I need help with "Restoring the Tracks" mission in Wisconsin.

[MarkJohnson]

I finally got the railroad track made to fix the train tracks. 6 in total.

So I get the first track, drive to the nearest section and drive on the yellow square. It won't take the track, but it tries to do it, but fails.

I then go back and get a truck with huge crane, then I change vehicles and try to unload cargo, but the option changes, it said "Remove cargo" instead, so I clicked on it, and it destroyed my track piece.

Is there an easy way to get it back? I can't believe it didn't ask me if I wanted to destroy it. I never had this option before. It was always load/unload.

Or am I just S.O,L. and have to go craft more track pieces?

Ouch, that sucks...

Yeah, it took me some experimenting to figure out how to place the track pieces. From what I remember, you do have to unpack the trailer, use a separate crane to unload the track from the trailer and place it onto the ground, then you have to have a truck close enough to trigger the "C" hotkey for interacting with the cargo. Once you do that, it'll bring up the typical menu for delivering the cargo and completing the contract / mission step.

I'm afraid, in your case, that you'll have to make another track. This is annoying, because I think that mission requires delivering logs and other stuff just to manufacture new track sections.

In the future when you realize you did something wrong (this is my solution in case I really messed something up), just quickly Alt-F4 out of the game. If you force-quit, the game doesn't have time to save your state, and will restart back at your last auto-save. Yeah, it's cheating, but in some cases it's better than forcing yourself to go through a torturous recovery of some kind by playing fair.

Indeed you have to unpack the cargo before you'll be able to pick it up with a crane. With that cargo destroyed you have to build just another track. I believe there's sufficient source material in Wisconsin for some extras

[Denniss]

it depends, on some maps you have to place the track on the ground before you are able to "deliver" it.

Was experimenting with track pieces in Don ; you can just unload the track piece while staying on the cargo delivery place with your truck and Press C to place it. No need for crane.

That's pretty sucks that you deleted this piece as it requires a good amount of ressources if I remember right. Good luck !

Yeah, I already tried C to place it with the track unloaded on truck bed. I then went to remove cargo from inside the truck, and I was expecting the cargo to have an "X" on the cargo for me to manually delete it, like all other cargo. But sadly, it just deleted the track piece. I wasn't expecting the track to be deleted from inside the truck.

And yes, there are plenty of resources to craft the track. Worst case is I need to go back to the previous map and make more metal beams or get more wooden planks.

In the future, if some similar cases happen, you may try to immediately Ctrl + Alt + Suppr and end Snowrunner. That way it will not have the time to save, but your progresses will be back to approximately 5-10 minutes before.

Some may call it save scumming but in those rare cases it could save precious minutes or even hours of work.

What is Suppr?

It's what you don't call me late for.

But seriously, maybe it's a Mac operating system thing?

[MarkJohnson]

Ah, that makes more sense. LOL

Personally, I just use ALT+F4 to close apps. It will even bring up to shut down windows, as the last close function.

Thanks.
