How goes your cities?I just saw some youtuber gushing about the electricity features for CS:2 they've "nationalised" from W&R. He thinks they're the hottest shit lmao. The only thing the CS:2 devs seem to have innovated on is battery buildings, which i don't think were a thing in the W&R time frame.
I maxed out at 198,000,000 rubles in debt before I finally got everything stabilized.
Wish I could get a full screen version of the minimap so I can make a decent map of my rail lines
>>1506262yeah it's a pretty good feeling when you start to stabilise your finances
>>1506262>198,000,000 rubles debt before breaking evenWhat in the actual fuck anon? Did you build a nuke power plant setup for your starter industry while on easy money? Some generic ass clothing setup would have set you back maybe 3 mil in total for the same effect
>>1506246If a factory (brick) has a direct connection to an open storage (for bricks) is not necessary to have forklifts? I'm genuinely confused about forklifts and storage
>>1506296no forklifts needed. in fact i've not built any forklifts for ages. forlifts are for when you have buildings too far apart or too awkwardly angled to have a direct factory connection - you can then connect them via factory connections with intersections. however, they're phenomenally inefficient compared to, say, transporting the resources between a building with lorries, as well as being a ballache to set up
>>1506291It's 160 years in to the game, it was just an endless game of catchup trying to get ahead of wear and tear and vehicle replacement and this and that. Would get out of debt and then stumble right back in to it thinking I had better ability to pay it back. Got very panicky and almost broke down and cheated the debt away
big belarussian dumpers
>>1506296The factory will output bricks to the storage or its own internal storage in an effort to keep them at the same % fullness. Vehicles at the storage or the brick factory will have access to both storages and will draw from them both attempting to keep both at the same % fullness. Something connected to the open storage like a road cargo station will only have access to the open storage so bricks will be left untouched in the brick factory. This doesn't affect production but it will result in bricks that remain in the factory which bothers a lot of people for some reason.
>>1506313Now that we can feed the gravel processor with conveyors the truck size is less relevant because we can just fill a storage 100% of the time instead.Note that certain forum personalities are complaining about this improvement because it removes the challenge of making gravel.
Soon we will begin the export of alcohol.
Is there no way to transport sewage and drinking water with helicopters or trains? I'm building a coal outpost high in the mountains, but supplying it by road is going to be troublesome.
>>1506519Pipes are not an option?
>>1506527Hmm, I don't know if water pumps can handle such massive elevation but I can try. Still gonna need to deliver fuel for garbage trucks though, and my build space is really limited so I guess truckin' is the only option. For reference, this is where I'll be building my mine and maybe the processing plants too if they fit.Also>mine has a conveyor connection, presumably for waste offload>processing plant doesn'tIf I don't build the plants I can connect directly to a railway dump and skip trucks altogether. Decisions, decisions.

This game scratches an itch that Victoria 3 tried and failed to scratch. It's actual economics.If there was a war mod, it could be something like a "front line" appears over parts of your country. Buildings near the front line suffer damage and go out of action. You have to build military buildings near the front line, and supply them with munitions to push the enemy back. Kind of like Factorio?
Thankfully you are not a game developer.
>>1506543I think if you put a small water tower at points along the road followed by a pump it would be able to handle it, running a sewage line will be easy
am i killing my people by dumping the sewage in a lake 400m from their houses?
>>1506900Build a pollution meter or if you're playing the beta check the health tooltip.
I'm gonna try this game. Any essential mods?

>>1507117If you've paid attention, the game's community harbors a small number of seriously dedicated spastics who are deeply amused by their own "comedy." They cross pollenate between the Steam Discussion forums, the WRSR Discord and this very board, presumably because they are terminally online autismos and there's very little audience for their shenanigans.

