Give scrap more uses early game

[arandomperson30]

As the title says. It feels odd that you can get a resource on day 1 that is practically useless until CC, I know you can make walls with it but there is no use for it otherwise pre rift. I feel it should be more like dreadstone as it drops from the same boss (kinda) but dreadstone has several uses before rifts while scrap only has one. One thing I would suggest would be a lightning rod upgrade. Make it so you can stick scrap on one and increase the protection radius. Another idea is making the scrappy pig drop the repair blueprint so wobot could be used a lot more pre rift. Maybe also give Winona some special uses for it? IDK

What does dreadstone get used for outside of just armor?

It costs five to open cave rifts, besides that there are walls, pillars,  and the shadow crafting station (which admittedly needs rifts to be useful). Wilson can also transmute but it's not really worth doing. I wouldn't be opposed to dreadstone getting more uses too. My main issue is that dreadstone is a pre-rift material with most of its uses being pre-rift. Scrap is a pre-rift material that is only really used post-rift (or right before you summon CC to get to the rifts).

warbis stuff should not cost a moon shard.
