Newbie stupid questions

[Dan L]

I just got SnowRunner yesterday so I am still trying to learn it. First is there a SnowRunner related Discord channel that would be good for newbie help & discussions?
Second, I found a trailer that had 2 concrete blocks on it. I used 1 of the blocks for the downed powerline but still have 1 concrete block on the trailer. Can I unload the trailer without loosing the cargo so i can use the trailer, but still be able to reload and use the blocks for a later task? Thanks

If you have a truck with a crane you can unload the blocks. Or simply remove/delete them.
Best find the Garage on the first map which should also have a trailer shop nearby.

Thanks for the reply. I just got a crane for my truck so I will try that. At the garage trailer shop I didn't see an option to unload but will look again. In fact, all I saw in the trailer shop was to be able to buy new trailers. I have a couple trailers I don't think I need and was going to sell them but I didn't see that option.

in normal game mode you can sell all trailers that are not part of a task or contract.
Those you buy can also be sold for the same price.
To manually unload freight you need to unpack it from the trailer first. To pack/unpack you need to have that trailer attached

Thanks Denniss

To sell the trailer it must be attached to the truck and empty, then you just go like you wanted to buy the trailer and it will say sell instead of buy.

Unless you are playing Hard Mode or New Game + you can just leave the trailer (with the blocks on it) somewhere convenient and use it later when you need it. When you find the garage the trailer store is also there, and you can buy and sell trailers there. They sell for the same price as you buy them.

There are factories and warehouses on the that you get concrete blocks, steel beams etc at no cost ( Unless you are playing Hard Mode or New Game + ).

I figured it out, thanks for the tips guys

Since you are new I can also share some not typical ways :-)
You can just bump the trailer on side and let it fall on the side. The cargo will unpack itself and fall off the trailer. The funny part is that cargo is indestructible. You can do whatever you like with it. You will always be able to get it back and use it.
The same applies to the trailer. You can't damage the trailer. No matter how it falls and where it falls.

the only stupid question is the question that does not get asked.We should never be afraid to ask a question.

I just replayed in hard mode and i noticed it was not the easiest ( heavy, much rolling resistance by 8 wheels ) trailer to drag around on slick tires :-))

You can use any trailer for other loads by unpacking the load and either throwing the load off by overturning it ( and winch it back upright ) or hoisting it off with a crane.

Do not however delete cargo. You can get in trouble in some maps doing that as some cargo is not unlimited.

I generally throw off or unload cargo that is not directly needed at the garage so if a mission wants a certain load i threw off there i don't need to get at somewhere else and can just crane it onto my truck.

Do mind though that to turn loads in at mission destinations it needs to be packed ( fastened ) on truck or trailer. Else it does not register. Sometimes the mission does not require an unload ( certain trailer missions but just towing the trailer over the designated square.

Thanks guys. I realize now that the trailers that are scattered around the map really aren't worth that much if I sell them. My thought for wanting to keep the unused cargo was that I was going to stockpile them at the garage for times that needed a little to finish a mission without having to go to a factory somewhere.

There is a trailer that has 4 blocks on it. You need 2 of them to repair the power line. You will need to other 2 down the road for the bridge.

There is an official discord, but I would steer clear of it. It is full of trolls and a few arrogant moderators which ruin the experience there. It only serves to ruin your experience and make you hate the game. Saber has been MIA from there for a long time except for esorokin, and it's went to hell. It's sad they allow some of those moderators represent their company and brand name.

If you need help with questions, I'd recommend you stick with Steam discussions. The discord is completely toxic.

You can do what ever you want with the extra cargo, if you want to leave it at your garage, it will stay where ever you put it.