Can someone explain vehicle maintenance to me? For example, I built my repair station next to a tram end station so all trams recieve maintenance, and the service truck of the repair station often visits distribution offices and construction offices, but how do I make my bus lines recieve maintenance as well? They don't seem to visit the repair station by themselves and even when I click the repair button in vehicle menu they don't actually visit it, I have to send them to depo manually so a service truck would visit them there and that's no good.
>>1507389Do you have the "Allow repair in building (vehicles on lines" box checked? If so they should stop in when they need repairs automatically if it's near the route
>>1507390I did check it, and the entirety of the bus line in question falls into the repair station's are of operation. I have a lot of road vehicles though, so maybe the station is bottlenecked and I should build another one?
>>1507403That might be it
I swear, if I see the words "tutor" and "orphanage" in the same sentence again, there will be casualties. How is it not enough to have 3 large ones and one small one at 10k population anyway? At this point, almost 20% of my young population are orphans, did I accidentally select a 1945 start or what?
>>1507525Your mortality rate is too high. Too many adults die leaving orphans.Now you can deal with this two ways - don't build orphanages and let the children die on the street (technically the superior option), or embrace incerased crime rates and assorted bullshit by just building more orphanages.Or fix your shit so less people die in first place.
>>1507529My life expectancy is around 80 and my population has been growing steadily, I really don't get why these bastards keep spawning. Also, is there an in-game way to track orphans who don't get into orphanages? Do they just disappear/escape/die?
>>1507525You can turn that notification off in the general settings
>>1507525Orphanages are a broken system and not building them at all is the first step to fixing your problem with orphanages.Your adult citizens reproduce asexually via budding - a child splits off of them. There is no other parent. Citizens have a chance to produce children for their entire lifespan.This means the majority of your citizens reproduce at a rate above replacement level, usually producing 3 or 4 children across their entire lifetime assuming they live to about 80. (That's before the fucking mind boggling population growth you can achieve with the new Fertility tech from the Medical Uni.)However this means that when your 75 year old pensioner has a 5 year old and a 10 year old child - in addition to the 2 other children they already had in their life - that when the pensioner dies those children will be placed in to the custody of an orphanage.Any orphan that is not placed in to an orphanage automatically dies.You physically cannot maintain and operate enough orphanages to care for all of the orphans that spawn without involving yourself in a constantly expanding orphanage ponzi scheme, unless you negatively gear your birth rate - in which case your republic will collapse.This means you cannot operate truly effective orphanages, because they will always become filled to capacity and once they are filled to capacity it is no longer possible to shovel enough workers in to the orphanages fast enough to maintain 100% staffing levels, so the orphans will become disloyal criminals because the orphanage will run at the "insufficient tutors" rate, creating high criminality-low loyalty bastards. This is similar to the problem power plants used to have, which was fixed by the Devs begrudgingly agreeing to 60% of power plant staff being able to produce 90% power yields.A mouth breathing contrarian will post, "just set worker loyalty to high" because there is some weird orphanage simp gang insisting that it is in fact a good system.
>>1507173>discord>troonrageNot the thread for you, pup
>>1507593Fucking A. Well since I already built 4 orphanages, I might as well keep em around for pop growth, even if said pops will be low loyalty for some time before total media control gets to them, but I'll sure as hell disable the notifications.> it is no longer possible to shovel enough workers in to the orphanages fast enough to maintain 100% staffing levels, so the orphans will become disloyal criminals because the orphanage will run at the "insufficient tutors" rateI did some digging on the steam forums (namely here https://steamcommunity.com/app/784150/discussions/6/5135803832913123216/ ) and it seems the problem of oprhanage overcrowding leading to severe loyalty drops has been fixed last year, or at least so the people say. There's still way too many orphans around though, so while I might begrudgingly build a couple more, I'll stop chasing the pipe dream of caring for every orphan in the republic.
>>1507403Do you have a long repair queue (10+ vehicles)? That might be the issue. In case all of them are at 0% and your service vehicles are idling, that's a bug and you can fix it by saving and reloading
>>1507782Or you can cancel the queue and they'll be right back in a moment. But manage to get inside.Also very important to have a road station. Otherwise the queue of repairs will block deliveries. Leading to no one ever doing anything. Wish I knew that when the patch first came out
>>1507798They claim they fixed that, though we'll have to see. Having a road station for drop off is definitely a good idea though since Maintenance depots get super busy
Realistic mode, medium difficulty. 6000 pop, just fixing logistics before I try expand to a new city.Thanks for not putting "Workers and Resources" in the post OP, so I can't ctrl+f it from the catalog.
>>1507802Repair stations just need the amount of goods they can store increased 5-10x. The current values are ridiculous.
>>1507593I hope the devs will spend some time tweaking oprhanages since we're already so close to releaseAlternatively set an upper age limit to the child spawning of citizens
Any youtuber that you recommend watching for learning? That is not so fucking cringe or annoying (hard mode)
>>1507924No. Play the tutorials and then play the game on easy settings until you figure it out.
>>1507894small warehouse, if you're not repairing helicopters you don't need to keep aluminum in there
>>1507943The open storage vs covered storage really confused me when I first saw it, there's enough steel in there for probably a thousand road vehicle repairs but only enough electronic parts and mechanical parts for ten. It's like the dev forgot a zero or two in the covered storage value.
Is digging latrine pits an intended part of the game? Or maybe I should truck the waste at this point, but this outpost is so remote.
>>1508086Just get the mod that lets you dump waste on the ground if you're going to do stupid stuff like that. The game is designed around playing the Eastern Europe map where no terrain is more than a few hundred meters horizontally from terrain which is only a few meters above sea level; the devs apparently never considered that we would play mod maps where most of the terrain is several kilometers from water and dozens of meters above sea level.In reality the there are lots of small streams and rivers and canals suitable for dumping (hopefully treated) sewage even though they're above sea level, those don't show up in game because water can only exist at sea level. You're not really dumping it on the ground, you're just dumping it into water that is too small to display in the game.
