    I use the Transtar as a vehicle transport/service truck. Keep it on the main roads and use its better fuel economy to move more powerful and thirstier trucks to their area of operations. As well as be a mobile refueling/service point for these trucks.

    It can do BlackRiver-Factory to Drummond Island-Port really well! It can haul stuff in Wisconsin from garage and on both maps via roads. Very good on Alaska roads too North Port to White Valley. Belozersk it can do most road trips on at least three maps. In Ontario very useful on the paved eastern side of the maps. Can do some parts of Don maps, except for the connector between the maps. Needless to say you have to repair all the bridges and roadblocks first before zipping around in this one :)

    According to Wikipedia the 1960 Transtar did have diff-lock, so I wonder why the devs didn’t provide this truck with one.🤔. This is exactly why we use mods. That’s too bad because it’s not a bad truck, you can install a crane/sideboard and attach a trailer. It’s small, it can fit through the most dense forest with ease. Awesome review!!!

    Thanks for yet another review, Nathan! Not gonna lie, I tested this truck when I got it and then kept ignoring it...
    One thing has been bugging me about one frequently mentioned upside: "It's free". True, you don't need to spend money to get a free truck but once you have it, you could sell it. Keeping a free truck means you forfeit the cash you could get for reselling it which is the same as having spent that money in the first place (opportunity cost).
    Trucks sell for half on hard mode, which also halves the opportunity cost. So you might say a "free" truck is actually half price when playing on hard.

    • @NProvince
      @NProvince  2 года назад +1

      Isnt that the beauty of a free truck though? You can keep it or sell for full price or even at half price in hardmode. Thats better than having to purchase a vehicle with needed cash especially in hardmode. Regardless, its adding value to your garage in any scenario just by finding it.

    From someone who’s played the game quite a bit, I feel the Transtar is a little underrated. Yes, it’s not a good truck for every scenario, especially in a off-road game like Snowrunner. However, with the right tire, engine, and transmission upgrades, you can tackle a majority of the main tasks in game. When I got this truck in Michigan, I found that with the right upgrades, it handled its own pretty well. Just so long as you’re not taking it through deep water, mud, and snow. Sounds like a majority of the game play, but when you think about it, it’s not really the case. Most of the time, if you’re getting from point A to B, you’ll need to travel through paved roads, dirt roads, or even rough and rocky terrain. This truck can handle that just fine. Especially when your early on in the game and you need a truck with a decent amount of power to haul a lot of freight to a specific destination but don’t have a ton of money. Certainly until you have the money and have progressed through the game to get better suited trucks.

    @justinlynch3 2 года назад +2

    I think most people don't bother to learn how to drive the RWD trucks or the benefits of using offroad gearbox over highway because you get to repair the AWD Fleetstar literally right at the start of the game.
    Personally I don't think Michigan should of had any AWD except for maybe the Kodiak, which I would hidden stuck in the bog somewhere in Island Lake, not in Black River. Or even if you kept trucks like the White Western in Smithville, then don't have the AWD get unlocked until Alaska.
    Michigan Region should of been about teaching players common sense driving, how to navigate without AWD, the importance of using low range and unlocking upgrades.
    But having the Fleetstar literally right at the starting garage, having the Kodiak found in Black River, andhaving the White Western found in Smithville, it ruins this experience for players. Most players find the Transtar, no AWD, see the GMC has no AWD unless you get the Season 1 DLC, and they just go "Well why do I need any of this when the Fleetstar has AWD" and then just sells them. I bet there is still people out there that sells the Twin-Steer because AWD is DLC locked.
    The average player simply have no need for the Transtar when the Fleetstar exists to ruin the starting balance of the game.
    I guess I can see why it's there though. Saber wanted this game to be more accessible to the casual market not just the hardcore SpinTires/MudRunner players, so they gave us a AWD truck in the Fleetstar right at the very start of the game. It's not the Fleetstar fault it's in the position it's in. And I don't even like the Fleetstar, I still own one just for the sake owning one at this point. But it is a powerful truck, upgraes do come easy for it, and if Saber really did want it in Michigan, it should of been in Island Lake or Drummond Island, not one of the very first trucks you get.
    It really is a shame because the Transtar, Ford CLT9000, and even GMC (without DLC) are better then people think. But players never get to learn this simply because the Fleetstar exists.
    Sadly, Saber side benched having a learning curve in favour for accessibility. But again from a business side, I also get why Saber did that.

      @@NProvince Yeah that would be pretty neat. If hard more actually offered kinda a new experience and was more then just spending more money (I know there is a little bit more to it that), then I might be tempted to start one.
      Right now, at least for me, hard mode doesn't offer enough for me to start a new save.
      But yea I never thought of that, but just by repositioning some vehicles and locking more powerful upgrades until later, that would do a lot for hard mode and actually shake the game up a nice bit.

    • @JL-rj9fl
      @JL-rj9fl 2 года назад

      I agree about the truck balance, and unlocking upgrades later, but not about denying AWD in Michigan. Take the following as constructive criticism of your point. I'll start it off with this:
      Players don't need RWD only trucks to learn about driving in this game.
      This is coming from my experience where I've been there and done that with RWD trucks. I've done the "1-star" runs in Spintires/Mudrunner, and probably more extreme driving in than most players will do. I'm not mentioning this to brag, but more to illustrate that most players are not going to enjoy doing this. It's difficult, and often very tedious. It's highly likely that many of them would give up on the game if they had this type of driving forced upon them.
      Even Nathan in a previous video mentioned he almost gave up on the game because he felt it was too difficult at first (possibly the Paystar video). What I'm getting at is that you need to build a foundation of skills (walk before you run), and trucks like the Fleetstar make that possible for a lot of people new to these games. They are not going to play the game in an extreme way starting out.
      Even if you go back and look at Spintires and Mudrunner, you have AWD trucks available immediately. Even in those games you have to go out of your way to make the game more difficult for yourself. Not even these games expect you to go all in right away.
      I've introduced the game to some new players, friends of mine, recently. They have learned a lot about driving from taking AWD scouts on trails. They learn about how diff lock works, how low gears work, and because the game limits you to highway tires at first, they are forced to use these mechanics (even starting with the Fleetstar). They have grown a lot as players and now have a solid foundation. They even use trucks like the GMC and drive my Ford CLT around.
      I'm glad they made the game more accessible. It means we get more content, get more players, and hopefully additional entries to the series.
      At least one thing we can probably all agree on: the game balance needs work! I do appreciate your perspective, I would love a sort of "more difficult start" mode I could choose. That might be an interesting way to have the best of both worlds so the game doesn't punish new players.
      *Edited to fix spacing issue.
