Welcome to the machine-filled creative paradise of Scrap Mechanic, a multiplayer survival game with imagination and ingenuity at its core. Added lights to ruins. The range of the packing station automatic fruit/vegetable selection is much more forgiving. Reduced the speed of projectiles fired from the Vacuum Pump. Added new sound effects when the mechanic is hungry or thirsty. Added new sound effect when almost out of breath while diving. Spudling gun windup sound effect added.
Encryptor is an object in Scrap Mechanic.

Overview[edit | edit source]
Encryptors are used to prevent players from removing objects in Warehouses. These cannot be deactivated, as they are hidden in an inaccessible area and using Explosive Canisters to blow them off does not do anything after they are detached.
Encryptors are currently unable to be obtained by players without editing the game files.
However, if you blow the Encryptor off the wall and manage to move it into the elevator and take it to the roof, you can then pick it up with the Weld Tool.
Creations with Encryptors attached cannot be placed on the Lift.
Encryptors have a 'use' prompt, but currently only work like switches.
They currently cannot be connected to battery containers.

Upcoming[edit | edit source]
