Forest Machinery DLC Update

We are also happy to share that the Forest Machinery DLC will be receiving a free update with the release of Arkansas. With its many forestry and logging related industries, these companies often require lots of heavy duty equipment and vehicles, one of which we are excited to bring as a new cargo in this DLC!

Introducing the Forestry Skidder, 
a specialized machine used in logging operations to transport felled trees from the cutting site to a central location for processing or loading. It typically drags logs across the forest floor, either using a cable system or a grapple claw to secure the logs. Skidders are essential for efficiently moving timber, especially in rough or uneven terrain, and help streamline the process of harvesting trees in large-scale logging operations.

That's not all however, as owners of this DLC will also be able to enjoy some cabin accessories from our in-game brand 'OWL' for their truck cab! Including protective Ear Muffs, a mug and a road-sign themed hanging cabin item! We hope DLC owners enjoy hauling this heavy duty machine across Arkansas and beyond with this free update.

Arkan-saw Bundle
