• [p]Zurdan Valley: you will navigate through a small town, work around a metal factory, and haul cargo across agricultural fields, an oil refinery, and warehouses.[/p]
• [p]Landslide Valley: you can restore a monastery and chapels, cross a small village, transport logs from a logging station and a sawmill, and check out an old train station, a sanatorium, and solar farms. [/p]

[p]2️⃣ 2 new trucks with add-ons: [/p]

• [p]Voron G-5352 (Heavy): it lets you transport medium-weight cargo and use frame-mounted add-ons with ease. It can pull semi-trailers, but is not a dedicated tractor unit.[/p]

[p]-> Add-ons: service module, multifunction module, 2-slot sideboard.[/p]

• [p]Jangsu RX600 (Off-Road): It’s an agile 6-wheeler, capable of carrying fuel tanks and service modules, making it the perfect support vehicle for keeping trucks running in tough terrain. It handles light/medium cargo, heavy cargo is tougher. [/p]

[p]-> Add-on: sideboard carrying 2 units of cargo with trailer support.[/p][p] [/p][p]3️⃣Many activities around restoration: [/p]

• [p]Main: You will restore fields for agriculture, construct a modern hotel to boost tourism, and repair historical monastery.[/p]
• [p]Secondary: You can also clear old fields, explore with a seismic vibrator, install water towers, expand factories, build warehouses, deliver supplies, and set up solar power stations.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h2]TRY IT NOW ON THE PUBLIC TEST SERVER ⚙️[/h2][p][/p][p]You can already try Season 17 on our Public Test Server (on Epic Game Store, you just need to own the base game on this platform to access it).[/p][p][/p][p]You can also join our dedicated channel for PTS related discussions on our SnowRunner server over here! [/p][p]Take the PTS role in “# ⁠Channels & Roles” and then, join the discussion in “⁠🗣│sr-pts-discussion”[/p][p]Keep in mind that you will likely encounter bugs on the PTS, since it's a testing environment.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Before we dive in, we would like to apologize for the delay of the update, DLC, and demo. 🙏[/p][p][/p][p]Here’s the recap: we had to revert everything because of save file corruption caused by a bug on one map (Contamination). Not everyone was affected, but the risk meant a full revert was necessary.[/p][p]Good news,  as of this Tuesday, you should all have access to the update, the Timberworks Pack, and the free demo![/p][p][/p][h2]CLOSE-UP: TIMBERWORKS PACK 🌳[/h2][p][/p][p]The new DLC is available and free for all Rebuild Expansion owners. If you don’t own it yet, you can grab it separately here.[/p][p]It brings 3 brand-new vehicles:[/p]

• [p]Don 72 Malamute - Compact, confident, and surprisingly sneaky. Comes with its own trailer and slips through the tightest forest paths for precise hauls.[/p]
• [p]MTK Lesorub 2006 - Your logging workhorse. This tractor has a built-in harvester to fell, trim, and process timber like a pro.[/p]
• [p]Aramatsu Forester Neo Log Forwarder - A true titan of the woods. Grab, carry, and transport logs with ease even the toughest forestry jobs become smooth operations.
