October Winners - Mod Creator Awards

[h2]Hello Runners![/h2]

We have another list of awesome new mods to share with you! Our developers made their choice and here’s the 3 winners of this month!
They’re divided in the 3 following categories:

  1. Best New Map: The new map that our devs liked the most.Their choice is based on the map design, including tasks, missions, flow, and how it feels to play. Also based on the most impressive, detailed, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
  2. Best New Vehicle: The devs will pick a recent mod which has the most impressive model to them. It also includes what stands out to them in terms of being satisfying to drive, be it due to authenticity or just plain fun.
  3. Best Tractor: With Season 8 focused on farming, what would have been more fitting than a “Best Tractor” award?

Time to discover who are the winners of October!

[h2]Farm-tober![/h2]
Season 8: Grand Harvest is now live on Steam! Hope you’re all having fun farming the fields of Belozersk Glades!
We did not only add Season 8 content, we also made some slight changes to the Western Star vehicles, based on your feedback! We’re always looking to improve SnowRunner, so your reaction is incredibly valuable to us. We’re happy to read your thoughts on the game, so keep sharing them with us!
You can find the full Season 8 patch notes here: Season 8 Patch notes

Please note in case you missed it, we deployed the 19.1 update last week. It fixes various issues that appeared with the launch of season 8, including a bug that turned hard mode saves into normal mode saves. We’re deeply sorry for the inconvenience, and for the stress that you might have experienced due to a potential loss of a save.

The complete 19.1 patch notes is available here: Patch 19.1
