Scrap Mechanic

You play a robot maintenance mechanic stranded on a distant agricultural planet after a crash landing. The farm robots have gone haywire, and you must explore the world, gather what you need, and find ways to survive. Build vehicles, bases, and automated machines using connected parts and physics-based systems. Farming provides crops for food, crafting, and ammunition, while robot encounters put your creations and defenses to use. Survival mode combines exploration, missions, crafting, and combat, with underground mining as another way to seek resources and secrets. Creative mode offers a free-building sandbox, while Challenge Mode sets construction tasks with specific goals; you can also play with friends and use community-made mods.

After crash-landing on an agricultural planet, build physics-driven machines, gather resources, and fend off rogue robots.
