New buidings for Nordic Horizons!

(SCS Xwitter post with video)

Unlike those multi-store buildings, the smallest ones can likely be built in the same locations they are shown now .

I am surprised how much they are promoting Nordic Horizons already.  I wonder why?  Is it because of complaining ETS2 fans?  Usually they focus on the main DLC they are working (Greece) then move on to the next one.

Buildings look good.

Farm Machinery Booklet



SCS Blog
The Booklet

A digital booklet filled with inside information of how this DLC was made.  It is currently only digital with no current plans to make a physical booklet.

[timmelon]

Hmm... The physical booklet about the creation of the game DLC. Not even about the history of main series.
That’s a book for real fans .
(But, I remember there are real artbooks released with other games. One review I have read many years ago has even recommended to buy the artbook for Alice: Madness returns rather than the game itself )

[Silverwing]

I like they did this.  I like seeing more info on the game.  Their "Under the Hood" blog posts are some of my favorites.

Nice. Downloaded and will take a look at it.

Sooo... Have any of you tried the electric Renault so far?
I didn’t play ETS very much last month, but I tried to reset the economy several times — nope, still no E-Tech in the Quick Job menu.

[MasterXtreme]

Nope.  I don't do quick deliveries.  Everything is external contracts. 

[Silverwing]

I have not.  After finishing exploring Switzerland, I have been on ATS since.  Still have yet to see the California rework. I also don't do non external contract deliveries.

[Soda]

I have not.

[Anyponedrawn]

I have not tried yet, but I will eventually I am sure. I am only really do external contracts both with my trailer or without my trailer. I stopped doing those quick jobs when I could buy my own truck. It's honestly been years.

I stopped doing those quick jobs when I could buy my own truck.

Well, sometimes I take a quick job when I need to open a road starting from a city without a service station.
It’s much less profitable than using my own truck, but this delivery is usually very short, so most of time I still carry something expensive .

What do you need a service station for when visiting a new city?

Honestly, I don't look at price that much anymore.  Mainly choose my jobs based on the amount of time I have and where I want to go.

What do you need a service station for when visiting a new city?

Not a new city, but a discovered city connected to some undiscovered road. So, if I want to take the delivery from that city, I need to drive there, or... jump to the service station .

Mainly choose my jobs based on the amount of time I have and where I want to go.

I can say I also take some not-so-profitable cargo when there are no better ones for this route (actually, it’s the only way to see me with some joke cargoes like Plows ). For example, yesterday I took the Hay Bales because there were no other cargoes for the grey road from Catania to Venice .
