The time has come for the developers to share news about MudRunner.

As we already know, public beta testing of Steam Workshop map support has been launched for PC players. This version also includes an updated editor.

Depending on how successful this testing goes, the developers plan to release an update for the stable PC version of the game. Please make sure you try the test version; your feedback is very valuable!

You can find out how to access the public beta here.

There is more news concerning the long-term development of the game.

The developers are very pleased with how players received the "Valley" DLC! It was the first expansion for Spintires: MudRunner, and it added not only a new map but also three new vehicles.

The developers are very happy that this content resonated with the community, and they are currently working on a similar expansion, which they plan to show us next month or a little later. The update will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. More details will be shared soon.

As we already know, work is underway on MudRunner USA (working title), and the developers are still aiming to release this project this year.

Obviously, MudRunner USA is being developed for the USA and will be set in America, where a huge part of the Spintires community is located, so the developers want to showcase the most popular local vehicles in this version of the game.

The developers continue to explore options for adding mods to the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner and thank modders for their contribution in helping make Spintires: MudRunner a better game, but, as always—there are no concrete plans for implementing mods right now. Most likely, mods for the console versions of Spintires: MudRunner will be implemented as DLC.

Finally, work on the Spintires: MudRunner version for Nintendo Switch is still ongoing. No details yet, but they promise to share more in the future.

MTZ-82 and MTZ-82.1 tractors of the 1985 model are all-wheel drive versions of the legendary MTZ-80 series with small and large cabs. The engine is only 81 hp, the weight is about 3.5 tons. Tractors have excellent cross-country ability. There are two addons available for transporting timber (2 points, short logs): a 2PTS-4 trailer and a trolley with cones, on the same chassis. However, the transportation of timber on these tractors is not an easy task, because tractors are light, and the coupling weight may not be enough to pull a heavy trailer.

From the addons, a garage trolley is available (based on 2PTS-4), two types of loaders: front, PKU-5-19, and rear loading crane. For both versions of the tractor, a front blade is available, which can be used to clear roads and loading areas from stones and branches. Two variants of rear mechanization can be installed: one is animated and has a lifting mechanism, the second is with the hydraulics and trailer hitch disabled. All models have rich animations and look great.

I created almost all 3D models specifically for these tractors. Textures were also rendered anew, for new models. Nevertheless, I want to say a huge thank you to D.Alexandrovich, N. Kutsapalov, vorkir, etc., because it all started with their excellent fashion, made back in 2014, some of the elements of which can still be found in the cabs of my tractors :)

Please note that trailers from these tractors will be available at my GAZ-53 with simultaneous installation of two mods.

Have a nice game!

#bestMap2018

Today the developers released a small (yeah, right – editorial note) update for SpinTires: MudRunner – this update is required for the DLC The Ridge, which will be released tomorrow.
The DLC is currently planned to be released on May 29 at 3 PM UTC.

Changelog:
- New game mode – Scavenging.
- New map – The Ridge.
- New vehicles – UMZ 6A and MAZ 538.

Improvements:
- Locked trucks are now covered with tarpaulin.
- Wheel physics improved (wheels are now softer).
- Loaders and cranes are now more powerful and move more smoothly.
- Automatic transmission improvements.
- Game stability improvements related to mods (fixed errors due to memory limitations).
- The in-game mod browser now displays mod information.
- Various other fixes.

If you don’t want to update to the new version of SpinTires: MudRunner, for example due to mod compatibility, you can select the branch ver_18_03_06 in the game’s properties under the beta tab.

And now the most interesting part – with the new DLC, license holders can play it right now! However, if you launch the game as usual, you won’t see the new content. But if you launch the game through SpinTiresMod.exe version 1.7.1, although the game version will be shown as old, all the new content will be available in the game!

- 1 garage (closed);
- 6 sawmills;
- 2 refills;
- 2 loading points;
- 14 intelligence points;
- 3 cars at the start.

Map size: 1024x1024 meters.

- 1 garage;
- 1 refueling station;
- 1 loading point;
- 2 sawmills
- 3 points of exploration.

Brings the behavior of dirt in the game closer to reality.

Now, if you fly into the mud at full speed, respectively, mud splashes heavily stain the car, when slipping and driving through mud on high gear as well, but to a lesser extent, well, etc., depending on the selected speed mode.
The mud splashes themselves and their physics have been made more realistic, ridiculous lumps on wheels have been removed (thanks to Soul Reaver for that) and dry small hard lumps flying out from under the wheels, only slush has been left, its intensity has been increased at gears 1+ and higher.
Pollution on cars now has volume, which also adds realism.

I recommend using it with the following additions, it will greatly darken the visual effects of the new dirt:
SweetFX graphics improvement
Always the sun+Fog Reduction+Blue sky
Removing graphics noise

To work in multiplayer:
Do not install SweetFX. Use SpinTiresMod.exe with the original files in the game disabled.
PS. Many thanks for the help to Alexander Oboskalov.

Installation:
In case you don't like it, the archives of the game Media, MeshCache, TextureCache copy and save in a separate folder.
Copy files from the downloaded archive to the game archives, agreeing to a replacement.
In any unclear situation, we clean the cache.

Have a nice ride!
