Duisburg map edits which will allow duisburg to have much more space and help deal with congestion

[dragonslayingmaster1000]

Suggestion Name: Duisburg map edits that could really help to get rid of congestion

 

Suggestion Description: The service station and lkw is especially the problem. The service station entrance is very tight ever since germany was reworked and people get stuck on the fences often so the fences should be removed. I have some ideas of some small map edits and new roads around duisburg in the screenshot below. 

 

Any example images: http://prntscr.com/mvkvcx (red roads are 4 lanes and orange is 2 lanes, green means the intersection is traffic light controlled) 

 

Why should it be added?: So people don't get stuck trying to get in and out of the service station. Duisburg is way too small to hold 100+ players and I believe these map edits will provide useful alternate routes to get into the service station and help with congestion.

Dear @dragonslayingmaster1000

 

Unfortunately today I am going to have to reject your suggestion as it is something that has been suggested many times in the past.

 

Please look at this:

Add mod *:
Generally, we don't add 3rd party mods except for aesthetic ones, this is because map mods bring a whole lot of different issues that we necessarily can't handle. Mods that affect the truck are also generally not accepted since they can have unexpected consequences similar to what we see with save file editing (parts in locations where SCS didn't intend causing crashes, etc.).

 

The major blocker is the distribution of mods, the larger the mod, the harder it is to distribute. P2p would be an "easy" way, though it still requires infrastructure, in distributing the winter mod, we recently had support from 10gbps.io, even then we pinned a 10Gb port for hours on end, imagine that we'd need that kind of beef every time we updated the mod. Even if we'd get the tail to come quicker, the initial seed is necessary. Add to that, you have to provide a backup since many networks disallow p2p traffic.

 

We could put the mod behind a paywall, but this is something we rather not, we believe that this mod should be freely available to anyone, with the only requirement being a purchase of either ETS2 or ATS.

More slots on the server:
This is something many people complain about, and we hear ya, we want it too, there's an issue we've not yet been able to nail down. We will increase the limit the moment we can.
