Machine Scrap is a distinct 1.0 material, and the Workshop is its documented point of interest target.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Workshop point of interest, especially large white barrels and electronics inside panel boxes.
In the 1.0-era method, Machine Scrap comes from large white barrels and electronics inside panel boxes at the Workshop. Bring a cutter and search those specific fixtures rather than relying on older Machine Parts advice.
Reach the Workshop and enter its accessible work areas.
Look for large white barrels among the workshop fixtures.
Inspect panel boxes for electronics that can be cut free.
Use the cutter on the barrels and suitable panel-box electronics.
Collect Machine Scrap from each harvested target.
Check the Workshop’s remaining rooms and fixtures before leaving.
Store the scrap for recipes that specifically request Machine Scrap.
Farming tips
Use the exact material name shown in your 1.0 inventory when planning recipes.
Older references to Machine Parts describe a different material and should not guide this search.
Repeat, collect and use
Search another Workshop if available and needed. The recorded method does not establish that cut targets respawn, so consider each cleared Workshop a finite salvage visit.
Common mistakes
Searching Radio Towers for this specific material: the documented target is the Workshop.
Expecting Machine Parts to substitute for Machine Scrap: confirm the recipe’s named input.
Cutting ordinary electronics outside the described fixtures and assuming guaranteed scrap: focus on the barrels and panel boxes.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have the Machine Scrap required by your current recipe, or when the Workshop no longer has the named salvage targets.
