Scorpio 550 Extreme V2.0
Version 2.0.0.0 is almost complete rebuild, verified by TestRunner software to be fully compatible. NOT an “update” of v1.0, game will count it as an independant mode.
So it’s not correct to list changes, here are the Features of v2.0:
– Verified by TestRunner software to be fully compatible.
– Working width: 25.4m
– Working speed: 15 kph
– You can choose the capacity: 4 000 – 500 000 L
– You can choose the speed of discharge (get empty): 1 000 – 10 000 L/second
– You can choose to install plow or not
– You can choose tires and a lot of colours of all parts
The arms are flexible to cover the humpy/bumpy fields. It have visual effects of “Plow” but in fact it acts as “Сhisel cultivator/plow”, so you CAN plough the fields after potatoes or corn (removes the indicator of “plow needed” from your OWN fields), but you can Not create new fields (more real, it’s a stone picker).
PS: same as any “Сhisel cultivator/plow” from the shop – it can NOT remove “plow needed” from field by ingame Contracts.
Same time you can put the Plow UP of Down (standard hotkeys, V on PC) for some small tasks or ending the work, just turn On the device (standard hotkeys, B on PC) and it will Only collect stones if needed. Because the device is already lowered to the standard hight at folding and ready for that (standard hotkeys, X on PC).
Sometimes, if the body is in a really deep pit/hole/low ground (more then 20 degrees Same time of BOTH arms), the arms can go under the ground – just fold it up (standard hotkeys, X on PC) and move to another place.
I see some subtle differences but as someone who uses V1 for everything since it was first released, I would hardly call it a “rebuild.” The animations are slightly cooler when it comes to lifting the plow which I definitely like. What I don’t like is that collisions were added for the arms which for an “unrealistic” machine, adds the most annoying realistic characteristic, so I’m not sure why that was done. It also has to be operated at the design speed which is roughly 7/8 mph. Any faster than that and it leaves behind more rock than it picks up. There are also some slight changes in the overall appearance of it but for me, after an hour of testing, it’s a step backwards to V0.8 versus a leap forward to V2.0. Just my opinion of course but I think I’ll stick with the original.
Oh and another issue I noticed is- the small wheels supporting the arms that are closest to the body, leave behind tire tracks that are 3 times as wide as the tire itself.