Does station length for trains even matter? A pipe loading station is short as hell yet my much longer trains seem to have no issue with it.
>>1508086>literal shithole republic
>>1508129If a station has a loading/unloading bonus it is only applied to wagons that fit inside the station (if any part of the wagon fits it counts as far as I know).
I set my train distribution office to supply a train end station with fuel, but the distribution train just gets stuck there and doesnt offload any fuel. What am I doing wrong?
>>1508140I think the rail end station can only be supplied by a road DO.
>>1508148Fucking hell, why would they do that? I wanted my rail endstation to also act as a fuel depot for my mountain outpost so garbage trucks inside it had access to fuel but now I have to bring fuel by trucks anyway? Or I have to somehow make enough space for a train liquid station plus a fuel tank. This game is so fucking frustrating sometimes.
>>1507941>easy settingsThat just breeds inefficiency and doing sloppy work. At least do medium, you still drown in cadh at game start, but it's not completely ridicolous
NEW THREAD HERE>>1508157>>1508157
So I heard people shittalk motor wagons in the past, but where would you actually use a large capacity passenger train? People only wait on the platform for 1 hour and you can't tell a train to wait until enough passengers board so isn't it always better to have frequent smaller trains run the line?
>>1508306Mid game when you can't afford lots of small capacity trains, on a non-immediate good like coal ore.Rail in 300 people to the mines, acquire coal ore, refine at a later date and build a stockpile for winter.
>>1508310Does that mean you simply choose to deal with high unemployment numbers inbetween train arrivals?
>>1507881Winter. The 5 year fuel-sufficiency plan is completed, the current 5 year rail construction plan is underway.
>garbage can overflows>half the town diesrealistic
>>1508612I discovered the absolute torrent of shit aka biological waste that cow sheds produce. It's a nice little earner when processed into fertilizer. Better than a kick up the bum.
>>1508612>>1508617I think we should celebrate that Peter has made a poop based economy feasible
>Livestock grow up in livestock farms and requires crops to grow. It is produced at a rate of 2t of crops to 1t of livestockthis seems way too cheap
>>1507995Wait, does the repair garage need both kinds of trucks or what?
>>1508697No, and you can't even assign an open hull to the repair depot. The covered hulls carry "service material" or something which is just made up of them taking tiny amounts of the components stored at the repair depot. That's how they can use both covered and open hull goods in a single truck.
Do you guys use composting plants or let the nature run its course?
>>1508892I just import compost because it's basically free but I haven't played into any big cities on the beta patch. It's possible that waste loading speed isn't high enough to make that viable on the large scale.If you care about the large scale then the compost plant will be the way forward because cost will be irrelevant, speed of production is the key factor.
>>1508894nta but I was importing fertilizer too then one season it shot up 5x in price and I didn't realize it
Does anyone know why the train in my rail distribution office isn't doing its job? Does it have anything to do with the electricity warning right next to it? Before you ask, the distribution office and all connected stations have power
>>1509011Are your railroads electrified?
>>1509011Is the whole lenght of the railroad electrified? Did you maybe forget a tiny section somewhere without electric wiring?
>>1509022>>1509034Yes. Some of my passenger trains (electric) even drive through the station sometimes
How much of a difference does vehicle skill make?
Main road skeleton of my future steel production city is now underway (realistic mode). I've got road and rail access under construction, but they'll be something like 4 or 5km.So, can people give me strategies on building from very long distances? I think it looks like:> set up rail and road infrastructure> build temporary construction offices> use those to build resource storage, and permanent construction officesHowever, at this point, you still have to long-distance import workers, concrete and asphalt. Should I consider then using a passenger rail system to drop workers off at the new construction site?Money is no longer an issue.
Is there any way to make rail construction not take agonisingly long?
>>1509171Build your RCO near the soviet border so you could buy an EDK-300 as soon as possible
>>1509174Of course I use it for train construction, and then ferrying back-and-forth and occasional construction congestion still makes it take several years
Do I need a water pump after a water switch? (the switch is connected to a pump before)
>>1509297No.
>>1509119In case of common vehicles, it denominates speed. In case of cranes it tells you how many construction workers it can give the x5 construction speed buff to
>>1509342By speed I mean how quick the thing does its task, not movement speed. Skill relates to work speed linearly, btw
>>1509181Put the number of vehicles you intend to use +1 in the RCO so there are enough extra worker slots for constant 100% production on the vehicles you intend to use.Break up construction tasks so the track builder can spend longer driving at its max speed rather than the 23 kmh used while driving to the worksite on an under-construction section.
twinklyi do like how illuminated towns get at night with the lit walkways
>>1506900The sewage outlet can produce a small amount of pollution. I built one next to my city and i was scratching my head trying to find the cause of these mass deaths for ages till i realised it was that
>>1509542Does it produce as many tons of pollution as the sewage flow through it, or perhaps the sewage flow multiplied by sewage pollution%? In any case, that is by no means small, rather it's comparable to some of the more polluting industry buildings once your city gets big enough?
New soundtracks are pretty good, wish there were even more.
>>1509567Not sure, from my testing it seemed to be static but i think i’ve seen others talk about pollution getting worse with volume
>>1509588In my case it absolutely did grow worse with volume, to the point where I had to relocate it further from the city to avoid mass deaths.
>>1509135Construction park nearly complete. Unfortunately figuring out how to regularly supply asphalt/concrete remains a headache, and I don't think railing workers in is the best solution.
>>1506246>SHIRKERS AND REPORTERS: "SOVIET" "REPUBLIC"Lol who is the retard that put this name for a thread? I mean you clearly have the iq of a nigerian woman

