Aluminum Fragments are small cut pieces of aluminum, the result of breaking down larger scrap. They serve as a light metal material for electrical crafts.
Their main use is in makeshift radios. The Make Makeshift Radio, Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie and Make Makeshift Ham Radio recipes all accept them, along with the Make Aerosol Bomb recipe. Each radio recipe belongs to the Electrical skill.
Fragments come from the Break Down Metal recipe. One piece of Aluminum Scrap cut with a metal saw, bolt cutters or a small saw gives five fragments. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The makeshift radio recipes take any aluminum material, and fragments fill that slot. Make Makeshift Radio needs Electrical level 1. Make Makeshift Walkie Talkie needs Electrical level 2. Make Makeshift Ham Radio needs Electrical level 3. A working radio keeps a survivor in touch with broadcasts and other survivors.
The Make Aerosol Bomb recipe also accepts aluminum by its type. It needs no skill level.
Aluminum Foil does the same job in all four recipes. Both weigh the same and carry the same scrap metal value. Fragments are the easier choice once a supply of Aluminum Scrap is on hand. Foil is the easier choice in a town full of kitchens.
How to Get Aluminum Fragments
The Break Down Metal recipe makes Aluminum Fragments. It takes one piece of Aluminum Scrap and a cutting tool. A metal saw, bolt cutters or a small saw all work, and the tool is kept. Each piece of scrap gives five fragments. Aluminum Scrap itself comes from cutting up large aluminum objects.
