Tek Dino loot on The Island (use for Element Dust)

[bsmorgan]

The 292.100 patch changed the loot dropped from Tek dinos to include Scrap Metal, Electronics, Oil, and Element Dust. The Smithy can process Scrap Metal into Scrap Metal Ingots which appear to be useable where Metal Ingots are used. Electronics and Oil have a use on The Island. Element Dust, however, doesn't currently appear to have a use on The Island.

Please correct me if I am wrong. If I am right, then something obtainable on The Island should be modified to convert Element Dust into Element Shards or Element.

if u travel to extinction, learn the unstable element shard/unstable element engrams then travel back to the island, then u will be set to convert that dust to shards and element

I think what he meant was if you don't have access to extinction then u can't use dust.how3ver  dust is used a lot for trading 1k dust is 1 element and alo5 of people lik3 to buy things with dust so even though u can't use it you can use it for buying dinos eggs gear bp etc

On island, if you build a replicator, you can craft scout and enforcer. So dust can be very useful for those. My official cluster doesnt have extinction, so I can say for sure I never learn them and dust have small use on the island.

Or you can use it in custom food recipies - dust gives the best values for the lowest weight of all the stuff you can use in those.

if you don't have extinction then the only use is to power drones and enforcers, but I hope that it will change.
