It was very important to us that our take on this mechnaic wasn’ t just your regular loading bar crafting system. It took some time to get the Scrap Mechanic crafting system exactly how we wanted, but we’re delighted to announce that it’s finally in a place we’re really happy with!

Today we’re delighted to share a snippet of one of the Survival night tunes, which we hope will evoke a feeling of loneliness and isolation. This was obviously less of a priority when experimenting in Creative mode, but in Survival we really want ed the music to play a larger role in creating a deeper atmosphere for players. One of the things we really want ed to enhance was the mood when exploring the Survival world. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the different gameplay these larger buildings introduce!Īs many of you will know, here at Scrap Mechanic HQ we are currently very focussed on fleshing out and improving Survival Mode. We absolutely intend to have fully destructible building exteriors in the game, but on a slightly smaller scale. Ultimately, this seemed like a fair compromise to achieve our main ambitions and we discovered that the decision actually enabled a lot of fun and tense gameplay! Inside these buildings, players no longer have the option of escaping through a hole in the wall when things go sour! To be clear, everything inside the warehouse can still be destroyed. During the process of creating these buildings we discovered that in order to make them as large as we originally imagined, it meant we wouldn’t be able to introduce them with destructible exteriors due to technical limitations.

When we first started work on buildings for Survival Mode, our plan was to construct them out of building parts and to do our best to ensure that they were absolutely as huge as possible. If there’s a more exciting wording pair than, ‘massive warehouse’, us Mechanics sure don’t know about it! However, when you’re on foot and your creations are out of reach, the Spud Gun (aka Potato Gun) is an exciting new tool at Mechanics’ disposal.įurthermore, right know we’ re testing a farming system (more on that later) where players will be able to harvest their own ammo! This opens up a lot of new and interesting gameplay that we’ re sure you’ll find very a-peel-ing! We’re also playing with ways of attaching potato guns on your creations, for example on bearing s. In Survival Mode, your creations will always be the best form of defence against those pesky farmbots. When things get heated in Survival Mode, Mechanics need reach no further than the brand new, fully-loaded Spud Gun! Now, let’s take a look together at some exciting new stuff… We’re continuingly amazed to see your fantastic creations and can’t wait to see what comes next!
