- v1.7.1 now available! - 6 January 2021
We've just uploaded to Steam v1.7.1 containing the following: - Added 4 additional achievements for China DLC (obtain 10 & 20 rice and metal pipe delivery points) - bugfix: some translations started with "/" - bugfix: the towed vehicle will no longer attempt to start when they are out of fuel, fully damaged, or deep enough in the water to take damage. - bugfix: the loose load spawner was checking for overlaps between would-be loose loads and plants that can't collide with loads, throwing a "something blocks area" error. - kiosks, load areas and objectives on proving grounds now serve and accept all cargo - raised pipe on loose pipe mesh so that it sits above y=0. This allows spawning it on the base game kiosks - minor optimisation: reduced the number of calls to SPINTIRES:IsOnProvingGround() - bugfix: extra space at bottom of objective locator itself could not be deposited in proving gr…
- Hotfix pushed to Steam - 16 December 2020

- v1.5.0 Update & Vehicle Pack DLC now available! - 19 June 2020
Hello comrades, Before I go into the nitty-gritty details of the v1.5.0 update, I'd like to announce that the free Vehicle Pack DLC is now available on Steam! It contains a bunch of trucks and for the first time in Spintires officially, a tractor! So let's go into a bit more detail about each vehicle: C-509 This truck was built primarily for one purpose, and that's to haul massive logs or trailers. Surprisingly, despite the fact it only a four-wheeler, it's a capable truck, likely down to the fact it has AWD, lifted suspension and it's sharing the same diesel powerplant found in the C-4320. B-500 The little sister of the C-509 you could say. Suited more for civilized terrain surfaces, but still capable offroad nonetheless, especially when equipt with offroad tires on the rear. This truck has more attachments available than its bigger sister, so with it, you can unlock garages or offer r…

- Clash of Fans: Spintires and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales - 18 May 2020
Hello and welcome to the first of our Clash of Fans write-ups . This week we'll be getting together in pairs (virtually) and forcing each other to play a beloved game. Then we'll chat about what we made of it all. First up is Spintires and Thronebreaker! Chris: I have sort of fallen off of collectible card games over the last few years, and in the back of my mind I think they've all become variations on Hearthstone. This is wrong, obviously, but it's taken Thronebreaker to remind me of that. For the first ten minutes I was filtering everything through the question of - how does Hearthstone handle this? But very quickly that ceases to be meaningful. A few initial observations - there is so much here beyond the cards. The overworld map, the resources and all that jazz, the camps. And the writing. God, so much storytelling all over the place. I am a story-skipper by nature, and you can jus…

Fixes - Chernobyl DLC: Various map fixes. - Chernobyl DLC: Missing files. - Chernobyl DLC: 505 now spawns with flatbed. - Fixed engine braking wheels despite clutch bein…
- Spintires' new Chernobyl DLC is like STALKER with trucks - 10 January 2020
Spintires is a sim so niche it makes Munich Bus Simulator look mainstream. It's a game about navigating old Soviet trucks across muddy, waterlogged terrain, and it's kinda brilliant—a gruelling battle against nature where you try and heave a stubborn lump of metal through the sludge, wheels churning, engine wheezing, belching black smoke into the grey sky. But for someone on the Spintires dev team, this wasn't quite bleak enough. It needed to be bleaker . Cue the game's recently released Chernobyl DLC, which dumps you in a radiation-poisoned chunk of Ukraine that includes parts of the city of Pripyat, a load of mud trails and forests, and the reactor itself. You play as a logger—one of many who have travelled to the exclusion zone to harvest its wood, according to what I will generously refer to as the DLC's story. Your job is ferrying increasingly…
