Scrap Mechanic Build, break, survive together

Crash-land on a robot-infested farm planet and tinker your way through it, alone or with friends.

Is Scrap Mechanic worth it?

Scrap Mechanic is worth it if…

  • you like building cars, bases, and weird machines from spare parts
  • you want co-op survival where farming feeds directly into combat
  • you enjoy open worlds with stories, mines, and robots to outsmart
  • you like creative sandboxes with hundreds of parts and mods

Screenshots

From scrap piles to working machines

You start with junk and a tool belt, and end up with cars, traps, automated machines, and a base that keeps your loot safe. The building set covers blocks, bearings, suspension, engines, and logic for moving parts, so a walking house or a transforming vehicle is fair game. Creative mode hands you over 400 parts to mess with, plus mod support with more than a thousand player-made additions. When physics cooperates, even an ugly wobbler that barely drives feels like a win.

Surviving the haywire farm planet

Survival mode drops you into an open world as a stranded mechanic, with haywire Farmbots roaming the fields. You explore for treasure, team up to build vehicles and bases, and follow a story that leads down toward the planet's core. Staying alive means thinking fast and reusing what you find. Expect to scrap, craft, run when outgunned, and come back with a better machine and a fuller pocket.

Farming, fighting, and digging deep

Crops do double duty here. You plant, water, and defend them from raids, then harvest for food, ammo, and crafting. Your Spudgun literally runs on garden produce, which makes every farm row feel like a magazine. When ready, you bolt drills onto a creation and chew into the abandoned mine for treasure and secrets. It is farming with turrets, seat turrets, grenades, and robots crashing the harvest.

Trials, co-op chaos, and a fresh coat of paint

The Master Mechanic Trials offer 40 built challenges to test driving, building, and problem-solving, and you can make your own to share with friends. Survival and Creative both support multiplayer, so one friend can weld while another drives the getaway tractor. You can also dress your mechanic with mix-and-match clothes unlocked through missions, vendors, and hidden garment boxes. Duct tape chic counts.

What else should you know?

What do I actually do in Survival mode?

Explore a generated world, build vehicles and bases, farm crops, fight haywire robots, dig in the mine, and follow the story toward the planet's core. Quests, vendors, and hidden loot unlock gear, clothes, and recipes along the way.

How does building work?

You connect blocks, wheels, bearings, engines, and logic pieces into machines that move and work under physics. Build scouts for travel, haulers for loot, defenses for raids, or automated contraptions just because you can.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Survival and Creative support multiplayer and online co-op, including shared building, exploring, farming, and fighting Farmbots together.

What is Challenge mode?

A set of 40 trials focused on building and driving puzzles. They are a good warm-up before survival, and you can create and share your own challenges too.
