We are not early. Test the mods selected in June by Saber Interactive, while it is August. We will come back for responsiveness. Especially since this selection is a level above what we have seen so far on SnowRunner.
The selection of SnowRunner mods by the developers, Saber Interactive, for the Creator Awards is always done according to 4 categories: Vehicles, Map design, Environment, and Unique Mod.
For the first vehicle, the Squarebody Trail Bruiser from modder JohnJohnHotRod, developers announce »aVery well designed amionette - very detailed with lots of customization options. Perfect for crawling through rocks. " Unfortunately for us, we cannot download the mod via mod.io's "subscribe" function while in game. We get an error message. The mod clearly lacks optimization, with over 500MB on the scale for a single vehicle!
For the 2nd vehicle, the Type B-601 from VladSib72, Saber is full of praise: “We really like the modular trucks that fit well into our game, along with the rest of our fleet. This mod is a great example of that with very high textures and 3D model quality, and fantastic sounds. " Tested on a fairly flat map, the vehicle goes everywhere and the equipment offered in the background is an excellent companion during a multiplayer session.
For the "Map Design" award, it is Dun Morogh by Hashwelder who took over the place. This snowy map features interesting objectives, challenging tasks, and routes that require a little thought. Despite the difficulty, it remains practicable for all solo.
MADMartinQc signs thea map Canadian Runner 02 - The old Volcano, which won the Map Environnement trophy. "One of the first high quality mod maps released for our game" rejoice the developers. And there is something. MudRunner-like, this map, surrounded by water, revolves around a volcano at its center. Very practicable, it still has a few traps, including unstable ground in which the vehicles sink very quickly, without an attachment point for the winch. Canadian Runner 02 looks like a real SnowRunner home map, and features a long list of missions and tasks. The decor also features personal 3Ds that remind us of MudRunner's heyday. To install urgently!
Finally the "Unique" mod is none other than a vehicle well known to MudRunner players: The RNG TX Bridge Layer. It was not known by that name, but there were vehicles with equivalent functions, the main one being to be able to deploy a movable bridge in order to take your friends over short precipices. If the Bridge Layer has little interest in solo, it will easily find its place in a multiplayer convoy.
