SnowRunner Phase 8 FARMING explained

[@ATribeCalledCars]

So PTS was updated just after I made this video, bringing Diff Lock to both tractors. I'll do something on this soon! Sayonara.

[@chriswin95]

Nice, will it be permanent or switchabel?

[@DreadEnder]

Took them long enough!

[@ps5_c0de]

I could see them putting construction themed items in the game soon. Like backhoes, bulldozers, dump trucks, road making machines, etc, etc. Imagine building actual houses and buildings? Making a custom town?

[@DreadEnder]

@@ps5_c0de once I figure out how to make a map I’m going to try and make a huge mission where you turn either a swamp or grassland into a town or city

[@ps5_c0de]

@@DreadEnder hopefully ps5 version could use it, I'm still not sure how to use the mod option for console

[@cmbaileytstc]

I’m wondering if this will eventually pivot to earth-moving machines actually moving the deformable earth of Snowrunner.

[@BRAVOACTUAL]

That is one of my LONG standing wishes. To get something to restore roads to stock condition

[@cmbaileytstc]

@@BRAVOACTUAL Would be cool, although TBH just want their manpower to take an hour of their time to add flippin’ TrackIR support. Would pay $50 for a DLC mod that adds TrackIR support.

[@Torqu3d]

Id love to have something with actual groundwork physics for earth moving equipment.

[@Bowiiihowdy]

Gold mining would be a nice spin off

[@ridiculogan2962]

Unlikely

[@BRAVOACTUAL]

I am excited for this. I see it as baby steps towards being able to put in one of my longstanding wishes of a grader or something similar that can restore or repair terrain to smooth condition.

[@rorixdragonblade8480]

yeah it still gets me why someone would be doing so much work in an area and not do quality of life stuff on certain roads. if it was me thered be a grader and such going through clearing a path. better to take the time to do it better than deal with problems

[@phoenix0166]

Zimnegorsk bridge needs it. Yellowstone highways need it. A few bridges in The Lowland need it. A few sections of road in the Lowland need it. The highway needs to be unflooded in the lowland. (Lowland needs a lot). Aegis needs a garage of some sort. Urska’s roads need it, etc

[@RainmakerLTU]

Yeah... that would be very good machine. After it we should get a road maker phase, where you can gather and process stones, rocks and sand and fill the holes in roads. Also an asphalt laying machine. What? I can dream, can't I? :D

[@marvinrivera3946]

Dam bro I hope you are excited for road builder!

[@stumpusMaximus]

I’ve always wanted Snowrunner to move onto proper construction. Dozer’s, excavators, dump trucks, cranes. It seemed so obvious. Since Construction Simulation just came out, even more so. A missed opportunity. Had an absolute enough of grinding log deliveries over umpteen maps. That’s when I put my head in my hands and gave up. ‘6 medium logs to joe’s house’ over an hour per delivery and that’s not coming back either to pickup again and no garage right nearby. Man, pure pain

[@asleepcloud]

Lmao ikr ? Those log deliveries are crazy painful

[@jimmydouglas5283]

I wish you could do more construction related work. Gives more meaning to hauling heavy equipment if you get to use it

[@jesseduba7338]

Would be nice if FS22 combined with snow runner

[@tipips]

But only if we kept farming sim performance or got a better one bc snow runner is horrid for how the graphics look if they need inspiration for fps in car game with good graphics forza horizon 4

[@GamerDad-uc7xx]

Saber really dropped the ball on the farming aspect for me. If I had farming simulator level of detail for farming and snowrunners physics id be in heaven. But the way saber implemented "farming" is nothing short of an embarrassment

[@KastaRules]

I suspect that they will develop a better farming game if they see a very positive reaction to their Season 8. They are just experimenting now.

[@nfsfanAndrew]

I mean... its more just a task. Game isnt really developed around it. However maybe they should. Farm sim with snowrunners terrain physics and detail would be very interesting. Especially with how the physics or lack of physics are in farm sim

[@tosijjaan]

Yes

[@pauldone5203]

Cattle & Crops was promising for a while, until development ceased!

