Why Mudrunner is praised to this day | Snowrunner vs Mudrunner

[@bigden238]

Snowrunner and Modrunner are just like GTA 4 and GTA 5. GTA 4 has excellent physics and realism of car damage and a depressing atmosphere (just like in Modrunner), while GTA 5 has clumsy physics and realism of car damage and a good color atmosphere (just like in Snowrunner)

That's for sure. When I was a child, my grandfather worked in a tractor repair shop. I have seen many different tractors, including the K-700. Even though I've never been inside a K-700, I remember what it sounds like. That high whistle of the turbine, I heard almost every day. It's practically the sound of my childhood. When I went to school, I did not live in the countryside, and I never saw so many tractors again. And almost 20 years later, when I fired up MudRunner for the first time and found out that there was a K-700 there, I felt such a sense of nostalgia, when I heard this turbine whistle.

If that flame was flexing the same irl, half the trucks would broke right away.... Physics allways "finds where to relief its tension", so if you go on bumps like that, most of the time, you rather slide of rather than the chassis being flexed. Its nonsense, I believe Snowrunner is more realistic....

I thought it was just me thinking these things lol. I find on snowrunner that you either have traction or you don't. In mudrunner though on controller you could feel your traction in the mud. You could apply a small amount of acceleration to gain traction and go through the mud, too much and you lose grip, where as snowrunner it's just not there. It feels like any amount of gas will pull you out. Or you're stuck

[@SD1ONE]

yes I point I forgot that tires in MR have low pressure in them not only visually but they justify it with physics as well by providing adequate traction

Personally if I was stuck or making slow progress in my favorite truck (c260) I'd use +1 gear to get out of it. The tires and the engine would rip their way through any terrain.

[@Jirodyne]

The biggest issue, seems to be the Focus. Mud runner, there were no missions. No quests. No goals. The maps had a logging point. And a point to drop wood off at. But you didn't have to actually do them. It was much more of a 'Physics' playground, with high details physics of mud, and high detailed physics of trucks. The logging is just a reason to experience those physics. But it was mostly just driving and enjoying the realistic physics. Snowrunner, however, decided that was too hard. They gave up on physics. They gave up on Realism. They gave up on the core fandom and why people loved spintires and mudrunner. They decided to focus on Missions. And Only missions. They gave you more Objectives to do, but in focusing on that, they spent less time on actual physics for the game, and on crafting well made realistic trucks. Instead focusing on... Farming? Crafting? Special Trailers? wtf? Why can't we just get cool ass physics with cool ass realistic trucks, AND the cool ass missions. It couldn't have been THAT hard to port over the physics for the environments and the Trucks, right? Or did they become too lazy? It is such a shame. I never done any of the Snowrunner DLCs yet, even tho I own them all, up to this date, and from the other video about everything Snowrunner does wrong, I do not look forward to playing those DLCs. Cause they sound boring. Tedious. Unfun. And Fundamentally goes against the core concept of the "Mudrunner/Spintires" focus. Namely, the physics of the Trucks, and Mud/water. Which is such a Shame.

[@Manaemi_WT]

MR selling physics, sound, and feel of driving. while SR just selling licensed vehicle and graphics

[@SHAdow98V]

