Opening the Proving Ground

The "Proving Ground" maps are specifically intended for creating and testing vehicle mods.

TIP: In Expeditions, there are two ways of openining it, see below.

In Both Games

To open one of these maps, in Expeditions or SnowRunner:

  1. Open the game.

  2. Proceed to MOD BROWSER in the main menu.

  3. If you have not linked a mod.io account to the game yet, then you will see the AUTHENTICATION dialog at this step. In this case, please, perform authentication as described in Registration and Authentication.

  4. While being in the MOD BROWSER, click More in the lower right corner of the screen.

  5. In the appearing More Options dialog, select the Select Map option.

  6. In the appearing PROVING GROUNDS dialog, select the necessary "Proving Ground" map:

    • For Expeditions, select Start polygon.
    • For SnowRunner, select SUMMER PROVING GROUNDS (summer setting) or WINTER PROVING GROUNDS (winter setting).

  7. After a short loading screen, you will be spawned on a selected map with the opened TOOLS menu at the upper right corner of the screen.

This TOOLS menu you will need to convert, spawn, and pack your mod. And, you can create a sample mod using it.

In Expeditions (NEW)

In Expeditions, along with the procedure described above, the Proving Grounds map can be opened directly from the Mods Region.

To open it this way:

  1. From either a new game or a loaded game, open REGION SELECTION screen.

  2. Select Mods Region > Proving Grounds (at the top of the screen) > Proving Grounds map.
