Today's latest post from scs on twitter is mysterious, in yesterday's stream Nemiro said that there will be a special stream over Halloween (31.10 Sunday), I would be interested in what it will be about, we have to wait another 16 days. https://youtu.be/DphmEzRjwP0 Nemiro mentions a special stream over Halloween

@LATrucker I got it! The only one I think we have any chance of really finding is number 7, but from my time looking for this photo, it seems a lot of those Texas Centennial Markers are placed like that, just in front of a chain link fence with wilderness behind it.
Check out my Michigan research map!
Check out my ATS IRL map! -> Leave any feedback in my thread!
Kansas added! Up-to-date blog photo locations for upcoming states also included.

Okay, Thanks for the response Annie! :D

I wasn't "expecting" anything. It was a suggestion that I didn't know was realistic or unrealistic. Of course I don't really care to see it in game or not, it would have been cool, but now that I know that it is unrealistic to be in the game, of course I won't suggest anything like that again.

I'm sorry if it came across like that. It was neither directly related to your comment nor was it really meant as criticism towards such expectations or in your case, a particular suggestion. Rather a general appreciation that developers contribute in this way. I would like to see more of that. I mean, maybe i have some unrealistic "expectations" too? Especially with someone as talented as Annie (working now full time on ATS), expectations may and will naturally rise to unachievable heights. :)

It's okay, I'm not offended or anything, I sometimes take comments in the wrong way. I know I shouldn't, but that's just who I am. We are good! :)

And yes, I may have some unrealistic expectations/suggestions/wishlist items like everyone else, that's why I try not to talk about them here just in case they are too unrealistic. With Annie, the game is going to get even better and I am very excited to see what she brings to American Truck Simulator! :D

@Brendan0620 You don't know something is unrealistic until you say something. I always say closed mouths don't get fed. The way I see things is talk about them and if not possible, a dev could eventually chime in. In this case, one did. I actually like your idea. Its very realistic and immersive for gameplay. Now its not very realistic for the devs is all she is saying. Its a ton of work to keep up with. Now for the example she said 600 billboards. Well ATS could perhaps get 600 total for the entire game. Add or change them out over the course of the next 10-15 years. 200-300 is probably more feasible though. But the exit number on the signs makes if very very difficult I'd think. That's a ton of coordination. SCS would burn a lot of time fine tuning something that minor when there are bigger fish to fry. If I had to guess, natvander would have to be involved with exit numbers and that's too much on his plate. He is already going back and adding numbers to the distance signs and doing this all by hand iirc saying. That's a rough task in itself.

In a nutshell, its more than likely not worth the devs time for so little gain.

:mrgreen: that would be motivative.

I was always a part of the ATS team (I've worked on Colorado and Wyoming). I merely work there fulltime now - a change that allows me to dedicate myself fully to ATS and help our team realise ideas and visions that weren't possible before due to time restraints.

Texas has a variety of a lot more businesses, so take your creativity as far beyond your limits! I am also asking a rocket job in association with NASA. Can someone list all the possible TX gas stations and their parody names? That would be interesting.
