# How to Install the Coast to Coast (C2C) Map in ATS

> Expand your ATS world to encompass the entire USA. Learn how to correctly install and configure the Coast to Coast map mod on your FREAKHOSTING server.

## Expanding the Map: Coast to Coast

The Coast to Coast (C2C) mod is one of the most ambitious community projects for American Truck Simulator (ATS), adding thousands of miles of meticulously detailed roads and expanding the playable area to cover the entire United States. Deploying this on a server enables your community to embark on truly epic cross-country hauls, spanning from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

## Technical Prerequisites

Before initializing the installation, confirm that your server environment and all participating drivers meet these specific requirements.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="DLC Requirements">
    Most iterations of the Coast to Coast mod require **all official SCS map DLCs** to be active. If any driver is missing a required expansion, the server will reject their connection attempt.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Version Alignment">
    You must use the specific `.scs` mod files that correspond to your server's current game version (e.g., ATS v1.51). Attempting to load an outdated or incompatible mod version will lead to immediate server instability or crashes.
  </Tab>

## Installation & Deployment Workflow

Follow these precise steps to enable the Coast to Coast expansion on your FREAKHOSTING server.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload Asset Files">
    Upload the C2C `.scs` files into the `/mod/` directory of your server using the [Game Panel](https://panel.freakhosting.com) File Manager or an SFTP client.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate Mod Manifest">
    For Convoy mode, you must register the mod within the `server_packages.sii` file to ensure the server correctly broadcasts the required assets to joining players.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Establish Load Priority">
    In your configuration, ensure the Coast to Coast mod is loaded **after** the base game assets but **before** any localized map expansions or state-specific cosmetic mods to prevent geometry conflicts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize and Validate">
    Restart your server via the console. Monitor the initialization logs to ensure the map sectors are loaded into memory successfully.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  ### Managing Game Updates

  Map mods are exceptionally sensitive to official game engine updates. Whenever ATS receives a major patch, the Coast to Coast mod will likely require an update from its developers. We strongly recommend creating a backup of your world save before applying any updates to prevent data loss.

## Advanced Map Management

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Resolving State-Border Invisible Walls">
    If players encounter invisible walls at state lines, it usually indicates a load order conflict. Verify that no other map mods are overriding the C2C sector data in your `server_packages.sii`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Optimizing Large Map Performance">
    Running a map of this scale increases the server's memory footprint. If you experience performance dips, consider reducing the max AI traffic count or limiting the number of simultaneous active mods.
