That wide flatbed is a nightmare and doing that mission the "right" way is about a hundred times harder than just using the crane arm I did the fuselage legit because I'd hauled that goddamn trailer all the way out there and by God I was gonna use it, but the wings I hauled out on a couple of regular flatbeds

Wrapped up the last few tasks and contests in season 7, still have to do the coops to register it as complete but feel satisfied Another excellent region in a season full of great maps. I didn't even mind not having a second map, because the technical challenges were pretty unique in this region and hard enough I enjoyed the short routes to go rescue myself. I didn't even mind hauling everything from one spot, because that path was just good enough to not be too tedious and let me break out some underused vehicles. The new car is neat for a bunch of the quarry trails since it can skid over stuff pretty well. Didn't get a lot of use out of the sprinter but really liked it's look. The only thing I didn't like was the weird announcer as you go through areas. Makes things seem really post apocalyptic to hear an announcement on repeat of someone's lights on in the parking lot in a dead, empty world void of humans

I played Spintires and then Mudrunner when it came out and had fun, but always ended up bouncing off because there really wasn't much guidance in the game. Ended up picking up Snowrunner during the sale based on a variety of recommendations, and I'm mostly having fun. I'm struggling a bit with "progression" and exactly where to go / what to do that's within my capabilities. I've unlocked most of the trucks on the first Michigan map (the Chevvy Pickup, the Lodestar, the Scout 800, the Kodiak, and some GMC highway truck that sucks)but I'm running out of activities that I can manage with what I have. The Lodestar is great but without better wheels I'm just not able to complete many of the remaining tasks because they need me to drive through deep mud and I just don't have the ability to manage that yet. Am I missing something with progression? Alaska seems out of my league too, and I haven't looked at Russia yet. I just feel a little boxed in and like I am missing something. Also, the sheer volume of trucks is a bit overwhelming. Are there certain ones I should focus on upgrading as my main workhorses?

JerikTelorian posted:Also, the sheer volume of trucks is a bit overwhelming. Are there certain ones I should focus on upgrading as my main workhorses? There are three standouts early on. The International Paystar 5070 is a well-rounded truck that starts with all-terrain tires and is available basically immediately. You can sell the starter trucks and just buy it. (Everything that costs money can be sold back for what you paid, so feel free to experiment.) The ANK Civilian doesn't have as many build options as most trucks, but it does have a strong engine and strong tires to start. It's a bit of a fuel hog though. There's a truck you can unlock on the next Michigan map that is also very strong and versatile, plus most of its upgrades are on the early Michigan maps. You can easily use it for all of Michigan and Alaska if you like.

Am I missing something with progression? Alaska seems out of my league too, and I haven't looked at Russia yet. I just feel a little boxed in and like I am missing something. For my part, I suggest mostly sticking with Michigan, initially. There is a linear progression of challenge, running from Michigan, to Alaska, to Taymyr. If all you know of Michigan is the Black River, then know that you've at most seen 25% of Michigan. For me the thing that helps is really exploring and learning the different areas. That supremely annoying mire between you and your destination might be something you can bypass entirely, with a tweak to your route. It might be something subtle (winching around the edge of something tough), or it might involve a smartly observed shortcut, or perhaps the longer route that actually is quicker due to fewer hazards. This game is *all about* smart route selection, and to be able to make those smart calls, you need to develop a familiarity with each area. More than any game I think I've ever played, I came to know each area of Snowrunner (that I've played thus far) like the back of my hand. And you feel like *such* a boss, when it all comes together. That isn't to say that vehicle selection, and vehicle upgrading isn't important. It absolutely is. Expanding your toolbox, and all that. Choosing the right tool for the job. But you can come to a sticky end even with a great vehicle, if not used well. In any case, everything you need to beast Michigan is in Michigan. Scout, explore, and expand your sense of the different ways you can get from place to place. Edit: In terms of *my* Snowrunner... Amur is sufficiently hot and sweaty that I decided to step away from my strict approach of going through each world location in release order. So I've been taking a break from Amur, and have been spending time in the Tennessee world location. Sometimes I want 'comfort gaming' Snowrunner  magimix fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jul 9, 2022 |

Ended up picking up Snowrunner during the sale based on a variety of recommendations, and I'm mostly having fun. With some relatively mild effort, assuming you're okay with  skipping ahead, you can get a Tayga 6436 - a very good truck that comes with big bouncy mud tires pre-installed - near the start of the first Taymyr map (Drowned Lands, I think). It's at the red circle on this map (sidenote: maprunner.info is a drat good tool in general. You unlock it free for your own use by finishing the task "SOS" that it's right next to - bring repairs & fuel.IIRC you can do this right from rank 1 with an International Loadstar 1700 - great scout in general, btw - but the terrain in Taymyr is a big step up in assholishness from Michigan and Alaska, so it might take a few tries. Related note: for some reason you have to warp to a Russian map to buy Russian trucks, and same for American trucks. Janky UI thing. Other truck recommendations - some're locked by rank, I forget, so sorry if I recommend something you can't actually get yet  - (A, Heavy) Western Star 6900 TwinSteer - l o n g t r u c k. Good truck right at the off; with upgrades, there's nothing in the game that's better for carrying 4u of cargo - (R, Offroad) Voron AE-4380 - well-balanced, and fast if you're a baller with highrange gears. Kinda crap fuel tho - (R, Offroad) Azov 64131- the epitome of slow-but-steady. Good fuel economy. Sort-of-replaced by the Azov 73210 later - (R, Offroad) Azov 5319 - above but faster & really bad economy Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 10, 2022 |

