I too stopped by to ask this question, only to see several others had asked it before me :o So I will answer with what I believe to be the truth.

From my perspective, it doesn't seem like there's a much of a point to rebuilding Luxembourg at the moment. The reason is because, in a word, Germany. Much of Luxembourg's road connections are to Germany; moreso than any of the other countries that share a border with Luxembourg, which include France and Belgium. Now if you look at the German-Luxembourg border, it's currently a little... sparse. This is not the fault of the devs, but it's only because SCS really didn't build anything south of the complex of cities that we have along the Rhine. Now in reality, there's plenty of cities that could be included here, including Saarbrucken and Cologne, but that's for another topic (the ARP if you aren't familiar with it).

Getting back on topic now, I don't know if it's very practical or even possible to rebuild Luxembourg without these key features in place, mostly because you'd have a lot of roads going absolutely nowhere, and holes that need to be filled. So while Belgium may be done (or almost, I hope something is done about Liege but all in good time I suppose :P ) this is in no way an indicator of the overall progression of the BRP.

So as a good chunk of devs like to say: It's ready when it's ready.

There is also another reason for why we dont rebuild Luxembourg: DLC France. If you didnt know, the map is divided in sectors. Well, Luxembourg sectors are mixed with sectors in France, and since SCS is going to rebuild the entire country, we dont want to do something that we will lost in the near future

If that's the case, then why was there new interchange around Strasbourg in 2.1?

Because that interchange was done for some time, and creating a simple interchange is not the same amount of work as a full rebuild ;)

Cologne (Köln) has been part of the game since day one. ;)

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.
