What is Scrap Machine
Scrap Machine puts you in the role of an engineer with a pile of spare parts and a workshop full of possibilities. Brainstorm, build, and battle as you turn rusty scraps into awesome machines.
How to Play
Select parts from the inventory and attach them to your chassis to assemble your machine. Then test it in missions or battles, adjust your design based on performance, and keep improving.
Tips for Playing
- Start with a simple base and add one feature at a time to understand how it affects your machine's behavior.
- Balance your build: lighter machines are faster but less durable, while heavy ones pack more punch but turn slower.
- Place the center of gravity low to avoid flipping during high-speed maneuvers or sharp turns.
- Use trial runs to fine-tune your weapon angles and power settings before entering a contest.
- Pay attention to terrain: wheels work on flat ground, but tracks are better for rocky or sandy areas.
