The Scrap Mechanic Iceberg Explained (The Minecraft Prototype that Became its own Game)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- The vibrate cartoony multiplayer sandbox known as Scrap Mechanic lets you build anything your heart desires. But although the video game may appear to be bright and cheerful at the surface, aspects of the game can incredibly unsettling and obscure. Hello, I'm Jotrain and in this video, I will be uncovering the interesting and unknown facts about and found within the game, unknown to most players of Scrap Mechanic.
This is my most ambitious video by far and took way longer to make than initially anticipated. So If you enjoyed it. Be sure to like comment and subscribe and share the video which will also be appreciated.

![Chapter 2 Bot Variety Goes Deeper Than Expected! [Scrap Mechanic DevBlog 25 Review]](/img/tr.png)
We waited 4 years for survival and boy was it worth it. Creative mode already stood on it's own.
100th like
I heard 6, on an OLD Blitz scrap mechanic video that came out 6 years ago, he mentioned that survival would be coming out on a later date but he didn't know when.
Now we are waiting for Survival Chapter 2 since the release of survival mode, for the full story mode to be released, like in RAFT.
Lol, true!
no the fuck it was not
Is it me or are the robot voice lines funny as hell. Like instead of threatening the mechanic at first, they take a petty approach and say, “We will play our favorite songs over, and over, and over again!”
They love listening to songs, over and over again!
i must say their music taste is nice
what is their favourite songs suck but luckily they can't play them
Never realised SM had a lot of dark backstories and hidden things
I think the hanging character may have been the old mechanic at some point but Axolot ultimately decided against adding it. This is of course dependent on whether or not the old mechanic is actually the trader
"the limit is your imagination"
Me with a potato pc: .-.
least you have a pc man
nah, the physic engine is like one of the least optimised engine I have ever seen. Even a overkill pc won't be enough for SM.
@@_Zdex007 bruh if you dont max out the graphics you can spawn some fairly big creations dude
@@DaGamerHemZelf You might be building large warehouses, but I’m working on complex suspension. My simplest custom suspension vehicle is like 18 bearings, my most complex computer limited vehicle is 66 bearings, anything over around 90 will become game limited where even a top of the line computer will not be enough to get a high framerate.
@@_Zdex007 the game is actually really optimized lol
THIS DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
I see that you put ALOT of work in this and it's amazing!
ikr
@@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890i see you everywhere. Your basically the anti-waldo
I still honestly come back every now and then to rewatch it, it's just great
22:34 i always imagined them as the guys that change the songs in the radio
not, like, taking over the radio. i mean like in real radios
bro literally same, im so surprised by this
Me too!!!!!
Really great and in-depth description! I knew all of the surface-level easter eggs but not the ones hidden inside the game files, which were extremely intriguing.
The unused sound effect ''water_movement_small'' is a Raft egg. It is the sound the shark makes when swimming in the water.
Thanks for your reply, really appreciate the feedback! I took the unused sound effects off the SM leaks website (The community-run leaking website for Scrap Mechanic) the audio file is listed as Unused Audio so that is why I listed it in there.
I'll have to check that for myself, I didn't ever remember hearing a water movement sound whenever the Raft Shark moved. Good find though!
im surprised you didnt include the fertiliser and seed containers that are unused but fully functional,even having descriptions
also the trader asset is called questgiver in game files,so originally you werent supposed to trade with him,but to complete his quests to get stuff like the spudgun
Oh I probably could of mentioned the fertiliser and seed containers in the cut content entry although they are pretty much the same as the other containers but they can only contain one of each item.
In the game files I knew that the trades were label as quests but I had no idea the trader was referred to as a quest giver. Even though in chapter 2 will add actual quests to the game instead of the trades we have now.
I was poking thorough the game code and found a JSON file filled with Quest descriptions. It's all making sense now. Most of the descriptions looked like placeholder text like "Hello. This is a quest description". But there were other Quests such as:
Title: "Wood for food"
Description: "Give us refined wood blocks and I will give you some blueberry seeds."
Title: "This may chip away at you"
Description: "Potatoes rarely ketchup until they're cut to size and fried."
However my favorite quest was the very last one in the file which was:
Title: "Countered Strike"
Description: "Terrorists win."
@@embergamedev Damn, I should of looked more into the quests, I knew they existed but I never thought of reading through the scripts as thoroughly to find a counter strike reference, Nice find though.
@@Jotrain i revisited the video recently, have you found other things?
jotrain: explains conspiracy theories about my favourite game
me just vibing to the music:
"All great things come from Sweden." But not everything that comes from Sweden is great... *stares extremely intensly at Nestle*
6:50 literally the first thing I did when I realized you could add any creation to the main menu was add the replica I made of the main menu vehicle
dam those voice lines were pretty interesting
knowing that the guy met the trashbot, that might show us that not on every warehouse there are trashbots
Wooooooooohh wedge gang for everyone
Scrapman accidentally discovers suspension mug
axolot doesn't want to add to the story, so we do it ourselves.
