We thought it might be interesting to also show you how the fire mechanic in action fire is a lot of fun to play with in creative mode, and it’s certainly satisfying to watch! This might be a good time to check whether your base is fireproof. Help them out and they will all have some great rewards in return!Įver wondered what those “flammable” entries in the item descriptions mean? At long last, we have added a fire game mechanic now, fires will spread if you do not put them out.Īnd with its introduction to the Red Totebots, we expect that things are going to get a lot more heated. That’s all about to change with the new builder quests: while you’re out exploring and collecting resources, you will come across characters that need your help to build a variety of things. We know that the world of Scrap Mechanic Survival is very pretty, but that it’s also pretty empty at the moment. Even the particles are volumetrically lit! This all helps create the look and the mood that we always wanted to evoke in Scrap Mechanic, especially in the next chapter. We can now run double the amount of light sources and are no longer limited to 24 cast shadows anymore any light that casts a shadow can now render in real-time.īut wait, there’s more: we now also have volumetric lighting in our engine that looks stunning. Now, you can enjoy better performance, even with higher resolutions like 4K. This significantly improves the game’s visuals and further optimizes the frame rate for players. This has been a long time coming, and it’s almost done: the lighting system in Scrap Mechanic has been completely reworked for the next chapter.

And while you’re at it, why not make a gun turret, for good measure? Plant a farm underground or on your creations, with the aid of the new UV Grow Beds! This new farming item gives you greater flexibility than ever, in exchange for electricity.īut be careful: bots can still find you and your precious crops, so you’d better encase those veggies in some sturdy material. The Minerbot is shaping up to be something that can even top the current bots. But even if you do shoot them down, watch out Minerbots can still crash into you! While Minerbots are not as accurate or alert as the Tapebots, they can become very dangerous, very quickly in large numbers. If spotted, the Minerbot will spray any Mechanics it detects with a shower of rocks. These heavily overworked bots are flying on fumes: after all, they’ve been digging random holes underground in every direction, slowly overheating for who knows how long. What’s that coming up from the mine? It’s a new bot! Introducing the Minerbot: Scrap Mechanic’s first flying bot! Not to mention all the exciting new additions we have been making to the game that we can’t wait to share with you!


It’s been a busy month for us, as we have been moving the Scrap HQ to a bigger and better office the team out-grew the old space, and things were getting as cramped as a Woc Crate.
