Position Upgrades

Position Upgrades are a feature introduced in Scrap Clicker 2 update 10.2. They are unlocked at x1250 Stars, the third upgrade at x2000, the fourth upgrade at x2250. They can be accessed from the list of Barrels, just like the Barrel Mastery. Players can spend Golden Scrap, Fragments, Mastery tokens and Magnets to boost the 20 barrel slots. They have no max. level.

Mastery boost
Every Position Upgrades level reduces the merges required for Barrel Mastery by x0,9999. This way, the 22k required for level 7 can be reduced to 20k or even less, for example.

Upgrades
There's 4 different upgrade types, Golden Scrap, Fragments, Mastery tokens and Magnets. Each upgrade type makes Barrel Mastery easier and has an unique effect. There's 20 slots that can be upgraded - the 20 barrel slots. For formulae: $$L$$denoted the current level of the positional upgrade, which is shown in both menus. Cost is the amount to level from $$L$$to $$L+1$$.

Golden Scrap
+0,5% Chance to get twice the Level Up progress for a Merge into this position

Formula: $$1,000,000,000 * (L+1)$$

For example, level 0 to 1 costs 1 billion, 9 to 10 costs 10 billion.

Fragments
+1% Chance to get x10 Wrenches from a Merge into this position

Formula: $$10,000*(L+1)*(\lfloor L/10 \rfloor +1)*k(L)$$, with $$k(L)$$given in the table below. Table of values for reference:



Mastery Tokens
+1% Chance to get a Steel Beam when a Barrel spawns in this position

Formula: $$L+1$$

For example, level 0 to 1 costs 1 token, level 24 to 25 costs 25 tokens.

Magnets
Get +10% more Fragments for converting a Barrel in this position

History

 * 10.2: Added Position Upgrades

Trivia

 * It's recommended to spend most GS, Fragments and tokens on the upgrades quickly, only leaving a little bit for Tree Upgrades and stars.
 * For most players, upgrading the bottom row with GS and Fragments is useless.
 * iOS got it a lot later than Android, which is unusual for big features. In exchange they got the barrels of the next update 10.3 earlier.
 * The magnet position upgrades were originally intended to cost Steel Beams.
