Snowrunner 30 Tips For Beginners

[@philipsmith802]

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this in the comments, but on PS4, you can magnify your screen by pressing the PS logo button + square. Press that again to zoom out. You can do this at any time for any game on PS4.

[@explorationofgames]

Thank you for that info. Your comments gets pinned :)

[@Jiozak]

Additionally, if you're on Switch, you can go to System Settings > System > and enable the Zoom feature. With this, quickly double pressing the Home button will activate/deactivate said zoom (If you're playing undocked, double tapping the screen in Snowrunner specifically brings up a magnify glass, tho this is specifically a feature of Snowrunner, not the system as a whole)

[@NathanChisholm041]

On PC its the mouse scroll wheel!

[@rafik-blaze]

​@@NathanChisholm041no he's talking about zooming on the screen not about the in-game zoom, to use that on console you just have to push your left stick either forward or backward

[@deenanthekemoni5567]

Ok so I've invested ALot of time into this amazing game. And one thing I haven't seen anyone mention is that the GAS PEDAL works like a REAL Gas Pedal. DON'T just full throttle it when u get stuck, in fact avoid full throttling altogether. Use the gas pedal realistically, and you will notice a major difference.

[@explorationofgames]

Very true I should have mentioned it in the video. Thank you

[@bookle5829]

No! I don't care if my car drinks too much fuel. lol Maybe on hard mode I'll be more conservative.

[@peterandreash2841]

@@bookle5829 It's not about fuel. If the wheels go too fast they slip, so it's better to go slow sometimes

Another helpful tip is to always makes sure the cargo you are hauling is packed/loaded into your truck or trailer. This is definitely an issue for players who like to manually load the cargo onto their trucks themselves. Once you have your cargo on the truck or trailer, make sure you go to the cargo settings and make sure it is packed/loaded. This will lock the cargo down into the truck or trailer and prevent it from shifting all over the place during travel. Also, if your cargo isn't packed into the trailer, then when you get to the delivery location, the game will act like you don't have the cargo with you. In that moment, back up out of the delivery point, make sure the cargo is actually loaded in the truck or trailer, then re-enter the delivery spot. Note that if you have a lot of close calls when traveling that make your truck or trailer almost tip over, there is a chance it will make your cargo become unpacked/unloaded...even if it doesn't spill out. If that happens, just go back into the cargo settings and reload it back into the truck or trailer you are using. I have seen some reviewers actually give the game bad reviews and go as far as say the game is bugged or broken because they didn't make sure their cargo was properly loaded in their truck/trailer. This meant when they got to their destination, the game didn't act like they had the cargo at all. So, they assumed the game was bugged and tried it again only for their cargo to become unloaded with their careless and sloppy driving. This again made it so when they got to the destination, they couldn't deliver the cargo because to the game, it wasn't "in the trailer". They also broke one of their trailers because they didn't make sure their cargo was loaded properly, then recalled their truck to refuel. When they went back to the trailer, they found that the cargo had clipped through the trailer during the map refresh and fused the cargo half way through the trailer making it unable to be moved. In the end, they said that the game was riddled with bugs because they simply didn't make sure their cargo was properly loaded in their trailers.

[@tylermorris9196]

THANK UOU. I had to quit playing because I could not for the life of me finish a mission because of the cargo not being recognized. I didn’t hate on the game, as I knew there was SLEMTHING I was doing wrong. I haven’t played in a year. Playing it tonight and gonna enjoy it now! Blame is on me not the game

[@TechtodaProductions]

Ver packing your cargo makes it weigh a lot more and puts your center of gravity higher. You can get through mud quicker with unpacked cargo

Heres another attention to detail, the speedometer actually works in the cab in first person mode. Along with the other gauges like fuel!

[@georgeayres2310]

I’ve had the game for about 2 weeks and just found your video. Thank you so much for taking the time to help people like me who are just getting started and am a little confused sometimes. This is a great help.😊😊😊

[@Paladwyn]

Not sure if it was mentioned, but for selling vehicles you mentioned buying the truck for 30,000 then buying the gearbox for 3800. Then selling the truck for only 31900. This is missing the original gearbox that can be sold for 1900, making up that price difference. So you don't need to sell all the equipment first if you sell the equipment later. Running through the comments, I see it has been mentioned :)

[@mariogrgic74]

One tip, I use wery often, when I need a lot of slots to cary. I use flatbed semi trailer (5 slots) on truck and attach with winch ramped flatbed trailer (4 slots). Then in one run I can carry 9 slots

[@TheAwast2]

It is possible to carry 14 Slots if you have the Paystar 5600 TS with crane you can have 3 Slots on the sideboard bed and another 3 on top of it, a ramped flatbed Trailer attached with 4 Slots and another ramped flatbed Trailer winched to the first one

[@ThompsonFlash9999]

@@TheAwast2 have the winched trailer instead be hooked to another truck, and winch that truck

[@TheAwast2]

@@ThompsonFlash9999 yes you can drive with two trucks at once i have done this excessiv, but it's only really effective on asphalt roads, cornering is really difficult especially with hard corners, you have also only one winch, so if you have a truck winched you can not use the winch on the main truck, and you have to Look always back what the second truck is doing, it happend so often too me that both trucks flipped to the side that i don't do it anymore, in my opinion it is more effective to take just one truck and try carry as many Slots as possible with it because with just one truck you have more control

[@ThompsonFlash9999]