First point is hit or miss to be honest,yes irl there are chassis designs that allow a big amount of angle difference between halfs usually and in the K-700 case in particular that is the case but it always was dumb how in MR even trucks which are supposed to have a solid and sturdy chassis had a gummy one, SR solved that but at the same time i ado admit in SR some of the vehicles that ARE supposed to have the flexing chassis types like again the K-700 counterpart in SR or other such vehicles are indeed way way too rigid. So basically in MR all trucks were way too flexible to the point of being just unrealistic and stupid while in SR they're too rigid. This also goes for suspension,in MR they were unrealistically flexible while in SR sadly they're way way too rigid which is why i love mods because most mods do have the "crawler" suspension type which is soft and while there is no crawling to be had in this game imo the crawler suspension option usually should be imo in the game on all vehicles as the "Off-road" suspension because the one we have now is not an off-road suspension is just a rigid lifting kit. So TLDR yes SR has way too rigid yet realistic chassis and unrealistically rigid suspensions at least when it comes to the off-road ones BUT to call the suspensions and chassis in MR realistic is the biggest fattest lie ever. Were they fun to play with HELL YEAH but not realistic by any stretch of the imagination. Also you don't hear the RPMs going up and down my friend,you hear the turbocharger spool up. The RPMs literally work the same as in SR in the sense that when you don't accelerate they go down almost instantly but the turbo was indeed a bit more realistic because yes those things to take time to spool up to speed and slow down plus in SR the turbos are not as loud which admitedly they were way way too loud in MR. Imo the mud in SR and the physics in general are way way better over MR and MR's were better than the OG ST except the crashing physics which indeed suck ass in SR. Other than those i agree with everything else,you can still hear the transmission sound in SR but only in low gear at max acceleration if i'm not wrong and also in high gear also max accel but other than that never,all the other points about the small details missing and such i completely agree.

[@onegrumpyboi2914]

yeah, the frame flex is insane in MR, but about the suspension, i saw this video of this canadian bloke that has this volvo offroad van thing, ex military vehicle. and he said, for crawling atleast, it's suspension was way too stiff. wouldn't be surprised, you need rigid suspension to carry heavy shit and they're probably not really meant for crawling, just for mud and that. for that kinda thing strong suspension makes sense as ground clearance is important for having less resistance in deep mud with a heavy load, so your chassis isn't also having to be dragged through it.

[@ollicache]

They tried flexing chassis on P512 pf, and overall looks alright but it seems to have strange bug of generating tree branches under rear axles on certain conditions so perhaps it was part of the reason they dropped this feature during development of most trucks, to cut corners instead of fixing it.

[@wills.5762]

Hit the nail on the head. MR was unrealistically soft SR is unrealistically stiff. Never played MR but I did play spintires, and I gotta disagree on the physics point. SRs mud physics suck ass. The other 2 games did it better. SR punishes you for using momentum at all, dead opposite to how it works in the real world.

[@randomtimes4100]

One thing I noticed playing snow runner and mud runner is that mud runner was a more entertaining game it was easy to sink in 2-3 hours completing a map but snow runner doesn’t feel right. All I’m doing is holding the throttle down since the terrain physics are basically stuck or not unlike mud runner where traction felt variable and thick mud didn’t mean you needed a winch to get out all the time. The poor suspension physics that make snow runner vehicles so bouncy also makes snow runner feel off and boring as opposed to watching the suspension adapt to the environment in mud runner. The biggest issue in snow runner is how the engine and gearbox don’t feel real. Like the gears just feel like a torque or speed multiplier and not like a gearbox in beamng and the engines just make a monotone noise with no variation. Im also confused as to why they removed the H pattern from mud runner.

[@oldjeeper9174]

Pretty big problem of Mudrunner in terms of physics is not working trunnion suspension for most trucks (it works properly only on E-series). But this type of suspension is common for all Soviet 6x6 or 6x4 trucks, but this feature has no realisation in game, so truck have decreased axles articulation on game. I saw real Kamaz 4310 driving in rocks and it's rear axles articulation very impressed me. Overall, Mudrunner physics is much more pleasant than the SR's one. Flexible frames, soft suspension and a lot of small other physics things makes truck feels pretty realistic and kind of "live machine") Also, MR looks much better from trucks visuals. All trucks had real prototypes, they were pretty unique (and had their own wheels). In SR trucks are looking pretty familiar each other because of universal parts (even wheels are common for all trucks, except of special vehicles) . And after painting truck in bright colour trucks in SR looks more like cheap kid toy than a real and heavy machine.

[@andryush91]

Totally agree with you on truck look in SR. Modular system of add ons destroys the mood and character of many vehicles in SR. MR had unique set of add ons for each truck which fit them perfectly, in SR you just put random stuff onto the frame of your truck.

Snowrunner did a lot of things right like being able to swap tires, the entire garage UI, different loads for different destinations (main reason I burned out from mudrunner), being able to swap trailers and loads in multiplayer.

