What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“🧪Scrapping Simulator began as a passion project during a difficult time in my life. After facing health issues and leaving full-time work, I chose to pursue game development seriously. With a love for e-waste recycling and a fresh concept in mind, I launched Scrapping Simulator as an Early Access title to gather community feedback, refine gameplay, and fund continued development through updates and community support.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“⏳As this is my first major release, it's hard to estimate an exact timeline. My goal is to reach a solid Beta v0.5+ as soon as possible, where the core game is feature-complete. From there, I'll focus on refinement, bug fixes, and optimization on the road to v1.0. Development will continue based on feedback, performance, and polish.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“🏗️The full release is planned to include:

A fully explorable open world (targeting 3–5km in size)
Vehicles to help navigate the expanded map
More diverse E-Waste items (CRTs, mobile phones, white goods, etc.)
Deeper disassembly mechanics (like copper wiring and internal layers)
Missions, quests, and optional side objectives for added structure

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“✅The core gameplay systems are in place — scavenging, disassembling, refining, trading, and upgrading all work as intended. Development now focuses on polishing existing content, implementing community feedback, adding quality-of-life features, and steadily expanding the game toward its full potential.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“💳At this stage there are no plans to increase the Price either during or after Early Access”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?
