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

Below you can find latest guides for update 1.56 for both games.

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.

How to Merge Map Progress in Profiles for ETS2 and ATS – Guide

0 commentsAmerican Truck SimulatorEuro Truck SimulatorMapsMods1.56100%100% discovered map2025ETS2full mapGuideMap discoverymap modmergeprofilePromodsRoexRoExtendedTrucksimvanilla ets2

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

Obviously after release of ETS 2 1.55 and new Promods 2.75 the progress wont be 99.99% and newly added areas have to be discovered and maybe this time I will reach 100% (probably – no). I’m sharing my progress again on the end of 1.54 cycle, but I’m sure if you grab this one on 1.55 you will be somewhere on 99%. Below you can also find the link to guide how to merge profiles.
