How you can help
The site runs on free tiers right now, which keeps it online but not self-growing — it stays useful because people like you pitch in. Here's everything that actually moves the needle.
Spread the word
Most people hunting for Scrap Mechanic creations still dig through Steam's native Workshop browser. Telling a friend, posting a link in a Discord, or sharing a creation on Reddit is by far the single biggest thing you can do.
Every creation page now has a Share button next to View on Steam Workshop — one click copies the link.
Submit creations we've missed
The auto-ingest only picks up trending items. Hidden gems that never went viral slip through. If you have one in mind — your own or someone else's — drop the Workshop URL at /submit. A moderator reviews it and it goes live.
Vote and tag
Every approved creation has up/down votes and a community tag system. The more people who vote on creations, the better the rating sorts work. If a creation is missing a tag you'd search for — add it. At +3 net votes, it becomes visible to everyone.
Report what's wrong
Every creation page has a Report button. Wrong tags, low quality, spam, missing co-authors — if something's off, flag it. A moderator handles it and the catalogue gets a little better.
Individual comments can be reported too.
Suggest features
Almost every meaningful improvement to the site came from a user idea. Drop yours on the ideas board — it's a public, voted, triaged list, not a black hole.
Flag bugs
Found something broken, ugly, or unclear? Post it on the ideas board with the bug tag or open an issue on GitHub. Verified bug reports earn the 🐛 Bug hunter badge.
Money support
Right now there's no way to donate — I haven't set up a Patreon, Ko-fi, or anything similar yet. But if the site grows, it'll eventually outgrow the free tiers, and at that point financial support would genuinely help keep it online and improving. If you'd like to contribute that way later, check back — I'll add a link here when something's set up.
In the meantime the items above are the most useful things you can do.
