that frozen lake soft mud thing is funny i havent played much of mudrunner i came to the series with snowrunner and played mudrunner a few times here and there. but yes during the day it migth soften up a bit but for sure at night it would be rock hard. thats a very cool idea and i literally just thought it form your day night thing lol and it may mean some areas are not possible to get to such as tides in the ocean some ears might be muddy and then just totally under water at other times. the seasonal thing would be cool but i think thats pretty hard to add unless they make it into some sort months where they have a set time that changes colors or something maybe the hardness of soil would fall into that same thing have set times where it becomes hard or soft.i really like the sandbox approach you mentioned in the last part and that would be ideal i mentioned something similar today. where you might have a rockslide but there is no task to clear it you can go around it if you want maybe even tar a new road or you can clear it but there is no task that you can or have to do to get it out of the way its just if you want it gone or not or if you ant to go around it or not. i think it will be a good game focused on heavy machinery so i dont think we gt to many transport missions but i think they will learn a lot about the players and will make for an ever better snowrunner 2 which i think we will get at some point in a few year time.

yeah many people would like to be able to fix the roads and build bridges in some maps. that will probably be a thing in the next snowrunner main game in the series. they have said this is supposed to be a spin off.

I have mine turned higher because it is a new save so that I can get money to buy trucks lol. I think it’s set to 4x but honestly I’m not sure. Yeah when I started my hard mode I was like omg all that work for 2500? And stuff but it was a fun grind.

Right! I’m sure someone will attempt to fill a map with sand and stuff and specially if they have some crazy mods

Thank you! I appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoy it. I try my best to interact with and reply to everyone I can. Thanks for the support!

Yes it’s on discord some of this was from a snowrunner chat because they didn’t have a roadcraft chat set up yet but they do now so it’s moved on there. And yes they have more questions and answers then I can cover because by the time I make a video there is probably more questions wandered at this point lol

They said they are not done with licensing but it was in reference to all 3 games snow runner expeditions and roadcraft but they also mentioned it’s a complicated and long process and takes about 2 years. I think we will get some licenses but I guess I’m not sure I’ll try to look and get more info over the weekend as I have been pretty busy lol

Is Alan Dillard 02 Outlook

Yeah I think that’s pretty accurate I think we get year 5 and then snowrunner 2 but I expeditions and RC being updated along side snowrunner in that time. I’ll be getting it too I like the way it sounds just wish it had more cargo deliveries but I think it’s a spinoff it’s not meant to have to many and so I’ll deal with it until the next game comes out lol

Not sure if I specified which direction but it’s the other way lol it’s moving further away from the cab more towards the back.

@@G4mingWithJJ The description was ambiguous, but I assumed that they couldn't possibly be moving the saddle further back, because it's already like right above or behind the rear axle. This change is going to make the low saddle even more useless because it'll make semi trailers lever up the front end even easier now! 😡

Before the back stuck out so far it would collide with the trailer not allowing you to turn but also the front would pick up from the weight so it does as you explained make the front come up easier but the turning should be better lol.

They look really good I wasn’t to impressed with 11 and 12 but I thought 13 and now 14 have been very good.

Right someone pointed that out and I was like oh wow. I wonder if they didn’t have the name taken by someone else already and they wanted a bunch of money for it or they just didn’t think of that one.

you are welcome! i am always super happy when i hear comments like this. this is exactly why i make these videos to know i am able to help some people

Yes I think so I couldn’t see them going back to only non tracked vehicles for snowrunner 2.

yeah im a bit weary with them saying we can drive on the roads to do some deliveries afterwards cuz why else make them but its focused on the construction part. i feel like it will be a delivery or 2 and not enough to satisfy my itch to deliver stuff. i know i will enjoy alot of parts of the game but it wont replace snowrunner so looking forward to year 5 and then probably the next game in the series

I did buy it but this looks wayyyy better and way more into my interested then scouting.

Yeah I think they confirmed now that walking around won’t be a thing I heard from a viewer in my discord. I haven’t went to see the comment myself. So I cannot confirm but pretty sure

Yes so previously they said I’m sure there is a limit at some point and then they said that not in the numbers and pretty free. So that sounds promising and makes sense im sure there is areas where you can’t place it but it sounds like most of the map you would be able to if you wanted to. They also said they didn’t want to spoil anything and so they wouldn’t really answer any questions that haven’t been shown as they have other people working hard to make more trailers and gameplay videos and such that will be shown off in time so for me that answer makes sense they only want to talk about what’s been shown and clarify that stuff without leaking anything new. So I guess take it how you will and I guess time will tell but your right it sorta leaves it open for a big range of where you can and can’t place it.

Haha. Well maybe people over there wanted it here were like what? But if they see it around farms and stuff there I’m sure it’s pretty cool to have in game. I remember when my car was added to a game years ago I thought it was super cool even though it’s not a car most people would want i thought it was so cool.

@@G4mingWithJJ yeah I'm not easily impressed.

