Scrap Mechanic Console Commands and Cheats

Scrap Mechanic is a multiplayer survival sandbox game currently in early access on Steam. The game is not available through Epic Games although it does share a very similar aesthetic to Fortnite. In this article we’ll show you how to enable the console commands and what cheats are usable.

Still being in early development you may come across more reasons than you’d like where cheats could save the day, be that being stuck in an elevator, or simply a distinct imbalance of needed materials.

Scrap Mechanic Console Commands Cheats

Before you can use the console commands, you have to edit the survival settings through a text editor like Notepad. Right click on Scrap Mechanic in your Steam library, go to Properties > LOCAL FILES > BROWSE LOCAL FILES > Survival > Scripts > game > SurvivalGame.lua and open it with an editor of your choice. Find the line that reads, if g_survival then and replace it with if true then. Save the changes.

With cheats enabled, you can now load up your game and press Enter to bring up the command prompt window. Type any of the codes below, remembering to start with / and hit Enter again to confirm.

These cheats will also work in multiplayer, however all players must enable them in the SurvivalGame.lua to avoid crashes.

Console Commands can also be disabled by reversing the process above, resetting it to the default, and this will not break your save.