I can't understand why so many comments are describing Snowrunner as a crap. Of course details like cables are missing and trucks aren't as flexible as in Mudrunner, but don't forget that even basic SR is much bigger than MR with every DLC, paid and free. In SR we have truck customization like we never even dreamed while playing MR. Amount of combinations and cosmetic addons is really big and every single vehicle can be transformed in their own unique way. Game also feels much more "alive" due to descriptions of levels and quests, changeable parts of infrastructure like rocks, bridges, buildings and simulation of progress by gaining money and transfering your trucks to other maps in same condition without being forced to fit in balance points and need to unlock them again and again or restore garage first (except Ontario and Maine, but it have a sense and you need to rebuild it). Trucks interiors now finally true and made 1:1 as in real life vehicles. Variety of cargoes with different size, weight and center of gravity is the thing that we wanted couple of years ago when we got bored by doing logging and only logging. YES, Snowrunner still have some bugs or missing features and developers get a little lazy when updating it when they released Dakar Desert Rally, but please, don't be so rough to this game - it's still pretty awesome

[@SD1ONE]

All those changes you mentioned are expecte from a sequel but if you ignore those bells and whistles and just compare the physics aspect of both games, you'll see what we lost but again In no way I am saying MR is better than SR...I mean SR added so many things that it's just hard to ignore all that.

[@Dro-mAthra]

Потому что это действительно так? SR стал настоящей компьютерной игрой, но потерял любимую нами часть. Какой смысл в игре про огромные грузовики, если твоя машина не чувствуется реальной? Кроме того сама игра крайне не идеальна и требует полировки (баги которые не чинятся уже 3 года например), но разработчикам на это плевать. Больше dlc богу денег!

@@SD1ONE I am very sceptic about possible sequel and I think community don't need it - the DLC's, functions and fixes should be enough. Of course, there is couple of things that should be corrected and all of them you showed here, but except that, what you expect from Snowrunner 2? Bigger maps? More trucks? More features? Every single of it can be achieved by polishing and extending Snowrunner. If you doubt it, just check Euro Truck Simulator 2 and compare it with first versions. You will see colossal amount of changes and expansions leading to making one-another-cheap-trucksim the best truck simulator in current times (tied with ATS). Sometimes you don't need new game, especially if it's not a jump for money (like FIFA or NFS) or there is no story in game at all. Sometimes you need to make your product perfect.

The most important problem of the Snowrunner is the contact between the wheel and the ground. Visually, there is a mismatch between the wheel and the ground. Sometimes the wheel stays a few inches above the ground. In addition, there are great deficiencies in the grip of the tire to the ground. Tires feel like they are made of stone rather than rubber. When we add the reasons such as no bending of the chassis, no mud and asphalt sounds, I can't get the feeling of driving a real truck in Snowrunner. My 1/16 WPL truck has a more realistic feel.

[@SD1ONE]

This video describes perfectly my love hate relationship with Snowrunner. As much as I love both games equally, theres just a few things that keep me from saying I like Snowrunner more. The biggest one of the ones listed being the drive train sounds personally. One of my favorite parts of Mudrunner was just the care taken in the engine sounds of all the trucks. Like when I'm hauling logs with lets say the C-432010, and I just downshift and smash the peddle to the floor you can physically hear the rpms jump up. As well as the turbo start screaming. And when you couple that with the whinning of the transmission with those low cut gears, it is just a sound masterpiece that Snowrunner just can't replicate. You really forget just how much power your vehicle has under the hood and how much you use it going through harsh terrains in Snowrunner. And in Mudrunner you get that feeling of just sheer power coming from the hood. It really was and still is the biggest turn away with me going from Mudrunner to Snowrunner. Both are still great games I play often though!

