Cruise Control

Learn how to use Cruise Control (CC) in Supermarket Simulator! Discover the benefits of each gear (1, 2, 3) for plowing, harvesting, transporting, and more. Drive smarter!

Alright, let's talk about Cruise Control, or CC as we'll call it. Every vehicle in the game has it, and it's super handy. Basically, it lets you set a specific speed and your tractor will just stick to it, so you don't have to constantly fiddle with the gas and brake to keep things steady. It's got three gears, and you can switch between them using the number keys 1, 2, and 3 above your letter keys (not the numpad!).

Gear 1 (1): The Slow and Steady

This is your slowest setting, and it's perfect for pretty much all the delicate work. Think plowing, cultivating, seeding, harvesting, or even carefully moving stuff with a front-loader or bales with a trailer. It's slow, yeah, but it keeps your tractor and whatever you're pulling nice and level. This seriously cuts down on the chances of tipping over, especially when you need to make those sharper turns.

Gear 2 (2): The Middle Ground

This is your medium speed. It's probably too fast for tasks like plowing or seeding, but it's great for things that need a bit more pace, like spraying, mowing, or baling. You're not at max speed, so you still have decent control and grip on the ground. Just be a bit more cautious with sharp turns here, as the risk of tipping over is higher than with gear 1. You can use this on your starting combine for harvesting, but it's definitely too quick for the larger ones.

Gear 3 (3): Full Throttle!

This is your maximum speed setting. It unleashes all the horsepower, and you'll be zooming around. It's like holding down the accelerator (W), but once you hit '3', it just stays there, so you don't have to keep your finger on the key. This is awesome for when you just want to go fast – exploring the map, heading to the shop to grab something you bought, or hauling grain. Just a heads-up: if you've got a full tipper trailer, be extra careful when using CC3. Turning or hitting uneven roads can easily send your tractor and trailer flying or tipping over. Seriously, avoid sharp turns and off-roading at this speed if you don't want a mess!
