. As usual, double your bricks and you will see a huge amount of bricks to your eyes.

### Takeaways to consider

* **IMPORTANT**: don't expect a foreigner to collaborate with you, this is almost always an agreement between members of the same Team. You've been warned.
* You'll need 15 Minutes to use this strategy, as it is the time a Match can take at most.
* Try not to kill the person you're farming Bricks with.
* Try not to play too offensively if farming, as this might generate stress both players and end badly. There's more than enough time to get to the last part. This strategy has been tested before, there's no need to rush.
* It might be good to carry around at least one Ad Token to make very sure you can double your Bricks. It's better to be safe from any internet issues.
* Doing this won't get you any Magnets. You'll need to fight against others and beat them to get them.
* Being in a higher Arena gives more Bricks. Every Arena multiplies the reward by x1.1 exponentially. This applies when playing even against people you don't know.
