Additions To HardMode Or NG+

In my time playing Hardmode through 13 Season and Normal 13 Seasons; at a certain point the game feels as if there isn't much of a difference between the two. In the beginning the struggle to maintain was present due to low payments, lack of upgrades, lack of experience, and current vehicle options.

After time I believe Hardmode and Normal start to feel alike aside from vehicles in the store being way to inflated in price per performance. 

Currently HardMode feels as if its more centered ono a Logistical approach to the game. Players can plan and take extra streps to prevent  losing money. However, for a mode named "HardMode" I dont feel that it is Hard. 

I would propose adding an unpgrade randomizer found in the video linked below. I also would propose making it harder to level up in some capacity so that the max tires arent achieved so early in the game. Tire upgrades are essentially one of the strongest upgrades in SR. In that said link, NakedDave implemented those two ideas into one.

After playing this mode it made the game of SnowRunner feel almost as if it was a brand new experience. I had to strategize and use vehicles that recieved upgrades rather than the normal progression that is chronological in SnowRunner. Rather than use the almost fully upgraded Fleetstar, then transitioning to the White Western Star 4964;  The upgrades found (AWD upgrade Kodiak C70 in SmithVille Dam)  led me to use that truck as a workhorse. This mode challenged me far more than HardMode due to using proper techniques with lesser trucks, upgrades, and tires to claw my way through the journey.  While receiving a crucial upgrade for the Kodiak, the truck itself as we know isnt not on the same level as the WWS 4964 in terms of being a workhorse. Even so navigating  & hauling heavy cargo on a 4x4 with highway tires still posed challenges especially with a base engine and highway tires. In this way the game starts to feel difficult yet rewarding as the days when SnowRunner first launched in 2020. 

I beleive this could be an option to either add to HardMode or NG+ to further give SnowRunner Replay Value IF More Seasons are not planned.
