I started playing Scrap Mechanic back when there was only creative mode, in my opinion, it was worth it back even then

[egginator]

Survival is much richer than it seems, you discover more stuff as you play, albeit a bit slowly

[jhkl]

its a really feature rich game, even in its game modes. devs mentioned that after the heavy update thats incoming, they ll have another update to survival for water adventures etc, and the incoming update will all ready bring new enemies, new biomes, etc

[GameSpace]

Ok, I have been playing scrap mechanic since 2016, a few months after it came out. I have a lot of hours on it, survival and creative. And I honestly disagree with you in almost all of the cons.
First of all survival, while it seems light on lore, it has some community created lore behind it which is pretty dam cool, I suggest you check it out. And you need to play more than 24 hours to judge survival as it is a long game and can take more than expected. Which is good.
Also, if you check the Scrap Mechanic dev logs, you will clearly see the work put into new updates making the game a lot better. If you have just 10 hours these dev blogs will make you twiddle your fingers in excitement for when they come out.
I prefer mods as they let you do a lot more in the game, you can make math algorithms, guided missiles, turrets or higher detailed blocks. Mods can make you do so much more than vanilla.
Scrap mechanic can last you a lot longer than 500 hours. If you aren’t creative, then this game might not be for you. It’s about innovation and improvement. I highly suggest this game as the devs work on it 24/7 and when they make a dev blog, they make sure everybody damn right loves it!

Also poor optimisation is being worked on. And the possible reason you are having issues with connection, load times and lag spikes is possibly because the host’a settings are to high. This fixes it 90% of the time. Just lower graphics a bit and keep render at max. Scrap mechanic is a beautiful game low settings or max.

can you do another one of these when the massive Chapter 2 update comes out? Survival mode will be MUCH better and have loads of content

[olibobs]

suvival mod is quite new and the dev team is small. what they have managed to do is incredible

[vibaj]

Just gonna point out: that donkey kong (well, it's technically called Konkey Dong) arcade game uses no mods, it's completely vanilla! They just used tons of logic gates, which are a vanilla part (and I think they may have used glitchwelding for the screen, I can't tell. But that doesn't use mods either, just some file editing or in game glitches. The point is that you can download the creation from the workshop and use it without any mods)

[evaningstar]

This game is awesome.
Me and my friends have had it for almost a year now and we have managed to creat some pretty awesome stuff(ig: fighter jets with full auto stabilization, VTOL capabilities, and multiple variants of rockets(no mods).
Don’t let the games simple appearance fool you.
I would recommend playing the game un-modded since in my opinion it’s far more fun and rewarding to for example: try and come up with a design for a rocket that will turn towards anything it can sense in front of it, than it is to install a mod that just gives you guided rockets on the spot.
If you just want to be handed new tech than go play some other game.
Scrap mechanic is about the design process.
Some things to note however:
1- scrap mechanic is really only fun if you have a couple of friends who will play it with you
2- if you have a bad computer or bad internet than you are going to struggle with a lot of larger creations.
3- the survival gamemode is really fun but only if you play it right and bring a friend or two. However, there are multiple updates planned for survival mode that will make if feel far more complete.

All and all, I really wish scrap mechanic had more players, It’s an amazing game and deserves it.

I feel like scrap mechanic survival is the funnest part and to me it’s not unfinished, I have lots of worlds and over 300 hours and I don’t think survival is bad it can be fun with mods and stuff and the devs are working on removing the bugs.

[hikoplays]

yea ep 2 of survival is gonna be the underground. as someone that plays yes survival is bare bones and needs rebalancing with the tape and explosive bots.

[mrkay]

This game is phenomenal, I love it. It has always been awesome but it's always getting better. Totally worth the money for this masterpiece.

[realspeed]

my answer: i recommend to buy it

why? you can literally almost make any type of car, truck, or any sort of system that includes complex logic gates. you can do so much in this game, from building randomly to building MINI GAMES. personally this is the best building game ever made, but the optimization is very bad. if someone puts down 2 tanks, the game gets so laggy, and also, players can glitch through walls at high speeds, that kind of sucks. there's multiplayer too, which makes it even more better. the developers are also pretty slow on updating the game. they mention something, and add it a year later. this is going on with the turret seat. they posted the turret seat on march 11th, since then, no clues whatsoever were given to the community about when its coming out. So, in a few sentences: optimization sucks, gameplay is good. so i give scrap mechanic a 8/10, and recommend people to buy it!

[ScottaHemi]

I did, got it on sale early this year. even without the sale price 20 bucks for a fun building game like this is a steal!

[ezydyxg]

I like the fact that all of the textures and 3D models are available in the local game files and they can be used to create beautiful fanarts...

[TheGoldNinja]

I would like to add to the cons that every time the rotating sawblades doesn't cut through wood sometimes and drills doesn't cut through stone sometimes.

[TheLinksOfficial]

Funny to think that this was the first steam game I ever got.
Funny how a single decision can change a life so much

[guillermoelnino]

ive played this for over a week now (realtime) and am still enjoying it. but i have to say, its an acquired taste. its not for everybody.

[slenkhar]

If only the devs were far more prolific, they put out may be one extremely minor bug fix update a year, and sometimes it's just a text dev update. Feels like it'll never get there.
And also, the lag issue you mention, makes survival mode absolutely unplayable in multiplayer, after about 10 hours at 5 players, the lag input from all the stuff we built came upwards of 20 seconds, we gave up, such a shame, it's a really cool game, especially survival mode

[squidtito]

Still great to see videos about this game still in 2022!

[mki]

It's very much worth it, but one thing that I would like to point out is that the multiplayer experience can be quite laggy at times (input lag, weird bugs, etc)
