as for expeditions you can see community players on it right now live, watch a bit of it and see, i guess preorder players get to play it early, it doesn't officially release until march 5th
Post again after you've done a hundred hours in the game.
Expeditions is the equivalent of what a hypothetical Hard Mode Plus might be. Throw in every hard mode feature of Snowrunner, make fuel and repair parts into more critical resources, and remove every road and trail to make the map 100% wilderness.
On the bright side, you don't have to pull a trailer/semi-trailer or a heavy crane up a mountain trail, the whole cargo hauling bit has been left for Snowrunner.
To deal with this, you have to pick a suitable route then get to know the vehicle you're using and pick a suitable gearbox and engine combination in order to minimize excessive fuel consumption.
Trucks with always-on AWD also burn a lot of fuel because of that feature.
With proper planning and a suitable choice of vehicle for the task, you can manage the fuel. Which particular vehicle is troubling you right now?
This way of operating will make maps without a garage much more bearable.
Ye im still at the beginning, maybe i don't have enough patience also. Also stuck in the mud because i didnt upgrade scout yet. Maybe i don't have the patience for this game and playing in hard mode was a mistake. I like getting xp and money for upgrades but everything is so damn slow.
Actually thinking about giving Death Stranding another try. xD Totally different game ofcourse. I like how there is no other game like Snowrunners but i wish progression was a little bit faster.
Y maybe but then i have to do exploring all over again xD
Just wait until you're trying to get a mission-critical trailer across a river and it floats away...
if that is happening you are using the wrong vehicle/bad configuration for that task
At least you know where some stuff is now.
I don't at all disagree, but it's not easy to tell exactly what the right combination actually IS until you're stalled in the middle of a river. It's very easy to get into a scenario you can't easily get out of.
thats what scout vehicles are for, explore around first to get a layout of the map before you jump into any mission, this will give ya better idea of what kinda truck to have for the task since at that point you will know a hard path will be in that same area, many mistakes that players make is they want to start right in with the heavy trucks blindly in an unexplored map and end up wasting time and fuel
Heavies and Offroad class trucks usually provide the most convenient features for rivers; both offer specialized tires that will be a boon here.
- Off-road trucks will give you the highest clearance and the best power-to-weight ratio and extra winch length, but you should be mindful of strong water currents that could push the truck, and you'll usually want to put the cargo on trailers instead of the truck frame for these.
- Heavies will have less power in proportion to their mass (so it's possible they can get bogged down), but will usually withstand strong currents and usually are tall enough that water ingestion by the engine will rarely be a problem, although they may have lower clearance and/or sink deeper into the mud (so they could get stuck on underwater rocks, especially if the rocks are resting on squishy mud). Heavies also provide extra winch power by default (and a stronger winch line).
For general reference:
If it's an oversized load (like 4 or 5 slots) or you're carrying multiple units of heavy materials (like medium logs on a truck frame plus a trailer, or 4 units of concrete blocks/2 units of slabs or 2 units of beams) then pick a heavy. Heavies can also do offroad well except when you need to negotiate steep climbs or very limited clearance, or deep swamps/deep snow (you should be avoiding these two regardless of the truck).
If you're using vehicles to carry light vehicles or to carry lighter weight loads than those described above, or if you're pulling a single medium size trailer (2 units) with nothing on the truck frame, and if you're going to drive mostly on solid dirt or roads, pick a heavy-duty and you'll get the job done faster and for less fuel, as long as you don't take them into tougher offroad. They're good enough for mild to intermediate mud/snow, though not great.
If you're getting into the most horrid of places and need better offroad performance than you get from a heavy, then pick an offroad class truck and preferably put your cargo in a trailer instead of loading it onto the truck (because this will raise its center of gravity and potentially add excessive weight).
Use scouts for recon, assistance of bigger trucks (you can carry repair parts and pull small fuel trailers), and for when a really small truck allows for easier handling of medium or small loads (1 or 2 units). There's some very narrow trails where doing more cargo runs with scouts than fewer with bigger trucks, can save you headaches. Light scouts are usually easy to handle and can get over obstacles that bigger trucks might be unable to negotiate. Heavy scouts can pull trailers as well as an offroad truck could, and the offroad scout trailer is the most stable and flip-resistant 2-slot trailer in the game.
EXTRA NOTE ON SCOUTS: Scouts with always-on Differential Locks are not usually great picks for trails, especially when outfitted with mud tires instead of offroad tires. For trails, don't pick wide mud tires, and preferably choose something that can unlock its differentials for increased turning radius and so you can avoid severe understeering while climbing twisting slopes. I've seen the Jeep-like Khan (the one with the big mud tires) being unable to turn at relatively low difficulty uphill twists.
