Junkyard excavation guide covering vacuum scrap collection, furnace smelting, and backpack storage.
In Lost Bitcoin, players scour a massive electronic landfill on a mission to recover a misplaced cryptocurrency wallet. Starting with minimal supplies on the landfill surface, you must scavenge mountains of discarded junk, burn metal scrap inside the Furnace to generate initial currency, and reinvest those earnings into high-capacity tools and factory machinery.
Operating the Scrap Vacuum
Initial prospecting begins along the upper rims of the refuse pit. Equipping the handheld 
Scrap Vacuum allows you to suction small metal components, copper wiring, and loose debris into your onboard Tank. As you suck up dirt and garbage, the terrain clears away to reveal deeper strata. Upgrading vacuum Suction Area and container Capacity enables you to excavate broader trenches without constantly returning to empty your collection tank.
Smelting Scrap in the Furnace
Once your suction tank fills up, head back to the central processing platform. The primary Furnace incinerates raw debris and converts it directly into spending coins. Basic discarded parts yield around $2 each when thrown into the combustion chamber. When standing near the furnace mouth, players can double-tap the interaction key (F Key) to rapidly dump all collected materials directly into the flames, building steady initial capital.
Upgrading Backpack and Player Agility
Carrying bulky metal parts and discovering loose electronics quickly strains basic character inventory. Visiting the surface Shop allows you to purchase essential player upgrades. Prioritize Backpack Capacity and 
Carry Strength early so you can haul heavy scrap parts without being encumbered. Additionally, upgrading Sprint Speed and jump power helps you scale steep earthen embankments when climbing out of deep refuse trenches.
