Stars

Stars are a resource exclusive to Scrap Clicker 2 and is the primary measurement of progress in the game. Stars passively increase Scrap production similarly to Golden Scrap.

Purchasing Stars
The player's first 10 Stars are earned or "purchased" by resetting their Barrels, Scrap upgrades, and Golden Scrap. Each Star purchased requires the player to have accumulated a certain amount of Golden Scrap first and multiplies their Scrap production by 10 for each Star owned.

Unlocks
At 5 Stars, the player unlocks the Scrapyard, allowing them to spend Scrap to reduce the Golden Scrap required to purchase Stars. The Scrapyard becomes inaccessible once the player reaches 10 Stars. At 6 stars, the GS Multipliers are unlocked.

Upgrading Stars
Once the player has accumulated 10 Stars, the player can no longer purchase more; instead, at 4 million Golden Scrap (often referred to as "x10.5 Stars"), the player is afforded the ability to individually upgrade and increment the Scrap production multiplier for each Star.

In order to upgrade Stars, the player must spend Golden Scrap, Magnets, and Star Fragments. Because upgrades become more expensive the more a Star is upgraded, it is most cost-effective to upgrade them evenly. At the first few star upgrades, Golden Scrap and Fragments are the most expensive, but this changes until ~x30, then Magnets become the main problem of upgrading stars and at ~x90 they're the only one, if played right.

Star Bombs
Star Bombs are still a thing, invented by some fans in 2017. A star bomb is when 3 or more stars are upgraded at once, this is possible after x10, but shouldn't be done before reaching x30! It may sounds useless, the only sense of it is looking cool in the team, actually... that's the only reason why to do it.

There are some kinds of bomb:
 * 1-2 No bomb
 * 3-5 Very small bomb
 * 6-9 Small bomb
 * 10-15 Medium Bomb
 * 16-24 Big Bomb
 * 25+ Very big bomb, Crazy bomb, Awesome bomb

Trivia

 * Back in 2017 it was x99.999 instead of x100.000, for example. This got changed later.
