Snowrunner Top 10 things that I dont use anymore and why

In this video I'll show you things that I dont use much in Snowrunner and why in no particular order. These things could be trailers, addons or simply mechanics and missions of game that I usually avoid to do.

I think most of these addons are for giving variety and realism to the game. For example I use big cranes for heavy loads because using the small ones doesn't have any sense. I use the K700 or the little cat to move logs or cargo because it's different and sometimes is fun to use them.

[SarcasticTentacle]

Heavy cranes would be a lot more useful if they actually had an appreciable amount of extra reach and lift capacity over the smaller loading cranes. Too often something can be in the green circle of a crane's reach but still not able to be hooked onto because of some arbitrary bs like for example trying to latch onto something across a river or one of those many missions where a car is stuck down a ravine and the only way to reach it is to somehow land in there yourself.

8 slot trailer was useful for me in Yukon and Wisconsin for those big building tasks or crafting recipies. Wide, straight roads and quite often on tarmac. New seasons weren't good for it.

[viperlabs]

The argument for the heavy crane is pretty simple, it’s way faster and far more practical when handling large mission cargo. It’s also very useful for getting vehicles unstuck in hard mode

[Mustang]

Large long loads are way less of a pain with the larger crane.
The 8 slot trailer is handy with larger trucks and to avoid multiple trips. Also useful if you just want to bring a large amount of cargo to a main road that makes it easier to offload onto smaller trucks.

[KhaledAlfaris]

Regarding what you said at 5:46, you actually don't have to search for them map to map, you just go to the "maps progress page" and then to the "trucks tab" and it will tell you exactly where all your trucks are.

[Hybris]

Pretty much spot on for me though I do tend to use the 8 slot trailer on a more regular basis with a lot of winch work to drag the tail of the trailer around corners. I also almost exclusively use the heavy crane/log crane because I will take a truck that I otherwise don't care about especially if its a free one given to me and park it somewhere where I need a crane for loading. I only really use the smaller crane for the "spilled cargo over this area of the map" type missions or when I have rolled a truck and want to fully recover everything in one go.

One thing that I don't use hardly at all though is putting vehicles on trailers. I either drive the vehicle needed or just winch it behind a another truck. If its something that will require fuel/repair support at the end destination then I will have the tow vehicle loaded out with the right addons and trailer to do so.

I have taken to using the 8 slot trailer as a staging platform. Load it with 8 of what ever I need, and pick it off later as needed. I love the Crocodile (Step 33-64) for that role as 'pilot' of the staging platform. Its cheap and has just enough power to move it around even loaded, as least over easy terrain. And oddly, I tend to leave a 'bad' truck with a full size crane there to move cargo around.

[the_omg]

Most of your points I agree with, except the scout flatbeds. I'll use those once in a while when I'm opening a map with a scout truck. (often Loadstar) What I really like is that they can back up much easier than medium trailers with their steerable front axles. I'd really love to have a large version of the scout trailers for bigger trucks. (2 slot, center axles)
I used to use the 8 slot trailers a lot, but once the Paystar 5600 came out with it's 3 slot bed, I usually just use that and a 4 slot ramped flatbed for 7 cargo and much easier turning.

[MarkusHansson]

Ah yes, the metal detector, does not detect cargo very well from a distance so you pretty much have to drive up next to the cargo anyway.

[lawnmowerdude]

This might sound bizarre but I like there being impractical ways to complete tasks. It’s up to the player to find what works and what doesn’t. That’s what I really like about this game is there isn’t really any one way to complete anything. Even if it barely works it’s up to the player to find a better solution.

[jamesbennett]

For the " impractical loading' . Its only because your over extending the boom. If you detach the trailer and park parallel to the trailer with the target cargo on the other side. You will be able to load with a even center of gravity then re attach the trailer. Also why heavy cranes make more sense because they are heavier and can lift with a further extended boom do to the heavy weight and center of gravity

[GetOutterMeHouse]

I still use the heavy crane for big messes I’ve made, especially if I’ve managed to lay over the kenworth 963 or derry special. Those trucks are absurdly heavy, and even modded minicranes can’t really do it sometimes, not enough support on the ground or something you know. I’m not really sure, but maybe it would be particularly helpful in hardcore. This is a really good video things like the fine tune gearbox and not being able to load medium logs with the Russian trak-tor are big pointers. Things like this can make trips in snowrunner dreadful

[stover]

I use the garage slots, but make sure i retain all of them before switching to another map with a garage. You have to plan ahead more in Hard mode. I will convoy a couple trucks while hauling packed trucks on trailers in that case, which can be pretty fun and irritating at the same time 😂

[Gogoron]

I use the Superheavy semi-trailer very often. It is a thing that can be used perfectly, but you need to plan the route well.

[DoubleX]

I do use the big cranes for special purposes like loading the plane, pulling the tanks out of the lake in Imandra or when rescuing the Khan Sentinel in Amur. I like the new one it has much more length. I agree with everything you said, I even forgot the metal detector was a thing. Only exception is garage slots, I use all of them and check before leaving that I didn't left a truck behind.

1:18 when you are sleepy and trying to pull up the blanket.

I think I used a 8-slot in every season since they came out. I recommend only use them with KOLOB's (preferably with the lift suspension), they have the best combination of natural weight in the vehicle itself to counter the trailers weight, low range engine torque to keep dragging the trailer even when it bottoms out, and 8X8 traction to keep things moving at all times. Kenworth and P12 are to weak for 8-slots, P16 only has RWD. I have had the Boar drag around an 8-slot in Island Lake, Michigan with great success, but that map is largely flat mud.

Pretty much with an 8-slot, if you don't want to use a KOLOB, don't bother.

It is funny though, I've taken 8-slots places in this game people have no business taking 8-slots. I've damn near bent these trailers into L's at some points trying to jam them around corners they have no business going around. Heck in Season 6 I took 8-slots to the second map and dragged them up around where that broken power pole was. lol

9 chances out 10 I don't care what it takes, if I want an 8-Slot to go somewhere, it's going these. I'll drag it, ram it, winch it, whatever I have to do to make it happen, it's happening.

So far the places that have beaten me in that tiny, really sharp L-Turn on the Smithville Dam's, Dam. And in Tennessee (Season 7) those really narrow sharp S-Turns that are on that one road.

Those two have beaten me. Anywhere I've thus far wanted to take an 8-slot though, come hell or high water it's bloody gone there one way or another. lol

[maxcox]

Like most of the comment section, I agree with the exception of 8-box trailers. I use them a lot. I don’t drag them everywhere, but I put it on my highway truck, tow it where I need, to use as a mobile base. I use a crane to load it onto nimbler platforms and deliver it from there rather than making multiple trips back and forth in the smaller trucks and trailer combos.

[dlmunlimited]

Pretty much sums it up for me as well 😅 I do use the heavy cranes stationary at warehouses as it makes life loading an unloading a lot easier. If they added a log crappler to the telehandler and increased the reach on K-700 log crappler that would make me use them.
