Okay thanks..

@Coming_Soon.

So am quite sure the mod is working correctly since you are getting 250xp but something you may be forgetting is that not ever delivery spot even has a "hard" parking spot. Many only have easy and medium.

Just so you can confirm. Here are the single trailer original game parking bonuses.

Original Game Values single Trailer:
Easy(autopark): 15xp
Medium: 40xp
Hard: 90xp

My Mod Values:
Easy(Autopark): 20xp
Medium: 250xp
Hard: 750xp

Just downloaded this amazing a couple of days ago, and just delivered a single trailer and I AM Not receiving any of the xp on hard parks, for me it's only 250xp each time on Hard parking.. Am i doing something wrong here?!

Thanks for this. I intend to use this on my ATS playthrough. Any chance of you making this mod for ETS2 as well?

@Alice

You're welcome. I'm glad people get out of this mod exactly what I intended. I just didn't have the time for the grind that is the base game and figured others didn't either.
Alice Stellaris Dec 8, 2024 @ 12:44pm 
Thank you so much! This really upgrades the game while not feeling like a total cheat. I really enjoy it. :rainbowlove:

I was out of town for a holiday last week. I just updated my mods to be compatible with 1.53

@烦师傅别送了

Exactly KJ's point, it's not officially released yet. MODs almost never update until the final version is out of Beta testing and available to download.

- Doesn't make sense to update the MOD a bunch of times while SCS is fixing/changing things in the Beta, which is the entire point.

- If you're going to run an Open Beta version of the game, ie. 1.53 than you're 9/10 going to run into compatibility issues, even once released you have to give these MOD creators time to update, they have normal lives that don't evolve around ATS, no need to ask for updates. Once they discover it's incompatible than it'll get updated. But just because the game updates doesn't mean the MOD is broken either.

@KJ SCS has released the public beta -Open Beta for game version 1.53:steamfacepalm:

烦师傅别送了

I don't think 1.53 is out yet. But once it comes out I'll update.
fanshifu Nov 1, 2024 @ 7:05pm 
Please for the update to 1.53, thanks
fanshifu Oct 18, 2024 @ 6:05am 
@KJ Thanks
KJ  [author] Oct 18, 2024 @ 5:50am 
Updated for 1.52, I didn't realize they moved to 1.52 for the driving test patch.
fanshifu Oct 18, 2024 @ 5:26am 
Please update version 1.52, thank you:steamthumbsup:

"Uninstall and reinstall fixed it. Sorry, was still playing after commenting." - Awesome glad that worked.

Uninstall and reinstall fixed it. Sorry, was still playing after commenting.
KJ  [author] May 22, 2024 @ 11:17am 
"I too am experiencing this." @Rooster78 - have you tried the steps I suggested below? It's hard for me to troubleshoot when I am not experiencing this issue.
Rooster78 May 22, 2024 @ 4:00am 
I too am experiencing this.
KJ  [author] May 18, 2024 @ 4:17pm 
"It still says incompatible for me"

@Max I just booted up the game and the mod appears to be active and compatible. Perhaps try unsubscribing and resubscribing. Unless other people also report this issue, I'm going to assume this is maybe an issue with your specific install and not the mod generally.

However, let me know if you're still having issues after doing a bit of troubleshooting and I'll see if I can still help in some way if I can and if needed.
KJ  [author] May 18, 2024 @ 4:11pm 
"does this still work on 1.49?" - It should work with all of the prior versions listed from 1.45 to 1.50

"It still says incompatible for me" - Ok I'll launch the game and check it out. But I do think it should be working. But I will follow up shortly.

It still says incompatible for me
gerald May 18, 2024 @ 6:31am 
does this still work on 1.49?
KJ  [author] May 17, 2024 @ 10:25pm 
Mod has been updated for 1.50.x.

