Idaho Spuds Event

We are celebrating the 1st anniversary since our Idaho DLC release, by highlighting its famous potato industry. So, we’re inviting our #BestCommunityEver to join us in hauling Idaho Spuds - our latest World of Trucks event! The community goal is to achieve 200,000 deliveries of either Potatoes or the The Big Idaho Potato; we’ve gone all out to faithfully reproduce this famous truck and trailer, used to advertise and praise Idaho potatoes throughout the state.


The goal here is simply to have fun #HaulingSpuds and maybe grab a few rewards on the way. We’re sure you’re gonna like what you find. And yes, you can even haul Potatoes cargo using your own trailer in the external market, The Big Idaho Potato, however, is in External contracts only.


Not only do we have the trailer but we've also added the genuine Kenworth T680 paint job to accompany The Big Idaho Potato cargo, available in the game, and we can’t wait to see your pics as you make your deliveries. Don't forget to tag our and The Big Idaho Potato social media profiles (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) too to let them know how much do you like hauling their pride around!

We're also giving 2 special rewards for completing your personal goal which will require 6 deliveries of Potatoes plus 1 more delivery of The Big Idaho Potato, from any of Idaho’s cities.

This event is a chance to be part of the Potato industry which means so very much to so many people, not only in Idaho and not only in the U.S. but all over the world. I mean, who on earth doesn't enjoy a beautifully roasted spud?! So have fun, Haul them Spuds, and see you on the road!

Rules:

Using External Contracts or External Market, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in American Truck Simulator, the community goal is to achieve 200,000 deliveries of either Potatoes cargo or the event-specific, The Big Idaho Potato cargo, from any city in Idaho.

When a player completes 6 deliveries of Potatoes cargo and 1 delivery of the event-specific The Big Idaho Potato cargo, from any city in Idaho, it will complete their personal goal.

Note:

• The Big Idaho Potato cargo is only available from External Contracts.
• Potatoes cargo is available from External Contracts or External Market.

All jobs for the event need to be 100 miles each (161 km) or more.

You can check if your recent deliveries met these conditions using your Log Book in your World of Trucks profile.

• Personal goal: Individual player contributions of 6 deliveries of Potatoes cargo and 1 delivery of The Big Idaho Potato cargo, from any Idaho city, will gain that player a personal World of Trucks Achievement, and 2 Steam inventory items for their cabin. A yummy Wooden Bowl of fresh crisp potato chips, and an attractive, Idaho unique, Giant Salamander Sticker.

• Community goal: When the community goal of achieving 200,000 deliveries of either Potatoes cargo or The Big Idaho Potato cargo, from any city in Idaho is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal then they will receive 2 Steam inventory items for their cabin. A specially designed Idaho Nights Air Freshener, and a cute Idaho Potato Sticker.

Note: In order to qualify for the community rewards, you must complete at least your personal goal in American Truck Simulator. Each reward will be a Steam inventory item for American Truck Simulator. Once completed, claim your reward in the Events page on your World of Trucks profile.

So what exactly does our Wyoming DLC have to offer for truckers? These are just a few of the things we think you will love:

• Deliver to and from 10 cities and discover 14 settlements
• Discover and deliver to Wyoming's important industries like coal & soda ash, farms & agriculture, railyards, and more!
• Haul livestock cargo to our new cattle auction houses
• Drive on the Highway to Heaven.
• Haul cargo on the I-80, the second-longest Interstate highway in the United States
• See wildlife unique to Wyoming including Bison
• Visit landmarks like Devils Tower National Monument and part of the Yellowstone National Park and get bird's-eye views with many new viewpoints.
• Admire accurate representations of cities like Cheyenne, Casper, Jackson, Sheridan, and more!
• Visit and take a rest at famous Wyoming rest stops & gas stations.
• Unlock Wyoming-specific Steam Achievements

...and much more!


We will also have a World of Trucks event available for all new visitors to Wyoming, with unique rewards to be earned as you visit all 10 cities and deliver jobs. Learn more about the rules in yesterday's blog post and take part in #CruisingWyoming at WorldofTrucks.com. We'd love to see your photos across our Social Media channels using the hashtag!