[@tipips]

I mainly would enjoy getting a better performance farming game, not one with badly optimized graphics and low fps, well in farmin sim you can at least unlock the fps if you want to snowrunner just has bad performance

[@LantingFarming]

Definitly how Farming Simulator should look like. This is so well made, including damage and that kind of stuff. Love it.

[@starman4346]

bruh the only cultivator is "cultivator" its got a long way to go :)

[@darkphoenix2004]

Tools that bumps arround all the time? No Thanks.....

[@nixielee]

Sadly, they have missed the point with the farming. The yellow box and the automatic "well, you are pretty much done so now everything will be fixed for you automatically" ruins the whole thing. This is not for people who loves farming sims apparently, so who is this for? This company hates everything that's hard or precise.

[@thunderstone6096]

Yeah I was wondering why so many youtubers were just driving around in zig zags instead of doing it properly but apparently that's all you need to bloody do. This really just tanked my excitement for the next phase

[@aqeelslamang8305]

[@Zoiyya]

"...or bring a friend" had to chuckle a bit with all the recent problems and bugs in coop. I really hope they fix at least some of them with phase 8 release.

[@frog9187]

If snowrunner adds earth moving machinery it would then be one of if not the best game out there for physics

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Absolutely and it would really add to the game if you could. Especially in Amur.

[@gamerdrive5565]

Imagine a road building dlc, they could revisit a heap of old maps and let us pave a functioning road network. But the game doesn’t really have earthmoving physics, deformation yes, but you can’t move dirt around.

[@honeybadger9425]

​​​@@gamerdrive5565 Yes that would be brilliant if you could make tricky deep mud and water places more passable with your own labour or even make new paths and bridges cut down trees etc.

[@sammythefox1057]

I hope that they add the ability of changing how sensitive the farms are. Like in ng+ settings

[@TheAdz82]

That's not ng+, they added a custom mode and just called it ng+

[@sammythefox1057]

@@TheAdz82 exactly, they called it ng+? No need to add confusion by calling it something else

[@GeekHazu]

this is outstanding. just missing a base / house to chill. Or being able to customize our garage. I think it's the only thing missing in this game.

[@steph-tu4io]

it was not agriculture that I personally wanted but earthmoving with excavators and bulldozers

[@stayplationgaming]

Get construction simulator then 😅

[@BushmanTRX250]

The diff lock was a great addition for the tractors and I can't wait to use my potatoes to make some walkers cheese and onion...mmm

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

Thx Ben.... Being a huge fan of farm sim 22 I'm liking this.

[@muneirovalibas6194]

I'm glad they are expanding the features of this game!

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Me too, variety being the spice of life and all that.

[@Madhuntr]

yeah. they should have stuck with trnasport missions. like big grain trailers to haul through difficult terrain. or hauling the tractors and equipment to their destination. this? meh. not so thrilled about

[@JubeProductions]

I don't know what I'm more excited about, the new Season 8 DL or new videos from Ben. I think it's the latter.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

You're too kind. Really glad you're enjoying new season. SnowRunner vjdeos on the way!

[@gamerairways]

Bro we were talking about how it'd be awesome to have Snowrunner driving in FS22 and now I just found out about Phase 8, I guess it's the next best thing!

[@raphaellauf7786]

wow, thats a suprise, hopefully snowrunner dives into other ground based physics thing aswel. it leaves somethings to be desired but for doing something completly new for them itll get better

[@ATribeCalledCars]

I definitely like the different gameplay types, even if other games do them better.

[@SNOWDUDE13]

[@las347]

@@ATribeCalledCars It looks terrible from a farming mechanics perspectives but oh boy if we could have this graphics in Farming Simulator I'd give my left kidney away. :) Thanks for the fun video the slight sarcasm made it ever more fun. Snowrunner is a fantastic game but maybe we should just stick to deliveries for now.

[@altuck4x4]

I really want to give this a go, it looks fun, and it's a fresh idea for the game too. You did well with the explanations Ben the scope for innuendo was huge! Very restrained 👍😄

[@CPTN_IRISH]

This DLC is immaculate in my opinion. Perfectly balanced and it makes using different trucks much easier than other DLC’s. The terrain is super fun and the contracts and tasks feel fresh and the farming is fun. This DLC kicks ass 🚜

[@RainmakerLTU]

Wow. While the Giants are sleeping on their farming sim genre monopoly, and really sitting on their hands, actually, someone tries to evolve farming sim genre. Even it is a small part in other game. There would be amazing farming sim based on snowrunner engine. This is the hint for new project after devs will run out of ideas for Snowrunner. One small thing though - while the this phase is not out yet. Please make stones and rocks on roads to remember their position, like once cleared from road, they stay there. Because every time i visit other map, all stones are back on the roads, no matter how good I cleaned them before leaving to other map.

