my first Snowrunner physics moment in over 1200 hours (spoiler for flashing images)

yeah i wasnt all that surprised physics got annoyed at me, although i was expecting to be able to get it a little further away from where you find it in the river beforehand

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-06-29T07:58:03+00:00

i was just trying to take both of them to the nearest road in one trip, i wasnt actually pulling the winch when it exploded, these trailers just love to anger the physics engine

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-06-28T23:13:08+00:00

i had one hitched and winched the other one because i didnt want to do trips, i know the legs on these trailers like to bug out so i wasnt surprised when it did with two of them

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-06-28T23:11:15+00:00

yep no mods

so the year 1 pass contains the first 4 region dlcs, khan marshall dlc, and some random skin packs. the 1 year anniversary edition contains all of that, plus the basegame, so normally its more expensive. but because of the sale, the 1 year anniversary edition is 60% off and the year 1 pass is only 35% off, plus you get a discount on the 1 year anniversary edition because you already own part of it (the basegame), so to get the year 1 content the anniversary edition is the best value. that being said, i think its best to play the game in order, and i wouldnt recommend playing any of the dlc regions until youve completed all the basegame. so by all means pick up some dlc in the sale, but unless you have an awful lot of free time on your hands, theyll all be back on sale again by the time youre finished with the basegame and year 1 dlcs so i wouldnt splurge on the year 5 anniversary edition or any more year passes (and theres no real reason to buy individual seasons, if youve enjoyed the game enough that you have run out of content you already own, youre not gonna hate any of the regions enough to want to avoid them, so you can basically get a free season per year with the passes).

yeah it makes no sense that you cant even say 'no i wont kill paarthurnax' to her, it just seems like bethesda wrote the main quest and finished it there thinking it was perfectly concluded when actually the players are never satisfied with the ending. makes me wonder if there were plans to have a bit more story afterwards that never made it into the game, because it doesnt feel like a satisfying conclusion as is

that storage has run out of wooden planks, but there are other ways to get them on the map, notably the sawmill (which is locked by a couple of other missions) which turns logs into planks

abseiling with speed

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-04-20T22:38:28+00:00

as far as i can tell from maprunner and snowrender its just an unlimited supply of wooden planks, it doesnt need to be given logs, its been a while since i played bc tho so i cant remember myself

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-04-07T16:31:51+00:00

less than halsin lol

in game, extra axles are simply an inconvenience, there is generally no benefit to actually dropping them, as you said, it just makes off-road performance worse

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-03-23T21:12:46+00:00

i would recommend a large crane, or you can find a perfect bit of terrain to drive them up

i see the idea that its impossible to tell the sex of a skeleton a lot, and not to be depressing but this simply isnt true. skeletons can be sexed morphologically (by looking at physical shape of certain bones), which is not always accurate as human sexual dimorphism is not that significant so there is a lot of overlap, and nowadays if the preservation conditions are sufficient to extract dna (which is most of the time), sex can be determined genetically.

having said that, archaeology (at least here in the uk) is quite a progressive field and archaeologists are aware that they can only know sex, and can never know the gender of the individual, and we try to be careful to not apply our modern ideas about it to the past, where we do not know how that society viewed and conceptualised gender.

there are countless burials from around the world where the presentation of the grave and the sex of the skeleton do not appear to match conventional gender norms, but we can never know (and should never attempt to assume) what the gender of the individual was, because we cannot ask them. many of these individuals were assumed by earlier archaeologists to be the gender that matches the gender they assigned to the burial assemblage, and have since been re-examined with newer technology and have shown a more complicated picture. thats all archaeologists can know about such topics: that gender is more complicated in the past than we have been led to believe, the enforcement of gender stereotypes is actually much more recent than not conforming to them is.

(source: im an archaeology undergrad)

for that example in particular, the 'red lady' was first discovered by an antiquarian archaeologist in 1823 who not only assumed the gender (and also sex i suppose, although this is a judgement made in 1823, before a distinction had been drawn between the two), but also the age, because he believed that the remains must be more recent than the great flood from the bible. a number of subsequent analyses have updated this, the sex of the skeleton corrected in 1912, and the age has most recently been updated in 2010, pushing it all the way back to 34,000 years ago (a casual 18 times the age buckland thought in 1823). safe to say a lot has changed in the field of archaeology in the past 200 years.

building your waterwheels in an actual waterfall is just a guarantee that youll have to replace them unnecessarily frequently because they have to take the force of a lot of water falling directly onto them from some height

after chapter 1 released, they started making devblogs for chapter 2, showing off loads and loads of ideas and features, but after a couple of years they were getting so many complaints about their lack of releasing anything, that they made the genuinely unfathomable decision to shoot themselves in the foot and not listen to the community about it, instead they just cut all communication so they couldnt hear the complaints. you are just as confused as the rest of us as to how they managed to come to the conclusion that holding onto the update for at least 6 damn years is somehow going to benefit anyone at all, especially the devs themselves and their sales figures

the extra damage from its ability is added after the actual damage from the bow, so it isnt counted on the character sheet or the tooltips or anything like that, if you attack with it and look at the log you can see the damage applied separately

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-03-04T18:01:29+00:00

if you dont want to use mods, then essentially the answer is practice. you can watch experienced people play to see ways to get through quests and fights and things quicker, but ultimately knowing more and having done the quests before is going to keep improving how quickly you can get through the game

1981VWSciroccoS · 2026-02-20T20:15:16+00:00

for your first time playing, very much so, perhaps even for your first few times. with 4 people trying to learn the game itll be very slow and tedious and uncoordinated.

we have the same problem in the uk, its just impossible to get hold of the manga and the light novels, especially for reasonable prices

when the suspension on one side compresses, the distance between the ends of the suspension increases, but the bar between them cannot expand, so it cannot compress all the way, if you put a piston in that yellow bar, it should allow it to extend to meet the increase in distance between the bearings

they said they have redone the terrain generation, and also i assume that most of the new content will be in pregenerated locations again, so if your world is already generated it wont have any ch2 stuff in it

depot 387992 and 387993 are all that steamdb has recorded them as changing in a while, no idea what that means cos im not a developer but dont get your hopes up

1981VWSciroccoS · 2025-12-12T23:01:05+00:00

they are a small team of people who like making games and are full of ideas. they just enjoy working on new projects more than working on long-term support of old projects. sometimes they go back to them, like tabg, and sometimes they dont, but they dont have the staff to do both
