About the Game
Scrap Mechanic is a multiplayer survival sandbox where you build machines, vehicles and bases on a haywire farming planet.
Scrap Mechanic is a survival sandbox with action, adventure and simulation elements, developed and published by Axolot Games. You play a robot maintenance mechanic who crash lands on a faraway agricultural planet, where the Farmbots working the fields have gone haywire. Survival mode throws you into a full story experience set in a dynamically generated open world filled with enemies, treasure and dangerous robots.
The core loop revolves around gathering, building and staying alive. You team up with friends to build vehicles and bases that protect you and your valuables, while uncovering the planet's secrets on a journey toward its core. Farming is a big part of it: you cultivate, water and defend crops, which can supply materials for ammunition and crafting recipes. Your main weapon is the Spudgun, and digging lets you attach drills to your creations to search an abandoned mine for treasure.
The building system is the heart of the game. The store description highlights a groundbreaking building system with physics, and the creation tools let you engineer transforming vehicles, automated machines and secure homes. Creative Mode offers over 400 building parts, so the limits are largely your imagination. Character customization adds a personal touch, letting you mix and match clothing pieces unlocked through missions, vendors and hidden garment boxes.
For players who like structure, Challenge Mode presents the Master Mechanic Trials, forty tests that prepare you for the open world. You can also create your own challenges and share them with friends, and the game supports online co-op, Steam Workshop and a level editor.

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy building contraptions and watching them work will get a lot out of the physics-driven creation tools. It also suits groups of friends, since co-op play, Steam Workshop and the level editor give everyone a shared project to build and explore together.
Not Recommended For
If you want a tightly scripted story or a polished, traditional survival experience, this open-ended sandbox may feel too loose. Readers who need Traditional Chinese text should look elsewhere, since the game does not list that language among its supported options.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Scrap Mechanic carries the Steam label 極度好評 (Very Positive) for Taiwan readers, and about 92% of its reviews are positive. The game has hundreds of thousands of reviews, so the rating rests on an exceptionally large sample of players.
On Steam, Very Positive generally means the vast majority of reviewers were happy with the game, and a sample this big makes the percentage a dependable signal. Smaller titles with far fewer reviews can swing sharply in either direction, so their labels deserve more caution. A strong overall rating still does not guarantee the game matches your taste, so check the store page and the genre tags before you buy.

Our price record for Scrap Mechanic is still short, so any verdict here is tentative. The game is often discounted according to our records, and it has never been free to keep in our history.
Given that pattern, waiting for a sale is a sensible choice if you are not in a hurry, while buying at the full NT$ 561 makes the most sense if you want to start playing right away. We will keep updating this section as more price history builds up.
