About this game Read the full description
Scrap Mechanic is a unique multiplayer survival sandbox adventure with a ground breaking building system and physics!

Tool up and enter the creative paradise of Scrap Mechanic! Build fantastic machines, go on a full story survival adventure with your friends in this imaginative multiplayer survival sandbox. With Scrap Mechanic’s powerful creation tools you can engineer your own adventures!

‘Be a robot maintenance mechanic’, they said. ‘Easy money’, they said. We’re pretty sure the job description didn’t mention crash landing on a far away planet, with thousands of crazed worker robots out for blood! You’re stranded on a faraway agriculture planet where the Farmbots working the fields have gone haywire.

SURVIVAL MODE

In Survival Mode, players get thrown into an epic full story experience! Explore a dynamically generated open-world environment filled with enemies, treasure and dangerous robots! Team up with friends and build vehicles and bases to protect yourself and your valuables. All while uncovering the planet's dark secrets in a journey to the planet's core.

Surviving - Stay Alive, Stay Creative
Something has gone terribly wrong on this distant agricultural planet. With your tool belt tightly fastened, survival relies entirely on your quick thinking, creativity, and a clever knack for turning your surroundings to your advantage.




Building - From Scrap to Masterpiece
With Scrap Mechanic’s powerful creation tools, the possibilities are limitless! Build incredible vehicles for exploration, design automated machines, or construct a secure home to keep your valuables safe.




Farming - Produce of Opportunity
Cultivate, water, and defend your crops. Establish grand farms to harvest materials for your ammunition, advanced crafting recipes, and epic rewards, unless you prefer to keep them as a quick snack!




Fighting - Ammo from the Garden
A wild and dangerous world awaits, teeming with haywire robots. Prepare for dynamic encounters where you can test your mechanical creations in thrilling, inventive combat scenarios. Above all, keep your Spudgun at the ready!




Digging - Uncover the Unexpected
Discover the underground world at the abandoned mine. Attach drills to your creation and dig for treasure and secrets down to the planet's boiling core!




Character Customization - Drip meets Duct Tape
Dress your Mechanics and mix and match clothing pieces to create your unique look. Unlock new gear by completing missions, visiting vendors, or finding hidden garment boxes across the world, some much rarer than others.

CHALLENGE MODE

Put your imagination to the test in the Master Mechanic Trials, an amazing roster of 40 fun and testing challenges which every wannabe mechanic should master before embarking on the wide-open world. Plus create your own challenges and share them with friends!

CREATIVE MODE

Choose from over 400+ building parts and create a transforming vehicle, a walking house or anything you and your friends can imagine! Scrap Mechanic mod support offers an easy way to download over 1000+ new player made building parts for your creations!
