What's New This Week? #2 - ETS2 Mod Update v1.51.1
🕑 Added 2024-09-21 06:09:02 +0000 UTCHello Drivers,
Running a bit late on What's New This Week. I've been quite busy as my name would in imply.
Some of you may know that I am an owner-operator here in the US; but I am currently in the midst of switching myself and my truck to a different company for a new opportunity. This along with battling with a significant drop in available freight here in the Midwestern United States has eaten up quite a bit of my time as I'm working a very inconsistent schedule. To top it all off, I will soon be relocating as my current lease will be ending next month!
This weekend; I was supposed to be heading out for a two-day long airsoft event with my team and friends; but decided against it as I need to actually kick back and relax for once (as well as save a bit of money).
I'll however be using some of my free time this weekend to continue working on the mod for you all; with the focus this weekend intended on getting the Hardcore versions of the economy onto the steam workshop for both ATS and ETS2 to help streamline the upload process; and to get a few more minor updates/fixes made.
Additional time will be spent to go over some strategizing/planning to ensure I'm taking things in the right direction when it comes to the mod and our recent integration with Patreon; as I want to be sure those of you who are contributing financially will be getting your monies worth. Perhaps some feedback from those of you who are currently paid members will help me decide which direction to take. Be sure to comment below what you think!
As a reminder, currently there is NO obligation to become a paid member; as all content with the exception of Fuel Cards remains free to the public at this time; however this will be subject to change in the near future.

ETS2 Update
It's taken me quite some time to get an update pushed out for ETS2, as there has been a lot of recently released DLC by SCS Software which I had to go through and make compatible in regards to the Truck/Trailer/Parts unlock feature of the economy mod.
Unfortunately, when it comes to the Steam Workshop releases of the economy mod; certain files are not able to be uploaded correctly as the SCS Workshop Uploader app has a few limitations I need to work around. As a result; there may be a chance that select DLC items may not be fully unlocked when it comes to making in-game purchases until I can figure out the best way to tackle this issue.
The following applies for both Classic and Hardcore Editions of the GDC Logistics Realistic Economy Mod for ETS2.
Mod Version 1.51.1
Day of the Year Update: Date is now September 21st, 2024
Truck/Trailer/Parts Unlock Feature Restored
Krone DLC Compatibility Update
Kogel DLC Compatibility Update
Partial Kassbohrer DLC Compatibility Update
DAF 2025 Compatibility Update
Partial Wielton Scrap Master Compatibly Update
DOWNLOAD LINKS: Classic Edition (Via Steam Workshop) | Hardcore Edition (via Google Drive)

Fabiaacio, I would recommend reverting your ETS2 profile back to a previous game save that only used the "classic edition" of the economy mod for ETS2 and stick with the classic edition for that profile. The hardcore edition should only be used on hardcore edition profiles to avoid issues. As for the ETS2 hardcore edition being released for the steam workshop, this has not yet been done, but will soon. Please use the Google Drive link above in the meantime if you wish to play with the hardcore edition. If this is your first time using the hardcore edition, you should use a brand new profile and enable the mod BEFORE launching your profile. I will be working on a new installation guide for all versions of the economy mod to help clear any confusion

Hi, I saw that the Hardcore edition for ATS is out on Steam workshop, I thought I should download it here like I did for ETS... What should I do?I would also like to understand, for ETSI had the version on Steam workshop, I downloaded the hardcore version and replaced it on an existing profile. Do I have to start from scratch for both games?