>>1509836>I am annoyed by having to search using the other words from the title of the gameBig problems in your life there friendo
>>1509836So what can I do? Replace the vehicles?
>>1509840I've had mine set to cancel long idle, maybe that setting might fix it. Can't even remember when the last update was but my stations were working fine
>>1509840Wait for .20, and in the future don't overwrite your working saves by saving from a newer untested version.
if i drop off foreign workers at a transfer bus stop, how long will they sit there waiting to be picked up?

>separation plant outputs three (3) types of aggregates>separation plant has two (2) aggregate outputswhat did they mean by this
>>1510446The input, output, shape and size of all kinds of buildings is just weird. There's some things I think it's just mandatory to use the modded version of.
>>1510400yes, but I found it only started working after I had checked the box and pressed the button at the top right to manually select a vehicle to replace
>>1510446You can use a conveyor engine 1-to-3 with multiple types of aggregates at the same time. >>1510458 is silly, you never needed modded buildings besides kindergartens
>>1510476Why would you need modded kindergartens, the big one is pretty big.
>>1510492Because there was only one before and you needed them everywhere because of low capacity
I wish there was more challenge to the mid/end game, currently once you get a steel mill or oil refinery going you can never run out of money. Maybe epidemics could be harsher or you could get embargo'd on different goods and see how self-sufficient you truly are.
>>1510476Ok, you don't NEED to play the game, but more often than not it's more fun to have more options available. Capiche?
To clarify, it's just Company Town Simulator, right? Because that's how I'm gonna play it

I will gladly play it and cover my towns in DLC buildings relishing in the fact that I do so without supporting the authors in any way or form, thus doing my part to penalize them for poor decisionmaking.
>>1511129You are either Russian, in which case you should be dead in a trench somewhere by now, or you are retarded, in which case lol, lmao. They went political and so did you. If you really cared about impartiality you wouldn't mind them giving their money to Ukraine because you're paying for a product and it's their fucking choice what they do with that money.

