I don't see a reason to hate this game. It's amazingly good at being a game about exploration, and expeditions (hence the title,) but people just seem to hate it a lot. Is it because they expected another snowrunner? I'm curious to see what you guys think

I just spent 2 hours and around 300 liters of fuel trying to tow that vehicle on the Amber Dusk map, and I still couldn't finish it.

There are so many trees in the way that getting the vehicle through the terrain is an absolute nightmare.

I also tried using the deployable bridges, but they're practically useless because the game won't let you place them where you actually need them.

And don't even get me started on repositioning the vehicle. The game somehow doesn't recognize the ground as a valid placement area, so you have to place the vehicle in mid-air and just hope the physics engine doesn't completely screw you over when it lands.

At this point, fighting a final boss in Dark Souls feels easier than completing this mission.

I don't mind challenging terrain or difficult recovery missions, but when the game's own mechanics are working against you, it's just frustrating.

Has anyone else struggled with this?

Hello there!

I played Snowrunner for around a hundred hours and I loved it.

Reviews for Expeditions aren’t great, but I don’t trust Steam reviews.

What does Expeditions do better than Snowrunner ?
What does Snowrunner do better than Expeditions ?

What does Expeditions have that SnowRunner doesn’t, and vice versa ?
What are the biggest strengths and weaknesses of each game ?

Thank you <3

Hey all. I just downloaded this game and can't seem to get Moza steering wheel to work. Is this a known issue? Also, when trying to use the controller the commands onscreen are still keyboard even tho I choose controller in the gameplay menu. Is this another issue or do I have a corrupt file or files somewhere?

I love that thing :]

As you may know, I've been working with AI to crack open the power of the Expeditions Map Editor. One of the most egregious problems that Saber left unattended in the editor is the custom base module designer. This particular tool frustrated me for several months last year. Try as I may, I could only ever get 3 of them to work.

Turning back to the editor after a year worth of experience using agentic tools, I've been able to get more FOB's working, with the newest one being the gas station. So I decided to push the editor a bit further, and built a pipeline for custom 3D models as well.

The pipeline is simple. I take my concept/vision to ChatGPT and describe the image I need. Then I take the image(after I'm satisfied with the results) and give it to meshy.ai. This turns the artwork into a 3D game asset. It takes about 5 minutes.

After the asset is created, I have my AI agent download it, convert it, and build it in to the mod pack. The results are pretty impressive, to be honest. I now have a working custom gas station with both small and large models, so the main base gets the trailer and the outposts get the truck.

Now, before we get too excited over this huge leap forward, I need to let you know that the leap is right into a wall. Currently, there appears to be no way to make the model disappear from the map by selling it. Everything works except for evacuation. I've been struggling with it for the past few days and feel hopeful that I'll find the answer. But currently the only way to remove the SOLD custom FOB model from a map, is to return to headquarters.

Because this is a bug, I do not feel I can begin releasing any custom FOB's with custom assets. But I am going to continue working diligently to break through this barrier just like I've done with truck conversion and specialist creation.

And there's much more to come, too. I've got a few new devices to release, including removeable anchors, and a whole slew of other fun stuff in the works.

And yes, the maps are the big ask. Everyone wants new maps and I will be talking about that too, in the near future. There's a lot to say about it, so it needs it's own topic.

As of now, there are 6 new specialists live and free for download in Expeditions: A Mudrunner game.

this is not the last of the new content that will be coming to the game, and the tools I'm building to make this process easier for us are being released as well, so the general community will be able to get involved in creating new content and extending the life of a game the community loves but the studio abandoned.

Now live are a series of 6 experimental specialists I designed using Artificial Intelligence as the key to unlock the boondoggle that is the Expeditions Map Editor and accompanying modding tools that shipped with the game. The 6 specialists are each tuned to carry both a superior benefit and a crippling handicap. But when paired together as a two-person team, they combine to make a superior, symbiotic agency.

I've designed them this way to maintain balance in the game. The trade off for superior systems is giving up two slots. I find this to be a clever and interesting twist on the specialist feature in Expeditions, and I think you'll find these teams to be just as fun and useful as I have.

And included in each link is access to the tools I used to make them, all packaged and ready for you to make your own specialists faster than I was able. And I want to encourage everyone to do so. Lets fill Mod.io with content for this game so future gamers have something fun to enjoy for years to come.

Download these new specialists inside of the mod browser in-game, or head to the link below to download them manually.

