A challenge builder is also available for players to build and share their own challenge levels. In challenge mode, players have to try and get through 40 levels by making or fixing contraptions using the limited materials they are given. Creations can be saved and shared via the Steam workshop. There are also harvestables from survival mode such as trees and stone as well as crafting stations, allowing for players to test all sorts of mad resource gathering contraptions. In this mode, players cannot be injured or die. There are no enemies nor animals in the world naturally, but they can be spawned by the player with spawn capsules.

In creative mode, players start with full access to an unlimited supply of all items in the game, allowing for the creation of a variety of buildings, vehicles, and machines, none of which require energy or fuel to function.
Several elements described here (such as Farmbots dropping warehouse keys) are subject to change in later versions as the game is still in early access.

Resources can be collected more efficently using better machines, and farming automation through creations (and the required defenses for nightly raids) make larger scale conflicts with the bots possible.Īs of update 0.5.1 most items are available in creative mode except for structure parts, the dressbot and cookbot and other parts like garment boxes, small chests, most consumables, etc. In later stages of the game, building advanced bases and elaborate machines is possible. The farmer accepts produce crates as currency as well as caged farmers that can be found at burnt and autumn forests campsites. Players can also find a farmer(or trader) with whom they can trade for special items including spudguns, garment boxes, seeds and ammuniton (potato). In Devblog 20 and 21 new bots have been shown, those being: Red Totebots (referred to by the developers as Red Guys), they are confirmed to use explosives but the way they will work is yet to be announced Cable Cutter Bots, they will be found in groups in the caves coming in Chapter 2 and the Trashbot, according to the developers, the first boss of scrap mechanic, it will be found on the roof of the warehouses. Were originally used to automatically do majority of the farming jobs. They also hold the key to the warehouses. Those were originally used to do packaging jobs at said warehouses and the large Farmbots, that wield a pesticide gun and a large scythe. They have a weakness in form of water, which can be used against them: they never go swim, and get stunned if you water them with a bucket Tapebots, who guard warehouses and shoot tape rolls (At higher floors they use firecracker rolls instead, which are explosive) at intruders. Were originally used to manage the wheat fields and stack hay.
They wield a pitchfork and drop scrap metal rods (which can be refined into blocks for crafting and building). Their original purpose is unknown Haybots are, most likely, the second enemy you will enounter in the world. Spider-like Totebots, which are the most basic of them all and whose heads can be used to make alarms, music and deter other bots. The world is inhabited by a variety of robots that attack the players on sight. Other locations include ruined structures like the Silo District or Ruin City filled with enemy robots, supply crates, and chests with loot the Trader's Outpost or Hideout, where items can be purchased with Produce Crates and Caged Farmers the Roadside Markets that can be harvested for blocks, parts and other resources and warehouses, large buildings storing more advanced supplies filled with Tapebots guarding the warehouse with their clippers and tape guns. The cheapest bot (or machine) is the Resource Collector used for collecting resources and transmitting them to refiners. The second major location in the game is the mechanic station, where most complex crafting can be undertaken with the other crafting stations: the large Craftbot the Dressbot, for making clothes the Refinebot, for refining raw materials and the Cookbot, for combining raw foods into recipes. The spaceship has a basic crafting station called a Craftbot with limited functionality, primarily focused on allowing players to build a simple automobile to begin exploring the world. They must search for supplies and food in order to survive. Players begin at the site of a crashed spaceship, with very few items.
