Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„The Early Access version of Scrapmen focuses on establishing the core loop of scavenging, building, and surviving in a harsh, post-cataclysmic world. The full version is planned to expand on that foundation with larger playable regions, deeper faction systems, and greater player influence over territory and conflict.

We intend to introduce additional biomes, new building materials, and more advanced machinery for both the Ironclad and the Timberfolk, allowing each faction’s identity to shape how they build and fight. The world will also evolve dynamically through expanded war phases, localized ceasefires, and player-driven events that influence which areas are safe or contested.

Beyond new content, the full version aims to deepen the game’s persistent systems, including player progression, structure ownership, and long-term faction tracking across servers, creating a living, interconnected world instead of isolated sessions.

While exact features and timelines may change, the goal is to evolve Scrapmen from a survival sandbox into a full-scale world defined by player conflict, salvage, and rebuilding after the fall.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version includes the core survival and building systems that define Scrapmen. Players can scavenge materials, construct bases, join a faction, and take part in small-scale territorial conflicts. The foundational multiplayer systems are in place, including persistence across sessions and faction tracking on dedicated servers.

The current focus is stability, balance, and expanding the range of structures, tools, and crafting options. Many systems are functional but still in development, with ongoing tuning to player progression, world events, and environmental hazards.

While the world is smaller in scale and less populated than intended for the full release, it provides a complete gameplay loop and a clear sense of direction for what’s to come.“
