๐Ÿ’ธ OverDrive Realistic Economy V1.0 โ€” Initial Release ๐Ÿš›๐Ÿ“ˆ

V1.0 is officially out.

OverDrive Realistic Economy is built to make ETS2 progression feel more believable, more rewarding and a bit more challenging without turning the game into a grind.

This first release focuses on the core economy:

  • Reworked Quick Job payouts

  • Much bigger income difference between working as a driver and owning your own truck

  • Rebalanced Freight Market

  • Rebalanced Cargo Market

  • More realistic garage profitability

  • More realistic fleet fuel discounts

  • Reworked AI driver operating costs

  • More realistic truck resale value

  • Rebalanced urgent delivery bonuses

  • More realistic empty return probability

  • Reworked job cancellation penalties

  • More realistic electric charging costs

  • Slower and more meaningful company progression

The goal is simple:
money should matter, owning your own truck should feel like a real step forward, and building a company should actually take time.

This is only the beginning. Future updates will expand the mod with banking, loans, truck prices, used trucks, cargo balancing, progression changes and more.