Please let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks Boon of the Mac for the kind words.
Boon of The Mac May 17, 2024 @ 9:45pm 
I love your mod man. Makes the game far more enjoyable. Thank you a ton for your efforts.
Krishna 🇹🇹 May 17, 2024 @ 7:07pm

KJ  [author] May 17, 2024 @ 9:11am 
Yep I will update my mods later today.
Krishna 🇹🇹 May 16, 2024 @ 6:04pm 
Can this please be updated to the 1.50 update please i cant play ats
KJ  [author] Dec 2, 2023 @ 10:58am 
Thanks Maikoheart, that's exactly how I felt. I'm so glad SCS built their engine in a way that can be modded so heavily so people can make the game fit their personal preferences.
maikoheart Dec 2, 2023 @ 10:11am 
Thank you for this mod, I'm a more casual player and I always thought the vanilla balance was way too grindy. This is actually helping me get into the game a lot more.
julian.raya Nov 26, 2023 @ 2:56pm 
Thank you for updating! Functional on 1.49!
KJ  [author] Nov 26, 2023 @ 1:23pm 
Got back early, had some time, so I updated this and my other ATS mod.
Krishna 🇹🇹 Nov 25, 2023 @ 3:05am

jbinx28 Nov 24, 2023 @ 6:33pm 
Happy thanksgibing brother cant wait for update
KJ  [author] Nov 24, 2023 @ 6:04pm 
Sorry, it's thanksgiving in the USA which is one of the major Holidays of the year. I'm out of town for the weekend. I'll try to have this updated on Monday when I have some time.
jeffhenry00 Nov 23, 2023 @ 5:59am 
Need an update to 1.49 please
Ragu Sauce Oct 5, 2023 @ 2:36pm 
That makes sense. Appreciate your response. I haven't encountered hard spot in my new profile i guess. Thank you!
KJ  [author] Oct 2, 2023 @ 8:40am 
@Ragu Sauce, The trailer parking XP sounds correct based on what I intended. I believe you are misinterpreting what is happening in your XP calculation.

The goal of my parking XP setting was I wanted to make it so I got more XP, but I wanted an incentive to personally get better and park at the "hard" locations when available.

These are the XP values for easy, medium, hard parking:

Single trailer:

* Easy spot = 20xp up from 15xp base game.
* Medium spot = 250xp up from 40xp base game.
* Hard spot = 750xp up from 90xp base game.

Double trailers:

* Easy spot = 100xp up from 25xp base game.
* Medium spot = 750xp up from 150xp base game.
* Hard spot = 1000xp up from 270xp base game.

XP loss for trailer damage.
Lose 1% xp every 1% of damage. Base game is 4% every 1% damage.

If you want to disable the damage completely. I have a damage removal mod as well. It should be in my collection of my mods found just below the screenshot at the top of this page.
Ragu Sauce Oct 1, 2023 @ 1:56pm 
I only get 250xp for single trailer. The trailers have 1% damage which I have no idea how it happens but does the damage on trailer reduce xp from 750 to 250? If so then how do I disable it? Amazing mod overall, loving it so far, thank you!

dose this xp mode work?

Try 0 cost for fuel at your home garage. Actually all garages as they are a part of your company too. In real life no driver buys fuel for company trucks, unless they are caught and have to buy fuel at a station. Then the company reimburses the driver or he has a company credit card to use... just like it's done in Quick Jobs. The company buys it for their trucks hired drivers drive. Ask someone that drives for a company and they'll tell you the same as I did. Companies I drove for didn't make me buy fuel for their trucks. If they did no one would work for them. Your pay check would would be zero for the fuel you'd buy to run their truck. That ain't goon happen in real life.
GT182 Sep 10, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
Legal driving time IRL is 11 hours. Total work day hours are 14. Time off end of day is 10 hours now. Just a suggestion if you can or want to do it... break rest into 5 hours (can be done twice to total 10 hours) and 10 hours. Keep 11 hours driving and 14 for total for the day.
Works out very well that way. When I ran with another driver, we'd take 5 off and 5 on. All legal.
Anything else doesn't work out too well. In ATS I use the 5 hours for sleep and hit the road again.
If Fines aren't used then there's no real worry.
KJ  [author] Aug 8, 2023 @ 9:25am 
I'll try to get this updated later today, but realistically. Expect an update within the next few days.
trumpetman530 Aug 6, 2023 @ 3:56pm 
When will update for 1.48 be available?
KJ  [author] May 12, 2023 @ 5:42pm 
@FlyingDonkeys... Thirty ... Speed

Seriously though, that is a super ambiguous question. I think XP stuff was increased by roughly 25% to 50% for most things.

Just try out it, I didn't over do it. This isn't a "cheat" mod.
FlyingDonkeys May 12, 2023 @ 4:58pm 
How long does it take to level up with this mod?

Is there any way you could make a mod for more time to deliver a load ?
So we all can drive slower to stop for sightseeing and other things.
