Here is how i used 500+ scraps to upgrade my terracore base today
For last few days i am doing good in terracore comapred to my performace in the past. I earned somewhere around 550+ scraps in last few days that i wanted to use and i have actually used them all leaving behind only few scraps that i will use in future for more upgrades.
My stats were at :
SS ( stash size ) was at 170, Favor was at 130, Engineering is still at 6, Damage was at 140, and, Defense at 110. You can check them out in the screenshot below.

As you can see i have 587 scraps and these are enough to give a huge boost to my terracore base. Now here are the list of stats i upgraded today by spending more than 500+ scraps. The upgraded stats are :
Damage : I upgraded damage by two levels today, so i took it from 140 to 160 and this costed majority of my scraps.
Defense - I also pushed defense up by one level, so now it is 120 for me.
Have a look at the stats that are now owned by my terracore base. I will share why i choosed these two stats today with all of you.

I was observing that the damage of our terracore base decides which players we can attack and that is the reason i upgraded it so that i can see high level players with higher loot amount to increase my scrap count at the time of claiming my mined scraps along with the looted scraps.
The defense was important as well as i was observing few attacks on the base so maybe this one level upgrade will help me defend the base in a better way. I don't know if that will work but if my calculations are right then it should work for me specially as i only have engineering at 6.

The logic is simple, at 120 defense i will have only 4 scraps that people can loot while others have quite higher amount at the same time. So people should avoid attacking me as they will always have a better option to attack with higher loot chances. Again i do not know if this logic will work but on paper it looks and sounds quite logical so i went with this without thinking much.
What more i can do in my base ? I think i will upgrade all the stats in coming days as i earn more scraps from the game. I don't want to invest in the game at the moment as i am doing good already.
Thank You

It is a nice boost and made some progress into the game. I work to boost my attack to 120, then defense at 140. Increasing slowly but surely!
