🛠️ Scrap Mechanic – The ADHD Tinkerer Simulator
Rating: 9/10 bolts lost in tall grass

If you’ve ever woken up and thought, “I want to build a toaster on wheels that shoots chickens”, then Scrap Mechanic is the game for you. A place where the laws of physics are more like loose suggestions and your only real limit is how many screws you can find... and how much sanity you’re willing to sacrifice.

🔧 Story? Who needs that?!
Okay sure, there’s technically a story – you’re a mechanic who crash-lands on a planet full of angry farming robots and… that’s basically it. But let’s be real, no one plays this game for the plot. It’s like buying a cactus for the fruit.

🧠 Logic? LMAO.
I built a car. It had four wheels. All of them spun in different directions. Don’t ask me how – I don’t even know. The end result looked like a malfunctioning office chair possessed by a demon. But it moved! Kinda.

🤖 Robot AI
The robots are like toddlers hopped up on sugar and rage – they sprint, scream, and wreck whatever you spent the last 4 hours building. It’s like the game whispers: “Oh, you made something nice? Here's three feral carrots with wrenches. Good luck.”

👥 Multiplayer – aka “Should that be on fire?”
Playing with friends is a blast… until someone decides to turn your tractor into a mobile grill with a chicken cannon. Suddenly your peaceful farm explodes every 5 minutes and physics feels more like a loose interpretation than a rule.

⏳ Updates – aka “Just wait until you forget you were waiting”
The game is insanely addictive – you sit down for 30 minutes and wake up 6 hours later surrounded by pistons, wires, and deep philosophical questions like: “Can I make a banana-shaped battle tank?”
BUT – fair warning: updates are slower than a sloth on vacation. The devs are working hard on the full release, which is great… but at this point, it might come out around the same time as Half-Life 3.
Thankfully, the modding community is a gift from the scrap gods and keeps things spicy.

Final Verdict: Scrap Mechanic is beautiful chaos. A game where you can be a genius, a maniac, an engineer, and a total failure – sometimes all at once. If you like building stuff, solving problems in the dumbest possible way, and shouting “IT'S WORKING!” as your creation explodes... this is your new home.

Recommended for anyone who ever built something out of LEGO and thought: “Now what if this had a lawnmower engine…”


🛠️ Scrap Mechanic – Symulator Szalonego Majstra z ADHD
Ocena: 9/10 nakrętek zgubionych w trawie

Jeśli kiedyś obudziłeś się z myślą: "Chciałbym dziś zbudować jeżdżący toster, który strzela kurczakami", to Scrap Mechanic jest grą właśnie dla Ciebie. Gra, w której prawa fizyki są bardziej sugestią niż zasadą, a Twoja kreatywność jest ograniczona tylko przez ilość śrubek, które masz... i Twoją cierpliwość.

🔧 Fabuła? A kto to potrzebuje?!
No dobra, jakaś tam jest – jesteś mechanikiem, który rozbija się na planecie pełnej agresywnych rolniczych robotów i… to tyle. Ale kto gra w tę grę dla fabuły? To jak kupić kaktusa dla owoców.

🧠 Logika? Proszę Cię...
Zbudowałem samochód. Miał cztery koła. Wszystkie kręciły się w inną stronę. Nie pytaj jak – nawet ja nie wiem. Efekt końcowy wyglądał jak walczące o życie krzesło biurowe na LSD. Ale działało! No, prawie...

🤖 AI robotów
Roboty w grze są jak wkurzone jak dzieci ♥♥ cukrze – latają, krzyczą i rozwalają wszystko, co zbudujesz przez 4 godziny. To jakby gra mówiła: "O, zrobiłeś coś pięknego? Oto trzy wściekłe marchewy na nogach z kluczami francuskimi. Powodzenia!"

👥 Multiplayer – czyli "czy to powinno się palić?"
Granie z przyjaciółmi to czysta przyjemność... dopóki nie zamienią Twojego traktora w mobilny grill z katapultą. Nagle masz farmę, która wybucha co 5 minut, i dziwne poczucie, że fizyka w tej grze się obraziła i poszła na urlop.

⏳ Aktualizacje – czyli "czekaj, aż zapomnisz, że czekałeś"
Gra jest cholernie wciągająca – siadasz na 30 minut, a budzisz się 6 godzin później w otoczeniu kabli, silników i egzystencjalnych pytań typu: "Czy mogę zbudować czołg w kształcie banana?".
Ale! Trzeba uczciwie przyznać – aktualizacje wychodzą w tempie ślimaka z kontuzją. Twórcy pracują ciężko nad pełną wersją gry, co brzmi super… tylko że trwa to dłużej niż montaż IKEA bez instrukcji.
Na szczęście społeczność na warsztacie steam robi co może, żeby nie było nudno – i chwała im za to.

Podsumowanie: Scrap Mechanic to cudowny chaos. To gra, w której możesz być geniuszem, wariatem, inżynierem i kompletnym nieudacznikiem – czasem jednocześnie. Jeżeli lubisz majsterkowanie, śrubki, i absolutny brak zdrowego rozsądku – to Twój nowy dom.

Polecam każdemu, kto kiedyś zbudował coś z LEGO i pomyślał: "A gdyby to jeszcze miało silnik od kombajnu..."

Review is targeted at Survival.

I want to love this game, I put so much effort into loving this game.

It has so many good pieces, but they are just not assembled in a way that's fun. The component farming mechanism for progression is a pain, the world size is a pain, if you happen to lose your cockpit far from home you're wrecked. Survival sometimes feels like an afterthought to add a feature that was highly requested, but didn't quite make it there. The worst part is its _almost there_.

I lost my vehicle twice far, far from home by getting randomly sniped in the cockpit by a ♥♥♥. Then had to manually walk all the way back to my main base to craft replacements and all the way back. I wrote off my saved game both times and decided to give it another go, but ultimately it killed my enjoyment.

If I were the devs looking to drastically improve survival I would consider the following:
- Replace components with a leveling system, let players unlock things in a blueprint tree one by one instead of farming components non-stop. Its the same method (kill to get progress) but makes non-component dropping bots feel better, and also makes the defense feel more important. You could keep components as a drop to limit access to crafting certain things, but as the raw upgrade/progression they're so rare.
- The required jump to obtain a Spud Gun from no gun is drastic, and the fact that enemies require it at a certain phase without any warning except they will repeatedly snipe you is super unfun and feels terrible. I am punished for exploring the world and seeing a cool thing then going over there to find the same loot but with insanely harder enemies guarding it. Nothing is as fun as losing your vehicle to a robot you've never seen before just chopping it in half or sniping you out of it without a second thought.
- Biomes are "neat" but ultimately feel really hollow. There doesn't feel like any progress in getting to them, why wouldn't I just stay in the lower tiers and farm components? Ember and Chemicals are about the only other thing out there and both are close to home.

I knew it when they started adding Music blocks into the game....... Like common its scrap mechanic not Scrap Loops.... they fail to see what woulda made the game great when they first came out. And still haven't done much to spruce it up. Focus get back to that focus please when u first released the game.
