I’ve played Stormworks: Build and Rescue, and I really love its vehicle construction system where you have to build vehicles to achieve specific goals. For example, in Stormworks, I wanted to catch fish, but using a fishing rod was a waste of time. So, I built a boat equipped with fishing nets to catch fish in large quantities. Or, if I wanted to explore further, I had to build a boat with larger fuel tanks to extend my range.

After playing for a while, I realized I wanted a game that combines a vehicle-building system with a survival system—a game where I have to gather food to survive, build a base to store items, explore for resources, and use vehicles to make that exploration and resource gathering more efficient. For instance, if I need wood but cutting it down manually takes too long, I could build a vehicle equipped with harvesting tools to speed up the process.

I recently came across this game on a YouTube Short, and the building system looked really interesting (I saw someone building a stone-hauling truck). I also saw that it has a survival mode, which peaked my interest. I’ve looked up some information, and the reviews are mixed. Also, the YouTube videos I’ve seen playing the survival mode don't seem to focus much on vehicle construction (though I might not have watched enough yet).

So, what is the survival mode currently like? Is it the kind of experience I’m hoping for? I don’t want to buy the game only to find out it’s not what I expected, which would just make me lose interest in playing it.

Thank you for reading this, and I apologize for my English."

Just imagine, a 2x2x1 pad that has a Sticky Side on a 2x2 side. The other side will be metal, but you can stick and unstick. Just imagine the mechanisms that can be done with that. Now yes, Minecraft create mod has something similar, but idk, it a good idea.

With the 1.0 release, what really intrigued me isn't really the content itself,modders can definitely deliver those ,but the physics Engine they have been cooking up should be the core talking point.Because new content can satisfy people for the short term while a solid newly optimised low bug physic system would actually be the thing that make this game survive and last with new unlocked potentials for even more insane creations without lagging the game

According to the teaser Scrap mechanic will be releasing as 1.0 which means leaving early access after 10 years on the 24th.

When a game has such a massive update and also when it leaves early access steam will do a massive promotion of the game and a whole lot of new people will find it, notably new youtubers that weren't around or popular when survival mode released or when the game first came out in 2016.

Prepare for a lot of these new players will be very much noobs, will have lots of questions, and many of them will be children. That happens and is what we should all expect and be prepared for.

I was one of those players who assumed that tha game was abandoned, and have made many snide remarks against the devs, but with the new upsate actually relseasing for once I feel new hope. Let's hope that the devs are not going to dissapoint.

Iam currently working on a online imageboard dedicated specifically to scrap mechanic, what features you would like to see there? Be brave and creative mechanics!

Hey everyone,

Quick question on you guys's opinion, since they teased new tiles and such for the map coming along with chapter 2, what do you guys think will happend to old survival worlds ? Do you guys think we will have access to the new content on existing worlds ?

Personally I've been playing on a new world and I sunk like 50+ hours recently and it would kinda suck to restart another one directly right after yknow

To start, if I have missed anything, let me know and I will add it.