Maybe the reason for no frame flex is that most trucks are not meant to bend like that too much flex can result in the bolts or welds to brake or it stays bent like that

When i digged into game and tried to make manual gearbox, i figured out that in snowrunner there are no such thing as RPM, it just doesn't exist in the game. It just calculates rotation speed of wheels and multiplies torque applied depending on how close this rotation speed is to ideal rpm. RPM gauge in cabin just shows fuel consumption if you check, its not even close to show real rpm because it doesn't exist. Because of that if you select H gear, engine stall made just by using timer, there's no engine simulation in any way. For me i just found low gear multiplier, its 0.45 for low gear and 1 for normal gear. You can find it using cheat engine. I just made it so my program changes its value so for any speed it just linearly decrease it so i have ideal gear for any speed aka cvt... When did so truck now just have constant acceleration with no decrease with any speed wich confirms that this game dont even simulate power. Its just constant torque applied to wheels in simplest way possible

I do no need to have the perfect power curve for each engine but at least they could have a bunch of diesel/gas-turbo/aspirated parametric templates with max power/rpm parameters. Of course this means you also have to setup gearboxes for each vehicle correctly.

if your trailer detaches in a crash it's because the kingpin sheared off which would effectively make the trailer useless until repaired. That's more realistic in SR.

[@Caffeinated-DaVinci]

Mudrunner was a labor of love to complete the game they set out to make with Spintires. Snowrunner is a AA game made for the lowest common denominator (causal players on console) designed to sell DLCs. I mean hell, look at SnowRunner's season passes, they literally locked BUG FIXES FOR THE BASE GAME behind buying the current season pass. They got rid of Steam Workshop which means no more branded vehicles allowed in mods, just because consoles aren't allowed to use them. Snowrunner is a downgrade in every possible way except for graphics.

[@SD1ONE]

There're many changes, many quality of life upgrades SR did and also there're many things that it do get right but yes the money making aspect is one of major reason holding it back which is so dissapointing because SR could've been much better even best out of three games.

This video singlehandedly made me remove Snowrunner from my wishlist and follow list, I can't deal with the extremely stiff trucks.

Overall it sounds like Snowrunner is just so much less immersive than Mudrunner, and that's the entire franchise's selling point.

0:41 Aren't the SnowRunner/MudRunner signs swapped? I think tires are more rigid, for ex. if you steer, tires on outside should slip under car, while tires on inside balloon out I think SnowRunner is using more rigid stuff cause it is easier to simulate than flexible frames

[@GWYVette]

I tweak/mod basically all the trucks I drive in SR for some of these reasons. I've found that most can be substantially improved. The suspension min limit is usually around minus 0.25 for most trucks, setting it to minus 0.45 to 0.6 allows the upward movement of the articulating suspension to actually work without usually clipping the bed. The other aspect is that suspensions are too firm. Making the suspension softer makes saggy butt, however this can be countered by raising the soft suspension height settings so it sits at the same level but behaves better (less 1 wheel lifts all 4 of the rear deal). Suspension damage is actually a separate variable not tied to firmness- so I often increase that. Can't f'ing stand the pebbles on roads that chunk suspension durability for absolutely no reason at all. Other tricks include tweaking the wheel mass, making the wheels artificially heavier generally improves their physics. Also making trucks artificially heavier also helps. Most trucks get 3000lbs added to the frame and maybe 1000-2000 added to the cab. Almost all vehicles get a CG tweak to be slightly lower. Some vehicles do respond to a frame flex modifier- others don't. Seems to be dependent on the body mesh file. I usually calculate the power to weight ratios and try to maintain that uniformly through tweaking so that an A+ truck remains A+ or B- is B- etc. With fairly extensive tweaking you can get close to the feel of MR suspensions on many of the trucks. You can also play around with gravity factors on cargo loads. Lower the CG of a trailer, but raise its gravity factor makes it more stable within a low angle range but exceed that angle and suddenly you'll tip easily. This allows you to haul say logs across maps quickly with a good feel, without bouncing all over or tipping over- however go over the side of a berm or hill and you will still roll. You can also modify the tree stumps and tree health values to allow stumps to be pullable/crushable and for twigs to actually break (and trees to break). The downside is when you do this- yes you can drive through a forest with a super heavy however the forest will respawn on next map reload so you really can't make new paths. I do hope in future iterations of the game they return more to a physics based core game with proper vehicle mechanics (e.g. true manual gearboxes, clutches, etc.).

