After feedback from the community and discussion within the team, we decided to remove the scrap resource from the Combine faction. Now, Combine once again have two resource types: Requisition and Power. The Power resource can be gained through either power generators or by placing a special version of the power generator on scrap piles. The last one generates Power at a much higher rate than the regular power generator.
The changelog for this update is:
