Fuel System & Manual Gearbox

THIS.
If the fuel options are too complicated then at least, for the love of god, give us manual transmission. That is biggest gripe I have with Snowrunner, the automatic transmission is too stupid it often shifts while climbing which leads to a stall and then back to 1st gear.

I would love to see a manual transmission, shifting with the H-Shifter in Mudrunner was great.

​Even more realistic. I took a truck with a manual transmission, switching to automatic transmission only replacing the node itself!

At least have the high and low transmission modes.

Lets hope we get more than that :D 

Demo says no.

In core every function of the transmission is in the game. I can press a button to go into low mode, press a button for 4WD, press a button for diff locks. But not gonna lie, the way it was handled in mudrunner/snowrunner where you would wiggle the analog stick between the different modes felt cool. Even if it was annoying when the car would stall when you tried to start driving, so you had to shift in the other mode and when the car would move for a bit, you then could shift back into that low mode (or whatever it was which kept the engine stalling). But still, it gave a better machine connection and it felt more like you are enforcing your will onto the machine. Your hard worked shifting (meaning: moving the analog stick) brought the mighty machine to climb that mighty mountain.... But i digress...

So its a simulataion game about world rebuilding with construction vehicles based on the snowrunner engine but basicly have no simulation for said vehicles, except forward and back and its specal functions. you have taken away a core aspects that can makes this type of  game fun, no damage, no gearbox, no fuel and they thought ah people will be happy about this, I hope that these thing will be present in the full relaese as devs it was a core aspect that made snowrunner so popular. Have none of these means you have no challenge when operating the vehicles while driving or preforming jobs through roadcraft maps, the only challnge to be presented right now would be logistics and thats it. its feels way to arcadey for this type of game presented.
