2465 Scrap on Artifice 

TO THOSE WONDERING IF THIS IS MODDED OR NOT: the only two mods we had were MoreItems (which is required for high quota runs) and ShipLoot so that everyone can keep track of our total easier, but I still keep a spreadsheet to track that information anyways. The game is completely unaffected, it would've been the same outcome in pure vanilla.
I believe this is the World Record for most scrap collected on a single day - 2465. I have seen nobody else get a day this high, but I will change the title if/when somebody has/gets a better day.
