Things that annoy me in RoadCraft.

In order from most annoying to least annoying.

(1) Impossible to toggle Low Gear when a vehicle is inside of an interaction box of a road construction request or building. Instead of press to interact make it hold to interact.

(2) Tree shadows pop-in like 5 meters in front of you as you drive (Series X - performance mode) and they are very dark which can make it hard to see during road construction. I would like to be able to toggle shadows on and off.

(3) Accidentally opening a road construction request menu when quickly switching grader modes while using dozers. Same suggestion as before, instead of press to interact make it hold to interact.

(4) Boom Forward being bound to LB / RB on stationary grab cranes. The result is jerky movement and dropping stuff. Change Boom Forward controls to LS up / down on stationary grab cranes.

(5) MTK Proseka 200 range of articulation is extremely limited resulting in a very wide turning radius. Improve the range of articulation so the turning radius isn’t so abysmal.

(6) Many vehicles go faster in reverse when Low Gear is toggled ON for some strange reason. Shouldn’t the top speed in reverse be slower when Low Gear is toggled ON?

(7) Cargo straps don’t visually go around damaged rusty pipes. Fix the bug.

(8) When you deliver resources to build a bridge there’s a pop-up message for every unit delivered resulting in multiple pop-ups instead of a single pop-up message specifying the number of units delivered.

RC is superior to SR in many ways.

Aside from the obvious things like the ability to dramatically improve roads, construct bridges and drive machines with tracks instead of wheels…

I find vehicle suspension performs more realistically in RC with significantly less crazy rebound leading to bouncing front axles lifting off the ground which is common in SR.

The strapped cargo system in RC is way better than the packed cargo system in SR. Overloading is 100% legitimate. You feel the weight of your cargo and the strain it puts on your trucks engine.

Tire grip on asphalt roads is much better in RC than it is in SR. Rear axles aren’t sliding out at high speeds.

Cranes feel stronger and anchors are more stable. You can attach to an object with four points of contact making it easier to keep it level when lifting.

Switchable diff. lock isn’t limited to low gears.

Kelly.

That’s pretty much everything I’ve noticed so far in my 5 hours of playing the game. How else is RC better than SR?

My first road!

Picked up RoadCraft Anniversary Edition on sale recently and I just got done paving my first road. I’m having fun but fair warning if you’re a perfectionist this game might drive you a little crazy. And if you’re coming from SnowRunner be prepared for an adjustment when it comes to crane controls. I cannot tell you how many times I tried to use my left stick and I end up steering my truck instead of moving my crane. Oh yeah and after the game changed my double lane road into a single I went back and paved it again so it’s back to being two lanes. Crazy to think you can automate road building in a game about road building. Why would anyone want to do that? I would rather be able to plot custom routes to have AI drivers be able to drive one of my vehicles from one location to another. That would be sick. And I hope we can use excavators in a future DLC.

The races are pure cancer on controller and armageddons are a let down.

You want me to constantly juggle between holding A for jetpack, B for S.K.A.T.E. and tapping B for dash while also tracking the drone with the right stick all with my right thumb. And the cherry on top is how tight the tolerance is for a 3 star win with races. It’s by far the most frustrating part of the game.

The armageddon challenges are a let down because it’s less about destroying everything in sight and more about draining the highlighted targets if you want three stars. BORING!

I want to see the developers three star all of the races on controller in a livestream. Maybe then they would realize the difficulty is a little ridiculous.
