SnowRunner – Tire Selection V1.0.0

Tire Selection V1.0.0 mod for SnowRunner. Do not subscribe to install. Manual Install only. This mod will overwrite any other mods that install to the same files/folders. The purpose of this mod was to allow more of the tire styles to be available on most of the vehicles in game. If you’re like me, there’s probably one or two styles that you enjoy more than others aesthetically (I hate the scout tractor mud tires…) and would like to use them on other trucks as well. I also wanted to add mud tires as an option to more vehicles, since most vehicles IRL aren’t artificially limited in the type of tire they can mount, only by size. This isn’t an “add every tire to every truck” mod, only the tires that might be practical on a given truck (I’m not going to add the Tayga tire to everything or add 70″ tires to everything, things like that). One of the things I wanted was a nice looking mud tire for the Russian trucks and was able to use the Tatarin tire for that, I think it looks good and it’s nice to have both West and East style mud tire options in game. With all that in mind, I made a reasonable attempt to maintain most of the game balance. I would consider this mod to be a good choice for people like me who still want a challenge, as opposed to modding the values to extremes, removing level requirements, and using only the best tires/trucks/etc. This mod should not make the game overly easy in the early game as level requirements are kept for the high-end tires (lvl11 and lvl13 for offroad and mudtires respectively) and all the normal level/exploration unlocks are kept. I did not and will not dramatically change tire friction values, increase lift, add a lift option to trucks that don’t have one be default, or add tires bigger than what comes by default in the game (with few exceptions, within reason). Things like adding mud tires to trucks that did not have them to start with are offset by the large single mud tires having a noticeably narrower wheelbase than the dual offroads, this will result in a vehicle more likely to tip over on uneven terrain, and is consistent with the trucks in game that have both dual offroads and single muds by default. (Paystar for example). I wanted there to be trade offs and compromises to be made. There are two versions in the .zip file: one with just the tire selection mod, and one that incorporates the realistic fuel tank sizes in ElfVierzehn ‘s mod, since they modify the same files. A big shout-out to him for compiling that and allowing others to use it! Thanks man! What Changes: MHS I (Mud Tire, Western style) mud friction increased slightly from 2.0 to 2.2 MHS IV (Mud Tire, Eastern style based on the Tatarin tire mesh) added and mud friction set to 2.2 to match the MHS I Mud Tires with chains: mud friction increased slightly from 1.3 to 1.5 Added Hummer H2 tires (BFG KOs) in several sizes to most scouts, since this is a commercially available tire around the world, added 31/33/35/37s sized according to what the scouts had by default Added Yar Mud tires to most scouts, sized according to what the scouts had by default Added Heavy Double and Heavy Single class Offroad/Mudtires to all of the Highway/Heavy/HeavyDuty/Offroad class trucks that didn’t already have them Adjusted some of the scout suspensions (K1500 and Scout800) to level them a little better, no increase in overall height Some trucks that normally use “medium_double” class tires were quite front high with the OHD/MHS tires on, added an additional raised suspension upgrade to level the vehicle properly with the “heavy_double” and “heavy_single” class tires, this upgrade is locked behind a level requirement equal to the offroad class tires (lvl11) for balance reasons. For OHD/MHS class tires, use the “OHD/MHS Raised Leveled” suspension upgrade for best looking results. Unfortunately I don’t know a good way to add these to the upgrade location exploration unlocks, so the level requirements will have to do. A couple trucks have default raised suspension upgrades but not an option for a bigger tire to put on (Paystar and M916A1 for example) I added a reasonably sized bigger tire option for these trucks, trade-off being a higher CG on trucks that are already very unstable (looking at you Paystar) Adjusted the M916A1 steering responsiveness Freightliner 114SD, 51″ tires now require the raised suspension upgrade Freightliner M916A1, slightly lowered the stock suspension, giving the raised suspension upgrade more reason to be used Adjusted the Cat CT680 suspension to be a little more level, not raised, just leveled (it’s front high by default). The Version with the fuel tanks increase mod, also increases the fuel and repair capacity of maintenance and fuel trailers/frame addons by roughly 2x. Issues: Some trucks that did not normally have the big single mud tires have slight gaps between the wheel and rear axles, Not noticeable with any addon to the frame. Cat CT680 axles slightly mis-aligned with the wheels, also virtually unnoticeable with any frame addon. Install: I’m going to shamelessly copy Elf’s install instructions because they are perfect: Make sure, you have WinRAR installed! No installation with subscribing as with all mods around here, that change base game files. Manual installation: Download the mod file Navigate to the path you have SnowRunner installed to Follow the folders: SnowRunneren_uspreloadpaksclient Create a folder called ‘Backup’ to save your original file. Copy the file ‘initial.pak’ into that Backup folder. Now you are ready to install the mod! Open the original file ‘initial.pak’ with WinRAR. Open the mod-file ‘TireSelectionV1.zip’ with WinRAR, as well. Chose WithFuelTanks or NoFuelTanks version, go into that folder, Now drag and drop the [media]-folder from the mod-zip-file into ‘initial.pak’. The files in ‘initial.pak’ will be overwritten. Close everything and you can start playing. If you don’t like it and want to revert: Navigate back to your installation folder and delete the edited ‘initial.pak’. Then copy the original file from your ‘Backup’-folder, and everything is vanilla again.
