You really undersold the latest update-- draggable wedges, physics improvements, and netcode fixes are INSANELY valuable to those who are still playing the game
Those updates should have been released in 2022. I really want to play this game but the infrequent updates keep me from getting the game. Now I only watch scrapman and kan waiting for the developers to release chapter two
"undersold"....right... Draggable wedges - all wedges were already achievable before the update. Physics improvements - only improvement is you can put a lot of tiny loose parts. Other than that countless creations were broken because they changed part collisions and weakened the joints. Moreover these physics changes don't only apply to "Smart" physics (which, other than the part I mentioned before, only dynamically changes the physics level depending on creation requirements -> means you could already achieve the same result before update by lowering physics) but also to the others so you cant even escape the creation-breaking changes. Netcode fixes - there are no noticeable ones. Astonishingly it is worse than before: constant player desync which was much better before the update. Believe me, (at the very least for the technical side of SM), this update is virtually nothing but a stepback and people are calling for a rework in the next update. It is quite obvious that this update was just a way for them to just delay chapter 2 yet again and still have the "promised update of 2024". (this by no means should stop people from playing the game or anything of the sort, I know i will keep on playing. It is just such a shame to see how they completely disregard everything that was made before the updates by changing physics and other unnecessary things like hitboxes... same thing happened with survival update.) ok thats a chunky reply.... probaly should be a comment instead....
My first ever game on steam was scrap mechanic, around July 2016. I was already watching people like scrapman for ages and always wanting to actually play it. Around 1000 hours and i honestly still enjoy this game
@@EsodillaIt’s been a really long time since the last major update, it may not be all to easy to find something fun to do, but it’s still fully up to your creativity as to what to create. The shear amount of stuff that is possible with the system already in place is obscene for a game that technically hasn’t even gone through a full release. I don’t expect anyone to stick by the game for all this time without any big updates, but ya can’t think that there isn’t still stuff to do, it has more streamlined possibilities than Minecraft for what’s possible in game, and look at the amount of stuff that just keeps coming from technical Minecraft! Read this in a casual tone, I mean no hostility!
@@Esodilla honestly when I dont play survival, I just do what I originally did and just mess around with other peoples creations and time to time build my own
i think the most important thing for enjoying Scrap Mechanic is pacing yourself. playing the game for a bit, then giving it a break, then coming back to it is key to leaving the experience with the game fun
I believe smaller, content adding updates (doesn’t have to be anything related to chapter 2 and its lore) would be better than silence for many, many years.
As someone who only recently started to play Scrap Mechanic (for various reasons I did not have a system capable until this month) I feel like I am able to enjoy it without the disappointment because my expectations were never for what should have been
Really good video, only thing that stood out to me was the *pop* sound almost every time you show an image, its kinda annoying after some time. Also i think using different images for "exiciment" (Ninja 20x in the video) or "axolotl" would improve the video, for example the first time you talk about "Axolotl" you show the logo of the company and after that every time you mention it you show different pictures of real axolotls, and again chill with the pop sound. Anyway great video for a channel with under 200 subs. Here before one million
@@Esodilla i think physics are way more than just qualety of live there a core mekanic of the game and its sad to have a realy cool consept in your head for a cool elevator desin or something just for the physics to glitch out and it all breaking as soon as you turn it on That was ok in 1018 or something but having the same problemd nearly 7 yeahrs later is sad to see
I do see the frustration as i play geometry dash and had to wait over 7 years for a update that kept getting delayed. But especially for 3D games, development is a hard thing when adding features as the smallest changes can cause errors in the code to show. So sometimes slow development is nessacary to complete updates
i wached scrap mechanic on youtube since 2016 and played it since 2020 its my most played game on steam but the devs dont care about the game anymore so unfortunately i had to swich to trailmakers this year beacouse its still alive and it still gets updates I wish it would still get updates beacouse that game made my childhood
@@Esodillathey are doing a LOT with the chapter 2 update, for it to actually work and be playable it takes time for a smaller team. Though I do think they could’ve trickled content slowly that they were done with rather than waiting for just one big update
I agree that the wait for chapter twio has been way too long, but you are comparing the game to two entireley different games. It would be better to compare it to say Trailmakers and Screw Drivers

The latest update was the first in many years and it brought basically nothing compared to the content other games have produced in the same timeframe
@@Esodilla no? that was a full physics rewrite
@@halalouis3814full physics rewrite is a stretch

Really, what else is there to do in the game after all these years?

Almost exactly the same thing for me, too, although i got the game later on.

I'm fine with slow development.
I mean, they optimized a lot in this last update, and if quality takes time, I'm not complaining.
I believe smaller, content adding updates (doesn’t have to be anything related to chapter 2 and its lore) would be better than silence for many, many years.
Definitely
I really hope that the next scrap mechanic update can revive the game a little bit. Underrated vid tho ❤❤
As someone who only recently started to play Scrap Mechanic (for various reasons I did not have a system capable until this month) I feel like I am able to enjoy it without the disappointment because my expectations were never for what should have been
I feel like the Survival mode is empty and doesn’t have much to do in it

great vid i loved the game and have been playing it for so long but honestly i was more frustrated by the physics than the lack of communication
Yea the game needs a lot of quality of life updates along with content overall
@@Esodilla i think physics are way more than just qualety of live there a core mekanic of the game and its sad to have a realy cool consept in your head for a cool elevator desin or something just for the physics to glitch out and it all breaking as soon as you turn it on

you know you done messed up when your most popular content creator on your game (scrapman) now only plays your game on mondays 😭
great video though!
Exactly there’s nothing to make content on on the game
I would really love to know why ppl dislike the video
Good job anyway, just lower the sound of sound effect next time pls !

Not a bad video at all! feels like it is from a mainline youtuber!

i had enough time between the major realises to study to be come an actual mechanic
Wasn't expecting scrapman here but hey
I Love This Video Its So Amazing
thay are a small team thay don't have the man power to releace on time
4 - 5 years is a crazy amount of time though no matter the amount of people
@@Esodillathey are doing a LOT with the chapter 2 update, for it to actually work and be playable it takes time for a smaller team. Though I do think they could’ve trickled content slowly that they were done with rather than waiting for just one big update
Yea I agree with that
yeah, its sad
I agree that the wait for chapter twio has been way too long, but you are comparing the game to two entireley different games. It would be better to compare it to say Trailmakers and Screw Drivers
I was comparing Scrap Mechanic to those games because of the delays in Silksongs Release and the launch of No Mans Sky, not the genre itself
