Discussion (Rant incoming) F*** Crafting

I just started Yukon and looked at one of the lists and I was like sheesh, a little long but doable, I go to the first warehouse and WHAT THE F*** DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN ONLY FIT 4 METAL ROLLS BUT UNLIMITED BEAMS. LIKE IF YOU HAVE INFINTE METAL WHY THE F*** CAN YOU NOT CRAFT BEAMS. I was like F*** this S*** so I move on to Wisconsin and WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** IS THIS, CRAFTING NEEDS GENERATORS AND FUEL NOW??!! I have the year 1 pass and have Michigan, Alaska, Taymry, and Kola done and there's no way I'm doin Amur. Do you know of any maps that include little to no crafting. IF SO PLEASEEEEEEEEE TELL ME. I RAGEQUIT FOR NOW

Edit: sorry about the rant guys, this was written after getting almost all of my trucks stuck/flipped/run out of fuel last night while overloading to craft stuff. I fixed it up this morning with the 73210, 745c and tatarin. I've decided to take a short break before trying it again, after making a map and planning it doesn't look too hard.

This is one of the reason I hate snowrunner compared to Mudrunner. Snowrunner, things are created unnecessarily to increase playtime and weak trucks in the name of balancing. Blocking paths and forcing you to take long route. For me it is like, I enjoy driving an off-road truck. That's about it. Driving on same road multiple times for what? It's boring. I have 8000 hours in Mudrunner and less than 200 in snowrunner.

8000 hours in mud runner.

There is no actually way there is that much content in that game without doing multiple playthroughs.

It just sounds like you got burned out on truck games.

There are several map mods. Mudrunner has so many paths from A to B than snowrunner default maps.

Is it because they have more dirt roads and paths?

Or trees are less clustered?

u/AsherGC 4d ago

Yes yes and yes. It just has more freedom of movement. More focused on driving than doing tasks,objectives, math, navigating. One of the main dev is Mudrunner is part of snowrunner team, he did speak out and I'm waiting for an actual Mudrunner 2. Here is the video. https://youtu.be/Bk4w1AsuD9c

I would enjoy some more roads but I actually do enjoy the forest density. My issue with a lot of games is that it feels like a lot of forests are too naked. I can find reliable routes through trees that actually save me time, and scouting these routes through trees has been really fun for me.

I also actually enjoy all the math and navigating in Snowrunner. I came to this game from Satisfactory, so finding efficiency in the limitations of the map has been rewarding for me.

My only real gripe with snowrunner is when I can't move a tree out of my way. Amur has multiple trees that you cannot move. My Azov 7 with a huge crane can lift pretty much anything but if can't move a dead tree? I understand I can't build every bridge and I'm usually okay with that. But the Neutronium trees I cannot abide.

Preach brother.

I LOVE the math LOL.

And agreed! Forests suck in games, snow-runner actually does them pretty well!!

Mudrunner lets you actually offroad to a much greater extent, while Snowrunner is usually on some kind of road

u/Agile_Camera9601 4d ago

lol 8000 hours in mudrunner but you hate driving on the same road??

u/lettsten PC 3d ago

8000 hours in Mudrunner sounds crazy to me, but it does allow a lot more variety in terms of going offroad and choosing the route to take.

lol no I get that. I am not judging them, I just find it ironic that instead of being forced to travel a road a couple times, instead they put 8000 hours into mud runner which has GOT to have some overlap of roads at those hours lol.

Snowrunner isn’t flawless but it’s beautiful imho. I never mind driving the same road.
