[October 2025] Still 99.99% on Promods (1.56 update)
Promods 2.76 for ETS 2 1.56 brought new content to the mod but did not fixed isuues with undiscoverable spots so the status of my discovered items is still 99.99%. I’ve shared this progress on the ETS 1.55 and you can grab it to use on 1.56 but it be kind of 99.53% and you can do the rest on your side. This time I will not do the video and share the strings since the subject is not so popular among my subscribers. On the video below you can find 1.55 progress and also I’m sharing the link to guide how to merge profiles.

100% discovered study 09.29.2025
My golden rule is Every Road Must Be Traveled, Map Have To Be Discovered. So since 2017 I do it almost on every game update including all expansions and reworks. This obsession has driven me through countless game updates, expansions, and complete map reworks across both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. When you switch to another profile and don’t want to start map discovery from the scratch it is possible to transfer opened road to another profile. So I do it sometimes with newer profiles for both games (ETS2 and ATS) and also periodically share my progress in Youtube guides
The new update 1.56 for both games has been released recently and I made updated guides.

How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – Guide
In this guide I explain how to merge several profiles map discovery progress on example of merging vanilla 100% and Roextended 89% profiles on ETS2 1.53. You can try this scheme on 1.56 and in both ETS2 and ATS. Below you can find link to text version, tools and also ready strings used in this video (updated to 1.56).
Guide:
1. Reason
Merge discovered items in two profiles let you have updated visited roads in the end even if you exploring maps on different profiles. Also when the new version of the game is being released you can again discover as much as possible and then merge with your old combined profile.
2. Preparations and tools
Download and install software we plan to use – TS SE Tool, Notepad++, make sure that you have mods in mod folder if you plan to merge mod’s profile, make sure that Steam cloud disable for all profiles which will be changed, check config file if you can decrypt game files (g_save_format 2) and can use console (uset g_developer 1, uset g_console 1) and so on.
3. Backup
Backup all the profiles to the separate drive before doing any manipulations.
4. Profiles job
Enter to the profiles you wish to merge and save game to locate desired profiles by timestamp. You should carefully pick correct profiles. Decrypt profiles one by one and open game.sii in each mergeable profile and copy all discovered items to new text file (in this file we will merge them). We can merge 2 or more profiles but don’t forget that it should be from the same version of the game.
5. Merge (most important part)
When all discovered items strings pasted to the text file we have to change the order of numbers – the way as game read each string. Start from removing left part of the string (discovered_items []: ) with Notepad ++ command Find and Replace (Ctrl+C). On the Find what enter discovered_items \[\d+\]: and keep blank on Replace with (we have to remove them). Do not forget check Regular Expression in Search Mode. Replace all and you will get list of numbers. On this step you can also remove duplicates. Now we have to return discovered_items []: text with empty brackets. Alt+C and choose Text to insert and place there discovered_items []: and push ok. On the next step we have to add numbers to the brackets with correct order from 0. Select all in bracket spots (Choose first one and with Alt+Shift select last one) and again Alt+C and choose Number to insert – Initial should be 0, increased by 1, format decimal. Push ok and wait. If you have lot of string it can take a while. When all numbers added to brackets we can remove redundant spaces. Now we can copy strings and paste them to the target profile where will me merged result.
6. Results we get
We have to see discovered roads from 2 or more profiles we combined.
7. Back to play Load from profile where strings added and if you see desired result you can back to game but please bare in mind that recruitment agencies are not gonna work with this method so if you want to hire drivers you game will probably crash. To avoid it hire drivers before profiles modifications.

The new update 1.56 for both games has been released recently and we have blank spots in vanilla maps with DLCs.
Current Discovery Status:
Euro Truck Simulator 2: 99.97% complete
American Truck Simulator: 99.99% complete
These percentages are based on the previous 1.55 version with all available map expansions
While I may update my guides later but if you follow my Youtube and blog you can achieve 100% completion on version 1.56 quickly, before the next wave of road reworks or DLC releases arrive

Please note that these files are actual for current state of the game in August 2025 on ATS 1.55 and can be partially will work on later versions but always check if the new update available for this topic.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

All My Eurotruck Map Discovery Story
I decided to create a podcast-style episode about Euro Truck Simulator 2, focusing on its map expansions and my personal journey through the years and various versions of the game. Since version 1.55, one of the most challenging ETS2 achievements – Pathfinder – has undergone a significant change. Previously, obtaining this achievement required discovering 100% of the map, which was an incredibly demanding task. Now, you only need to drive 40,000 kilometers, which is much more achievable if you’re an active hauler. I actually earned this achievement back on March 7th, 2017, right after the Vive La France DLC release. This was during version 1.26, when the European map was considerably smaller than it is today.
Footages in the video taken from videos available on the channel, the latest one is for 1.54 – but if you see it later always check if the new updates available
If this video get at least couple thousand views (not sure it is possible) I will do the same for my American journey which is more saturated with DLCs.
New Rules in ETS2 Achievements.
You don’t need to explore 100% of map to get famous Pathfinder achievement. As well as I’m a GPS and other tough Steam trophies for ETS2. With the release of 1.55 for Euro Truck Simulator 2 SCS redesigned achievements system and even if you have all map DLC it is much easier to get them.
100% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.55 (Save game) and tutorial
With the new version of Euro Truck Simulator 2 1.55 we got new features but map have not been affected so the guide for 1.54 is still actual in July 2025. I’m not sure about profile so deleted link to it but game.sii strings are ok.
How to do it? You can see on another videos like one below for instruction. All map DLC required