You don't need three scouts and you don't lose money selling trucks, so you can sell the Chevy and the 800 and you can always buy them back later if for some reason you miss them (you won't, the Loadstar is all you'll ever need in a scout, even on later maps). As already mentioned, sell the Kodiak and the crappy GMC and buy the Paystar. That truck will see you through Michigan and Alaska with ease. Once you're used to the Paystar, hop over to Alaska (it's not so scary now you've got a real truck) and use it to find the Royal BM17. You now have two real trucks and two different regions to use them in. As for which trucks you should buy, you just need to build a good fleet. Find trucks you like for the roles you need and focus on those rather than playing truck Pokémon. I generally run a couple of haulers, a scout, a rescue truck with a heavy crane for when I do something dumb, a fuel truck and a heavy duty for the end of map "boss" missions.

The F2070A is right next to the garage in Black River and it's all the truck you need for most of Michigan. You can either repair/refuel it or just drag it into the entrance zone and then swap into it. Progression early on really sucks as you're stuck with trucks that can only accomplish 1 or 2 things and nothing in the game tells you what those things are, but it is doable.

Thanks for the tips; there were a few things holding me back that you all cleared up. First, I had spent money on upgrading a couple of trucks which left me with low funds. At one point I filled a fuel trailer to take for an objective, not realizing that I needed a specific one on the map. This left me with low money and I was getting worried I didn't have the resources to get what I'd need to complete new tasks. In addition, I assumed I needed to finish Black River before I did the rest of Michigan, so I was artificially limiting what I had available; this also meant I had few opportunities for leveling up and unlocking better gear. Now that I realized I can resell stuff (and so dumped a bunch of the crap I have lying around) and that I don't need to address every obstacle immediately, I've been spreading out a lot and can feel the pace of the game changing a lot. I'm exploring the maps with my scouts and finding all kinds of stuff; money and rep is piling up as I clean up small objectives. Also, by focusing on the towers I'm finding all those bonus trailers (sometimes with stuff on them) for completing objectives fast, which is nice. Anyway, I've been using the Scout 800, Chevy CK1500, and the Lodestar 2070 pretty much exclusively. I did recover that Western Star and I am upgrading it, and working on recovering other Michigan trucks. The Scout 800 is honestly a blast to drive; it's plucky as all hell and comes with a great supply kit to boot. Thing bounces all over the place but with an autonomous winch even the occasional spill won't take it out of the action. I sold a bunch of the other stuff, as well as some trailers to make some extra scratch.

If you find yourself running low on funds in future, download the free anniversary DLC pack and sell both those trucks for a smooth ~200k. By now you're probably realized that the economy being zero sum means it rapidly becomes a joke and it's not gonna break anything

Yeah, the Scout 800 is a fun car to drive! I'm personally a big fan of the KHAN 317 (DLC ute though, sadly. Worth the price I paid for it though) as well as the beast of a car YAR 87, once I was eventually able to get it. So yeah, you've got one of the more enjoyable cars already IMO, but there are definitely some fun vehicles to come! As someone mentioned earlier, I'd definitely recommend getting the BM17 from Alaska, since it was my main workhorse for quite a while. (I THINK it's in the southern area west of the starting garage, but could be wrong. Added tags in case you don't want any hints) Definitely keep exploring Michigan as your main play area though, IMO - since there's a good variety of truck types scattered around there, which will help flesh out your garage for performing a variety of jobs and rescues

Yar 87 will rip through anything you put in front of it on any map, love that drat thing. Also real good on fuel because it carries a bunch and it's got 6 huge tires that really thrive in low gear when it gets rough. Best radar scout as well 750 owns as well once you get its final engine upgrade but its horn is a sad and feeble thing edit - don't sleep on the Voron AE once you get it either, that's the mistake I made and didn't bust it out of the packaging until deep into launching a rocket and it's a fuckin blast. Big beautiful tires and speedy as gently caress

Oh yeah, another money related point to add to EHF's message - so definitely sell all your crap trucks, but also sell your old add-ons when you buy new ones. Since (correct me if I'm wrong. It's been a little while since I last played) as I recall, the game will only sell the currently equipped add-ons with the truck when you sell it. So you might have a whole pile of money tied up on add-ins you aren't even aware of, until you rebuy a truck later and notice you've got like, five sets of the default headlights or something EDIT: Man this thread's moving fast! Cease to Hope posted:are you sure you're not thinking of the khan marshal, the one that's a jeep and included in year 1? the khan sentinel, the pickup truck, is unlocked in amur (season 4/year 1), which is a shame because by the time you can do amur you probably do not need a random unremarkable pickup truck. Well, both are fun to drive, but the Khan Marshal uses fuel up way too fast, as well as the lack of tow capabilities as you mentioned. I dunno, my perspective may be different as I used the Khan 317 from the very beginning when I didn't have the YAR etc, but it was a pretty fun ute still! Give it mud tires, raised suspension, and you can tackle all sorts. It's also longer than the Marshal, so you won't flip over when going up/down hills Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jul 12, 2022 |
