How co-op works
Online crews share the full Survival story in a dynamically generated world, gathering materials, farming crops, and defending vehicles, bases, and valuables from Farmbots. Players divide construction tasks and connect engines, bearings, controllers, sensors, and logic into transport, automated machinery, traps, and combat rigs.
About this game
Scrap Mechanic is a multiplayer survival sandbox built around engineering and creative building. You and your friends crash-land on a planet where once-friendly Farmbots have gone rogue, and survival depends on your ability to construct vehicles, contraptions, and defensive structures from scrap parts. It plays as a true co-op experience, where teamwork unlocks the most ambitious builds and strategies.

The core loop revolves around gathering resources, designing machines with an intuitive physics-based editor, and defending your base against waves of hostile bots. Whether you're welding together a giant harvester, crafting elaborate traps, or engineering a battle tank, every creation is limited only by your imagination and the parts you scavenge. The fun comes from collaborative problem-solving and watching your wild ideas come to life.
Scrap Mechanic supports online co-op on PC, letting you team up with friends to explore, build, and fight. Sessions naturally encourage voice chat and constant communication as you coordinate complex builds, share resources, and plan your next survival move together.
