The olive carrier is for the secret military trained cows.  Should be exciting.

Worms had a lot of military trained animals . It would be fun to see cows painted in Flecktarn or M1942 Frog Skin for these trailers.

I haven't played Worms since... wow, I was young.  I used to play at my friends house. He played on his computer and I played on his Dad's computer.  Fun times.

I'm sorry, I am not buying own able cattle trailers.  I don't want to have to clean them out.

Cattle doesn't pay good enough.   But I do like how they look.

[timmelon]

I can say we have a whole category of cheap cargo trailers, which are vital in real life, but in the game they can be taken mostly for fun or for roleplaying.
Log carrier, bulk trailers, cattle trailers... even the grain trailers are much less profitable than dry vans who allow you to take TV's, dynamite, vaccines or other expensive cargo.
(although, nothing stops hired drivers from hauling cardboard boxes and empty pallets using the refrigerators )

Does anyone here role-play on top of their truck driving?  I just realized I don't.  I mean, other then trying to building up my trucking empire with new garages, trucks, and drivers, I don't role-play anything.

[timmelon]

My role is to take only the top-scoring orders .
The one I finished yesterday was super close to 6000 km and 10000 points.

(at Level 60, 158 kEuro can be earned much, much faster )

[Silverwing]

So really, so far no one role-plays in the traditional way.  We are just money earners.  

[timmelon]

The big portion of players who doesn’t need to earn the money still exists...
...like people who has one proflie for years and they don’t even know where to put all the income .
I remember my second year, where I didn’t make the stupid decisions, the company was growing very fast, and at the end of the year the money stream was so thick so I could buy a full garage with five trucks every two hours. I can’t even imagine how rich are the players who have 200+ workers (and first of them at maximum level!).
From the other hand, there are a lot of YT reviewers who doesn’t have any hired drivers, plus, we have some mods which are reducing the cargo price to the numbers where the police tickets and fuel price become a serious part of expences, so, one delivery of cardboard boxes from Galveston to Tacoma may reward you with two thousand dollars .

[RainySunshine]

I have more then enough money, been playing the same account for years.  Yet I keep on driving! I don't get tired of this game.

Very, very green screenshots

(SCS Twitter page with video)

Third post about ETS in a row , today it’s Western Balkans. That screenshot with 180-degree turn shows the mountains have much more trees, if compare with similar locations from Wyoming and Austria (for some reason, I can’t just drive by without making a screenshot ).

Did the developers start to optimize the game engine, or these trees will eat a lot of FPS for owners of video cards cheaper than RTX 3070?

[MasterXtreme]

In relation to this ETS blog post, I should mention they have created a West Balkans mini site.  If the future updates section of the site is to be trusted, we have a VEEERRRRY long time before we see the West Balkans.  Kansas AND Oklahoma will probably release before it.

We got a long way to go.  Photos look nice though.

[Silverwing]

That is looking very green.
