Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Scraplings features a fully functional vertical automation loop, power grid management, and core trading systems that are playable from start to finish. We are entering Early Access because we want to shape the game's economy, balance, and content expansion directly alongside our player community.

During the Early Access period, we plan to continuously expand the game world with new NPCs (traders, smugglers, and station managers), new trade products, crafting recipes, and system-specific questlines that unlock deeper narrative and trade opportunities.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Scraplings to remain in Early Access for approximately 4-6 months. This timeframe may adjust based on community feedback and the pace of rolling out planned content updates.”

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

“The full version will offer a significantly richer trade ecosystem and expanded facility capabilities. Key additions planned throughout Early Access include:

New NPCs: Additional traders, brokers, and characters across different station systems.
Expanded Trade Goods - Recipes: New complex products to manufacture, process, and bargain over.
In-Depth Questlines: Character-driven mission arcs providing unique blueprints, perks, and market advantages.
Refined Game Balance: Fine-tuned market prices, rent scaling, and logistics balancing based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version is fully playable end-to-end. Core gameplay includes:

Raw waste extraction, vertical logistics (conveyors, elevators, tunnels), manual power wiring, and 50+ recycling recipes.
Zenith rent mechanics, dynamic phone trading, bio-lab plant cloning, ancient relics, and full controller/Steam Deck support infrastructure.”

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

“We want to reward early supporters who join us during Early Access with a lower price point. But it will not change too much, 1 or 2 dollars maybe.”

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

“We actively engage with players through Steam Community Discussions, Discord, and Reddit. Player suggestions regarding factory balance, trade economy, new product ideas, and quality-of-life tweaks will directly guide our ongoing updates.”

About This Game

Scraplings: Automate, Recycle and Automate to Survive!

Hello! I’m Çağlayan. As an art director in advertising and a passionate gamer, my love for automation games led me to create Scraplings as my very first project.

Scraplings is a 2D side-view recycling and automation game where you build multi-layered production facilities directly above an infinite ocean of waste. You salvage forgotten debris from the "Lost Century", process it through advanced machinery, and expand your factory—all while grappling with a ruthless bureaucracy (Zenith) and weekly rent payments knocking at your door.

What Awaits You in This World?

🏭 A Facility Above an Infinite Trash Sea: You extract raw materials from waste piles extending endlessly to the left and right. You design your vertical logistics using conveyors, vertical lifts, and obstacle-evading background tunnels.

⚙️ 50+ Recycling & Crafting Recipes: From scrap iron to copper cables, biofuels to high-tech solar panels... You shred, melt, merge, and synthesize waste into high-value products.

💸 Weekly Rent & Bankruptcy Risk: Zenith demands more than just production—they want weekly rent. Every machine you build increases your tax; miss a payment, and compounding interest might cost you your entire facility!

🤖 20+ Characters Across Different Systems & Dynamic Trade: You work alongside your robot assistant Kienan, and connect with traders, smugglers, technicians, and rogue broadcasters across various systems to handle special orders and negotiations.

🔌 Your Own Power Grid: You manually lay power cables and junction boxes. You manage your factory’s energy day and night using generators, solar panels, and wind turbines.

🌱 Lost Century Relics & Bio-Lab: You discover ancient vinyl records, books, and rare seeds buried deep in the waste. You clone and cultivate extinct luxury plant species in the bio-lab for unique trades and collections.

If you are ready to keep your gears turning, build a flawless zero-waste factory, and keep your facility afloat while paying off your debts, don't forget to add Scraplings to your Wishlist!

Thank you in advance for your interest.
