This is because you will eventually attract a lot of attention from the farming robots who are wandering around. You’ll want to reinforce your farm with a few walls that at least four blocks high. Layout the soil, plant your seeds, and water them via the buckets you collected early on.

You’ll want to be somewhere generally near the gas station since it’s where you can create advanced robots.Īfter you pick out some land, harvest some wood and build a nice fence around it. Now look for a body of water somewhere around this structure to start your farm. This structure will have a giant glowing wrench sign so it’s nearly impossible to miss. Once you have enough supplies, follow the main road until you reach the gas station. When the game starts, I recommend gathering all of the food supplies from the pond to the right of the ship. This isn’t necessary and you shouldn’t rely on always having fertilizer for your crops. After this, you can decide to use fertilizer to speed up the process by a couple of days. You only need to water a seed once for it to grow and you can tell which soil section you’ve watered if the dirt is a darker shade of brown. Once you have water, toss it on the seed of choice. Eventually you will be able to craft a water pump and siphon water directly from a source, but for now these buckets will be your best friend. One of these buckets is by the small pond to the right of your ship, while another is on the ramp of the destroyed building directly across from the crash site. You will need water to grow these plants, which can be harvested by using a blue bucket. Each soil plot makes up a 2×2 space and can hold a single seed of any food type. When you’re just starting out, soil can be found in green bags. To grow food you will need to plant seeds in soil. But to even get there, you will need to start a basic farm so you can collect food and go exploring. Scrap Mechanic is a devilishly intricate game where you can craft elaborate irrigation systems. To be clear, we will be focusing on the basics and starting up a beginner’s farm. While it’s generally easy to start a farm, the issue is creating a sustainable food source so you won’t have to worry about hunting down new seeds. This can be done by growing crops, creating milk, and scavenging for food in ruined buildings. Similar to other survival games, players will need to manage a food and thirst meter otherwise they’ll start taking damage. After you awake from a crash landing, you’ll find that you have nothing but a jack lift and a hammer to forge your path. Scrap Mechanic’s new survival mode has recently released and it tasks players with surviving a world overrun by angry farming robots.