Yeah they mentioned we would be able to use the roads after the built to deliver cargo. But I do agree with you it will not be much deliveries. As they also said it will be mainly focused on the construction not as much of a driving sim game. But yes you can use ai it sounds like idk if they have a use or if it’s better to do it yourself/ more fun maybe you gotta set up supply routes or something so that’s Grindy so they added ai to make it better im not really sure I think that goes to the part if they want it to be construction focused. So they wanted to give people the ability to use ai. I could be wrong and probably am as so little info has come out so far. I will disagree they couldn’t have put all 3 games into 1 because this one uses a new engine they could have however I think put expeditions into snowrunner they said that’s the same engine with some improvements maybe that wouldn’t have been possible too. I will agree hat maybe they take both games down a notch both RC and Expeditions and they could have fit into snowrunner if that’s what you meant. I think they could have utilized the ports and train stations to offer missions like you say to bring supplies to certain lots for example if a spot has spare parts you could take some from a rail yard and bring them to the warehouse or something. I do agree it would have been nice to have the options to do way you describe like fix a road to use highway trucks or if you want to just go into the kid you have that option as well. These are good suggestions that I think would be great additions to this game or the future snowrunner game. I think it’s safe to say they will not continue snowrunner forever so taking notes for the next game is probably happening now if not development. Overall I think we both want what’s best for the game so these criticisms are because we want the game to be better than it is. It’s great but could be better. Thanks for the comment this is a long one and I love hearing from you guys in the community because you guys think of stuff that I wouldn’t. Like the overloading and having things break faster I like that idea and many others you pointed out.

@@G4mingWithJJ I meant that they don’t need to produce another two games. They should have used the new game engine and produced Snowrunner 2.0 that had the construction ability, among other things. We need game dynamics and physic improvements and not just more maps and tracks that up-one each other in a linear fashion so you have a reason to buy stuff. The way they made transmission work in SR is a joke. The highway tires or tracks are useless. There is never a second thought when buying a mud tire that makes you go: man, I’m loosing all this dry wether and pavement grip if I slap a huge highway tire on. Speaking of tires, they should wear out. Highway tires could last long time on highway but mud tires could get ruined way faster if driven on hard ground and at fast speeds. Your lifted track should not be able to carry as much weight when lifted and you should be much more tipi at higher speeds with them. Want suspension that are tall and can carry same load, they will cost you more and your truck will be more rigid therefore the off road grip and articulation will suffer. Want to drive a single axle track with heavy load? More damage to bearings, faster tire wear and slower speed over bumps needed before damage. More weight per axle in a trailer means more damage to the roads and you need to rebuild them more often or contract better more expensive roads, so use trailers and tracks with additional axels for heavy roads to guard against it. Gunning that low power engine at max RPM to goal too heavy of a load or while going through mud for long time means more oil changes and other maintenance cost. There should give you reason to pick one upgrade over the other and why you should have a big highway semi next to small lifter mud capable vehicles. One will do 50 tons down the highway while other might do max 10ton so it wouldn’t be economical to do long highway sorties with track set up for mud. Want to be able to transport 50tons in a mud? You need a huge track that will not be as maneuverable or be able to access small back roads. Make tracks more simulated so that we like one over the other for reason other then what we have now. Say, some highway tracks should be tough and require less maintenance or maintained on them could be less expensive, while others could be much stronger but more sensitive so you might use big highway tracks only for big and long missions and not wasting them for small loads. How many things I can think of that doesn’t even require new engine just some code, jet all we ever get each season is more maps and tracks.

Yeah I agree imagine if they just made a game similar people would be happy that it’s mostly the same mechanics but also bummed out cuz why spend the money if it’s mostly the same thing. I think this way they can see what the most players liked which spinoffs did better and which of those had better or worse DLCs so for example season 7 had some of the worst sales numbers and the scouting spinoff as far as I can tell didn’t do very good so maybe they will stick to more of the Main gameplay mechanics it depends how many spinoffs they do and what sells but I think they will help snowrunner 2 when they finally do that one.

Yeah I hear ya there I think it’s testing phase for snowrunner 2 at some point. I think it’s a cool idea but this one will be to focused on the construction part for most players but we’ll see.

I dont think that would happen. But maybe that’s just me.

Yeah I haven’t played without seasons yet. I see the upside of planting whatever you want whenever you want and that way you don’t have a few months of empty field every year. I think they will have an option to turn them off or at least turn the frequency at which they happen up or down. But I would say they probably have a on off button that says like random weather events like tornadoes and hail storms. But personally i like the season I like having to pick rocks and weed and all that I like the added work.

@G4mingWithJJ I like the added work too and do every process, just hate only being able to plant wheat, canola and grass. I like to do alot of Oats and Corn and seasons never works properly for those crops imo. And the precision farming is broken for consoles idc what anyone says. Let's just hope you can play without seasons or have a more realistic feeling to the seasons to make it more enjoyable for ppl that want to access the whole game and not just play 300 hours of Wheat, Canola and grass farming. 🤣🤣🤣

I also need to play in 1x time-lapse or whatever. Idk how ppl play on 10x I get seizures easily and don't feel like resting more than farming.

