You have 75 km between Thorshavn and Klaksvik
I'd imagine max 4-5 companies in all, Klaksvik can easily be a company and nothing else
2 companies in Thorshavn is too much imo better to have them outside the city

I agree with this.
The Faroe Islands are nice, but you need to think about SCALE in ETS 2!
So my suggestion is just a small stop in Tórshavn, with (maybe) a company and a service station. Maybe you can put a countryside-road in, leading to Euro-Acres (Again, just a suggestion).

I don't have a problem with one company in Thorshavn and one in eg Klaksvik, never intended FO should have 20 companies ;-)
It's just possible locations, most intersection should be "blocked", but roads can be needed for the scenery

Cool, but at least move the 2nd company to a community a bit larger than Kaldbak ;-)

I have tried to represent this in my conept plan of Faroe Islands. Just 1 company + garage & ferry port in Torshavn, and farm company outside of Torshavn (+/- 30 ingame kms). And I think, this is enough for Faroe Islands.
Anyways developers can't add all cities and roads in Faroe islands, due of scale.

Does such a ferry exist? Trongisvagur-Reykjavík?

My main struggle is that no matter what you make in the Faroe Islands, it's too few to make it interesting. What's the point of doing a 1-day ferry trip just to reach an island with 1 city with a very few companies? Can't even make a decent trip on the Faroe Islands itself, so any job will involve another 1-day ferry to either Iceland or mainland Europe.

Arggh my bad, It's Thorshavn-Trongisvagur, don't know why I wrote Reykjavik, sorry about that one ;-)

Placing the 2nd company in Klaksvik could do the trick

I mean maybe it's not the greatest financial decision, but I'd do it for the same reason I go anywhere in this game: not for imaginary Euro points but for the scenery and the adventure of driving through a beautiful place.
