So your attempt to tell me what trucking is or isnt is a bit lets say silly. My dad is a trucker and im soon to become one as well, raised inside a truck since low age. More then half a countries trucking freight will be regionial and national, regional would be silly in the context of ETS 2 but national would make perfect sense and help in exploring a country more efficiently. You missed the point of my post telling me to do what i already do, as for making your own custom route, i know you can do it but like i said, there are many negatives to do so.
I would rather be able to explore and enjoy its gameplay at the same time if possible. and its becoming sickening after a while since its the same for ATS too, so i got to do it two times. I just think that if scs is making sure they built such a extensive web of roads with high detail is because they want us to drive in them and enjoy it, as it stands thats not possible witouth going out of your way and spend hours after hours just driving for no other reason then get that exploration to 100 per cent. i dont dwell in scs forums so perhaps it has already been talked about or something and if its the case i apologize for wasting your time , and once you would be done with a country, moove to the next, rinse and repeat. So i reached the reason why i titled my post the way i did, i feel like if we could in job search have an option that the game would only generate and show jobs for one country only, it would make easier and faster to explore all the roads, you would have jobs just for that country going to every city of that country over and over again, so your still doing jobs but have greater chances of having to pass through every single road eventually. I believe it should be possible to explore a map fully by just doing jobs.
it shouldnt be so difficult or at least not so boring to explore the map. by the time im done with it im fed up with the game that i wont touch it for a month. Just driving around to explore a new map expansion fully can take up to 5/6 straight evening/nights aka sessions of more then 7 hours straight each day for almost a week of doing something not fun just in exploration. Personally i make sure to see it but, to manage that all i can do is dont take a job and just drive around exploring every bit of road, and if your not doing jobs, not only its a lenghty process to explore all the map but its not fun cause you arent actually playing the game as intended. That makes map exploring very difficult im positive that a ton of people havent even seen half of your creations cause of that and thats a shame , What i mean is, anyone who will just play doing deliveries will hardly ever see all there is to see and drive on all roads, you have a timer to finish, you cant just deviate from it for the sake of driving in a new one and the GPS will most of the time pick the same main roads that are more direct and quickest to your destination. Jobs are too randomized even if you set up job creation to privileged small distance ones, it doesnt work too well. Scs, you work a lot on making scenic roads, all types of roads for each country, and thats very positive, but as it stands its almost impossible to drive them all during a job. Times anuff to bring a issue to light and wondering if its in scs pipelines to be solved or added one day.
The game is great, i love it and im very close from getting to 2000 hours of playtime in it.
