On 26 April 1986, a design flaw exposed during a safety test at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Northern Ukraine caused an explosion and fire that devastated the city of Pripyat and surrounding areas. An initial evacuation was ordered, evacuating approximately 116,000 people and an exclusion zone of 30 kilometres was put in place by the military.
Some years later, unofficial explorers known as stalkers, stumbled across trucks entering the exclusion zone under the guise of salvaging tree’s killed in wildfires. The truth is, healthy pines are being felled in great numbers and are being sold across Europe.
Spintires®: Chernobyl puts you in the hot seat of a Chernobyl logger furnished with brand-new vehicles, the B-157 and B-505. Equipped with a Geiger-counter, avoid the highly radiated areas and locate the logging sites without sustaining too much damage to your vehicle.
Explore the eerie and painstakingly detailed Spintires® representation of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Pripyat, Red Forest, Kupsta Lake and the Duga Radar. Tackle the Chernobyl exclusive Steam Achievements and try to pinpoint the infamous “Claw of Chernobyl”.
BONUS: A new Chernobyl inspired proving ground is also included, with a vehicle testing facility!
Key features

Jump onboard the petrol B-133 or the diesel B-133GYa and play your part in helping restore some of the damages caused by this catastrophic event."

v1.3.7 (beta) now available!
Hello comrades,
Version 1.3.7 is now available on the "public_beta" branch.
There are some significant changes to note with this update. Firstly, we will no longer reset your settings with every update.
Secondly, we have changed the way the game writes to and reads configuration files within the [Spintires/Users/] directory.
Within [Spintires/Users] directory, you will see the following new files.
BaseConfig.xml: this is the new Config.xml file, but it must not be changed. Consider your changes lost if you ignore this warning.
MediaPaths.xml: this file determines where the official Data Sources are found, including DLC if owned.
Config.xml_disabled: generated after the first launch of the game, this file is the old Config.xml file that has been disabled. If you had precious information stored in Config.xml before the update, you can find it back here.
If you have any modifications that you'd like to load into Spintires, then you may create a file called UserMediaPaths.xml within the [Spintires/User] directory. This file will never be removed or altered by Steam or us. The content of UserMediaPaths.xml should follow the same format as in MediaPaths.xml, for example:
We've introduced this new method to prevent issues where the game would not notice installed DLCs. You can also set-up additional asset sources without the risks of losing their configuration with the next update or DLC install.

v1.3.7 also brings support for multiple (DirectInput) peripherals allowing you to use them simultaneously, such as a wheel and gear shifter, or gamepad.
