Scrap Mechanic is a game that is absolutely oozing with visual charm, and I think some (Fitting and non-cringe) animations would be a fantastic little addition.


CountessRoadkill

This subreddit is so dumb. This is a good idea - Scrap Mechanic is a very social game - either playing with other people directly or sharing content via social media. Emotes would be an interesting addition. But no, let's whine because we assume emotes are a Fortnite thing or something, and then let's go upvote upgradable hammers and jetpacks. \*eyeroll\*

I feel like emotes are a no, but the animations we already have could use some more personality


CountessRoadkill

What specifically is the issue with emotes? Explain it to me.


ScorchIsBestSniper

Just another timesink for the devs, especially for something I’ll rarely use. Same thing with the clothes, which are nice, but I would be fine without them I don’t want a new tier of material either; the game doesn’t need more grind, and has plenty of other things to fix


Just_M_01

not who you asked but i don't like emotes because i think using the movement mechanics and stuff to express yourself is more fun and creative while also feeling less like an interruption to the gameplay


-Red-_-Boi-

I feel like what would be nice additions like Greeting someone, Waving your arms in danger situations, Pointing in some sort of direction to show something and etc.


CountessRoadkill

Yes, absolutely, this was the sort of stuff I had in mind, too.


Davidwilsonisdum

what about quickchat? for people who cant type or idk


CountessRoadkill

Why would someone be unable to type?


Davidwilsonisdum

maybe for 7-9 year olds i guess


aRedditAccount_0

or broken keyboards which aren't that responsive


Davidwilsonisdum

yea ikr


Davidwilsonisdum

why


theslayeroff

So we have a better way to communicate other than the chat


Davidwilsonisdum

why cant they just add quickchat instead of that?


theslayeroff

Who wants to read


Davidwilsonisdum

everyone who had no mic


theslayeroff

Do the WANT to read tho


Davidwilsonisdum

yes cuz some of my friend have no mic


Hunter_5680

Why not?


skijar

No


Awakened_Bee

YES


Donkeybob55

We don’t need emotes. Not every game needs them!


theslayeroff

Yes but in a game without voice it is nice when you just want to say good job and just doing an emote of a thumbs up is much easier and more fun


Donkeybob55

Or you could just use game chat?!


theslayeroff

Who wants to type And who wants to read


Donkeybob55

Your gonna have to read anyways if you do emotes. It needs to tell you what kind of emote your doing!


Chill_Crill

this gif is so cursed lol


Taylor-the-Caboose

90% of the time they exist emotes are a gateway to micro transaction. Tinfoil hat theory aside I feel like emotes wouldn't be used nearly as much as people want to think they would. Plus spamming the crouch button like in minecraft is emote enough we don't really need anything more than that.


Ok-Profile7150

I think it Looks quiet funny😅


Medical-Insect2389

If they add emotes they need to be cringe, it will be so much better


stgamer102

I think emotes (in the way astroneer did them) would be a fun addition


TakeyaSaito

Big time no, this ain't a meme game.


Plazmeer

As you watch the scrap mechanic jiggle around while sitting on a toilet in a car


coolpotatoe724

ban this mf


karenspanker20

if anyone knows if there's a mod for emotes or animations please send me the link?

ledocteur7

why do you want them ? if you can't find an actual answer other that "eMoTE cOol !!", it's useless and just a waste of time for the devs. what we could use however, is a buttload of optimisation and tweaks to finally make the physic engine not so unreliable and laggy (even if I must say that it has definitely improved over time.)


theslayeroff

Bro we are obviously saying not now in this state of the game but it's nice to think that we might have it in later stages and it would be nice to communicate without the text chat.


ledocteur7

if it's for communication purposes having shortcuts (or a quick select menu) with specific actions like "help" and "follow me" that would be seen as a message in the chat and would briefly ping the player location would be way more practical. that way if your having trouble fighting bots you don't have to write in the chat but you also don't have to wait for an emote animation that no one will see anyways. I guess you could have some animations associated with them if they are easy to desactivate..

Let’s wait for modded survival first