33:56
Wait it's all McDonald?
Always has been
Hi, thanks for making the video, I wanted to make one myself, but I couldn't due to lack of montage knowladge. Thank you for making an iceberg and explaining it to us! Keep it up!
Damn! I've been playing Scrap Mechanic for years now, but I've never been this immersed in the story. Respect!
I AM AMAZED THAT THERE WAS THAT WHO REALLY DID IT, I thought it was my idea and I wanted to implement it but was late;(
Well if you're dedicated enough, you could also make another Iceberg of the things I forgot to mention in this one (perhaps when chapter 2 comes out then you would have more to talk about).
That's not "the deeper you go, the more unsettelling it get" but more the deeper you go, the less people know.
Wow! Thank you very much for sharing/making this! It was highly valuable and fascinating for me watching your video! I felt something like goose bumps and a big want to replay the game once again but with a totally different perspective as before. - A bit scary but interesting one, hehe
Thank you for your Work and your beeing!
nice video, i learned a lot about the game from this video, keep up the good work :D
I love your automatic death run although the floor going into the sides is kinda hard to bait but still a great deathrun
Well I'm glad you're watching my content since you enjoyed the Death Run so much! ;)
Holy crap dude! This video is awesome! And the radio interference and the straggler logs hit me in the horror side…. Love this video!
I will not be at peace listening to the radio anymore
The robots saying "soon, we will find you" was heard in one of spycakes old videos from 2016 titled "transforming camper 1.0" where he has a highlighted clip.
Amazing video! Was really interesting to see all the hidden things and dark backstories that Scrap Mechanic has kept secret.
I can’t wait for chapter 2 that will be fun
Amazing video! Great job.
10:55 i believe that that is actually one of the devs, and that that is not a cornish pastry, but rather a calzone, which are very popular here in sweden
When researching I saw a post in reddit about the image and when of the post said it appeared to be Cornish pastry so I went for that.
I thought the "you are not welcome" part of the sign was obviously visible in-game. I noticed it almost straight away the first time I saw the sign.
im so proud of being a swede with minecraft and scrapmechanic on my side
this was such a good video, i knew sm had some lore behind it but i didn't know it went this deep
Same
very nice btw in one of the audio parts the text is behind the bearing logo nice work on making the bearing look like SM mods
Yeah I know when I was adding captions to the video I noticed it but it was too-late to do anything about it. If you want to read what the mechanic is saying you can enble the captions.
Great format!
this was a god damnnnnnnn gooooooooooood video
Came from reddit, stayed for content.
omg your iceberg was awesome, you put a lot of effort into it, you have to get a lot of likes for that, and wow that makes sense for building and farmer.
omg if that would have gone in the wrong direction, the game would no longer be child-friendly, with the hangman, it would have been taken from the game sale place form or come out from +16 years of age. soo creepy, amazing work!
thanks for the hard work :)
I love icebergs + I love scrap mechanic = i love this video/youtuber
I’m surprised not many people know about the radio interruptions, they’re quite noticeable.
It not really that people didn’t notice the interruptions, it just most people (including myself) didn’t listen to what they were saying. It’s only until I looked into the radio on the wiki that I realised the robots were actually talking about and to the mechanic.
@@Jotrain ohhh- that makes more sense...
24:39 just speculation but this if, or was at one point, a default or alternative tile used if world generation threw an error for any reason, the giant red arrow probably serves to let you see worldgen errors at a glance without scrutinizing the entire map, it's likely the product of an annoying issue that involved lots of repetitive testing to tease out and probably cut some time off of those iterations.
"Just speculation" it's literally called error
😎Hey ! Thank you very much ^^ - Greets by team -"Serious Toys"
why is this so underrated?!?
Now im gonna put those "welcome" sings on the cannons of my tanks as a meme
amazing video
31:17 gave me a bloody heart attack lol
same....
NPE_Drone_Shoot is used for the farmbot fertilizer cannon
Edit: I think that the water_movement_big and water_movement_small are used for swimming sounds, just slowed down a bit
Edit 2: I also found out that the old Indestructible block got replaced not by the cracked concrete block, but by a hidden block called "Framework block", wich is basically just recolored rusted metal
That might actually be the case, saying that on the SM leaks website (The community-run leaking website for Scrap Mechanic) the audio file is listed as Unused Audio. In brackets, it does mention that it could be the Farmbot Pesticide Gun Shoot sound, but It hasn't been confirmed so it's assumed to be unused but you never know. smleaks.com/unused/audio
yup! just commented that then deleted when I found out you'd already mentioned it. The second water sound effect is the one that is used when swimming I believe.
Great video!
those clips from before the survival update just turned my brain to ultimate nostalgia... man i wish i could still play those older verisions...
