So, this happened to me again guys :(

context: Being a father of a 6m baby means your game session can will be interrupted at any moment. You handle the "emergency" (undetermined amount of time) then you can come back to where you were.

So there I was, in the freezing Amur delivering two loads of short logs, watching the beautiful sunrise while wondering why the Fisherman's House would do with 2 short and 1 medium logs. Anyway, I am summoned to a baby emergency, so I quickly hit start on the controller to "Pause" the game and off I go.

45 minutes later I am back, I hit continue and... the beautiful sunrise turned int a pitch black night and my truck run out of fuel. So now a delivery mission gets the added bonus of a rescue mission, like there wasn't enough tasks required for me to complete in Chernokamensk...

PS: Yes I know if I "return to main menu" it will save the game and prevent this from happening, but that also requires reloading the map when you come back, and sometimes it will take more time to load than the time you are away. I also know I can stop the truck engine manually before pressing start.

Just wondering if there was any 1 key/button way of really pausing the simulation.

• If your truck rides proud while it's slingin' through mud, keep in mind that with cargo on its bed will make it thud.

• If you feel like the task is too easy and you will complete it in one trip, your truck will tip.

• Put it on neutral when you go downhill and on road, you will go faster but make sure you keep control.

• Don't take shortcuts when you're 100 meters away. Just ride easy, keep it safe, or you might go astray.

• Russian trucks are always better. We don't know why, but they sure are.

I was trying to load the Kodiak onto the flatbed trailer and noticed it was a bit too wide for the trailer. I tried anyway. When it flipped to the side while loading, I thought, "Good idea physics! It would fit much better this way!" and then pulled it completely onto the trailer in that position with the crane.

The wheels and the small crane are wedged between the stakes, preventing it from sliding off. However, the center of mass is obviously off-center, which caused the trailer to flip later.

I honestly didn't bother search if it was already known, just posted as is because it took me by surprise. Did you know?

Recovery done right u/TheWanderingMerc made one heck of truck

Hey community, how do you usually deal with burnouts from the game? Like me, you just let it sit for some time or are there other ways to push through?

So here is what's happening...

I'm in Yukon, playing each map in the order they have come out. I have completed everything in Big Salmon Peak, and for flooded foothills, I'm left now with the tasks to transport cargo to the gold mine, sorting and repair the conveyor belts.

Yesterday I spent most of my afternoon just roaming around the northern part of the map gathering resources from the houses and storing them at the concrete factory near the garage. And I still have everything south and a cross the river to gather. Not to mention the ABSURD amount of cargo to deliver to the gold mine alone. Just looking at it discourages me.

Are there any tips on how to handle situations like that? Or to be more effective in delivering all the cargo?

And for the love of God, please keep at bay all comments like "the game is about cargo delivery". I understand that. I just don't want to get burned almost on every sitting because of Yukon.

PS: Kola was actually more enjoyable than Yukon. The challenge was the terrain, not the volume of cargo repeating the same path.

North Port, Alaska

hello, i want to get into yukon and other maps but i dont want to deal with that blackriver stuff (my dream is to go to alaska so i want to experience it in a game dont question it pls). is there a way to get into other maps?

... they made me carry water in Ontario.

Another case of how did I get here. Absolutely despise the lowbed trailer only was using it because it was already on the map, not worth it

Playing on switch so sorry for bad images

16 slots of cargo? Put it in 4

I am playing Kola right now, it’s a beautiful map but the missions so far is a lot of “go explore here” Does anyone else feel It looks like a intro for the game expeditions?

So far just using scout vehicles for that and haven’t unlocked Imandra (I guess that’s what the second map is) I haven’t done all the logging missions in base game, just when I needed money, should I come back and do it, hear everyone saying Kola is hard I might need more trucks for oil and repairs as region doesn’t have much, so far, for me is just slow cuz of heavy snow.

Gimme your thoughts, Michigan is my favorite map so far, what else can I expect on such different region

Time to see what this little warthog can do! I'll update how my trek to Imandra goes...or if I even make it.

Do you pick a favorite truck and just buy duplicates of it?

I pretty much have all my money tied up in trucks, and have zero duplicates. I just upgrade/modify a truck the way I want when I get it, and more or less just use it in that role forever. By the time I finished Alaska I had about a dozen trucks scattered all over the map.

Is there any way to fix this bridge in Taimyr? It'y annoying to drive all the way around just to get to the village.

Transporting trucks can almost be more fun than the actual missions sometimes lol
