American Truck Simulator

Fix missing server packages on an American Truck Simulator server

The dedicated server needs a package export from a loaded ATS game. Installing the server software alone does not supply your map and mod configuration. Export the two files together whenever the convoy’s content changes.

File locations used below — relative to the server root
.local/share/American Truck Simulator/server_packages.sii
.local/share/American Truck Simulator/server_packages.dat

Make the change

  1. On your PC, load the ATS profile, map and mods you want the convoy to use.
  2. Enable the game console in the local config.cfg with uset g_console "1", then run export_server_packages after the map has loaded.
  3. Find server_packages.sii and server_packages.dat in the ATS user folder. Keep both from the same export.
  4. Stop the hosted server and back up its existing package files.
  5. Upload both files to .local/share/American Truck Simulator, keeping the existing server_config.sii and token.
  6. Start the server and search for the new session ID from Console.

Check the result

If players report incompatible content, compare their enabled mods and DLC with the profile used for the export. Export again after changing the profile; renaming a package file does not change its contents.