[@uhitskyle]

Articulate tractors are somewhat uncommon tbh but boy does that red machine look splendid!!!

[@MrNikoGlitchy]

Snowrunner has a real identity crisis going on..

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Seems to be having a go at all related genres. Base building next?

[@MrNikoGlitchy]

@@ATribeCalledCars They kinda did that with Maine map, though it was a set build.

This would make a great MMORPG to be honest. Quests , economy, XP that unlocks new vehicles and parts, paying others for repairs and recovery.

[@fritzmuller8001]

I’m my professional farmer opinion the fields are a bit small I guess it would be kinda annoying if it took to long but still

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Yeah I get your point. It's hardly acres and acres of green pastures.

[@SacredEagle7115]

Strange being back on Snowrunner after so long. Been putting in hours on FS22 , and Construction Simulator 22 . Both great games , but both lack the realistic driving conditions. Hopefully someone at Snowrunner could show them at FS 22 how it's done . I only came back to try the farming lol 😆 . Great video as always Ben , much appreciated 👍 👏

[@osmoahma]

I spent a good amount of time draggin that newer, red tractor. It was an essy job to turn it on its wheels, then pull it to shore from the pond, but i wanted to haul it to my garage, before i even can unlock it and use it. So, i could not repair it at the bog pond, so the game gave me just 2 towing points in the tractor. I could not swap myself to drive it etc but i managed to sllooowly winch it to towing bed, by botw winching and pushing the tractor from behind with another car preventing tractor from rolling off the bed. As of now, the tractor still sleeps at garage yard and i cant drive it yet.

Farming games are my favorite and this one looks promising.

[@deanhollingsworth7938]

Dont care about farming as such but hopefully goes into the direction of being able to cut your own trees. Also being able to fix flooded roads and pave them so highway trucks have a use

oh, i kind of put off snowrunner because update 7 with the racing didnt appeal to me, and i also thought farming was just like haul this and haul that, i didnt realise it was actually "farming" .. damn now i have to download it again.

[@DiecastCarHunter]

great video love the content! keep it up!

[@ka_jakob]

If you unlock the K-7M from the swamp with "The Common Cause", maybe you could use it for field work or is that maybe "false" 😉? The K-700 is a bit more versatile, in my opinion the K-7M is better in the field - if there were much larger fields, gladly with twin tires. Have now 60% in the Glades, but the corresponding task has not yet appeared - is also only a test.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

I've not tested both since getting Diff Lock (testing Dakar Desert Rally), heard good things though. I was wondering where the task is, even after the latest PTS update.

[@ka_jakob]

OK - The contract in Heartlands: "Thirty Harvestless Years", unlocks the task: "The Commen Cause". ;)

[@ATribeCalledCars]

@@ka_jakob Great stuff, much appreciated. I've not had a chance to play SnowRunner much this week.

[@ka_jakob]

FYI the K-700 seems to be the better choice, the K-7M has the more modern technology ;) but it doesn't seem to be fully developed yet and takes the truck plus trailer into the air. Sometimes this lands on another field, so you have saved the trip there and can continue working directly - lol

[@ka_jakob]

On 13 Oct is the time - then the fields are rocked. lol

[@hawcowboy341]

Gave up on the farming because I couldn't hookup the tractor too any of the trailers. I even tried both tractors and nothing. Anyone else have this issue?

At least one addon can affect adding a trailer, try another addon. :)

[@leoryan3744]

If you haven't bought Season 8 yet ? Don't, w/o knowing that you'll have to put on your farmer dungarees first. A version of FARMING SIMULATOR is embedded in Season 8. And acts as a "playwall" preventing you from progressing through the Season. You can't bypass playing Farmer Brown on his " Green Acres".

[@buzz4175]
