Player Start is an interactive part in Scrap Mechanic.
Overview[]
The starting location of Mechanics when they spawn into the challenge. Typically, four Player Starts are placed in the map. Players will spawn on top of them facing in the direction of the arrow, and will be teleported to them if they fall off the map.
This part is exclusive in Challenge Mode and Challenge Builder.
Usage[]
In Challenge Builder, pressing E on the Player Start opens a GUI that allows numerous challenge settings to be configured.

Trivia[]
- From 0.4.8 until 0.6.0, challenge settings were configured by a set of Commands. The commands would be reset to their defaults when returning to the Challenge Builder after testing a challenge or loading a saved challenge, so they had to be used in the Challenge Builder just before submitting it to the Steam Workshop. The commands were removed and replaced by the settings accessed via the Player Start.
- Not only is configuring challenges more user-friendly with the GUI, it allows for the settings to persist after testing the challenge.
- The welcome chat message has yet to be changed, which refers to the removed commands.
