With each new expansion of the map, we are getting closer to the implementation of complete production chains in the economy of the game. We’re not quite there yet, but the important pieces are slowly falling into place. In the upcoming Montana DLC for ATS, in addition to being able to admire the beautiful local scenery, you will also be able to drive to and from several key points that are part of the forestry process!
Since Montana’s forests cover approximately 26 million acres, it’s clear why this production cycle deserves to be featured in the state’s economy. Moreover, the need for truckers is constantly increasing due to the rapid improvement of technology and labor productivity.
It all starts with cutting down trees in logging areas, which are the most inaccessible places, as they are deep in the forest and only terrible dirt roads lead to them. You will have to haul the material along these paths and head to the sawmill where the logs are cut into lumber. After that, a brand new warehouse called “Landscape Supply” comes into play. This area is technically a garden center that will be offering a variety of seeds that will be returned to the logging sites – a move that will make everything come full circle.