Did anyone experience slowdowns in the last patch? Loading my save for the first time after launch the game takes literal minutes now.
>>1511206I believe they now compress the saves so loading does take a bit longer

So I just saw they added waste managment and also said that this will be the last major update before 1.0. So is it a good time to get in to the game ir should I just wait a bit more till it's finished or more polished up?
>>1512045yes, start practising now so that when 1.0 drops you can refine your start and make the republic of your dreams
>>1512066any good guides or tutorials on how to get started?
>>1512204https://www.youtube.com/@bballjo
Let's say I have two rail passenger lines, each having a lap time of ~400 seconds. One has 6 trains, one has 4, both visit the same train end station. If I set the end station to a fixed interval of 40 seconds, will my trains spread out more evenly than by using variable time?
>>1512045The game is only going to be polished and get better tutorials before it gets out of EA, it's not going to change significantly.So yes, this is essentially the final form and it's the right time to get it.
>>1512643End stations space per line not per vehicle, so you'll fuck up your spacing if you do that.
>>1512903Well fuck. I tried it already but honestly couldn't even make sense of the results so now I understand why. How come the game says fixed time is best if you use multiple lines on the same station then, how should I use it properly?
>>1512915>How come the game says fixed time is best if you use multiple lines on the same station then,Where does it say that?There's a reason variable is the default end station setting.
>>1507593>just let orphans starve because they might become criminals when they grow upEnough! I will hear no more of this capitalist nonsense.
I'll feed the orphans when parents between 25-40 years of age have 3-5 children per family, instead of one child every 21 years until they die.
>>1512963My bad, it's the wiki that says that. "Fixed time works very well when you have several different lines using the same end station, so that there will always be workers waiting at the platforms."I don't get it one bit.
>>1513344The implication is that you could used fixed time to split up the separate lines so they space evenly into their first stop where they pick up workers. So they don't bunch up there and have 3x100 pax buses trying to pick up the 150 workers that have queued.But I don't think that's how it works, the end station definitely applies its timer to each line separately on variable time. Maybe it works that way on fixed time, I don't know because I never use it.
>>1513377It would make sense that the game calculates variable-time on per-line basis and fixed time for all lines, however when I tried it my trains bunched up then departed every 20 seconds or so instead of 40 (I didn't time it precisely) so maybe the system is broken or I just don't understand something.Also, I don't understand pollution either. Like why is the highlighted area red? Everything to the east is city, no polluting industries there, no backed up sewage or garbage either.
we begin anew.
>>1513393goin double clothes line first.
>>1513389there is a wind mechanic if you click the temp guage it will switch... im not sure if this is your problem but maybe its blowing over from the industries left to right
>>1513397Wind is omnidirectional, "pollution drift clouds" are a separate mechanic. They still can't drift very far. It's more likely that anon has a full trash bin nearby.
is there any point in building a sewage treatment plant now? or is it still a chemical dump for minimal gain... as long as im dumping it far away am i still good or did they make it mandatory...
Since when did they make it so truck DO's can't unload grain into a farm? I used a medium farm+medium DO full of trucks setup in the past, but now they only offload grain into the silo and refuse to operate if I tell them to offload to the farm instead.>>1513410I wouldn't say it's worth it, it takes so much space and the alternative is to simply put your sewage discharge as far from the city as possible. An extra few hundred meters of sewage pipes is not a high price to pay.
>vital construction suddenly grinds to a halt for no apparent reason>nobody's shipping asphalt>find out my gravel processing plant went into machine replacement and got assigned only to my heli construction office, which I built before I realized it needs helipads next to every source of material and decided to forget about itIt would be really nice if there were warnings about machine replacement/reconstruction because this is the second time I'm left crippled by it, first time was my heating plant catching fire in the middle of winter and accumulating enough wear to demand reconstruction as everyone froze in their homes.
>>1513559I guess the solutions is to make redundance for each critical infrastructure.Build two heating plants, connect them to the same network but staff and supply with coal just one while reconstructing the other when the first one is close to wearingness limit, then swith in summer to reconstruct the main one.There should be a window in the maintenance office to divert automatically workers and resources to the spare plant when refurbishment begins.
>>1510458I wish there was a neat tool to just make a building bigger and as it did so, the number of outputs and inputs increased proportional to increase in floorplan size.
I need to get this message as urgently as possible to as many people as possible: all infrastructure buildings are subject to wear and tear. Even those that don't catch on fire. Even water switches and sewage tanks. They will need to be repaired which means they need valid footpath access. If you've been deleting their footpaths every run for two years like me, you've fucked up.

i've discovered a new type of traffic problemthe bus can't get out of the terminal because it's blocked by buses waiting for it to get out of the terminal
>>1515679et tu, commie?
>>1515463"The Gulag" is just the only town in the Republic with no loyalty requirements for the houses and a lower housing quality than anywhere else. Being out in the wilderness next to a lumber yard or coal mining complex is optional but encouraged.
>>1515679The other type of bus terminal with a separate entrance and exit can solve this. For the old terminal, either putting it at the end of a longer stretch of road (so that there is space for the buses to pass each other on the lanes), or putting it alongside a one-way road could solve this.For this specific instance, make that street one way so the buses turning in and out don't collide
Can someone explain end station time gaps to me? This is getting ridiculous, I have 8 DR1A's on a line and currently 7 of them are sitting in the end station while the platform is overflowing with passengers. What should I do with the end station so train wouldn't spend 90% time sitting inside. I have 3 lines visiting it if that's relevant.