@@TheAwast2 shorten your winch cable so it stays right behind your first trailer, I've never had a problem

[@AsiAzzy]

Also crazy crane counterbalancing for tricky banked areas (looking at amur especially) even balancing with heavy cargo like oversized container. Also if you expect a flip attach the winch to the trailer and not the truck and the winch will stay on and work even if the truck has stalled and flipped. You can't attach the winch anymore but the one deployed before the flip works (and no, i'm not talking about scouts auto winch). Also on tricky banked areas very broned to flip, use a semi-trailer and keep it at an angle to the truck. It will act like a three legged stool. It just sits and not flip on crazy spots where any normal truck will flip. Also on flip mechanics, give the twinsteer a go as a training vehicle. It will go anywhere, very fast, with 4loads of cargo trailerless AND it will very fast teach you the flip mechanics and teach you to read the terrain and what angle of approach to take to not flip. Once mastered the twinsteer is a monstermachine. And it will help a lot with gameplay in any other truck. I did lots of missions with the twinsteer due to trailerless and just recover whenever needed. But being craneless and trailerless is a big downside in hardmode. For harmode the paystarTS is the monster hauler (crane+3bed+4trailer plus a lot of additional cargo by manually oveloading both the truck and the ramped trailer on the space near the ramp. I did 16metal rolls in one go with this setup and in amur on the very difficult terrain) Winching is more efective if the rope is longer. So if the short frint winch is struglling, attach on the back to make it longer. Give the 8slot trailer a go whenever possible. With the kolob works good and it teaches you to read terrain longitudinally dipped or crested to avoid highcentering and pulling the trailer with the winch. The full winch mechanics will be speedly learnt on the first tricky turn with long 8slot trailer. (I use less and less since the azov7 many times can safely haul 8slots of cargo with the ramped flatbed trailer. Now paystar can easlily go 10slot hauling or even more. And lastly the easy recovery of a huge mess (a flip with an oveloaded truck with scketcky shortcuts) is Alt+F4 before automatic save kicks in. This very good to time the save icon. You wait for the icon before doing the crazy stunt you have a few minutes to do the schetchy move and hope for the best and if not: quickly alt-f4.

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

Nice video, am experienced so I know alot, also when unlocking the map, try getting upgrades first too. Sell the gmc, Kodiak you get, keep the fleetstar for first few contracts then go to Russia map buy the Azov 64131 from store, sell fleetstar if you want, and on the first map of Russia get the Tayga. And you good to go. And get the Tartarin too while in Russia. Good luck. I would sell all scouts I have If I get tartarin, and buy the International loadstar too.

The info around 3:56 is not correct, the reason the fleetstar + high range gearbox sells for less is because you got the stock gearbox still in your inventory :) if you would first sell that stock gearbox, then the fleetstar with high gearbox, in the end you get the same money back as what the fleetstar and the high range gearbox costs. But great video nonetheless! 👍

Thanks for an absolutely brilliant video - this is BY FAR the best tips video for SR I've seen. I ended writing loads of it down so I can refer to it as I'm still new to the game. Can I ask you (or anyone else) a few Q's to help me proceed? 1. When a task has two parts but no cargo involved can I do part one, recover the vehicle to the garage then do part two and recover again or else just use two vehicles to complete it then recover them both? Specifically I'm talking about King of the Hill in Michigan - can I do North Peak then recover the vehicle then do South Peak or does that wipe the task progress out? Or can I use a different vehicle for each peak and then recover both from the top of each peak when the task is complete? I just keep rolling and stalling my vehicles (with no winch points available) coming down South Peak - I've had so many goes it it's driving me crazy! 2. For getting the drilling parts for the Missing Machinery task what truck, crane and bed do I need? i have the Paystar 5070 with the 46' ATHS1 tyres, LC 3.8 Loading Crane & Sideboard bed but I can't get near the drilling parts - I don't know what vehicle or specs i need and how to recover the drilling parts. 3. For the Paystar 5070 I still get stuck in the mud a lot - what tyres do you need for that to be as good as everyone says it is? I'm up to rank 4 but I still can't upgrade the tyres from the 46' ATHS1 and it's making for a very frustrating experience so far as I just can't get any of the difficult tasks or contracts done. For example all the deep water and mud on the road going right from the garage in Michigan - I just get stuck there even in low gear and there do not seem to be any winch points so I keep having to recover. 4. I have the Scout 800 with the big roofrack containing loads of extra petrol but I can use this to refuel an empty vehicle or can I only do that by towing a fuel trailer? In other words are the repair kits and extra petrol only for the vehicle you fir them to? I hope you don't mind advising if you can - it's stuff I've googled but just not found answers to so looking for expert help! And please keep up the great work on the vids - you deserve way more subs!

[@explorationofgames]

Thank you for your kind words and about your questions: 1. Any task thats not repeatable you can swap trucks and recover trucks unless (like in the case of all repeatable task and contests) the mission description specifically says that you cant do that 2. I honestly dont rember that mission but judging by your question im guessing you gonna need one of them big cranes which is not available on all the trucks (not sure if its available on Paystar 5070 dont remember) and by big i mean like the one in the thumbnail of this video 3. yes Paystar is a good truck but with upgrades, for your level i would definitely suggest to use something like a Tayga which you can get for free i made a video about it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/envEh6aso9N3qLc 4. Absolutely yes, you can refuel any truck using any source of fuel that includes the roofrack, random fuel trailers on the map and your own fuel tank Good luck and enjoy the game :)
