- 3 of their addons + default;
- Various animations;
- View from the cabin.

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

The mod was invented and made on the basis of the default KamAZ-4310. To demonstrate in the game, I am posting a test version, in order to find out interest in this mod, whether it is worth developing it, leave your comments.
It has 24 addons ( two of them are its own and some default is remade for this mod ) .

Required: DLC "Valley" and DLC "Ridge (The Ridge)"

The archive is prepared for installation via SpinTiresMod.exe. Place the archive in the Mods folder (...\SpintiresMod\Data\SpinTires MudRunner\Mods\ ).
In order for the language file to work, the archive should be called: KAMAZ_4310_Caterpillars_29.05.18_STMR

Attention: This mod will not work without SpinTiresMod.exe

Co-author of the mod: Silent (he will develop this mod in the future, for which I thank him very much)
Who is interested, change and improve, we are only "for".
Have a nice game to everyone.

"Valley" is a completely new and free expansion releasing on PC, PS4, and Xbox early this year. This first expansion will include entirely new game content with three new vehicles and a new map. Similar to the "Flood" map, you will start outside the garage, which must be unlocked first.

Ahead of the release of the "Valley" expansion, we brought back the vehicle presentation to tell you about the new transport added to the game in the free expansion!

Vehicle Description:
The second 8x8 vehicle to be added to Spintires: MudRunner. The E-7429 is another incredibly powerful vehicle with some hidden talents.

Specifications:
The E-7429 has an 800-liter fuel tank and is equipped with all-wheel drive as well as a differential lock. It can sustain up to 600 damage points. It will be unlocked immediately on the "Valley" map but requires 5 progress points on other maps.

Advantages:
The E-7429 is an excellent vehicle for traversing difficult terrain and can tow any vehicle. It can also handle any heavy loads.

Disadvantages:
The E-7429 is very fuel-hungry and not the fastest vehicle. Its lack of speed is compensated by its power.

Add-ons:
The E-7429 is a powerful vehicle and therefore carries important equipment for rescuing vehicles from difficult terrain. It is also the largest vehicle capable of towing trailers, making it a very useful service vehicle.

Fuel Tank – can carry fuel.
Garage Semi-Trailer – transports 4 garage points
Garage Trailer – trailer with two garage points.
Spare Wheel – for vehicle repairs.
Logging Platform – can carry medium logs.
Logging Platform Trailer – can carry medium logs.
Repair Kit – for vehicle repairs.
Hitch – allows attaching semi-trailers.
Board Trailer – a trailer that allows transporting short logs.

The development team at Focus Home Interactive is launching a public beta test for Spintires: MudRunner. The test version fixes performance issues that appeared after the release of the "The Valley" DLC. This beta test will run until Monday.

By using the beta version of the game, you will be able to play multiplayer with players who are using both the beta and non-beta versions.

To get the beta version of the game, you need to opt into it on Steam:
1. Right-click on Spintires: MudRunner in your Steam game library
2. Click “Properties” and go to the “BETAS” tab
3. Select public_beta from the dropdown menu.

After that, you will become a participant in the public beta test. This should fix any performance issues you have noticed since the release of the "The Valley" DLC.

If you continue to experience problems in this beta version, please provide the game logs (which can be found here: C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\SpinTires MudRunner and upload them to WeTransfer.com – they are generated by holding SHIFT while launching the game) and your list of mods.

If the beta version turns out to be worse for you than the current version, please revert to the base game and send the developers the game logs and mod list as described above.

Please report in the comments on https://forums.focus-home.com/topic/5112/public-be..">this post whether the beta version fixes these issues; your feedback is highly valued by the developers!

Some time has passed since the developers released the "Valley" DLC on February 13, and they are happy to see so many players enjoying this map and the three new vehicles.

The developers noticed that some players create their own maps using screenshots of fully explored and completed maps or, in some cases, drawings. They assume that some of us would like to make maps based on minimap images, so they have packaged all the map images in high resolution so we can print them out and create our own maps from them. (Perhaps these maps await us in future updates and DLC – translator’s note).

The images can be found here: https://we.tl/IYVl6j93B6

The developers assure that they are actively working on the game and improving it, as they say, on all fronts, and mentioned several specific points.
Currently, an update is actively being developed to enable support for maps in the Steam Workshop and other useful features.

In addition, MudRunner USA (working title) is currently under active development. (The developers do not specify whether this is an update, DLC, or a new game – translator’s note). The developers note that the majority of the Spintires: MudRunner community is in the USA, so they are trying to support them with familiar content. They are also exploring licensing official vehicles for this. It is noted that MudRunner USA will be installed specifically in the USA (this may mean a localization of the game with local equipment and environment – translator’s note). The release is expected within this year.

In addition to MudRunner USA, the developers continue to explore options for adding mods to console versions of the game. They note that they highly value modifications and thank players for noticeably improving the game with their help. The best mods for consoles will most likely be released as DLC.

Finally, work is underway to port the game to Nintendo Switch. There are no details yet, but as soon as they appear, they promise to tell us.

In conclusion – the game creators are working on many different things at the moment, all of which will come later this year! We look forward to more news on each of them throughout the year.

Friends, hello everyone! On the Mr.BoS channel and on the STMods.ru website, as well as with the participation of everyone who cares about this game, a joint contest for the BEST MAP of 2018 is being held! Any map maker can participate in the contest. The main condition is that the map must be at least 32x32 in size and must be new (not a conversion from an old version of the game) and not publicly available. It is welcomed if you specify which mods are recommended for playing the map. Everything else is up to the discretion and imagination of the map makers.

The prize fund is 7000 rubles. Participation in the contest is free. You must submit an application to participate on the STMods.ru website by leaving a comment under this post. The last day to submit a map for the contest is May 3, 2018. Send the map for review and the contest via private message on VK or Discord or any other convenient way either to Mr.BoS (Alexander Zadorin on VK) or Alexey Sinev.

All maps that enter the contest will be tested and played through on the Mr.BoS channel. After playing them, voting will be held on the STMods.ru website and in the Mr.BoS VK group. All votes will be counted and taken into account.

After the voting, all maps will be made publicly available and uploaded by the map authors to the STMods.ru website. The maps will be played under code names (for example 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). The map authors will also be revealed only after the voting to minimize biased voting. We do this to make the voting as objective and fair as possible. Authors who try to campaign during the voting will be disqualified.
The voting period is 1 week after all maps have been played through!

Total prize fund 7000 rubles
1st place - 4000
2nd place - 2000
3rd place - 1000
Additional prize from Mr.BoS - the game ETS2 as a gift at his discretion.

Update 02.04.18:
Voting procedure: depending on the number of participants, we randomly divide them into groups of 4-5 maps. Within a week, we play through (or simply review) all the maps in the group. At the beginning of the next week after reviewing all the maps in the group, a (one-week) vote starts to choose the best map from that group. At the same time, maps from the next group are shown, with voting for them starting at the beginning of the following week, and so on until all maps have been reviewed.
After all maps have been reviewed and group votes held, a final vote is created, with participants being the maps that won their weekly votes. The results of this vote will determine the best map!

We remind you that during the stream of a contest map, no viewer (not even the author) is allowed to reveal either the name or, especially, the author of the map. Otherwise, the map will be excluded from the contest.

Good luck!

Update 03.05.18: submission of works is closed. The first weekly vote starts on Monday.

Update 12.05.18: at the request of voters - maps that made it to the final vote will be made publicly available during the voting period without author attribution, so voters can try out each map before voting.
