Magnets

In Scrap 2
Magnets are the second resource you'll get in Scrap 2. They are important in the beginning, and even more later. With them you can buy six Upgrades (ordered from most to least important):

Upgrades
Faster Level Up (max. level 20): reduces about 1.6 Merges per level, up to about 32 merges at max level. This is very important because this will be your main magnet income.

More Golden Scrap (max. level 40): Gives +5% per each level. It is important to maximise GS (Golden Scrap) income to get Stars faster, even though it get expensive.

Better Boost (max. level 50): Gives +1% per each level to the bonus each GS gives. At the beginning level 9 is more than enough.

Offline Production (max. level 20): Gives +30 min to max Offline Production per level.

Better Storms (max. level 10): Reduces 6 seconds per level between Storms. This won't give you many magnets, but in the future will be better.

IMPORTANT: Try to upgrade every of them except Better Boost to max before 10 Stars.

From x11 on you'll use them to upgrade Stars.

In Scrap Clicker
You can get Magnets by opening gifts once a day (or you can touch the gift to reduce 15 seconds).

You can get more Magnets for every gift by upgrading the gift upgrade.

In Scrap Clicker you can buy two upgrades with Magnets (both have a max level of 10):
 * Auto-collect colored barrels: Increases chance by 10% per level.