We expect to have this event available to players for an extended period of time, probably way beyond the point of reaching the community goal. We don't want to motivate you to rush through the DLC in a hurry to make sure you manage to obtain the personal achievement. We simply want to reward early adopters of the DLC for spending quality time with the new content.



Speaking of rewards, all truckers in Wyoming are eligible to receive a special cabin accessory, a Triceratops plush toy! To earn this unique reward, simply take any External Contract or External Market job to or from the city of Gillette. Why this city specifically you may ask? Believe it or not, paleontologists digging in northeastern Wyoming (so near Gillette) have uncovered fossilized remains of three triceratopses - possibly the most complete specimens of the dinosaurs yet found! So be sure to claim your part of prehistoric history for your cabin.


We will also be hosting a special Wyoming release live stream across official Steam & Twitch channels starting at 16:00 CEST. Don't miss out on this broadcast as we talk with Davido (DLC Lead) PLUS a special guest appearance from Pavel Šebor CEO of SCS Software! We will be answering questions from the community, talking in-depth about the DLC, giving away free Wyoming Steam keys and of course, releasing the highly anticipated map expansion LIVE on stream!


We hope you'll enjoy exploring what Wyoming has to offer! We will see you on the roads.

Cruising Montana Event

Join us tomorrow, August 4th, as we celebrate the release of our new Montana DLC by taking part in our World Of Trucks event - Cruising Montana! From majestic mountains to crystal clear lakes, Montana will take your breath away with its unspoiled nature as you deliver to various farms, ranches and new industries.




We are asking our #BestCommunityEver to achieve the community goal of driving 100,000,000 miles (160,934,400 km) while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Montana.

While #CruisingMontana you'll experience an untamed wilderness due to its large open lands and small population. Drive with us from the prairies in the east to mountain ranges in the west. Be delighted by views of the Rocky Mountains, home to mountain goats and the endangered grizzly bears. This Treasure State is not only known for its gold and silver mines, but it also enjoys a rich agricultural heritage, with ranching and farming bringing forth economies like livestock, sugar and grain production. So, you truckers play an important part in Montana's industry.

In Montana we offer plenty of viewing platforms, allowing you to take in spectacular views and highlights of this Big Sky Country:

• Glacier National Park, a large wilderness area of glacier-carved peaks and valleys.
• Great Falls, a series of five waterfalls located on the Missouri River.
• Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi.
• Yellowstone National park, a large wilderness area with volcano and oldest national park in the world.

And, as before, you can experience all this in the external market with your own trailer!

Montana DLC is offering 15 charming new cities to explore, and we are offering a special reward for completing your personal goal, which will require you to deliver a job to or from at least 12 of them. All jobs for the event need to be 100 miles each (161 km) or more, and don't forget to check out the rules.

Get ready for our latest addition to American Truck Simulator and share your adventures with us, as you discover a wide variety of farms and industries across the state, while enjoying the unspoiled nature, charming small towns, and spectacular views of Montana.

Using External Contracts or External Market, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in American Truck Simulator, the community goal is to drive 100,000,000 miles (160,934,400 km) while delivering cargoes to or from any city in Montana.

When a player completes a delivery to or from 12 different Montana cities, they will achieve their personal goal.

All jobs for the event need to be at least 100 miles each (161 km), or more.

American Truck Simulator: 1.46 Open Beta

Today, we are happy to share with you that the 1.46 Open Beta branch for American Truck Simulator is now available to try and test out. If you plan on participating in this Open Beta, we ask that you please help us by reporting any bugs you may encounter in the appropriate section(s) of our official forums.


Your feedback and reports are extremely valuable to our team and we thank you in advance for taking the time to help us out. So, without further ado, let's take a look at what the 1.46 Open Beta has in store.

Company Browser

An exciting new feature coming to both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 in the 1.46 update is the Company Browser. This new in-game browser allows players to search for specific types of companies, cargoes and/or trailer types. This means that if you are waiting for any of the examples mentioned in the previous sentence, you can easily check if such a thing even exists within the game!





