Changes: Encryptor

Revision as of 16:28, 26 October 2020

Encryptor is an object in Scrap Mechanic.

Overview

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 gas 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.

Variants

Connection Encryptor

Prevents players from viewing/editing connections with the Connect Tool.

Destruction Encryptor

Prevents players from removing objects. This variant is also known as the Protector.

Upcoming

Encryptors in Warehouses may be able to be deactivated at some point in the future.

Encryptors may also be available for use by players. Their item descriptions indicate that they will require power in the form of a connected Battery Container.
