Scrap Mechanic Tools - Data In, Decisions Out
Check raid pressure before planting, total materials before loading a station, or calculate separate front-wheel limits before tuning a vehicle. Every tool exposes its inputs, rules, and limits so the result can be checked.
Covered by 614 station recipes.
From the Workbench to the Mining Hub Dispenser.
Angle range for independently steered front wheels.

Before adding one more crop
Open Raid Calculator →10 Pineapples = 10,000 points, Level 6, base budget 700. Add one Tomato and 10,001 becomes a Super Raid with a one-player budget of 1,001.

Where the 614 recipes live
The Craftbot carries most records, but the planner keeps the other eight station datasets separate so an identical output can retain the correct batch size, time, and ingredient path.

Calculation boundaries
Check which parts of a result come from recipe data, geometry, or a simulated raid before applying it to your world.
Crop values, thresholds, budget bands, player scaling, timers, and distance rules determine the exact result. Weighted group tables power the forecast.
The precise enemy sequence, drop direction, positions, terrain, and runtime navigation remain session outcomes even when probabilities are available.
It multiplies the selected recipe inputs, time, and output using the requested quantity and chosen station option.
Compare the material list with what is already in your chests. Plan any missing craftable ingredient as a separate order; its raw materials are not included in the finished item's direct total.
Wheelbase, pivot track, and inner-wheel limit determine the ideal outer angle, angle difference, turning radius, and physical bearing settings.
Tire friction, suspension movement, body contact, rear steering, multiple axles, and linkages still require an in-game test.
Tool data questions
Scrap Mechanic calculator FAQ
Short answers about coverage, calculation scope, recipe depth, and raid uncertainty.
Which Scrap Mechanic tools are available here?
Use the Raid Calculator to plan a crop cluster, the Crafting Planner to prepare a station order, and the Wheel Angle Calculator to set front steering bearings.
What does the Scrap Mechanic Raid Calculator calculate?
It totals 12 current crop values, selects one of seven raid levels, applies the player modifier, returns the exact bot budget, and simulates weighted outcomes for nine enemy variants. The forecast estimates probabilities and sample timelines; it does not claim the exact live roll or spawn position.
How much crafting data is in the Crafting Planner?
The planner contains 614 recipes across 9 stations, representing 594 unique outputs. It also identifies batch rounding, direct ingredients, station time, and known unlock routes.
Does the Crafting Planner calculate nested ingredients?
No. It deliberately totals direct recipe inputs for the selected station recipe. Craftable ingredients are labeled so you can open a separate order without mixing direct and recursive totals.
What does the Wheel Angle Calculator model?
It calculates ideal inner and outer front-wheel angles for one fixed rear axle and one independently steered front axle. Tire grip, suspension movement, body clearance, rear steering, and steering linkages remain outside the model.
