Job generator

[getrixx]

Today I was wondering if something like a "job generator" exists or would even be possible
I give you an example. I arrived in Lyon from LeMans and wanted to go on in France.
Instead I only got jobs >1500km to Russia or Scandinavia.
Same when I'm driving in GB. I get freight to GB and afterwards no "national" job within the country.
Only loads where I take the ferry and land in Norway or Netherlands.
(That's the reason why most parts of GB are unexplored by me.)

Since it is a "simulator', I like the idea of "simulating" fixed routes. For example Antwerpen - Milano and back the other day.

So basically a tool where you can set some parameters, like destination, load, and available time.
Because I don't have a clue how these jobs are generated in-game I ask you here in the forum.
Maybe other players find it useful or maybe I'm just plain stupid.

I see what you're getting at; interesting idea. Maybe a developer could comment on the feasability of a program which would insert a specific job into the economy.

Currently, the more "Long Distance" you have "earned," the longer distance jobs offered. Unfortunately, "shorter jobs" are no longer offered.

There is no good reason why SCS should so limit job offers this way! They need to remove the lower distance restrictions and open up all jobs up to the maximum "Long Distance Level" you've earned.

That's not entirely true is it? I'm sure I get offered both short and long jobs every time. I'm level 75 (or something) and this morning after doing Carlisle to Venezia I got a run from Venezia to Parma. From there I went to Glasgow and now I'm on my way back to Venezia. I have got Jazzy's trailer pack mod installed but I'm sure I was getting less than 500k runs before that was installed.

I second that - I get all sort of distances on job offers.

But it depends on the "size" of your current town: I noticed that on small towns (with less companies) you often get all job offers within the same distance range (short/middle/long). But in bigger cities (with more companies) I usually get a good mixture of all distances and destinations.

Search for jobs in cities nearby, problem solved
NB! You can sort the joblist after shortest distance ascending
Miy is usually best price per distance

I'm a bit anal retentive about things, and don't just take random jobs and starting cities. If I'm in Glasgow, then I will only take jobs from Glasgow to somewhere else.

What I'm describing only applies if you have all of the Long Distance skills applied. Under these conditions I almost never see job offers under 400km distance. I should be offered every job from the very shortest, which may only be from Glasgow to Glasgow, up the the maximum distance.

Instead, I only see jobs between 400km and 2,000km.

I do the same thing, I don't travel from city to city empty just to pick up a load and I still see a variety of loads from 3000km runs to the round the corner runs that don't see me leaving the city I am in.

I know I'm digging in old threads, but I have a very good reason.
Looks like there is now a mod which does exactly what I wanted.

As I am currently on the roads of Rusmap I only tried a small trip from Orel - Kursk - Voronezh - Moscow.
For the moment it looks like there is a small bug because I got paid >100.000€ for one small trip.
Maybe it's because of Rusmap, I will see when I am back on Promods roads.
For the rest it works how it should!

Looks cool
