Hi Mechanics

Thanks for helping us test the latest fixes.
We got some great feedback!
The fixes are now added to the main branch.

Here is the full list:

• Other players now have names above their head in multiplayer.
  
• Fixed a bug where the player could not remove connections from a seat with 10 connections.
  
• The lift will no longer push the player off when raised.
  
• Fixed a Weld Tool bug.
  
• Added smooth camera zooming.
  
• New Sledgehammer cursor appears when within range of something you can hit.
  
• Added preview for tools in the inventory.
  
• Added text messages for the Radio; "This Radio is connected to a Button/Switch/Sensor".

Keep in mind that small updates like this do not affect the work we do on optimization, bigger requested features and survival mode.

We are aware of crash issues conserning AMD Radeon 300-series graphics. We are working on a solution! In the meantime try disabling AMD Gaming Evolved Overlay (Raptr) recording software. This has helped some players get the game running.

Hi Mechanics!

The Farmbots are keeping us working hard over here at Scrap HQ, but we’re not the only ones. You’ve all been busy too and we keep seeing you all sharing some amazing creations. So it’s time to dig into the Scrap Mechanic workshop for some hidden gems!


The Fancy Walker
One of the inspirations for Scrap Mechanic before the development started was Theo Jansen’s incredible Strandbeests. They’re delicate automata that use air pressure to create believably organic movement. With that in mind, it’s amazing to see how well this Strandbeest was re-created in Scrap Mechanic by top creator Brent Batch. We could spend hours just watching this beautiful thing walk.
Try it out!



The Mobile Music Box
Feeling down? Is your day a bit of a bummer? Did your flying contraption escape into the sunset? Well, we have the right thing to cheer you up! Gum The Mechanic has built a music box on wheels that plays a jaunty, happy tune. Cruising around with this vehicle while jamming along puts a big smile on our faces - and we think it should do the same for you.
Try it out!



Have A Banana
What could be so special about a wooden banana? I mean, you can’t even eat it, unless you like spending a week picking splinters out of your tongue. That’s what we thought until we found… this banana.
Luap the Great has managed to build a very clever and compact… banana. We’re not going to spoil it for you. Just subscribe, hit the switch and stand back! You won’t regret it.
Try it out!



Farmbot: The Prerevengeance
We don’t know how it happened. Someone must have left a door open. Whatever the reason, the survival mode isn’t even out yet but the Farmbots have got out and are invading Steam Workshop. Mechanic Fabiano Luiz seems to have spotted one, which he’s captured and uploaded.
This Farmbot is an agricultural giant who tromps over the land like something out of Transformers and will even open his mouth when you get too close. The last we saw of Fabiano was in this short movie when he encountered this mechanical monster. Are you brave enough to subscribe?
Try it out!



Hello Dolly(cam)
Eru is one clever mechanic. He’s built a lot of impressive things, from helicopters and flying lawnmowers to the Iron Throne itself. This creation is much more practical - a camera dolly vehicle for taking steady moving videos. If you want to make a movie showing off your latest creations, then this cunning vehicle produces impressive cinematic sweeping shots. It’s easy to operate - watch this video for more details and some inspiration.
Try it out!

Hi Mechanics

Time for another beta test. We have made a bunch of small fixes in this one.
For example being able to see the mechanics names above the head when playing multiplayer. We also noticed Mechanics often slipping off the lift when they try to lift themselves up. Now the Mechanic will have a better grip when standing on the lift.

Here is the full list:

• Fixed a bug where the player could not remove connections from a seat with 10 connections.
  
• The lift will no longer push the player off when raised.
  
• Fixed a Weld Tool bug.
  
• Added smooth camera zooming.
  
• New Sledgehammer cursor appears when within range of something you can hit.
  
• Added preview for tools in the inventory.
  
• Added text messages for the Radio; "This Radio is connected to a Button/Switch/Sensor".

We would like to thank all the mechanics who helped us test the Scrap Mechanic Workshop beta. Thanks for all the feedback!

Now we really look forward to see your awesome creations in the Scrap Mechanic Workshop!
There are already a ton of creations shared that you should check out.

This is how the new Workshop lift feature works:

• Save creation
  To save your creation, make sure it’s on the lift and then press E on the lift to access the menu.
  
  
• Build saved creation
  To build saved or downloaded creations, you need to have an empty lift and press E on the lift.

Here are the update notes:

• Added Blueprint Import and Export feature with Workshop functionality.
  
• Some worlds that were crashing the game when loaded should now work.

For the mod creators only!

We have decided to makes things easier for you and the Mechanics.

In preparation for official mod support we have decided to replace the id system for parts to uuids. This will ensure that ID's don’t clash when a player have more then one mod installed
at the same time.
More info

To make your mods continue to work in patch 0.1.29 make sure to add a randomly generated uuid to the part definition.
We recommend using this generator to generate the UUID.
You have to keep your old id (or legacy_id) entry to make worlds upgrade correctly.
For example:

{
"legacy_id": 300,
"uuid": "69e362c3-32aa-4cd1-adc0-dcfc47b92c0d",
"mesh": "wheel.mesh",
...
}

Basic materials also require a id/legacy_id which corresponds to the order in the file starting from 1.
For example:

{
"legacy_id": 1,
"uuid": "a6c6ce30-dd47-4587-b475-085d55c6a3b4",
"dif": "blk_concrete01_dif.tga",
...
}

It’s a little headache to change your current mods. But it will make it possible for our lovely mechanics to have any number of mods installed at the same time.
