Changes: Encryptor

Revision as of 00:28, 1 September 2021

Connection encryptor in warehouse — Encryptor in warehouse

Encryptor is an object in Scrap Mechanic.

Destruction encryptor in warehouse — Protector in warehouse

Overview

Encryptors are intended to be used to prevent players from removing objects in Warehouses. These cannot be deactivated, as they are hidden in inaccessible areas. However, blowing through the walls and detaching them using Explosive Canisters has no effect. This is because Warehouses currently have globally enabled restrictions that prevent players from placing most objects and seeing connections. This will change in an upcoming update, which will make the Encryptors accessible and deactivating them will allow players to edit Warehouse objects as normal.

Encryptors are currently unobtainable without editing the game files. However, if you blow the Encryptor off the wall, 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, though pressing the key only shows some effects and plays sounds.

They currently cannot be connected to Battery Containers.

Variants

Encryptor

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

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, but this feature is currently unavailable.

 ==Overview==
-Encryptors are thought to be used to prevent players from removing objects in [[Warehouse]]s. But if you remove them from the warehouse chunk you still will not be able to edit the Warehouse. These cannot be deactivated, as they are hidden in an inaccessible area and using Explosive Canisters to blow them off does not do anything after they are detached.