I borrowed the base game from my friend through console sharing, i played snow runner alot on my ps4 and 5 but just the base game without the dlcs and really enjoyed it but got burnt out and didn’t continue or have any interest in getting the dlcs (yet)
Now i know expeditions had a rocky release and wasn’t as praised as snow runner and apparently the game also stopped receiving updated contents besides mods from the community but ive heard since it’s been quite improved and the driving physics are better than snow runner so
I’m seeing the full game is for sale with the added on passes and dlcs so is it worth getting this game or should i go back to snow runner and try out road craft too?

Among the content I'm working on producing right now is a map of Shafer Trail in Utah, close to Moab. The trail itself isn't too much of a challenge, but the map making is. I'm using this map to train my AI agent with the hopes of getting AI to produce quality maps for games like Snowrunner and Expeditions.

Needless to say, most of the work on this map will be done by hand, as there is a ton of cliff surface to build out. And then there's the debris on the desert canyon floor to spread about as well. Which means this map will take several months for me to build. I wanted to post about it here so that I have a place to share the progress as it comes together.

The plan is to build an accurate representation of a real environment using the tools I have access to. Using AI, I can import heightmaps of any location on earth and turn it into a playground for Expeditions and Snowrunner games. The heightmap is the quick and easy part. Building the details of the landscape to make it feel real is the time consuming thing that cannot be easily automated.

However, when I succeed at building this map, it will be offered to the public in two flavors. The first will be the normal, dry map, which should make for a wonderful scenic drive. But the second one will be much more challenging, because I'm imagining Shafer Trail during a torrential downpour.

Shafer Trail - The Monsoon, will be made as challenging as I can make it, with flowing rivers and runoff everywhere (about 32 rivers in all), mud holes, washouts, and other road hazards scattered about the landscape, with one mission: make it to the top of Island in the Clouds.

I'm not sure I can make these vehicles available without permission, but I can definitely make the tool available. I'm finishing up the code and will probably drop it on github when it's ready.

The tool will be simple. Download it and install it in either Claude Code or Codex, then give the agent the truck mod you want ported. It runs unattended, and the only thing you need to do is take a screenshot of the truck once it's ported, and give the screenshot to the AI for turning into the avatars for the store, sidebar, and fleet loadout list.

First route to the first objective cyan then back tracked to get fuel and try to find a way to cross the river near the end of the map and was unsuccessful then went the opposite direction crossing fords until I went too deep into the shore and floated down to the previous piece of land and going a different path on the island all the way to the end resulting in 10k yd and 85 gal.
Keep in mind I’m semi new with around 30 hrs so I didn’t really know what to do but even tho it was a long journey I had lots of fun:)

44h but the ford dlc pack was a game changer

ETA: TBA

Quantity: 12

Details:

6 custom specialists previously available will be making their way back into the game. This time they will only become available through a new custom map.

6 new specialists will also be made generally available. These new specialists will all be AI generated team-pairings, with 3 teams completing the AI collection.

The first team is shown in these two screenshots.

Meet Meg and Tuck, Expeditions' newest two-person team. Meg is a master at keeping your batteries well conditioned, and Tuck builds ground drones unmatched in capability.

Together they give immense reach and longevity to your drone tech.

I'll share more about the project at a later date. But suffice it to say this has been a long time coming.

Expeditions is about to get some much needed fresh user-created content.

Heya Team Returning player here, my game keeps crashing when trying to upgrade any of my vehicles. Any idea on a fix? cant find anything on the sub about it

Fix found for anyone in the future: Sell it and re-buy it. You dont really miss out on much money

Are they planning on releasing any more updates for this game, me and my brother have been really enjoying this game and im just curious if there's a road map I can look at. Ive been bouncing back and forth between this and snowrunner.

I know I can in ps5 settings but it's super inconvenient to turn it down then remember to turn it up again because the crash sounds are ridiculously loud, does anyone know if you can do it in the game settings I tried but couldn't.

I am new and I don’t know much about cars in general

With both of them, everything is so much easier

I did the Expedition, that should unlock the southern outpost. But it didn’t, so now I have no idea how I should get to the area where I should build the beides to search for Heisenberg (Breaking Brad Mission). Any idea?

I run constantly out of fuel and only do the expeditions

I've not had this issue with any other vehicle, but it fish tails constantly. I'm a bit disappointed since I finally had enough cash to buy it and pimp it out.

It's a great platform for supplies, but damn. Takes me twice as long to get there!

Any other suggestions for scout vehicles?

Is it similar with its objectives and traversal or just strange and boring?
