☃️Hey snow fans!❄️🌨️
For the past few months, you have helped us by completing the survey for Snow Plowing. We are extremely grateful to you! We must admit that the results were surprising to us - but only in the positive sense. 227 responses to such a detailed survey and your activity in the open questions - we are very impressed by your activity and helpːsteamhappyː THANK YOU❗️❤️So what do you say about starting the analysis? Let's go❗️
1.Game system📶
The majority of players are against solutions that can hinder gameplay. This is why we choose not to introduce the possibility of carrying a single tool⛔️
⬇️
By the same token, we are abandoning thieves in gameplay⛔️
⬇️
As for the issue of owning your own home - we will consider introducing this. The feedback is rather neutral/positive✅
⬇️
The next question was open for your completion (question related to the previous). We are inserting a link for you to view the answers for yourself:

According to our analysis, what you expect most in home is: a resting place, the possibility to personalise your home, food storage with tools and vehicles, but also new mechanics like a weather forecast on TV.
This sounds very cool :) Before the introduction, we will analyse all the answers again to select the most important aspects.
⬇️
The idea of running a company caused mixed feelings. Some people are in favour, some are not. We are sceptical about this solution and will probably not introduce it ⚠️
As a curiosity, you can check your answers about running a business:

⬇️⛷️🏂
In the ski resort question, on the other hand, you were very much in agreement - the majority of you are in favour of the idea. In that case, we can confirm to you - we will introduce such an update!🎿✅
⬇️👽
You are also rather in favour of introducing more plot threads. Therefore - this is what we will do!👾🛰️✅
2.🛠️New items to buy📞
In the tools section - we'll definitely let go of the flamethrower, but probably also the camera or radio - it's not a priority for you⛔️
We will definitely introduce a salt and sand spreader! So will navigation and mobile phone✅
The other things we are in favour of, while we prioritise the things that are most on the very important/important
⬇️
You are most in favour of new vehicles and new ploughs. Then that's the direction we'll be going in!✅
More details can be found in the open questions at the link I pasted above.
3.🚞Vehicles🚗
You care most about manoeuvrability and vehicle suspension. I include the question as a curiosity because after the last January update the driving has been fixed!🔧 We will think about other things like colour change and changing speed.
There are also open questions in the survey, which I recommend reading. You point out, among other things, support for controllers and steering wheels - we promise to introduce this in next months!🕹️
⬇️🚜🛤️
And here's a surprise for you - the trailer will be introduced for an update in March!
⬇️
Collision of vehicles and refueling vehicles is unlikely to be introduced⛔️
⬇️
We will consider the introduction of expensive teleports to reduce the time it takes to move between locations. We are keen not to knock you out of the immersion experience, so either expensive💸 or not at all⛔️
The rest of your opinions from the open question are in the survey. You focus on improving driving physics (this has already been fixed), increasing warning lights, more vehicles and customisation, also criticising teleports and wanting to introduce GPS.
4.🔩Technicalities⚙️
You are in favour of introducing multiple save slots, but also of adding achivements. In addition, you want to fix the appearance of snow, which is still sometimes buggy🛠️
⬇️
In addition, we intend to introduce the possibility of using a pad, as I mentioned earlier. You also care about further improving performance↗️
⬇️
In the last section of the open-text question you focus on:
- the possibility of viewing the aurora borealis, constellations
- additional activities such as rescuing cars from snowdrifts, clearing snow from railway tracks
- different types of snow such as powder, ice and slush
- more NPCs, better sound
- possibility to work with AI, more NPCs
- introduction of additional statistics
- more artefacts, finds, easter-eggs
- Steam Deck configuration
