FUNGAMING EVENTS EXPANSION

Support Fungaming:

https://ko-fi.com/fungaming

A major random-events expansion for American Truck Simulator, featuring repaired and modernized legacy content alongside many newly created roadside scenes.

Fungaming Events Expansion enriches the roads of ATS with a larger and more varied collection of believable roadside situations. Existing content has been carefully audited and repaired for ATS 1.60, while new scenes add modern roadside assistance, recovery, inspection, maintenance and emergency-response activity.

ORIGINAL MOD CREDIT

Daniels ATS Random Events Mod is the historical and technical foundation of this project. Many original scenes, models and supporting assets were created by Daniel, also known as danbywinby, and full credit for that original work belongs to him.

Fungaming Events Expansion has since developed into its own independent ATS event package through extensive repairs, modernization and the creation of additional events.

Original creator: Daniel / danbywinby

This is an unofficial independent project and is not an official Daniel release.

MODERNIZATION AND REPAIRS

• Reworked and tested for American Truck Simulator 1.60.

• Audited supplied definitions, scenes, models, materials, textures, vehicle selectors, cutscene tokens and resource references.

• Repaired missing models, materials, signs, textures, cutscene references, invalid vehicle looks and obsolete traffic selections.

• Corrected invalid event data and restored balanced cutscene, curve and warning-sign distances.

• Improved traffic blocking, lane protection and warning layouts where required.

• Replaced the obsolete highway-helper selection with the current official SCS Highway Helper.

• Updated recovery and parked emergency-vehicle selections for current ATS traffic definitions.

• Replaced incompatible vehicle visuals that caused license-plate and model-hookup errors.

• Removed obsolete duplicate hookups and invalid legacy model looks.

• Repaired temporary-traffic-light roadworks with current ATS semaphore profiles, placement and timing.

CHARACTERS AND SCENE LIFE

• Scene-appropriate personnel for breakdown, recovery, police, highway-helper, roadwork and accident scenes.

• Workers positioned around their intended vehicles and work areas using varied, believable poses.

• Staffed support vehicles where personnel are logically expected.

• Current default ATS highway officers used in place of several outdated traffic-officer models.

• Selected older characters retained where they still add useful variety and remain correctly positioned.

• Rare time-aware unstaffed worksites represent lunch breaks, early mornings and secured sites outside working hours.

• Safe 80-metre and 120-metre temporary-traffic-light roadworks restored at a low, balanced frequency.

EVENT BALANCE

New-event occurrence weights are balanced so no single scene dominates. Events retain road-type, time, length and shoulder-space requirements to prevent unsuitable or unsafe placement.

RECOMMENDED SETTINGS

Recommended Random Road Events slider: 30–35%.

Best balanced starting point: approximately 32–33%.

Use 20–25% for quieter roads and less frequent scenes.

Settings of 50% or higher are mainly useful for testing and may feel repetitive.

The separate Detours slider controls official ATS route closures and rerouting. It does not control the random roadside scenes in this mod.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Do not enable this package together with the original Daniels ATS Random Events Mod. Use only one of them.

• The commercial-vehicle inspection is a visual AI roadside scene. It cannot inspect the player’s cargo, documents or truck.

• This mod does not alter weather, rain or fog settings.

• Some events require a suitable road-event point, road width, shoulder width or time of day and may therefore be uncommon.

BUG REPORTS AND FEEDBACK

If you encounter a bug, broken event, misplaced character, missing model or another problem, please report it so it can be investigated and corrected.

Please include:

• A clear description of the problem.

• Your complete game.log.txt file from immediately after the issue occurred.

• One or more screenshots clearly showing the affected event.

• The location or road where the event appeared, if known.

• A list of other active mods that could affect traffic, vehicles, characters or random events.

Reports containing both the game log and screenshots are much easier to investigate. Reports without sufficient information may not be possible to reproduce or fix.

ETS 2 Version is being worked on and coming soon!!!