Do priority switches seem busted for anyone else? I connect my power plant as a medium priority input and power incinerator as a high priority input, but whenever my incinerator runs out of waste, the powerplant fails to return to its full capacity and I start experiencing brownouts, if I demolish the incinerator then cancel it the powerplant operates at full capacity until the next batch of waste arrives. Also, if I make a low priority output connection from that switch to the border for electricity export, it will keep exporting even if my high priority output towards the republic lacks power and experiences brownouts as well.
>>1515911>>1515932Here's my signaling between the end station and the city train platform, is there anything wrong with it? (railway that goes offscreen in the lower left corner isn't operational yet)
>>1516480>chain signalsI am laughing.>blue blocks too small for the longest train to fit intoI am crying.>signalling in the top right like it's OTTDI am dying.Other than that it seems fine, but difficult to diagnose your problem without knowing where the lines are supposed to actually go. Set it to fixed time / 5s or something and see if any move. And then maybe I don't know click on one of the trains and see if it offers any suggestions as to why it's still sitting there?
>>1516480Definitely not enough room for your trains to depart from the end station correctly, and for what you want to do you need to have one in-rail and one out-rail, the current configuration of two in-rail block signals and two out-rail chain signals is definitely confusing the train logic.
>>1516487Isn't the signal system here largely the same as OpenTTD or rather Factorio? Chain signals before interesections and all that stuff? But either way, I tried setting the end station to fixed time of 5 seconds and most trains (but not all) departed in quick succession, but after returning they proceeded to gather in the end station again. Setting the fixed time to 20 seconds produced the same result. Trains don't complain about anything while inside the end station, but attempting to transfer them to depot produces a "no free railtrack" warning.>>1516507So should I move the end station so there would be enough space to accomodate an entire train between it and the junction? Wonder how to do it while trains are stuck there though.
Yeah, seems like giving the end station a clear in-rail and a clear out-rail has solved the problem entirely, thanks lads.
>>1516288It isn't and I said that in my post. Can't you fucking read?
>>1516511dude, you need to click until the signals face the direction of travel
>>1516511Just remove that signal on the "out" rail closest to the station and it might work. Maybe remove them from both the in and out rails.You don't need chain signals since the rail path signalling update a year or two ago. You used chain signals into intersections, but intersections aren't acceptable for trains to wait in under rail path signalling so they won't enter without a valid exit even if you just use a regular signal. You can replace every chain signal with a regular signal and the train behavior will be the same.The OTTD "every three tiles" style signalling at the top right is unnecessary and looks silly. You shouldn't signal a block which is shorter than the longest train which will use it.
>>1516740>style signalling at the top right is unnecessary and looks silly. You shouldn't signal a block which is shorter than the longest train which will use it.That forces a train behind it to wait twice as long to begin getting moving again as if you spammed the signals. There's no downside to spamming signals if it's a section without any junction

tiny dumpers? no thanks. for me, it's big belarussian dumpers
>>1517963I prefer being able to find things as a money sink and to save time in the late game. I'll generally fund paths & such to enable construction yards to start on actual buildings sooner. If buildings are being built too slowly due to a dearth of workers, I'll just pay for the bastard. I also tend to auto build plumbing because that can be a huge pain in the arse I play to have fun. The early game is when I'm a builder and logistics grognard, the mid game is about economic sustainability and massively scaling up output and the late is watching the city grow vast and wealthy with no monetary constraints - it's the reward for the early game suffering.
Since I'm not sure there's any vanilla way to close down all orphanages (moving them to a new orphanage will just move the problem elsewhere), alternative measures are called for

does someone have a steel mill inspo
WRSRchads, what is your preferred method of worker transportation in midgame/when you get industries like refinery or steel going? I've been using motor cars but my railways are becoming congested so I started connecting them together in pairs. Currently thinking whether to invest into a trainset or two.
>>1519283I like motor wagons for moving students or special-needs citizens from the small outlying towns into the city for university or a trip to the zoo etc. Those big industries need huge volumes of people so 500+ passenger trainsets start to make sense.
>>1519283I use motor wagons on their own express rail
Can you get paid to import waste for processing?
>>1519399Yes, hazard waste in particular is a great moneymaker early-game. I wish scrap metal was cheaper too so importing it to turn into steel was viable.

