My own Rules:
- NO ENGINE OR GEARBOX TWEAKS!
- Subscribable
- not completely OP and not completely unimaginable
Usually, I add weight to vehicles to improve driving stability and modify suspensions to feel not as floppy.
In all cases except twinsteer (too weak with loaded trailers) i leave the vanilla engines - they have to haul more weight so increased fuel demand can lead to a bigger fuel tank.
The added weight allows big mudtires without getting out of hand performance. The Hummer Snowrunner.mod.io got a new gearbox "cross country". It is my only gearbox ever made.
If you compare with vanillas, always keep loadstar / ANK / Tayga performance in mind.
Currently included:
(as of now, only .xml edits, i'm working at importing self-modeled addons. Modeling in engineering software, exporting as STL, editing in blender/texturing/importing is quite time consuming, but im at the right way and got the first working flatbed. Ugly textured, but... working. The only problem is this thing i am doing Mo-Fr..
- short flatbed added to most trucks unlocking loading crane + trailer combos. [loading crane + short flatbed + trailer = legit] F750 flatbed for vanilla trucks as low saddle replacement.
- Truck: Azov 5319 FR (improved for own use in russia, lift kit, tires, addons, steering, feeling, AWD switchable) my Go-To heavy offroader
- Truck: ZiKZ FR (better fitting small Addons and tire variants including offset corrections, scout trailer hitch) as a "Loadstar alternative", my Go-To weasel (Standalone: Snowrunner.mod.io)
- Truck: Voron Grad FR (small bed/US crane unlocked trailer, suspension added, AWD, steering finetuned) Used for: offroad recovery - when things got bad
- Trailers: scout flatbed offroad variants for ZikZ FR with 20L fuel and 50 repair in that front box (1 and 2 slot), smoothed fuel tank trailer. All 3 as scout and truck variant designed for ZikZ FR and F750/TUZ/Warthog - there are offroad trailers already, but... i was not satisfied with the suspension setting.
- "The Beast" 30.000l heavy tank with 40tons, you will need your best truck and struggle at .... all. Heavy, likes to flip, hard to recover. Not really suited for offroad use, barely usable on main routes. Non-forgiving.
- Trailer: medium fuel semitrailer with 5500L fuel and more weight. (onroad)
- non documented easter-eggs (look into changelog, eg. Service addon matching colors (some))
FR = FreightRush Inc. Ltd. Co. AG
i am open for additional improvements and look forward into including them. Subscribable is a must, small, less OP/more cargo hauling focused. Just post below.
Multiplayer tested, thanks to snowrunner discord^^

Wonderful, thank you very very much! ZikZ Now with autonomous winch and even the TOI tires. Better than Unipog mod! This performance is like Unimog in real life.

I hoped that VORON GRAD already had the custom painting in this last update. 😐
2
Voron Grad became a painting? I've missed that completely. On list for next update (maybe in May). Cheers!
Edited, will be fixed in next Update. + a new military addon combo

Have you considered adding the 3 slot flatbed to some trucks? I think it would fit well on the Azov 73210, Azov 5319, Pacific P12, and probably a few more. Some might even have enough space left over for a mini crane or spare wheel, at your discretion of course.
2
Yes. 73210 and P12 for sure, 5319 looked awkward and trailer hitch got blocked. I'm looking for a nice walkaround solution to unlock those addons without making truck-clones. As of now, i stopped working at this mod in hope for a console recheck... if recheck-cycles take this long, i'll split into "trucklife stable" for consoles and "trucklife test" for PC...

Love this pack wish it would reappare on consoles.
2
i really like the heavier trailer mods! seems like alot of the trucks and trailers in this game are lighter than they should be! i cant wait until they release the hard mode without the recover option!
2
I’ve been waiting two weeks for this to come back to consoles. Update one log add on and this long to “check” it. C’mon Saber! Lol it’s xofroggy’s fault they have to manually check updates now.
3
same for me ;) I've suspended my logging tasks and waiting for this update to come BACK to consoles!!
3
I’ve done all the logging in all regions on both my saves. Lmao! It’s nonsense how long it’s taking them to check a logging add on.
1
Can you add the 3 slot sideboard bed and flatbed to azov 5319? I think the truck is just long enough to make it a reasonable addon.
2
I'll take a look. At first step, i fixed medium log addon and updated the 3 trucks (azov/voron/zikz) into phase 3 (logging stuff, decals) without changing anything else. Update-cycle is quite slow with rechecks pending for consoleros.... Should i split into "testing" and "stable" branch?
1
Hello fellow truckers! Any news on the medium log addon? Any problems (beside logs spawning mid-air, thats not fixable atm)? This was no low effort rescue, i created a new medium logs file repairing missing params and re-declared the cat addon. Weight, sounds, wiggle and mesh collision are also changed. There is no need for "Free the logs" mod but it seems to be compatible. I'm currently hoping this patch will get approved by devs...
1
Yes, updated. Additionally: Azov5319 with loglift and long log ability.
2
You have to update the mod so that the cat's yellow log transporter is functional and can be loaded automatically or manually because now it does not work to use it in the other trucks
3
I'm into updating all for Phase3 soon, built a new PC and currently i'm restoring software and data ;-)
7
many thanks for the update in advance ;) nicomorenov8 is right. Indeed the cat log carrier does not work at all as your mod was released before phase3 (maybe the reason). Looking forward for your corrections which will make the game much better - official phase 3 only allows medium logs in that bloody trailer and the cat 745g, nothing else :(
Also on consoles please :D
3
I... struggle to make it work. Won't load logs somehow. Maybe i'm too sleepy to see the obvious solution. Not a "5min fix" for me... strange workaround from devs^^
1
I don't know if that one will come to consoles but you can find inspiration in there ;)
Snowrunner.mod.io
1
I'm sure you will find the solution. I remember to have seen someone explaining what to insert in the XML to get it working (https://forums.focus-home.com/). But for sure, this isn't impossible as some guys achevied it on some modded trucks but your mod is better as it applies to all trucks :)

done
