Is it normal to have scrap on such a small island?

yes. the smaler islands usually have much more scrap than the larger ones.

you can transport scrap via elevated rail to a more spacios island for processing

oooooooh that's a nice idea
do you think i can manage to cram in 30 sciecne / min
on my island

its probably easier in the long run to just expand
but i dont know the ratios and space requirments to know the possible rates
having manufactoring on a seperate island also alows u to import scrap from multiple places
in case one is used up or not enough

on another note, do you know if it's possible to transfer over electricity to that small island
the power poles don't reach ðŸ˜
dense cedar
Yeah the issue i have tho is that it isn't even nearly enough :(
reef light
its easyer to just have sperate powergrids for each island
the larger the island the more powerpoles fit
and lighning collectors
dense cedar
ooh lightning collectors are better?
reef light
yes, also they are upgradable with quality
just collecting more lightning was always enough for me
dense cedar
neat

Large islands have space but no scrap
Medium islands have a mix
Small islands have no space, but many scrap.
You'll want to make some elevated rails, and to have your small scrap mine islands have their own lightning collectors.
You also can use ice and solid fuel from scrap to get some steam power going.
Solid fuel is wildly plentiful, and ice usually is obtained in excess as well. You'll have to get rid of it somehow

Accumulators also have 100% scaling per quality tier. So an uncommon accumulator is worth 2 normal accumulators. You are meant to try and get some combination of uncommon and rare accumulators to help with power, given you can trivially make them.

a medium Island can produce 5/s with a mix of prod/speed/efficiency
A small island focused on efficiency/speed should be able to handle 0.5/s, getting enough scrap processed will be the difficult part
Much easier to ship to another island

Yeah, until you get foundations you're gonna have to make peace with the limited space each island has. There's only so much production you can feasibly stuff on one of those, and if you're dealing with scrap you're dealing with at least 12 separate items and you probably only want like 4, and they're the less common of that bunch.
The science pack overall needs (between the various crafts) green circuits, batteries, holmium ore AND plate, plastic, copper plates, ice for cracking to light oil and making holmium solution, iron plates, and stone. Everything else is probably gonna be returned unto monke.
