Quick start

New to Scrap Mechanic? Follow these five steps to reach your first Mechanic Station.

  1. 01

    Find the Mechanic Station

    From your crash site, follow the road until you reach the illuminated wrench sign — that is where every part of your survival run begins.

  2. 02

    Build a basic tractor

    Use the Craftbot to assemble a seat, wheels and a battery. A simple vehicle lets you haul logs, collect wrecks and reach warehouses before night raids.

  3. 03

    Defend your first farm

    Plant at least 64 blocks away from other crops to avoid early Farmbot raids, and wall your fields in before sundown.

  4. 04

    Trade for a Spud Gun

    Bring produce crates and a Caged Farmer to the Trader hideout. The Spud Gun is the only reliable answer to Farmbots.

  5. 05

    Plan your warehouse route

    Use a Spud Gun or Spud Shotgun to clear Tapebots, grab a Warehouse Key from a downed Farmbot, and start farming Pineapple seeds for late-game cooking.

Why this wiki exists

Search answers without the clickbait — every guide is sourced, localised, and rebuilt for the 1.0 patch.

This wiki exists because most Scrap Mechanic guides are out of date, ad-laden, or never covered the 1.0 update. Every page here is sourced from the Steam patch notes, the Fandom community wiki and real community gameplay, then rewritten in plain English (and translated for French and German readers) so you can find the answer in under a minute.

If you spot something wrong, the contact link is in the footer. We respond to corrections within a week.

FAQ

Wiki FAQ

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Is Scrap Mechanic Wiki official?

No — this is a fan-built resource run by the community. We are not affiliated with Axolot Games. Always cross-check announcements on the official Steam page and the developers' social channels.

What is Scrap Mechanic 1.0 & Drilling Thunder?

It is the July 24, 2026 full-release update that adds Chapter 2: a redesigned survival terrain, full underground caverns, Plasma Drills, the Ore Crusher, Schematics, the Trash Bot boss and a long list of new building parts.

Which languages does this wiki support?

English (root), Français, and Deutsch. Game content is fully translated; in-depth pages and updates are kept up to date in English first, then localised for French and German readers.

Do I need to play with friends to survive?

Solo Survival is absolutely viable, especially with the new Difficulty options added in earlier patches. Multiplayer makes raids easier but every guide here is designed to be useful in either mode.

Can I use these guides on console or mobile?

Scrap Mechanic is a PC-only experience today — there is no console or mobile release. The wiki focuses on the Steam version on Windows, with notes for Mac/Linux players where applicable.
