Question 1

What is a Scrap Mechanic save editor?

Accepted Answer

Opens a Survival world .db so you can change what's sitting in the backpack and chests. This one runs in your browser and does not upload the file.

Question 2

Does this upload my Scrap Mechanic save?

Accepted Answer

No. The .db stays on your machine. Nothing is sent to a server.

Question 3

Where does Scrap Mechanic store Survival saves?

Accepted Answer

Survival worlds live as .db files in %APPDATA%\Axolot Games\Scrap Mechanic\User\User_<SteamID64>\Save\Survival\. Close the game before you copy or replace one.

Question 4

Can I edit a save while Scrap Mechanic is running?

Accepted Answer

No. Close Scrap Mechanic first. The game locks the file while it is running, and writing to it can corrupt the world.

Question 5

Is this an official Axolot Games tool?

Accepted Answer

No. This is an unofficial fan-made editor. Not made by Axolot Games. Scrap Mechanic is their trademark.

Question 6

Which save files work?

Accepted Answer

Works with Survival world saves as .db files. Tested with savegame version 28. Creative blueprints are a different format and are not opened here.
