more drivers

[speedrace]

when are we going to get more drivers to hire?

[AyMazingATS]

And what are your going to do with the millions and millions and even more millions that you already have?

It is pointless because there is absolutely nothing to spend the money on.

Just my 2 cents. You don't have to like it.

I got to 5 million and then dismissed all my drivers.

I never had drivers, but I am sitting at 4 million cash almost reaching 5 million from just doing random deliveries. Not even the high dollar long runs that sit at like 300,000. Adding a way to add more drivers would be pretty redundant due to the amount of stupid money you can make in this game Lol.

did you discover all the hire places? You get more selection the more you activate

The number of agencies you find does not in any way increase the number of drivers in the pool available to hire, only how many you see in the Recruitment Agency screens at any one time.

If I can recomend a mod, try starting a new profile with this mod on: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=646519799&searchtext=economy
No it won't add more drivers, but you definitively won't be able to hire them all so quickly.

I would prefer more Active MODS, around 200 in a Convoy as an option. If someone in the Convoy has a PC that is struggling, lower it to 75, possibly 50. We all know there will be "Special People" who will complain that their PC from 2015 cannot handle that load and everyone else should suffer for it but if we just ignored those people they would move on to the game they want to turn this into, or secretly are trying to get people interested in a competing game.

Next week they will want to have hands added to move with the steering wheel, the week after will be how to get rid of the birds, after that they will want 24/7 sunlight, after that they will want their character to be able to walk around to eat, drink, maintain their visibly damaged trucks and go to the washroom.

I kind of wish the game deducted taxes on our buildings each year, bi-annually, month, bi-weekly, weekly, which ever term they preferred, according to their size. That would force me to hire enough drivers to keep economies a little more in balance. In Canada the large garages would cost around $22,000 / year. The small garages would cost around $18,000, just spit balling numbers. IRL taxes SUCK but in this game they would make sense. I do not bring home this kind of money IRL so I do not need help parting with it.

I know none of the developers will see this, this is just me thinking out loud.

The game as it stands has 81 garages you can buy, and if you upgrade the garages you can hire 405 drivers. I have all 81 garages and 355 drivers, 405 trucks waiting for drivers and ATS will not let me hire the required amount to fill my garages. I contacted support which gave me some lame excuse that some computers have had problems, well, let them upgrade their computer or set a minimum so that the game will not crash, but GIVE ME MY DRIVERS! The developers instead of fixing problems are broadcasting live playing the game, instead of fixing all the problems we are having. it cost me a good deal of REAL money to be ignored and making lame excuses by support. That is my rant. I have also found all Recruitment offices, and now only have 2 truck dealers left, and this is by driving to every single one without quick travel. We need to keep after these kids to repair the game so we can use it as it is intended.

You keep saying the word "we" a lot. I don't ever use drivers. Don't need them at all.

And SCS should fix what? The hired driver limit? That's working exactly as intended. Use a mod if you need more drivers that bad.

More drivers is POINTLESS. What do you do with all that cash flowing in every week?
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3034291482

$10 million a week?

ETS2 has even more cash flow.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3034289783

€20-plus million a week?


The game isn't a business simulator, it's a truck driving game for players aged 3 and upwards of all skill levels. It is not and never will be a hard-core simulation game.
SCS are aware that a vast number of drivers WILL slow down players PC's, this has been discussed many times before on here, they have to try and keep it manageable for lower-end computers, not everyone has the latest gaming PC.

Just because WE can, it doesn't mean WE should. I'm not into the technical limitations you've mentioned, but the actual need for them in gameplay.

See the mod I posted before? I'm currently on level 150 on my main profile, I have all garages but only one employee each. I'm already thinking I'm making money faster than I should - about 3 deliveries I do myself, plus the income from employees, I have enough for purchasing another 5-slot garage, hire another employee and buy him a fully pimped truck.

Personally I'd prefer if making money was harder than adding more drivers. If you hire all available drivers (even if they don't fill all garages) it already kills the progressing dificulty.

Who is "we"? Are you talking about yourself in plural?
Also, sure, let's train the community managers to be devs instead, will maybe take about 2 years to do and then it will take time to get this implemented because you can not just use pictures of people on the internet without their consent. You haven't thought your rant through now, have you?
And what do you want to do with more money that you can not spend at all? Have more of it so that your virtual money counter gets higher faster? Wow. Anything you will do with that? No? Cool.
Use a mod. Easy solution.

[async4]

I apologize for using the word "we" as I didn't mean to imply everyone. All I'm saying is, why have 81 garages, which can be upgraded to 5 bays each, and not have the same amount of drivers to fill them. Yes, the response about money is valid, as I have over $111,000,000. please don't get your panties in a bunch because I first thought that this was a simulator and not a game. I didn't intend to offend anybody. I love the game, as I am an old TT driver and it takes me back to my younger days. One day you will understand this. The replies to my post has sufficiently put me in my place, and I thank you all for your replies.

No hard feelings. But tne economy mod recommendation still applies. Try role playing a little balancing the number of employees by garage. Don't try to fill them all. Hire 5 for big cities or capitals, hire 1 for the smaller towns.
