Did you check the games discord server? It has a huge and
very friendly, helpful and well-informed community. You can
find the link to the discord in a seperate thread here in the
forums. Just follow the link ...

right now companies can only support AI bus drivers, in the next update we might get support for trucks

If you want to make profit with the company you have created, you need to buy a bus and have it equiped with a license (Townie and Bongo are sold without it), and add it to the company. Once added, you set it to do a route; by default you will only have the default bus routes, but in the company menu you can make custom ones (here you can also import other peoples custom bus routes); these custom routes will also be available to you, to do them with other busses that are not in the company, and if you join a multiplayer corporation (its different from a company) you will also get to do their custom bus routes.
To start, I would recoment to buy a Liliput (if you take into account the price of the bus license its cheaper than a Bongo or Townie) and have it do a route that covers either all of Jeju city, or a combined Gang-Jung and Seo-gui-po downtown [if you want i can give you my custom route made to work with a liliput], you can just leave it running in the background while you do other jobs.
Busses driving around in the company will deteriorate over time, and every so often you will need to fix them by clicking the refresh button and paying 100 (its very little, the busses will make a lot more), if their condition/durability drops to 0 they will continue driving their route, but they will not pick up or drop passengers, so no money making, but they will still consume their running cost money (paid by the minute, varies between busses, but the most efficient ones in terms of cost/min per passenger are the SV200 school bus, the liliput, and the roadmaster).
If you have just started and have very little vehicles and/or little money, i would recomend buying a Bongo, as it can have a taxi license (and work as a taxi), carry cargo in its trunk and roof rack (if you install its roof rack), plus pull a trailer if needed; and when you do not need it because you are driving other vehicles, you can install a bus license and have it on the company making money.

Now about truck routes, do you mean the production chains or were you asking about the in-company routes?

The company trucks should follow the players habbits. If you have done most of the jobs and you know your way around with that job, you can make a route that you yourself drive, save it and set it on a compatible truck (with the truck you drove on that route) and it should work independently. The simplest routes are oil, fuel, containers.
Edit: Milk too.

[fisketjon4250]

so why do the npc company drivers make so little on loads that the player would make a killing on?.. i hauled logs and it paid me 24000, my driver does it and its like 1000-2000.. that doesnt make much sense.

[hitman_2]

The whole system is in its own testing phase, because noone knew how it will perform.
So far it is weaker than the bus alternative, and that one isnt even good to start with.
Work you make yourself should be always better paid, even after the buffing and boosting is finished.

[fisketjon4250]

i mean when you own a company you don't charge less to do the same job. whether its you or an employee the job should pay the same. you just take a smaller cut as the owner because the employee and the company take their cut.. so you should not have to buy the truck and trailer just to make 20 times less. that makes no sense..

Honestly, AI truckers work well. However, you need to give them specific cargo routes, because they'll only load whatever they can deliver (any point that's on their route). For example, I had my van drive from the Gangjung warehouse to the Jeju warehouse. This was horrible, as throughout the 5 rounds he's done he delivered 1 (one) package.

Later on I bought a tanker to deliver milk to Daily Cheese Inc. Delivering milk and then the produced goods got very time consuming to do on my own, so I tried handing the milk route to the AI driver, and this time, it works flawlessly. I'm thinking of getting another box truck for the AI to deliver some of the produce to Juju's food joints, as there are loads of pallets that I can't load on my own, as I usually run routes to Gangjung anyway.

Good luck and drive safe. :letsgo:

Just a heads up.

Not everyone uses Discord. I myself use Steam and the available forums for information. I have no need for a 3rd party application to communicate about a game I bought on steam.

Steam forums and all the stuff posted there isn't the same as
any official informations on a games website, forum or discord.

Motor Town has no forums so the discord is the main panel
for any informations and discussions for and about the game
and there are far more people active who know everything
about the game than on the steam forums. The developer
himself is also focused on the discord and doesn't care
much about the steam forums.

It's ok for me if you like to stay in your bubble but, there's
far more outside and it's alot of fun, too.

Have fun and drive safe.

Then perhaps he shouldn't be selling the game on steam then.

Odd how his primary location for income is one he doesn't care about to communicate within.

I am pretty sure you don't seem to get it.

The game is sold on steam. The community within has the following communication formats.

- Discussions
- Screenshots
- Artwork
- Broadcasts
- Videos
- News
- Guides
- Reviews

All of which are in use by the steam community.

So don't be coming here trying to get everyone to use Discord to talk about a game that I bought on Steam. I don't use Discord. I will never use Discord. So stop plastering the forums with your anti-steam third party software promotions.

And be sure to let the Developer know on discord that you spoke on his behalf about him not caring about steam. You know.. where he draws his income.

Or better yet, I should just notify him myself.

For starters, Kilayandra is correct. The dev's main focus for feedback, ideas, etc is the discord. I would implore you to join it if you want to keep more up to date on development and have a higher chance of ideas and bug reports being seen. He basically never comes on here.

Why? Well, Steam discussion forums suck, to put it bluntly. Nobody wants to use this garbage in the first place, and the lack of proper moderation on Valve's part only solidifies it. We had someone spamming an update thread begging for steam points to stop spamming "dead game", I reported every single post, and Valve did nothing until the dev himself stepped in. He has better things to do than moderate discussion boards Valve should already be moderating, given he's a solo dev. So I don't really blame him for preferring Discord.

It's not uncommon at all for developers of games to set up a Discord community for their game, and have that become the main hub for discourse around the game rather than the Steam discussions. Discord provides a lot more useful features (forums, polls, bots) that simply aren't possible here.

So before you go taking your anger out on someone who's just trying to inform you of a better place where your voice will be heard, perhaps you should take a moment to think of the reasons why a solo dev may not be interested in using the cesspool that is Steam's discussion forums. Steam is a great digital storefront, but certainly not a great social media/networking platform.

Приятель, не все могут использовать дискорд теперь, он заблокирован у меня в стране например, за нарушение законодательства со стороны пользователей и низкой степени модерации владельцев, поэтому мне так же необходима теперь информация в интернете и частности steam, где я купил игру.
