The Mod Manager program allows you to manage mods, edit them, and configure them thoroughly.
Mod Manager enables anyone to change parameters such as: category, brand, description, cost (purchase, designs, colors), capacity, types of transported crops, loading/unloading speed, engines (price, daily maintenance, power, etc.), fuel tank capacity, fuel consumption, braking power, and many others.

The program can also automatically rename inadmissible mod names, as well as fix certain syntax errors in XML files. For this, the mod must be saved in the program.

With Mod Manager, you can install and uninstall mods. If you check the box next to the parameter: "Unpack," the mod will be installed in unpacked form. Temporary deactivation is also provided, in case you are not ready to delete the mod permanently right now. It will simply disappear from the mods folder, but you can always restore it by pressing the "Activate" button.

You can change the mods installation directory.

The program is equipped with Russian, Ukrainian, and English languages. This significantly simplifies its understanding for everyone.

"American Wilds" is a brand new paid DLC that will be included with the game for newcomers to Spintires: MudRunner, as well as sold separately on OCTOBER 23, 2018. It is the third largest expansion of all, featuring completely new content for the game, including 9 new vehicles, two new maps, and an entirely new game setting – the United States of America!

UPD: The approximate price of the DLC has become known – $10 – considering regional prices in the CIS, it will cost around 350 rubles (half the price of the game itself).

Today we will tell you about the Chevrolet Bison

Vehicle description:
The "Bison" is a highway truck, fast and reliable. It is capable of delivering cargo quickly.

Technical specifications:
The "Bison" does not have all-wheel drive, so it’s not suitable for off-road driving. Its durability is 600 units, with a 330-liter fuel tank. This is enough for a long trip on the most "exciting" roads.

Advantages:
The Chevy Bison is one of the most powerful trucks in the game.

Disadvantages:
You cannot install a crane on the Chevrolet Bison, so loading logs onto it will have to be done from another vehicle. Therefore, it will require assistance to complete tasks on the map. Additionally, due to the lack of all-wheel drive, the Bison is completely unsuitable for off-road driving.

Add-ons:
- Flatbed semi-trailer: can be used as a car carrier.
- Fuel tank - 1400 liters.
- Fuel semi-trailer - 4200 liters
- Fuel trailer - 1800 liters
- Logging body: allows transporting short logs.
- Logging hitch: allows attaching a large logging semi-trailer.
- Large logging semi-trailer: allows transporting long logs.
- Medium logging semi-trailer: allows transporting medium logs.
- Standard hitch: allows attaching various trailers to the tractor.
- Service trailer: provides 600 repair and 2 garage points.
- Service semi-trailer: provides 1200 repair and 4 garage points.

Today we will talk about the Ford F150.

Compared to trucks, the F150 seems small, but its all-wheel drive and differential lock allow this powerful SUV to be used in many situations. And when all-wheel drive is not needed, you can always disconnect the front axle.

Technical specifications:
Compared to trucks, the F150 does not have the most spacious fuel tank – only 80 liters. Therefore, the Ford is well suited for scouting terrain, but on long trips it will need support and refueling. However, 300 durability points allow it to confidently traverse rough terrain.

Advantages:
A fast and maneuverable SUV. Performs excellently both on the road and off-road. A great choice for scouting and forging new routes.

Disadvantages:
Due to the limited set of additional modules, the Ford F150, like other jeeps, is unlikely to become the main "workhorse" of your fleet.

Add-ons:
- Truck bed cover (canopy): affects only the appearance.
- Repair module – holds up to 20 liters of fuel and provides 150 repair points.
- Roof rack – holds up to 80 liters of fuel.
- Spare wheel – provides 60 repair points.

This tool creates a Shadercache.sdc file from a set of .fx/.fhx shaders, allowing the use of modified shaders in the game. It works with versions 25.12.15 and 03.03.16.
You need to load the Spintires editor to obtain the original shader code.

A full description of this tool is in the text document inside the archive.

P.S.: I don’t know if it will work in Spintires: MudRunner.

Object "Gearbox". The object is taken from the materials for the game Spintires: MudRunner. On the advice of a local expert who had seen the gearbox earlier on the map, I changed the object's texture. I decided that it looks much better this way and wanted to share it))

Hello, friends!

While we are preparing and considering future functionality updates for the project, several important topics have come up for discussion. All system updates that Khan planned to implement in the near future have been taken on by us and will definitely be completed, as well as new ideas that have arisen at this stage of work. Feel free to write to us in private messages if you have any suggestions for improving the site’s operation; we will gladly consider them.

Below, please participate in 2 polls. The new section will be created immediately (or almost immediately) after the voting on October 27. The site’s language version is more complicated; at this stage, it is important to understand whether it is needed at all.

I also want to inform you that VK comments will, most likely, be removed from the site. The reason is simple: there is no way to properly moderate messages, which causes many unpleasant problems. This will happen sooner or later, so I ask everyone who has not yet created an account to register.
