In this guide, you will find 12 different things that Spintires did better than Snowrunner.
Night Time:
The Nights are very dark, but there is a bright aurora in cold regions. Glowing flowers at Night, the night time looks very beautiful in spintires.
Better sounds.
There are better Mud sound, Non Existing Mud Sound and Muddy & Squishy sound.
Such sounds are negligible, some sound is there but it’s not squishy or muddy. The tree/wood break sound, missing tree break sound. Wooden sticks, etc are also absent in snowrunner roads. The plants snapping sound is not as good as spintires.
Authentic Trucks.

Original:MAZ 500
Modified: ZikZ5368

Cargo Loading.
Spintires uses the same loading system for all 3 cargo types.
Logs can split into 4 pieces, pipes get split into 3, and the rice bags split into 4. This crane is not suitable for such cargo but it works.
The Snowrunner loading system is a mix of old & new methods.
Logs use the old split and pack method, and the rest of the cargo uses a new system.
In the new loading system, the cargo comes pre packed.
This crane would’ve been suitable with old split cargo.

More Winch Functions.
Winch has many functions, you can steer left/right toggle engine/pull mode. Snowrunner winch has only engine/pull mode.
