Trucking Simulator Games Discussion

Arkansas is a creepy place in my opinion.   It is also home to one of America's worst towns!  Pine Bluff!! It's so interesting to see how SCS will handle some of America's poorer states like Arkansas.  Really curious.   That isn't to say they don't have nice places, they do.  NW Arkansas is quite nice.  The further south you go the worse is gets.  This becomes especially true when entering swampy and poor Louisiana.

The "cola" river is the muddy Mississippi River I think.

How the depots were made

The current depots are indeed a big improvement compared with the first WoS games, where the only original parts were the names like Capone International or Kono Kola .

^ I like these videos that show us how things are made.

We also got the Christmas trucking event likely starting soon!! Prepare yourselves. It would be so cool if in winter, we had the option to drive snowy roads... even if just for the events.

I hope they continue to make them so customizable.  I love the depots that are open ended with no defined walls or within a parking lot of another bigger complex.  It seems so much more realistic instead of having an enclosed depot with a fence around it looking like a specific asset.

I love seeing how they can customize so much.   That is awesome.

Neat video.   I would love to have access to those tools with all the assets to make our own maps.

I know people can do that, but I do not know how.

That's how people who do ProMods and other mods do it, but they are never as good as what SCS does.  That's why I don't use mods.  It takes a lot of time to be good at map making in this game.

Strangely, I think more of the community uses map mods than doesn't, which kind of blows my mind.  Unless they are the vocal minority.

Where these photos were taken?

Pretty sure one is the Arkansas side of Texarkana.  The abandoned downtown part. 

Also look up Pine Bluff, Arkansas.  Another miserable abandoned city in the state.

I think it is a vocal minority that use mods.  But they probably make up a good chunk of dedicated players.  I am not a fan of altering the game the way it is intended to be but to each their own.

No map addition mods for me.  They have usually been pretty terrible and seem out of place with their placement of things.  I know Coast to Coast, ProMods, and maybe some others are better, but no thanks.  I think some even have an additional fee to even play!  I put enough into this game.

I'm exploring Albania.  It looks neat in the game despite being the 3rd poorest country in Europe.  I love seeing seeing the variation in things country by country.  Up next is North Macedonia.  I just wish they had more cramped into these countries.  I couldn't help but feel a few countries are literally just one highway and some towns.  No multiple routes in some of the countries.

Probably this Thursday we get a blog post.

I know what you mean.  Albania suffers from that as does Bosnia Herzegovina.  There isn't enough routes if you look at it simple by country, but as a region it is dense.

This will give me more reason to explore West Balkans and Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.  I still haven't explored the new addition to Texas yet.  I think I am in Brownsville or something.

Just as you said, the Christmas event starts Thursday.  The World of Trucks servers are currently down.
