Spintires: MudRunner news 83

Six months have passed since the release of SpinTires: MudRunner, and today the developers announced a new feature in SpinTires: MudRunner for all dedicated players and fans - a new simulator mode for SpinTires: MudRunner. This mode is "True Hardcore," which will make the game much harder and increase the difficulty of progression.

How does it work? Now you can encounter spots on the map that will be collapsing quicksand! These spots are randomly generated, and you will have to carefully plan and check your route to avoid getting stuck up to the roof. You will need to demonstrate all your winch mastery, as well as show all your truck driving skills, to avoid getting stuck in the sand forever.

Quicksand is deadly even in multiplayer, thanks to the fact that the sand can drag several trucks connected by a winch underground at once. To survive, be ready to stop immediately and lend a helping hand to your friends. If your vehicle sinks too deep underground, it will become inaccessible until the end of the map run.

You can try to pull the vehicle out if you really try hard, but it will require the work of your entire team as a single unit, and even if you manage to pull your vehicle out - it will remain inaccessible until you fully repair it.

Good luck, you will need it now — because the mud has truly become deadly!

Today the 18/03/06 update has been released, adding Steam Workshop map support for PC players. Now maps can officially be added and downloaded in the workshop just like vehicles.

In addition to the game, the Spintires: MudRunner Editor has also been updated. To help everyone get acquainted with the modding tools, the developers have created a detailed guide (Eng.). This manual teaches how to create both vehicles and maps.
Moreover, modders have already added quite a few useful n#scrollTop=0">modding guides.

Changes on the proving ground:
- You can finally select any vehicle, even if you don’t have enough progress points for normal gameplay.
- Dev level (?)

Editor changelog:
- Fixed bugs and improved map editing mode.
- Undo/redo history (CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y) now works for changing object position and orientation.
- Trucks are now better visualized on the map. Added a dialog for selecting truck/trailer/addon.
- Truck orientation can now be arbitrary. (Trucks no longer need to be grounded)
- Mods can now contain levels that export correctly to the workshop.
- Improvements made to the "import spintires-2016 level" feature (importing maps from the 2016 version).
- Vehicle textures are now better optimized during export to the workshop.
- Added a "default screenshot" feature for uploaded mods, including maps.

If you don’t want to switch to this update, you can stay on the old version by selecting the ver_18_01_29b branch in the available betas.

And as always, please share any suggestions and issues you find.

Today the developers are pleased to announce Ridge, the second free DLC for Spintires: MudRunner, coming soon to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
The Ridge DLC promises to introduce a new map called "Ridge," two new vehicles, and, for the first time, an entirely new game mode.
On the map, we will see a mountain ridge that divides the territory into two areas and is incredibly difficult to cross. This will be made even harder with the introduction of two new vehicles, the D-538 and B-6A. More detailed information about these vehicles will be provided in future vehicle-specific news.

These new additions will help players tackle the new challenging game mode introduced in Ridge – Scavenge.
The Scavenge mode, unique to the "Ridge" map, is a mode without logging camps. This means players won’t be able to simply take logs and transport them. Instead, there are now random "collection spots." These spots—two or three locations—are randomly selected each time you start the map, and logs spawn there that must be collected with the crane!

Currently, there is no specific planned release date for the Ridge DLC, but it is tentatively expected by the end of May.

The developers continue to work on MudRunner USA and still promise to share more information about it in the future, but are currently exploring options regarding licensed vehicles for it.

The development team thanks the dedicated modding community for helping make Spintires: MudRunner the best game, but for now, they are only exploring options and have no concrete plans for implementing mods on consoles in the short term.

Finally, the Nintendo Switch version of Spintires: MudRunner is still in development—no details yet.

SpinTires: MudRunner is an unparalleled off-road driving experience that attracts players to navigate impassable roads in harsh conditions. Available on PC and consoles, SpinTires: MudRunner will be expanded on May 29, 2018, with the new DLC "The Ridge." This free expansion includes a new map, new vehicles, and new addons for exploring the terrain.
"The Ridge" is a coastal map split in half by a mountain ridge. Players will need to act very carefully if they want to shorten travel time by crossing through the center of the mountain ridge.

In addition to the brand-new map, two new vehicles will be provided: the D-538 (MAZ-538) - a heavy tractor, and the B-6A (UMZ-6A) - a light tractor. These two vehicles can be used on any map, provided you have enough progress points to unlock the vehicles. The "Ridge" map can now be completed with a new type of log delivery called "Scavenging." Logs are now scattered across the map, and players will need to find them in various locations in the wilderness to complete the map and earn progress points.

SpinTires: MudRunner offers players incredible content and unique experiences – the game features a unique genre where players are given new tasks to solve real-world off-road challenges. Dedicated players and off-road enthusiasts will appreciate the highly realistic driving sensations thanks to the game's advanced physics engine, differential transmission system, tire-soil modeling, as well as realistic interactions with vegetation, mud, water, and your truck.

The DLC "The Ridge" will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 29.