Instead, SR just look like a knockoff version if MR.

As someone who owns all three games, I gotta say Spintires is the best of the three games (aside from crash bugs), which is why Mudrunner is best in this video, it's the closest to the original. Spintires has/had a way better mod community, there is a much larger variety of trucks to download then Mudrunner or Snowrunner. It's just the best of the three as far as simulations go.

[@SD1ONE]

Yes...too bad Spintire is dead now...I wish it to be developed alongside Snowrunner as both devs are different.

[@Ghosty___]

I just got back into Mudrunner, the game feels a lot cleaner and polished, cars have proper physics and do not bounce around, muddy roads look actually like where some regular cars/trucks without hyper modification used to drive and some roads look like something a regular AWD sedan could handle, suspension is way better, like others have said it is like GTA4 to GTA5 comparison. Mudrunner feels like it is fun to get stuck and explore, Snowrunner feels more like a chore to play to me. Snowrunner on the other hand is so slow it is painful, the cars feel like they are either stuck in glue or gliding on the asphalt, cars feel like bricks with wheels and bounce around the map. Since the cars are bricks like they are then they get damaged by even a small pebble on the road which is stupid as hell. What I hate the most is that MUD in Snowrunner looks like you need always like a 50" tyre heavy machinery to drive through the roads, the mud looks like an extreme mud pit everywhere and no matter how much momentum you have it will just grab the car like glue and you are stuck, the mud looks really unrealistic big chunks of mud everywhere and really deep tracks everywhere while as in Mudrunner the roads look better and you can tear them up to look very bad by just navigating through the same road multiple times. I feel that there is no 50% of mud in Snowrunner it is either a clean road or 100% big chunks of glue mud. Also the modding in Snowrunner is unrealistic, you can't fit bigger tyres under your car without lifting your truck into a monster truck (depends on the car of course), not to mention how some cars look like they are squatting in suspension (car tilted backwards) for example the first pickup truck you get if you lift it it starts to squat even more like someone put 500kg of load in the back of the truck, looks bad. Honestly I am now playing Mudrunner again and I hope the modding community continues to be very alive and I also hope that the new "Expeditions" Mudrunner game has similar physics to Mudrunner not Snowrunner. I will always choose gameplay over graphics so if I get nice graphics it is fine but do not sacrifice the game for it, Mudrunner looks really good to me still too and Snowrunner only has slightly better graphics and snow maps going for it (even then snow feels also like glue). Mudrunner in some maps looks a bit more gray in colors but it is how the weather is there and it actually feels somehow more real (like a cloudy autumn muddy weather) even things like water look like it actually is muddy water not a clean puddle everywhere. Just wanted to let you know that one more person agrees with all of this.

Yes, it's less "Fun and flashy", but me personally, I love how lifelike everything feels in ST/MR. Simple things like how the mud reacts to you driving over it. With certain loads and consistencies of the mud, it will either pack under the tires allowing for traction, or it will realistically squish and swallow the tires. It feels like everything in SR is made to be as dramatic and extreme as possible for the pure spectacle of it, but it, in turn, takes me out of the experience.

The stumps is real life are really hard to take off the ground even with heavy vehicles so I think SR ones are closer to reality, I just wish we had a chainsaw... And terrain, reality always surpasses fiction, in real world terrain can be so much harder than the Snowrunner terrain. About the sounds I don't have idea, but I will look for some videos of the real vehicles to hear the engines. The wires detail is really cool, i don't know why they didn't add it to Snowrunner.

Snow Runner is a downgrade on driveability especially with a wheel setup. In mudrunner you could use a manual gearbox and select each gear i.e. 1,2,3,4,5 but in Snowrunner you have this default auto box. Second the rev range. Mud runner has realistic rev range which worked like real world trucks. Whereas in Snowrunner you have a wierd default rev range for all trucks. All these things remove the sense of challenge from the game. Not to mention the almost useless wheel and pedal support. If you have same manufacturer equipment then you are okay. But if you have different brand equipment you are screwed.
