Fuel capacities based on real data v1.2 For Snowrunner

Fuel capacities based on real data v1.2 For Snowrunner

Lesson learned: Never work on two projects at the same time or your thoughts might get mixed up!

– engine durability set back to vanilla, sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to @knightofolde – that downvote you gave me is well deserved 😉
– deleted version 1.1

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. I do understand the general sense of challenge and balance why fuel was integrated into this game as it is right now. However, 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 but then I decided to search for real-life data and changed every single vehicle! =) Also, I changed some of the fuel consumptions, which felt way too high. This should not feel like cheat vehicles, fuel will be used up, 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!

Installation and backup guide:
Make sure, you have WinRAR installed! No installation with subscribing as with all mods around here, that change base game files.

Make sure, you have WinRAR installed! No installation with subscribing as with all mods around here, that change base game files.

Manual installation:

1. Download the file
2. Navigate to the path you have SnowRunner installed to (for me: C:EpicGamesSnowRunner)
3. Follow the folders: en_uspreloadpaksclient (for me: D:EpicGamesSnowRunneren_uspreloadpaksclient)
4. Create a folder called ‘Backup‘ to save your original file.
5. Copy the file ‘initial.pak‘ into that Backup folder. Now you are ready to install the mod!
6. Open the original file ‘initial.pak‘ with WinRAR.
7. Open the mod-file ‘Fuel_capacities_based_on_real_data.zip’ with WinRAR, as well.
8. Now drag and drop the [media]-folder from the mod-zip-file into ‘initial.pak‘.
9. The files in ‘initial.pak‘ will be overwritten.
10. Close everything and you can start playing.
11. 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.
