Is this on PS4?

[Munnky]

My 6 yr old son fell in love with the game after watching Scrapman on youtube. Was hoping it wasn't PC only.

it cannot be supported on console because pcs are barely powerful enough

is there any games like trailmakers or more that are basically the same as scrap mechanic and are they on ps4

[pljohnson456]

no

[Jo3yization]

Trailmakers is on PS4. Don't see why scrap mechanic wouldnt work, theyd simply have to add a few limits or some form of culling for excessive builds.

space engineer that is near of the same game is released or soon to be on xbox
duno for ps4
tought xbox seem to be a restrained pc

Guys you are all replying to a topic from over a year ago, im sure the dude has either shown his son how to play games on computer or they moved on to some other title.

Also lol at the mention of Trailmakers, that game is built in Unity, while im sure some work was involved essentially they just had to press a few buttons and bam, console version, Scrap Mechanic is built on a custom-made game engine that doesnt come with built-in support for consoles.

Space Engineers comparison is much better, they too have written their own game engine, but in fairness they've been working on that engine since 2010-2012, where the scrap mechanic guys only started in 2016, might seem like nitpicking but those 4-6 years difference is exactly why Keen Software House can afford to start doing console port, their engine is 'done' & properly tested. Same cant be said for Axolot/Scrap Mechanic.

If its going to happen it will still be a pretty long time away in the future, remember they call the current game version 0.4, they dont even consider the game half done yet at this point, so it simply doesnt make sense for them to start thinking about other platforms yet.

you have to play yourself at space engineer for checkhow is done and proprelly tested
if i was so satisfacted with a game with lot more feature i will not cone here
as you mentioned the platform is related with their skill to port it and many console game are never on pc
their is no rule they want what they can and prefere
