Ciaphas posted:is the speed boost from the Gor BY-4's best engine worthwhile compared to its 2nd best, considering i've never even been to Northern Aegis Installation and have only done enough of Urska River to get to Cosmodrome? No. NAI is probably the hardest map in the game and you should only be heading there when you want to knock out everything in the region. Don't go there without a pile of lifted chained azov 7s and zikz 605s, plus a chained boar to haul out the giant trailer

Plus fuel trailers. Like you said it's a slog just to get into the map let around move around in it without running out of gas or flipping. I did explore a ton of it with the f750 and knock out some tasks requiring trailers since it could move those around

Alright so I haven't played in a while (because i'm bad at managing games I need to beat). I've not gotten very far but I had the first season pass. I think I may have cleared much of the very first map and a little bit of Alaska. My question is: is it worth nabbing the DLC that's come out since then (I think I stopped when the first bit of Season Pass 2 was released), specifically for instantly available trucks or easily reachable upgrades? Or is it all end-game stuff I'd have to work hard to reach, and I should just wait-and-see if I'm sticking with Snowrunner before I nab it?

It's not really end-game stuff, it's just new maps. That being said, more trucks are always fun to play with, but nothing is game changing or overpowered. I'm approaching 300 hours in this game. Send help.

The DLC maps are kind of end game but if you completed one of the original maps you have enough equipment options and knowledge to cope. There's some OP (or just fun) DLC equipment to unlock only but a lot of the maximized choices are in the base game anyway so I wouldn't proceed based on equipment unless you have a favorite truck already and notice the DLC improves it (hello Twinsteer). Proceed based on "this map interests me more" if anything. End game mainly meaning garages can be awkwardly placed or have unlock conditions and route choices are often between bad ground and badder ground.

Yeah, vehicles nice, but the maps are the star of the show. If, by the time you exhaust Michigan, Alaska, and Taymyr, one is still hungry for Snowrunner, then the season pass stuff is a complete no-brainer. I spent around 200 hours in the base game, and another 200 hours in the DLC locations *thus far*. And of 7 DLC locations, I've finished 4 of them (in terms of main 'contracts'; I've not 100%-ed them. Not close). As I've said before, there is so much game in this game. In a good way. For my part, I've broken my streak of playing through each location in strict sequence. Amur is *sufficiently* tough that I needed a palate cleanser, so have been swanning around Tennessee.

Ah okay, if there are no immediate/easily gotten stuff from buying SP2 that'll help or enhance the main game, then i'll hold off on it. Cheers.

Ended up doing the oil-rig-drill mission within Smithville and Black River. Holy gently caress that Construction Rig Semi. I was both relaxed and yet gritting my teeth constantly.

They're not easy to deliver, but I prefer them over going back and forth for stuff like concrete slabs or logs or whatever. I wish we could reset jobs to re-do them specifically for those special trailer deliveries.

Thinking I might use the twinsteer and use my winch to tow a trailer the whole way Easiest way is towing a 2nd truck, winch its front and turn it on and it'll drive itself behind you surprisingly well. The other options of dragging a trailer or using the 8 slot semi-flatbed are exercises in pain

Almost got Y2 but knowing I still have so many territories to go through I just opted for the a la carte Truck DLCs, including the Tatra. Being able to use them now will mean enough that if I ever even decide to get the Y2 phases proper, i'll have already gotten their worth.

Just started playing this and I've got what is probably a dumb question: is it possible for a cargo on a trailer to get knocked out of place such that you can't unload it? I was trying to deliver two containers for a contract, one in the back of my truck and one on a sideboard trailer. When I arrived at the destination, I was able to unload the one in the back of my truck, but the cargo unloading interface doesn't seem to recognize that the sideboard trailer is holding a container. Looking at the container, it's sitting a little off-center on the trailer - the drive was a little rough and the trailer almost tipped over a few times. On the map, the little pips for the container is kind of on top of the one for the trailer; the trailer is not shown as actually holding the container. I can totally just drive a new container over but I'm curious what's going on here.

have you tried Pack Cargo from the context menu thingy in the truck? any cargo that goes sideways gets unpacked so it can fall out and has to be repacked once you un-tip and get the cargo back in the bed you'll come to recognize that cargo unpacking sound effect as an "oh, no" before long

Yeah in any case where it's not counted as soon as it crosses the line, which isn't that common, it's gotta be packed to be recognized. If the cargo isn't strapped down visually just pack it and try again

Been playing this a lot on switch. Up to 120 hours since release now alongside the 40 or so I had on pc before the switch release. I’ve been doing each map linearly until satisfied but now I’m going back to try and 100% each zone. Playing on normal mode because I’m scared of soft locking myself. It’s fun going back to black river and just bombing over the mud patches that used to make me stick horribly. I still have mishaps though https://twitter.com/lefishy/status/1564987521896812545?s=46&t=oobotSL1wFQaQZxKPGqUKA Game owns so hard even with the magical rocks bug that appears to plague all console versions.

It loving owns, surprised the Switch can run it somewhat okay to be honest but glad to hear it and it's probably a fun one on on the go. Going back to savor the early zones with trucks that gently caress is a great time but I still strongly advise you avoid the logging missions still unless you're doing co-op or have a taste for tedium. Nothing quite like a Twinsteer to do things, even bad things, in a hurry and with a sense of spectacle. If you're a fan of it and have the first DLC Imandra, I recommend it - fun map and has that truck's mega-upgrade, AWD

Honestly it’s one of the strongest switch ports out there imo. Not quite up to Mudrunner levels but genuinely a really good experience except for the ghost rocks. Yeah my twinsteer has AWD. Makes it so much more useful. I actually ended up and doing the last big shopping container with the azov pulling a trailer and with the big crane so I could self recover whenever it tipped. Like this: https://twitter.com/lefishy/status/1565446827042013184 I’ve done bits and bobs up to the Canada map. Poked around a few others too. I think I got the regional star only on the first two regions though. Logging missions are tedious for sure but they go well with a couple of hours of bad tv in the evening.
