Important Notice For Our Modding Community

Due to the appearance of mods with sets of our World of Trucks event rewards and Steam inventory items - we feel the need to clarify our policy.

Image

Seeing countless mods for our games is great and we're happy that so many talented people are investing their time in adjusting, improving or creating new content - but there are limits of what is and isn't fine. Simply copying our content, without making any meaningful changes (and without making the mod DLC dependable in case of DLC content) absolutely isn't. Steam inventory item modifications are not either. These items are meant as, and should stay so, something special that not everyone has, while also being a part of Valve's Steam market.

This restriction isn't meant to harm our great modding community, it's strictly to protect the value of said items. Every single one of them has to be obtained as a reward for time invested into our many WoTr events, or eventually bought from someone who earned them that way.

So far we've banned a few of those mods, and some of the authors were warned. From now on, we will take these mods as a direct violation of property rights and we will react accordingly.

We've set up a topic for questions about this - if there are any - on our forum. We won't reply on questions regarding this restriction anywhere else.

Due to the informative nature of this post, comments have been disabled.

New World of Trucks Event: Double-trailer Logistics

American Truck Simulator players deserve their own dedicated event on World of Trucks, and we are launching one just now...

Image

Of all internal projects in SCS Software's production pipeline, the New Mexico DLC for ATS is closest to the finish line. Our team of map designers, QA specialists, and programmers, in cooperation with our volunteer community testers, is in the final stretch of bug fixing and optimizing of the content to make it ready for release. As the saying goes, they are doubling down on their work. The word "doubling" or "double" happens to be our inspiration for the upcoming event.

What if, rather then building the digital rendition of New Mexico in the comfort of our office, we have really been working out there, on the roads, in the fields, towns, or real cities? We would need to double the amount of raw material, tools, parts, and supplies delivered across the economy network so that it can eventually reach all the builders, roadmakers, gardeners, vegetation planters, and everyone involved in building New Mexico and help them work even faster. And that's where our player community comes to play, this gives us the motive for the next World of Trucks event... we hope for your support. Actually, double support!

Let's use "doubles" to double the amount of cargo on the roads! However, we wonder, do we have enough skilled drivers for such a task? Can you answer the call of 'double trailer' duty and haul some supplies to various places around American Truck Simulator?

Now straight to the rules of this new World of Trucks event.

What we need you to do:

Transport a total of 300.000 lb of cargo using only Double Trailers. Do so with jobs connected to World of Trucks, while playing American Truck Simulator, of course. For every delivery, the destination city must be different. Only deliveries with planned trip distance over 100 miles are eligible. We want to give you plenty of time, so we set the deadline to December 3, 2017.

What is the reward:

A new main-menu scene for American Truck Simulator - atmospheric sunset background for your truck. This scene will be delivered to your game as a Steam inventory item on completion of the event assignment. Also, a unique World of Trucks achievement.

See you on the road!
