When you don't say anything, he just wanders back off. So you begin pulling wreckage out, finding most of it rusted in the worst places, and some of it rather useless in general. This is all irrelevant with enough heat, and your new focus should help plenty with that. First, you find a box. Then you put that box in a larger box, this one less rusty. Again with the boxes, until you think you have enough layers of scrap to hold the soon to be molten scrap for long enough to move it.
But first before there is any melting, you remove everything unnessesary from the Robutt, including the butt. The parts are used to make a makeshift frame for what looks vaguely lizard-like, and then you begin to pile up metals inside the boxes and melt them. A few
explode from too much heat at once, but not enough to cause major trouble. While it was all melting, you have an
idea, and start tearing out various gadgetry from the Robo Frame, rewiring it, heat-proofing it just in case it works. Next, you manage to keep the molten metal from falling on the ground as it comes out onto the frame and its newly reconfigured workings. Eventually you run out of melted scrap, but the Flare Beast is completed. Now it just needs to cool off before testing the new system which, if it works, should be much more useful than the flamethrower the Robutt had, though it needs the focus connected to work.
You feel rather cold as the last of the Overheat levels wear off from earlier and the fact that you've been hauling around snow-clad metals sets in. The junkyard guy shouts impressed things at you from his shack, and hurls a lantern in your general direction.
The sun has set.