>>1519581When the warehouse reaches >20% full, the RDO sends a train to collect as much as the destination can accept. The customs house can accept an infinite amount of product and the RDO can build a train that holds a lot of product, so it empties the warehouse. This is working exactly as intended, you're just an idiot.
>>1519662i realized later that the actual mistake wasn't letting the train take all the chemicals - it was running the chemical plants with water from the water treatment plantnow i know that chemical plants can (and should) use low-quality water like fabric factories

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT ONE WAY FACTORY CONNECTIONS?
>>1520898They were added with waste disposal specifically to use with waste disposal buildings. I haven't actually given too much thought as to how they would be useful elsewhere, since you can prevent unwanted cargo types entering a building usually through its settings
>>1520898So, do factory connections actually transfer resources automatically now without having to set up forklifts? Can someone explain this for a poor comrade who is only just now trying out post- trash update?
>>1521084They've always been able to function by themselves if you know how to set them up. You will need forklifts for special, more complex setups and for saturating a storage. Your factories will pull and push stuff from/into storage buildings. In the screenshot above, the factory pulls materials from the rightmost storage and pushes them into the smaller storage (haven't played with trash yet so I don't know the names of those products).Forklifts are needed for more complex setups and for saturating a storage. Here's an old somewhat complex setup of mine.>bottom left: a storage building (warehouse), connected to a train cargo station that is not visible here>the train cargo station pushes cargo into the storage>above the storage is a forklift station, the purpose is to saturate the 1st vehicle factory with materials>steel is supplied by a train cargo station that pushes steel into the 1st vehicle factory, saturating it>when the 1st vehicle factory is saturated with materials, the 2nd one above it can pull materials from the first one without a forklift>the open storage on the left can pull materials from factories, so the vehicles are pulled onto the train that is waitingThats the basic idea. The other forklift stations are there just because of the roads. If there weren't roads in the way, I could just use forklifts to move all the materials from the first vehicle factory into the shipyard, saturating it, and then a passive factory connection could pull those materials into the train factory.

Did they increase the speed allowed on snowy roads? My trucks are suddenly driving a lot faster to a construction project that is on the other side of the map.
>trash container overflows>800 people dieis simply price of progress comrade
Seems they added dynamic cable connections to power transformers/power plants. The game now automatically connects power wires between the building and the power pole. The vanilla buildings however still have their connection points right next to the building so you really can't see the cool little effect. I made a quick change to the vanilla switch by moving the connection points further out and now you can see the effect. Can't wait for the devs/modders to take full use of this to create beautiful power connections.

what mod map you've guys think would work best for a realistic playthrough? Most of the good flat ones I've found so far seem to either have crappy neighbor connections or early game resources like coal & gravel 2 miles up the side of a mountain

I'm using this map for my first realistic playthrough:https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2986240069It's nice and flat and has plenty of gravel and coal near the starting area. Iron is a lot more sparse though, so it will still provide some late game challenge.
>>1525296>>1525546
I had no idea small pumps sucked as much as they do
They didn't suck nearly as much water out of the well as I thought they would.
You have to take elevation into account.If you're pumping uphill you better make sure to use a regular pumping station with big pipes to another reservoir (preferably a water tower) at the highest point, and use that as your water distribution hub. Only then using small pipes can be advisable.
Even regarding elevation, turns out small pumps have 1/3rd the throughput of a large pump. Meaning a small pump on level terrain can never saturate a large pipe, but a large pump can

Is it worth making 4-highways and interchanges for the late game? right now my republic just has regular asphalt roads and roundabouts. I have 10k population spread out to 3 towns and have yet to see considerable traffic even with using alot of buses and construction/supply vehicles using the roads
>>1528363no
>>1528363I think it is. The resources to double the size of the highway is minimal and the benefit of having a dedicated road for each direction adds up once your vehicles start breaking down

