ProMods The Great Steppe v1.7.0: Further into Turkmenistan

Now that we’ve set foot in Turkmenistan for the first time in our most recent edition of The Great Steppe, we’ve been working hard; and we’re ready to show you what’s coming next. Version v1.7.0 takes us further into this remote and fascinating corner of Central Asia, with new locations, infrastructure, and a refresh to an area you may already know.

Located just outside Turkmenbasy, Gyýanly is a sparsely populated town shaped almost entirely by the oil and gas industry. We’ve taken some special focus on attention to detail through this one. See if you can spot some of the details we’re keen on adding.

And that’s not it! This is an important hub for supplying the region’s population, but it’s also a place to pause; stop by the local mechanic, fill up your tank, or simply take a break before pushing on through the desert.

Travelling between Garabogaz and Gyýanly, you’ll cross the Garabogaz Bay Bridge; a structure that has recently been completely rebuilt and expanded in real life.

The remains of the old bridge are still visible alongside it, and as you continue through the desert, you’ll notice that a great deal of infrastructure work is currently underway across the stretch between Turkmenbasy and the Kazakh border.

Getting accurate reference material from a region like this is no small challenge; but some time ago, we made a breakthrough and came across a wealth of new, up-to-date material from Garabogaz.

With v1.7.0, we’re beginning to bring the city itself and the route to the border up to current standards, working towards the most authentic experience we can deliver.
There’s more still to share about v1.7.0, and we look forward to telling you more soon. As always, we thank you for your continued support.
