[SSRP (DarkRP) ][Suggestion] Glass Shards & Screws

SSRP Server Name: SSRP (DarkRP 1 and USA)
What is your suggestion: So, here's the deal. As you may know, hobos have the option to dig through dumpsters and find two new items: Screws & Glass Shards. Currently, they seem pretty useless to me as you don't need them to craft anything except the Steel Helmet.
It would be very nice if there were more expanded crafting & usage options for those two items. For example, maybe adding the requirement of screws to the Diamond and Black Diamond Printers (50 screws for the DP, 100 screws for the BDP) or adding the glass shards to some of the ammo. You get the point, pretty much add more functionality and need to those items so their value rises up. It would just add more work to craft those items, and in a server where inflation is insane now, this could be a wise move to slow it down a bit. The point is to make some items harder to craft, therefore they will be worth more and people wouldn't mind spending the time to craft them.
On top of that, I would also recommend that you allow players to use screws, glass shards and steel to craft regular weapons, not bought by gun dealers. I'm sure there have been a few weapons in the M9K pack have slipped through the cracks and have not made it to the F4 menu to purchase.
It would also be cool if we could have something sort of like the scrap thing (forgot what it was called in the F4 menu) where you could put different items and scrap them and then re-build them to potentially get something better. It would be cool if there was something like that for glass shards and screws where you have to fill up a bar up to like 1000 of each and then get the chance for it to drop something valuable.
How would if benefit the server: It would really help make the hobo job a bit more fun than what it is right now. Sure, you could use the dumpster right now to get some good stuff and the perks of being able to build anywhere is good, but it would just make it a lot better and pretty much create value around more items. It would be an interesting way to deflate the economy a little or at least give people who are new a way to kind of gain wealth in other ways.
Potential Issues/Exploits: If you make the crafting with those items more powerful/ or very weak it could be a big exploit in the economy or just never be used. The crafting/amount requirements should reflect the rarity of the items that are received/could be received.
Where would this Building/Improvement be added: To the F4 or crafting menu.
Additional notes: I know some people are going to think this is stupid, but in my opinion it would really help. I love the idea of allowing more complexity in the economy and this is one way to do it. Hopefully people understand this idea and have it implemented in the server soon.
