Lumber Jill would be the perfect replacement for Deepgrove that what in East Texas. Lumber Jill has lingered around in the game files forever. I agree it would be nice to finally see it debut.
Bingo....and this is what I keep bringing up. Glad you spoke on Ikea in Europe because I had no idea what its like. But you just painted the perfect picture what I speak of. Too many for ETS2.........that is exactly what Wallbert is doing in ATS but multiple that by 10. Its getting bad. Granted you are 100% correct that Walmart is everywhere in the US. That's reality. That is 1:1. At 1:20 is wayyyy worse and exaggerated. Where is Target, where is Sam's, Where is Costco? Alberstons, Krogers, Safeway, Aldi. There are other grocery stores and other supermarkets to make. Even if Walmart came licensed in ATS, its still too many in the gme. Between Walmart, Target, Sams and Costco together would be much better than having Wallbert everywhere as the solo supermarket. That is exactly my fear. By the time the US is completely mapped, We are looking at 500 Wallberts if SCS doesn't change up what they do.Vinnie Terranova wrote: ↑28 Jun 2022 14:50Well, the problem with Ikea for instance, is that every mayor city in the country where I live, has an Ikea... This would mean that in ETS2 all cities in The Netherlands could have an Ikea. And that's way too much for ETS2. It's nice to have one Ikea in a small country, but not every city in that small country would need an Ikea, although in real life all those cities have an Ikea.flight50 wrote: ↑27 Jun 2022 21:45Replace these fictional Walmart locations that don't even exist. That would get rid of more than half all these Wallberts. 150 and counting is too much for the few states we have. I'd rather fictional or made up buildings instead of fictional Walmart locations. When you use the caliber of a Walmart, the location should be pretty accurate imho. Same with any NA company that is being parodied. If no parody is being represented make that fictional, but not Walmart. That is like putting Ikea everywhere in ETS2 when there is no Ikea there in real life. I can bet you ETS2 fans would complain if Ikea was dropped everywhere where it shouldn't be. Have some type of realism for reality locations when it comes to depots. We don't need their true branded name but a parody, put the right building in place at least.
I don't know about Walmart, but looking at Google Maps it seems that all mayor cities and also a lot of not so big towns in the US have a Walmart. This could mean that Walmart (Walbert) easily can be overpopulated in ATS. I don't want Walbert to be in 75% of the cities in ATS. But that amount of Walberts unfortunately is the reality...
Walmart owns both Walmart Neighborhood and Sam's. If SCS is fond of Walmart, at least do those 2. But more diversity is heavily needed. For Texas, H.E.B. is big the further South you go. I think Kroger and Albertson's fits better though as they are more national and we need national grocery chains. We don't have any. Count how many grocery stores are in ETS2. A lot more than just one. Follow what ETS2 is doing in its economy. A diverse economy goes a long ways. H.E.B would be more like a one off and only in Texas. The more states that come though, you can brace yourself for nearly every city having a Walmart. The game doesn't have to mimic that level of persistence. Not when there are other options. If the other options are not in (x) city, then yeah, toss in Walmart or bring in something new like a bakery, candy factory, Frito Lay snacks/chips, etc. Anything is better than Walmart in every single city. Way too many options here in the US to keep using the same company just because in real life its everywhere.