You can play the older versions
That's a really good video and i just realized i'm watching 800 sub channel wow
Waw, this video is wonderful, you taught me some info that I didn't know despite my research in the game files and on the internet.
You should be interested in this story of suicide qitte to make an episode of it, I tried to search, but I found nothing :\.
Thank you for this delicious episode, and keep it up 😀
It’s a small thing, but...
For me, when you fall into the abyss in challenge mode, sometimes you can hear the voice of a robot or a person saying something like "Нет" that translates as No to English from Russian - a language used in the USSR
Haven’t found the abandoned capsules yet! That’s pretty cool I’ll have to have a look.
Great video
16:35 you know your development cycle is slow when someone has already cloned your game on a much more limited platform before you even post a update.
After 2000 hours of scrap mechanic I still learn new stuff and have new ideas :D It´s a very very deep game . Everything is possible here.
Hopefully they update this game before 2030
I saw the reddit post, and immediately downloaded it. I even extracted the bank file myself to check if anything else was added in a minor update. I fully transcripted all the VO_Straggler files, and am working to peice together a functioning theory about what happened. Fun fact, the hideout in the warehouse is mentioned in the audio file, but right after has a food update that states that he found a box of bananas; which can be seen as the table in the middle of the room, folded.
5:13 Fun fact: I was the guy who suggested the creation of a jumping stabilizer mug
probably my favorite is the robots talking to each other
The robots interrupting the radio honestly feels a bit like a less sinister version of entry 17 in Undertale!
Thank you!
That is a very good iceberg 😀
Man the SM soundtrack is nostalgic
6:55 with that meme, it just reminded me, you can actually play the most recent survival-free version of SM still, by using steam's beta feature in properties
SCRAP MECHANIC RESPECTS THE MOTHERLAND what a slav axolot
Keep it up 😀
wow from what I have seen about the game I did not know this much stuff was hidden I thought it was like a you crashed and now stranded on this planet type game but no it is WAY deeper and darker than I thought it was
Funfact: MLB as the registration plate says (17:48), MLB is used in almost all swedish car advertisment
very cool :D.
22:35 is is really spooky, I knew at first that is were robots talking, but that it actually means something was a bit shocking to me
29:51 hello techno. Nice to hear you.
i was expecting an actual iceberg about scrap mechanics
11:20 I already knew that, probably even before I got the game. I noticed the you are not welcome sign the first time I saw it
1:33 dont forget the mouse, bearing and propeller
33:54
Vietnam
i like how scrap mechanic is a funny cartoony building game but the survival mode has dark and unnerving lore
It would be so cool to have a mod that adds all the scrapped bots and tools
Super video
Imagine if the QR code was actually a rickroll.
0:10
actually... the limits are a lot.
That's why people have to download mods, to build good stuff.
never in a billion years would i have noticed the voices in the radio
33:55 i said mac Donald's for fun and then bursted out with laughter
The only thing holding scrap mechanic back is the lag.
yes you could build literally anything in the game but its hard to enjoy such master pieces at 10 fps
honestly radio part kinda creeps me out but not when am playing with a friend
17:46 I am pretty sure that the concave wedge is actually in the game, I swear I've used it on some of my creations (albeit in creative mode)
same with the license plate
Yes the concave wedge and license plate have now been implemented into the game but they were originally intended for the farmer vehicles thus I included them.
Minecraft was the first thing I tought it looks like.
32:11 that sounded like the robot saying "youre not funny"
1:33
Wow I didn’t know so many iconic things came from Sweden (except for Minecraft and Sweden I knew those two)
Theres so many things that could have been added to the game to make it great. Yet we have none of that. All we have are rumors of dwv blogs now.
I got an idea, and to explain... What if you brought scrap mechanic and minecraft to be more similar? Maybe like minecraft, except you can engineer or something like that.
man I watched wanderbot play scrap mechanic and this brings back alot of nostalgia
Ok cool moog city is on of my favorite Minecraft themes
I like how he points out where things are even though the sm survival world is procedurally generated
Yes the map is procedurally generated however all the key tiles are located in the same locations regardless.
@@Jotrain I was mainly making a joke, but I get ya
Its a great game trust me i have 1218.3 hours in it (will hopefully be a better game when finished)
hay you need To change your Smoke detector. at 27:13 I heard your smoke alarm go off Telling you that it's battery is low. And by the way the video was awesome
The Soundtrack in the Abyss gave me an anxiety attack
Funny you say that because the music comes from Cities Skylines which is a city builder game.
I feel like the robots on the radio sound way more sophisticated then the regular haybots and greenies and the farm bots
23:35 Mechanic cannot escape! *mechanical laughter that sounds like retro game sound effects*
This comment is actually kinda boring looking back at it 😐
thank you
"hej" is actually from Polish too
