Well I have a few hours into Satisfactory now and enjoying it. What have you all been playing?

I recently got a triple monitor setup finally hooked up and configured. I hadn't played American Truck Simulator in a long time, but I picked up the Midwestern states on sale. In the evenings, I've been enjoying exploring those routes, making deliveries as part of their Halloween event and listening to tunes.

That sounds pretty chill. How accurate is it? I assume they are using real maps for the roads but how is the filling out of the environment around the roads?

Eh.. It's not particularly accurate per se. The map is scaled down quite a bit (in-game time is altered accordingly), so not using real maps. Some more major routes are represented and you may see some landmarks you recognize if you're in a familiar area.

It's fun to see their take on these areas (their team visits the US, checks out a state, then creates that as DLC), but you'll probably be laughing at just how short the drive from point A to point B is in an area you know and wonder where the missing areas went.

Simulator - nah. Chill way to unwind with some tunes and drive at a leisurely pace - yep.