Seasons would be good for PC that's it. Too many mod conflicts with consoles to enjoy it imo

Yeah I agree we have only seen the first bit of gameplay and are a long ways away from a release at the earliest 3 months out and at the latest about 15 and it will probably be somewhere around 8-12 that’s my guess anyways.

I suspect that the AI vehicles will be in place of human players for co-op. For example in snowrunner if you attach a winch to another vehicle that's on, the AI controls the second vehicle

So drive them yourself? Nothing says you have to use the convoy system.

Hopefully, the AI will be used to make the world feel more alive. Let’s say building a factory in a secluded area is the mission. So you make the roads, clear the building area, and build the factory. Once complete, you set the AI path and they will more or less run the business. So you’ll see trucks coming/going to the factory in your gameplay. The more missions completed, the more trucks driving around. Plus the AI could create random instances of road damage that you need to fix to keep business/income rolling in. Based on the AI described in the Space Marines 2 Gamescom interview this seems very doable…or maybe I’m asking too much.

Yeah the way I understand it if you build roads and stuff and then you can use ai to deliver stuff but you could also drive them yourself if you wanted. That’s the way they made it sound maybe I am wrong on that but if that’s the not the case then yeah that would be kind of disappointing as then the ai does the delivering part for a good chunk.

Oh that’s an interesting take Herman. I didn’t think of that as being how it worked but maybe that’s an option I think you sorta put waypoint on the map and the truck follow it so if you don’t make good roads or a good route they will get stuck. But I also think you can drive them yourself as I haven’t seen anything that says you have to have ai do them.

Yeah I said since the begging of pts I think most trucks will get it by the time full release comes around and it looks like we are headed that way now I tested it on stream today and I think of the like 15 or so trucks I tried only 1 couldn’t attach it.

Don’t hold your breath. They’ve had many dollars and days to fix the servers for snowrunner and haven’t.

In-game chat, no kicking out someone when another player joins, no refueling bugs, no physics/logging bugs, etc.

Yeah that would be nice as far as I am aware they haven’t said anything on this front.

That’s very true and I also wouldn’t hold my breath lol. I think having better multiplayer will happen but how much better who knows.

All of those would be great and hopefully we do get something like that.

Thanks Bryan!

Yeah I think it’s just testing the waters and see what works and then make a snowrunner 2 but idk we’ll see I guess.

Mid September or early October. I’m guessing late September because Space Marines 2 is coming out Sept 9.

Yeah my absolute earliest guess would be mid September but I think end of September early October like last week or so.

I didn’t know about that release date but that helps the case for later I suppose lol

Yeah the hitch has been fixed. A few other things but most of the fixes are stuff no one really cares to hear about lol

I would think it’s been started or will be soon I think we get a snowrunner 2 like 2026 or 2027 but I’m not to sure I put up a poll on my channel to see what the viewers think for both snowrunner 2 and year 5 if your curious to see what many of the viewers think it has like almost 600 votes so far I think.

Yeah they kinda showed it in the gameplay trailer they were watching them drive from above I’m wondering if you can drive behind or informer and see how they do or if it’s only in that map sorta view.

Yes I agree they are different games. I also think most people won’t move on I think this game is more niche. I think we do get a snowrunner 2 at some point games don’t normally stay relevant for 7-8-9 years we would be going into year 5 after the next 3 seasons. Some people complained kola and Amur are to hard but people always will complain about something but I agree I’d like to see some of those harder regions I enjoy them more. I wouldn’t say it has better alternatives because I myself play consturction sim but sometimes it feels kinda boring because there is no difficulty factor. So this adds some of that difficulty factor trying to move the equipment around to these zones to do the work. Once you arrive maybe con sim does a better job with the actual laying of pipes or whatever. But I am looking forward to that aspect of this game. I think these are good for saber to learn what players do and don’t like for the next game in the series which I think will be a few years away like 2026 or 2027.

Yeah it said something about 8 maps around the world but where who knows maybe it’s 4 in 1 area and the 1 in another 1 in another and 2 in another. We don’t really know is it 8 different places? But yeah time will tell for sure it’s very early.

From what there saying they have made an entire new engine weather that’s game or physics engine remains unknown but that alone is pretty much worth releasing a new game for

This is on a new engine so I don’t think some of the things would work such as tracked vehicles and we haven’t seen much of it so they may have other feature and stuff that wouldn’t work on the old engines as well. I think these are learning experience for what to put into the next game in the snowrunner series. I think it would have been nice to have these features if possible in snowrunner but I think they really are just trying to make spinoffs and see what the players like to maybe have some ideas for the next game in the snowrunner series.

Yeah new engine they said that parts of snowrunner and expeditions were still using the engine from splinters so very old lol.

No set date but probably end of September or early October.

Yeah the new futon log trailers look to be added to many trucks and I think most will be able to by the full release.

@@G4mingWithJJ I mean like the new scout,the tuzz ect.
