• [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]
