SnowRunner - Fuel Capacities Based on Real Data V1.1
This mod may not be for everybody!
It will change the experience of the game! Some vehicles in SnowRunner have way too little fuel capacity. However, I do understand the general sense of challenge and balance of why fuel was integrated into this game as it is right now. As a single-player and a fan of realism, I couldn’t stand some of the trucks and how they were just not usable, at all without the need for refueling every 10 to 15 minutes. I started changing some trucks I didn’t like, and then I searched for real-life data and changed them all! Also I changed some of the fuel consumptions, which felt way too high. This should not feel like cheat vehicles, but it definitely changes the balance of the game. If you like realistic values, at least on the fuel side, this mod is for you!
If you see anything wrong, please let me know!
This mod works in multiplayer if all players have it installed.
In the following, I’ll provide a little installation and backup guide:
Make sure, you have WinRAR installed! Installing with subscribing won’t work, as with most mods around here.
Manual installation:
Download the file
Navigate to the path you have SnowRunner installed to (for me: C:\EpicGames\SnowRunner)
Follow the folders: \en_us\preload\paks\client (for me: D:\EpicGames\SnowRunner\en_us\preload\paks\client)
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 ‘[media].zip’ with WinRAR, as well.
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: 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.
The following is a list of what I changed. I had trouble finding RL-data for the Kolob 74941, Pacific P16, and Royal BM17. If you know the correct values, please let me know!
