[SCS Blog] Kansas - Colby & Hays

[SCS Blog]

Today we're happy to share with you not one, but two cities from Kansas, our in-development map expansion for American Truck Simulator! From local industries to landmarks, let's delve into what these areas can offer truck drivers. 

Colby 

Nestled in-between the High Plains, where the horizon stretches as far as the eye can see, is the city of Colby. Established in 1884, it has grown into a progressive agricultural community predominantly featuring farming industries. From farms, to machinery services to livestock auctions, there is no shortage of work for drivers looking for a job!  

If the fields aren't for you, you'll also find a supermarket, car dealer and a new dynamic depot nearby; and whilst you're in town, why not take a moment to admire the sights! Near the city limits, you'll find the visitor centre, also known as the 'Grain Bin' thanks to its unique design which incorporates traditional Kansas limestone with a a real grain bin. 

From there, you'll come across other prominent landmarks such as the Thomas County Courthouse, the First Presbyterian Church, the Pioneer Memorial Library and the Colby Mall. Be sure to explore a little when you do pass by, you'll never know what you might find! 

Hays

Welcome to Hays, a city where history, education, and natural beauty can all be found! Located amidst the rolling plains of the Sunflower State, Hays invites you to explore its captivating blend of past and present.

Founded in 1867 as the southern branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, it has become a bustling city with a variety of local industries. On your visit in American Truck Simulator, you can find jobs to and from the battery factory, local city works, a dynamic parking depot, car and truck dealer, furniture and supermarket stores. On the outskirts of the city, you'll also find a Steel metal depot, Oil Service and a  Livestock Farm.

If you happen to find yourself in Hays with some downtime, why not check out the local landmarks and attractions? Here you can find a Movie Theater with an accompanying art mural, statues of some of Hays' personalities, the Hays Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 9076, the Hays Public Library and more. 

No matter which city you choose to visit first, history and industries await you on the road! We hope you enjoyed this insight of what is to come with the Kansas DLC. If you like what you see, be sure to add it to your Steam Wishlist! Until next time, keep on truckin'.
