Realistic Economy by Quper · ATS Hard Mod
Realistic Economy by Quper rebalances freight economics and company progression. It changes both how much you earn from deliveries and how much you spend on fuel, garages, and running a fleet.
Freight economy
Payouts for Quick Jobs, the Freight Market, and the Cargo Market have been reworked. The fixed portion of each payout and the distance-based rates have been adjusted. This changes how short and long hauls compare, giving you more reason to weigh each offer against the cost of the trip.
Fuel and exchange rates
Fuel prices reflect regional differences and are refreshed using available market data when releases are prepared. Exchange rates are updated separately, so prices displayed in your selected currency use the mod’s current rates.
Garages, loans, and company growth
Garage purchase and upgrade prices, loan terms, and hired-driver earnings and expenses have been revised. When expanding your company, both the upfront investment and ongoing fleet costs matter.
Fines and job commitments
The mod adjusts base traffic fines and the penalty for abandoning an accepted job. Real-world penalties inform the base amounts when an offence has a comparable real-world counterpart. The final charge depends on the game’s multipliers.
Used trucks and experience
The used truck market has revised mileage, condition, and pricing settings. Experience rewards for deliveries and parking, as well as the requirements for levelling up, have also been adjusted.
Hard
For players who want a tougher economy. Main freight rates are about a fifth lower than in Standard, garages cost more, and fines have a greater impact. Expanding your fleet takes longer.
