Scrap Mechanic Raid Calculator

The current raid manager activates a planting cluster when its crop value is greater than zero and starts a 60-second countdown. That means even one positive-value crop can begin raid timing in 1.0; pre-1.0 advice about a universally safe number of crops should not be applied unchanged.

Planting positions within 10 game units merge into one cluster. The manager associates the raid area with a 96-unit radius, so separating beds visually does not necessarily create separate calculations.

The released level thresholds are 1, 50, 100, 550, 1,000, and 5,500, with Super Raid using the strict condition value > 10,000. Exactly 10,000 remains level 6; 10,001 crosses into level 7. This strict boundary is easy to miss when reading a simplified threshold table.

Within the active band, the crop value is interpolated between that level’s minimum and maximum bot budget. The calculator applies all 10 current crop values rather than treating every planted item as one equal point.

Each additional counted player adds 50% of the level’s minimum budget. The modifier is capped at ×2, so it reaches its maximum at three players. Adding a fourth player does not raise this specific modifier further.

After the opening group, the game repeatedly chooses from affordable weighted groups and subtracts their cost. The current catalog contains 59 opening and budget groups across 9 public enemy identities.

Crop value, level, budget, affordable groups, selection probabilities, expected enemy counts, and mathematical per-enemy ranges can be derived from released rules. The final group sequence depends on runtime random choices, so two raids with the same crops and players can produce different valid compositions.

Spawn direction, exact positions, navigation paths, and terrain reachability depend on the live world. The calculator keeps those outcomes outside its promise instead of turning unknown runtime state into false precision.
