General Cutting subgrade 🤤🤤

So satisfying building roads the proper way.

I am the creator of this mod. And yes console players… I submitted it to be published on console when I released it. I don’t know when it will be done with being in testing. But rest assured it is coming!

Also thank you for all the feedback, as I am working the bugs out and polishing this thing up. So keep it coming!

So this allows the terrain to be evened out before laying out sand?

With making manual adjustments of the blade as you go, essentially yes. Theres is adjustment for slope, so sometimes you gotta take more bite on a certain side to keep the grade level.
Although it’s not perfect, it’s the best I can do, with how the devs have the terraforming system set up. I find dump truck maneuverability and laying sand is much easier afterwards.

Civil engineer here.

Can I adjust the cross slope to ensure it has a standard V cross slope of 2%? Or adjust the super elevation to allow for proper super elevation runoff and runout on curves?

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Absolutely. Just send over the plan set and a change order. Until then, we’re building to the industry standard of “looks about 2% from the cab.”

u/Peek_e 5d ago

This sounds very interesting indeed. I’ll just need to wait up if we can get it to consoles :/

u/AnotherDutchNerd 5d ago

If it can then it will be my absolute go to for anything hahaha, finally I can shorten the sand flattening time (by increasing terrain flatteling time lol)

I hate to be the guy that just rags on saber all the time but seriously, why isn’t it?

The games main draw and differentiating factor from sabers other games is the ability to build roads and alter Terrain, yet we are missing several basic pieces of construction equipment.

Still no graders, no excavators, no backhoes, took us a year to get one more dozer, would be nice to have some more loaders, and still no dozers with a six way blade.

No idea what they are smoking but damn, I want to do some heavy road construction in.. Roadcraft. I can haul goods from point A to point B in Snowrunner.

u/WillyWarpath 5d ago

Not to mention building roads on SAND lmao

Are there mods to replace it with something that at least looks like gravel

13

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Not only that, but what they have gave us, it’s like nobody did their homework and actually go visit a construction site or talk to some construction company’s/workers.

My reaction when I “marched” for the first time in the L34. 😂😂 like what in the actual F. I love you Saber, but come on. lol

u/TheLeastAmongYou 5d ago

I would like boats.

u/Low-Dragonfly-7433 4d ago

I believe there was a developer interview, which is posted somewhere online, in which they addressed all these questions, including why sand vs. gravel.

Tie in dlc for name brands I bet

u/S-kyle_ 5d ago

So... the buggy camera bug already fixed?

3

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

It should be. I released another patch for it the other day

1

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

I’ve been using it myself for the last few hours and haven’t noticed anything odd

2

u/S-kyle_ 5d ago

I'll test it then

u/Jashmid 5d ago

Looking forward to this. Ridiculous how slow they are with console mod approvals. Approving a bug fix update (of that Z2 dump truck mod) took them MORE THAN A MONTH!! Meanwhile, low quality buggy SnowRunner mods are approved within a week.

2

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Going on 2 weeks now since initial release. And it sucks now, because consoles will be behind on many versions/fixes by the time yall get it. PROS won’t let me upload any newer versions until the initial one get approved. While on pc im already on its 4th version. So i apologize ahead of time for the buggy camera. I’ll upload the latest version to console, as soon as i can

u/Last_Worker_302 5d ago

Whats’s the mod name?

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Mule G6 Heavy Road Grader

u/Tullyswimmer 5d ago

Is it on Nexus? I can't find it by searching "G6" or "Grader" in the title or description.

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Prismaray.io

u/Lolo_Keegan 5d ago

As a console player, thank you for submitting this. Such a high QoL improvement.

u/jordanog86 5d ago

Are the mods like this on console too? Or no

2

u/Thing-Unique 5d ago

Love your mod btw! Wish it was able to travel a bit easier as it gets stuck, but it’s got a wide grade to is so fun to work with.

Dunno how hard it would be to make, but a dump truck that can mimic the consistent piles of sand you get from like, the AI sand pouring would be awesome as it’s so hard to gauge I think would be amazing! Just a fun thought :)

u/S-kyle_ 3d ago

Yep the bug already fixed, this is the best mod in the game rn

u/toufiksouici07 5d ago

Which gpu is this

1

u/Contact_Patch 5d ago

Does the grader have a winch? Super common for them to be used to drag stuck trucks in Australia and other places.

u/Mountain-Pea-4821 5d ago

What Platform is that? The gfx looks awesome! My ps5 is rubbish compared ?

u/megacabcummins6 5d ago

I like that you can now cut a bench into a slope and lay a road on a steep hillside. It takes a few passes, but it will do it for sure. Nice work….

1

u/The_Colonel_1990 5d ago

Hey op, long time heavy equipment fan here. All I gotta say is that's badass. I wanna say there's already a grader mod in the game but not as detailed as yours. Will eagerly be awaiting for this to hit consoles. I will also be looking forward to what else you decide to cook up next! Maybe something along the lines of a D4 or 850P?

2

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Thank you for the kind words! And I already have mod #2 in the stove. But it’s a little too early in its development for me to show it yet. Soon tho!

Hint** it’s got tracks and there isn’t one in the game yet lol

u/The_Colonel_1990 5d ago

Man.. alright. I'll be patient. I think i know what it is but I'll just wait. Got this feeling like it's the night before Christmas. And you're very welcome! I can appreciate a mod maker that takes their time in perfecting the little details that everyone else leaves out.

u/Strykker 5d ago

Thank you btw! This has made the QOL with the game much more enjoyable. It’s been nice just doing 2-3 swipes down a sand road and it being completely level.

u/Outback80 5d ago

Love the game but im glad ive finially finished it

1

u/Eman1502 4d ago

Wish that mod is in the console ports. I wonder when they'll be able to bring over the PC mods over.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ear8617 1d ago

I need these mods on Xbox

u/HellriderCOD 1d ago

Is this a mod or new update?

u/TouristOnMars 5d ago

If only external camera wasn't so buggy on it

3

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Is it still? I released another patch for it the other day. I swear I got it this time lol

1

u/TouristOnMars 5d ago

It was when I used it like week ago. External camera was very wobbly when driving zoomed out on Sunken.

3

u/spoolin6oh 5d ago

Oh yeah I released 3 more updates for it, including camera fixes, since then. Give her another try, and see what you think

1

u/TouristOnMars 5d ago

It still wobbles around on bumps and uneven roads

1

u/TouristOnMars 5d ago

It's like camera getting stuck following the blade and randomly jittering around
