What this mod does

Discover North America (DNA) is a map by Astranautica and Team DNA that bundles Discover The North and American Expansion into a single download. According to its author, it covers all of Canada and the parts of the US that SCS hasn’t touched yet.

What’s included

  • Thousands of miles of roads in uncovered areas, with typical Midwest towns.
  • New Chicago and New York skylines and road layouts in Maine.
  • Realistic tolls, new border crossings and realistic signage.
  • Ontario plates and police cars (by Laqueesha).

Requirements and order

It needs Coast to Coast. The order the author asks for is DNA on top and Coast to Coast below. To add Western Canada Expansion (and ATS Expansion) there are connections by JacobKazias, which go on top. The changelog mentions connections with the South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Arkansas DLCs, but the page doesn’t give the full DLC list.

Credits and version

The author thanks Attom for “the base” and for teaching him, and says the first version started from Jacemeister’s Midwest Expansion. Version 1.8.1, released October 12, 2026, is for ATS 1.61. It has over 34,000 downloads.
