How to unlock the Once a Farmer always a Farmer achievement in SnowRunner - Definitive Guide

This is a very easy achievement once you know where to find the pumpkins.

Go to the Drowned Lands map in the Taymyr region. If this is your first time in the area, finding the watchtower to the south of the garage is ideal. Just to the east of the Factory is a small village located in between two lakes. At the northern end of the village, there is a house with 50 - 60 pumpkins in its yard.

(Check the following spoiler tags for screenshots of map and house)


Now, you must simply drive into the yard and smash all of the pumpkins. Once complete, drive back out on to the street, then save and quit and continue once back in the menu. Once you have loaded back in, all of the pumpkins will have respawned. Simply rinse and repeat until the achievement unlocks. Each run should net you 10 - 12% progress, so it will only take 9 - 10 runs.

Edit with information from the comments:
From xStupid Zombiex: There is another house directly south of the first one with pumpkins in its yard, this means that you can get about 20% per run. Additionally, there are more houses on the road east of the fuel station/ south-east of the factory with more pumpkins.
From Colossos8008: You may also need to completely quit and restart the game in order for the pumpkins to respawn. Another guide for this achievement mentioned reloading the game in co-op mode for the pumpkins to respawn.
From X30 Trucase: You may need to exit out of the game while facing away from the pumpkins for them to respawn once you reload the game.
From TonySki: "I can recommend a faster way. Drive your truck away from the farms about 100 meters or so and re-aim at the farm. Load into another vehicle on another map. then load back. I was jumping back and forth from the farm at Smithfield Dam and the one in Russia."

Enjoy your achievement, hopefully you had a smashing time earning it!

Thanks for the location. Also you can double the speed of this because if you go to the house next door, it also has a pumpkin garden. I only had to do 5 or so runs and was getting about 21% per

I fully agree both of you, the location is great, because there are two pumpkin fields directly side by side. If you do both, progress will be around 23-24% per run.
After that you have to drive out of the fields, go back to the main menu (save) and (in my case) also have to restart the game completely. So if everything went well, you need at least 5 runs to unlock this achievement.

I was told that, after squashing all pumpkins, you must face your truck away from the pumpkins before reloading the map. To check back, switch to the cockpit view to ensure you don't see the pumpkins.
It was reported that, if done incorrectly, the pumpkins won't respawn so you'd have to leave the game completely.

I can recommend a faster way. Drive your truck away from the farms about 100 meters or so and re-aim at the farm. Load into another vehicle on another map. then load back. I was jumping back and forth from the farm at Smithfield Dam and the one in Russia.

I found it easiest simply to load in in singleplayer, smash some pumpkins, then load in coop. Rinse/repeat. You don't even have to drive away from the pumpkins for them to respawn.

I used @bobaaganoosh's suggestion. It worked out pretty well. The only thing that I would edit I would suggest is to drive out of the yard before switching to/from co-op.

@SergeGTS: I'm glad that Bobaaganoosh's method worked for you, but if you were still driving out of the yard before switching why not just load in to single player every time, rather than spending the time starting a co-op lobby?

It seems that TonySki's suggestion is probably the best, if you have a truck able to smash pumpkins on 2 maps then swapping between the two is probably faster than quitting and reloading every time, it just depends on how much time you are willing to spend on setting the trucks into position.

@xStupid Zombiex: Thanks for the extra info, I will update the guide accordingly. I also noticed that some of the houses to the east of the fuel station have pumpkins, so there are certainly plenty of places to find pumpkins.

@Colossos8008: I did mention driving out of the field in the guide, the second screenshot shows the location of where I would park when I quit and reloaded. It's interesting that you needed to completely restart the game, the other guide mentioned loading the game into co-op mode for the pumpkins to respawn, I only ever needed to press Continue in the menu, I'll update the guide with this information in case anyone else has trouble.

@X30 Trucase: Some people may have had to do that, all I did was reverse out of the field back on to the street, in 3rd person view the whole time. I suppose there were probably some times where the camera was facing the front of the truck so the pumpkins were out of view when I quit out, but there probably times where the camera was facing the pumpkins and they respawned every time I reloaded the game. I can't really explain why other people are having such a different experience with this, but I will update the guide with this in case anyone needs to this for the achievement to work.

@oMike: SnowRunner is pretty non-linear with its progression through maps, you should be able to access Taymyr in the exact same way that you access Alaska i.e. retain your truck in the garage and use the global map. Drowned Lands is the first map in the region, so you don't even really need to go far.

If you have only just finished the tutorial, the only difficulty you may have is not having a truck capable of traversing the terrain. If you have the preorder truck, the Navistar, you can pretty easily do it even with a stock version (that's what I used in these screenshots). You can see in the first screenshot the path that I started to take to the first watchtower, there is little mud along this path but I did get stuck a couple of times (having raised suspension would have prevented this). Alternatively, there is a path straight west of the garage that is paved for most of the way to the village, but it does get quite muddy near the end.

There are a few places around that have pumpkins, but the Drowned Lands map in Taymyr/Russia has the most available at once, grouped in one spot. Don't waste your time focusing on this one, just use this method:- Pick any truck you want, preferably a small scout that you don't need/don't use, and drive to the region marked here: LINK. There will be 2 fields full of pumpkins. Run over all of them & continue doing whatever you like, leaving your scout on the spot. The pumpkins will respawn after 1-2 in-game days, so from time to time load up Drowned Lands (you can teleport to the scout car, picking it with cross.png from the map menu) and run over the pumpkins again whenever they respawn. Repeat until the trophy pops.

Pumpkin patches are located on the first map of the farm. You can also leave the car near the pumpkins, “jump” into another vehicle, then return after a while to the abandoned car and the pumpkins will be like new.

Taimyr, “Swamps” map, below in the center there are three very tasty meadows with pumpkins, ~170 pieces. As a result, the trophy is completed in 3 runs:

Here is the video and description from underneath.
Location of pumpkins:
1st: Region "Michigan", location "Black River" near the "Farm" about 12 pumpkins.
2nd: Region "Michigan", location "Smithville Dam" near the "Farm" about 12 pumpkins.
3rd: Region "Taimyr", location "Swamps" approximately 20 pumpkins in each garden. There are 5 vegetable gardens in total.

After everything was crushed. Leave your car near these gardens and wait for autosave (or simply “Return to the game menu”). Exit the game completely and close it. And start the game again and continue it, and you will see that the pumpkins will be restored to their places again. And repeat this until the trophy appears. BUT if you just exit to the main menu of the game without closing it completely, and immediately load back into the game. Then the pumpkins continue to lie crushed. So close the game completely.
