﻿[red]Real Economy Reloaded[normal]

Another economy mod. It is loosely inspired by other eco mods and is close to reality as is possible but not too much grindy plus it‘s impossible to have fully realistic game for various reasons. Mod is for players who like to roleplay. 
Currency is Euro but I updated inside game other 19 currencies to November average compared to Euro. I used ECB site and it‘s updated on 10.12.2024.

Mod supports v1.53. It doesn't work with the previous versions of the game.
Mod supports base game + all map DLCs (East + Scandinavia + France + Italia + Baltic + Black Sea + Iberia + West Balkan + Greece).
Mod supports RusMap and probably doesn't support other map mod like ProMods, TruckSim, and so on.

For the full experience:
1) Please use Realistic Fuel Consumption in Gameplay Options.
2) Don‘t use Autopass feature in Norway (read more in main info).

For the best experience, start the new profile. Basic quick info about mod:
- The prices of diesel, ferry and tolls are as IRL.
- Reworked loans and added insurance.
- Reworked traffic fines.
- Reworked experience, rewards and revenues.

***PLEASE don‘t reupload mod outside Steam Workshop! Thank you.***


Main info about mod aka FULL changelog:
1) Diesel prices are as IRL. https://de.globalpetrolprices.com/diesel_prices/Europe/ is used as source and are mostly regularly updated (once per week).

2) Ferry prices are adjusted as IRL for standard cars. Ferry prices for lorries (freight) are too much for game simulation! It‘s updated for the April 2024 average from directferries.ie and it is updated once per month when they publish average prices. Only exception is Esbjerg – Hull as it doesn‘t exist any more.
Corrected time travel for many routes to be as IRL.
Eurotunnel Le Shuttle prices are as IRL for standard cars. I used July average from directferries.ie and it is updated once per month when they publish average prices.

3) Tolls are also adjusted as IRL as of August 2017. One year later they are basically the same.
In Austria, Arlberg tunnel is 16,51 €, Bosrock is 8,79 €, and Gleinalm is 21,43 € (average for all emission classes and day/night). 
Polish tolls are payed per km, exhaust emission limits and weight. I used over 12 t and E5 class (0,06 € per km). 
Italian tolls are 0,16 € per km (average between classes 4 and 5). 
French tolls are calculated by me ~0,27 € per km (class 4) except for 4 separate routes but they are similarly priced. 
Oresund Bridge (Sweden) is 66 € for lorries (yearly passage but ofc not possible in the game) and Storebaelt Bridge (Denmark) is 158 € for lorries. 
For Norway I used viamichelin.com x2 for vehicles over 3,5 t as per autopass.no. If you use Autopass you‘ll pay more as is in vanilla game because it‘s hard coded and can‘t be changed.

4) Loans can be taken at 50k, 150k, 350k and 850k size. 
Interest rate is very low as IRL.

5) You can take the first loan after 10 quick jobs and when you hit lvl 3. Limit is 150k.
At lvl 7 limit is raised to 700k, at lvl 12 to 1.700k, at lvl 20 to 3.400k, and at lvl 36 at 7.650k.

6) Added insurance (copied from ATS; values are changed) but it's not like a real insurance...

7) Some traffic fines are much lowered:

avoid weighing is 350 // illegal trailer is 500 // avoid inspection is 450 // illegal border crossing is 1000 // hard shoulder violation is 150 // damaged vehicle usage is 250. 

8) Increased timer for some traffic offences and adjusted probability. There is no socialist scaling of fines based on experience level as is in vanilla game.

9) Increased experience points for the next level but not to be too much grindy.

10) Introduced slight wear of cabin and chassis and lowered wear of engine, transmission and wheel to be more realistic (most IRL lorry engines are services at 120k km).