So, if you are curious about which cargo you can theoretically haul for example between Bellingham and Nogales or even Eureka to Burlington, the company browser will achieve just that!






We are eager for you to take this new feature for a test drive during the Open Beta and to receive your feedback on the Company Browser. Any feedback or comments are welcome about this feature (or any others you are trying during the beta) at our forums. Happy trucking!


Ownable Cisterns - Chemical Trailers

Today we are happy to share with you the next addition to our ownable cistern collection which will be available in 1.46, Chemical Trailers!






These tankers are designed to transport a variety of chemicals including acidic, toxic, or corrosive liquid products. These cargo types include Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Pesticides, Mercuric Chloride and more, so careful driving is highly recommended.






The ATS Cistern will include 3 chassis types (43ft 2 axle, 48ft 3 axle and 53ft, 4 axle) which are single chain. It will also come 2 body types (chrome or paintable) and with a variety of accessories and customizations which include:

• Chassis type
• Paintjobs (base and DLC)
• Markers
• Rear bumpers
• Mudflaps
• and other accessories such as (hoses, tool boxes, extinguishers etc

We are excited to see you hauling these new chemical trailers in your company and how you will customize them!

US-20

We are happy to share that the US-20, located between Idaho and Montana will be arriving as a free update for owners of the DLCs. This highway has been highly requested by you, our #BestCommunityEver, since Montana's release.




This important connection allows drivers to drive between Idaho Falls, ID, and the settlement of West Yellowstone in Montana. West Yellowstone is also home to a tourist center, located just outside the west gate to the Yellowstone Natl. Park. This also gives players traveling from Idaho state an option to travel to the Yellowstone National Park as well as connect with US-191 which is a popular trucking route in the area.



We hope you enjoy exploring this new road along with the beautiful views that come along with it. And who knows, maybe you will find a new achievement over there as well.

Custom City Intros

Recently, we introduced a new experimental feature in ETS2 and ATS - the custom city introductions. Thanks to the positive feedback that we have seen from the community, we are glad to let you know that we will further expand this feature in the upcoming 1.46 update!






These special cutscenes appear when a player selects a starting city when creating a new profile and, as you may know, they are currently available only for the cities of Austria and the city of Hanover in Euro Truck Simulator 2. In the 1.46 update, however, this feature can now be found in the world of American Truck Simulator also!

New players will have the opportunity to watch one of these awesome cutscenes when selecting their first city that has a garage in Colorado and Wyoming map expansions.






So, what do you think? Should we keep working on the custom city introductions? If so, let us know!

Idaho Viewpoints Redesign

We went back and updated the viewpoints of Idaho DLC to better reflect our current standard of their length, pace and camera movement. They are now generally more polished and on par in terms of quality with their more modern siblings from newer map expansions.



Driveshaft Torque

We are always doing our best to make the trucking experience within our games as realistic as possible, and that is exactly the reason why this new addition, which can be turned on in the settings, is arriving into the world of ATS. This feature simulates the spinning of the chassis during acceleration, which results in a slight lift of the front left wheel. This effect is more visible on American trucks due to them being longer.





Changelog

Map

• US-20 road between Idaho and Montana
• Idaho Viewpoints Redesign

Vehicles

• Ownable Cisterns - Chemical Trailers
• Cascadia and Western Star 57X got custom infotainment implementation
• Infotainment/GPS screens on all trucks have switched off state separated from map zoom
• Cellphones and navigational devices got a custom implementation

Gameplay

• Company Browser
• Custom City Intros
• Driveshaft Torque

So enjoy all the new additions, but please remember: It's only an open beta, not a stable public version - so you may encounter bugs, instability, or crashes. It's completely okay if you want to wait for the final release. But if you're interested in helping us to get there faster, we'll appreciate all of your feedback on our forum and your bug reports in this section.

Please check our modding wiki to get details pertaining to mods for the game.

If you wish to participate in the open beta, you can find this version in the public_beta branch on Steam. The way to access it is as follows: Steam client → LIBRARY → right-click on American Truck Simulator → Properties → Betas tab → public_beta → 1.46. No password required. Sometimes you have to restart your Steam client to see the correct branch name there.
