What does Sticky Mat do in Scritchy Scratchy?
Sticky Mat is the protection step in the Scritchy Scratchy movement setup. This guide explains what it holds still, when to use it, and how to leave room for special tickets.
Sticky Mat protects tickets from Fan
Sticky Mat creates an area where tickets are unaffected by Fan. That makes it useful whenever the table contains cards that should not be pushed toward Scratch Bot, including a card you want to inspect or resolve manually.
It is not a payout or scratch-strength upgrade. Its value comes from control: you can run movement automation while keeping a deliberate exception in a predictable place.
Use Sticky Mat for manual decisions
Move a ticket to Sticky Mat when you are not ready to automate it. This can be a newly unlocked card whose rules you are still reading, a special result that needs attention, or a card you want to keep separate from a bulk route.
A protected area also makes the table easier to debug. If the wrong card is entering the bot, simplify the layout, keep the card on Sticky Mat, and then reintroduce Fan with one test ticket rather than adding more speed.
Super Jackpot handling
The developer discussion describes a special Mundo interaction: when Mundo encounters a Super Jackpot ticket, it places that ticket on Sticky Mat for the player to scratch. Keep the mat available if your route uses Mundo so the special result has somewhere to go.
This is why Sticky Mat belongs in a complete automation plan even if Fan is not currently your bottleneck. It provides a safe handoff for a result that should not be treated like an ordinary completed ticket.
A protected-table checklist
Before enabling Fan, identify which cards are allowed to move and which cards need to remain still. Put the protected cards on the mat, leave a clear path to Scratch Bot, and run a small batch while watching the handoff.
