Force game save
When you are at a point in the game you want to save, exit to the Main Menu. This saves the current state of the game, and when you force quit the game in case of an accident (see Accident below), the game will start at least from that location.
Accident
When an accident happens and you know the truck cannot recover, like flipping on its side, quickly press Alt-F4 to immediately exit the game. When you restart the game, you can continue from the last automatic save point.
Time of day
It is very challenging to drive hard terrain in the dark. To set the time of day
- Open the map view with the “M” key on the keyboard,
- Press the “T” key on the keyboard to cycle through 0:00, 6:00, 13:00, 20:30.
Selecting the truck
This table contains my findings on the most appropriate truck for the job. As you progress in the game more upgrade options become available, so make sure to try the customization time to time. Mount mud tires when those become available.
| Truck | Purpose | Comments |
| Azov 64131 | Everything | |
| Tayga 6436 | Long logs | |
| ANK MK38 Civilian | Low saddle High saddle Towing trailers | Use the mud tires |
Trailer delivery in tasks and contracts
When a trailer is requested, usually only a specific trailer satisfies the requirements. It can be on a different map, so in that case you have to tow it across the tunnels.
Find the trailer
The correct trailer is marked with the magnifier icon.
- On the Global Map navigate to the map which has the trailer. If not stated, check all unlocked maps to find it.
- On the Objects tab in the Trucks and Trailers section the trailer is marked with a magnifier icon.
- Select it to show it on the map (ouch!)
You need to have the trailer attached or winched to the truck with both the truck and trailer inside the zone for it to count.
Maintenance Trailer
A Maintenance Trailer cannot be empty to be accepted, it needs to have at least 201 liters fuel in it.