Is there any case where building low quality apartments make sense? I'm tempted to do so, but I can't help but shake the feeling that its not worth it due to how much of a happiness penalty you'll incur unless your playing on the easiest satisfaction setting.
>>1531194No.I wish this game had a quality system so that any flat could be built of any quality if you used higher quality materials.
>>1531235Either that or make the happiness penalty less severe. What's the point of these buildings if they never get used?
>>1531194Anything over 75% is usable, just not optimal. You'll lose a few points of happiness which means a few points of productivity but that's it.>>1531990If you only make optimal decisions in this game you probably won't have as much fun, something like Factorio is better for autistic min-maxing.
>>1531194The use case for low quality apartments is generally funneling population to priority areas rather than letting them fill in haphazardly.This is an issue that only really emerges once you have a sustained population greater than 10,000 or so which, for many considerations, usually indicates that you have "won" the game. Once you surpass 10k, you can get irregular waves of births and deaths that can cause unexpected depopulation throughout the Republic. This is caused by the large number of children every generation of citizens give birth to and their propensity to flood residences with tightly clustered age groups who all die at the same time.I am generally speaking about the apartments with quality in the mid 70's as opposed to apartment complexes with 90% or so quality. The "low quality rural flats" in the small housing category still somewhat baffle me, and I would like to play around with them some time to see if they have a sensible use case, because they seem self-defeating.
>>1531178yeah, couldn't this, couldn't that, what if the world were made of pudding? the devs are hard at work adding 6 types of recyclable waste to the game, and you're complaining about stuff like the elderly having kids, factory connections randomly failing, and rail builder pathfinding being broken after 2 years? have a little respect

what can I do about a worker shortage? My town is still being built and there isn't enough foreign workers at the border to fill up my clothing factorydo I just have to force build a couple of residental buildings in town? I'm starting to run dangerously low on money
>>15337552 fabric factories is overkill. 1 fabric will power two clothes. You should definitely try to get workers asap. It looks like you’ve wasted a ton of money on rail road. I usually can’t get my workers in until the summer of 63. Also, I would recommend a road cargo station connected to the warehouses since you will have to deliver crops and chems regularly.
>>1533822fuck, I must have gotten the factories mixed up when I was building the place, guess I'll have to demolish this whole thing..>It looks like you’ve wasted a ton of money on rail roadmostly wasted on auto building, terraforming and idling while having no exports set up, bought the game couple days ago so I'm still learning about all the systems
>>1533842>rail I just meant that you wouldn’t really be able to use it early on. It’s possible to run the fabric factory with only trucks at first. Like I did here>>1530192
>>1528363Yes. I got 20k people and a fuckload of industry, and my highways allow me to just cart bullshit across the map with trucks, without having to consider faggot shit like building rail to any place which isn't my steel/aluminum setup. It's also very aesthetically pleasing and only costs me a single 20 slot construction office on automatic road building duty to construct at a steady pace. As for interchanges: You build a few models and then just copy and past them wherever you need them.
>>1533755>highway without interchanges>rail instead of small harbor >very likely not realistic mode>>>>>>>>>>running an industrial complex on foreign workersAllright, bucko. First you build a construction yard with brick, steel, wood and panel storages. Then you build a 3-4k residents town, then you build industry. Rail is shit early game because of high opportunity costs, especially if you play on hard money. As clothes don't require much transport volume apart from the necessary grain, which is best imported over water, rail should not be prioritized before building an industry which cannot run without a large volume of workers and is bound to a location which prohibits using waterways. Also, one fabric factory feed two clothing mills, not the other way around. For any kind of viable export volume, I'd recommend at least two fabric, and 4 clothing factories
>>1530218Don't listen to them anon, they clearly haven't played past 10k citizens or 5 trains on the same line. Having crossings on the mainline will just make everything stop to a halt all the time.It is fine inside the branchlines, but not on any high traffic spot.
managed to set up a simple oil export line which is what ended up saving my ass in the end, had to take a couple debts but thing are going great right nowthe main town has been almost completely built now, originally I was planning to transport the workers via rail to the clothing factories but in the end I decided to make another small town inbetween the construction hub and the factories to supply them both with workersnext up I'll have to start planning an industry on the other side of the river, probably an oil refinery but I'm not sure yet
Can someone explain to me the pathfinding of passengers? Let's say I have a bus route from a, to b and c, where in b and c there are services from them, do they skip stop b in order to get to the services in c?
>>1536089If they need something at b they'll get out. If not, they won't get out.
>>1536104You can really screw it up like this, if you have the cinema and sports facility at b and the grocery store at c, a citizen who needs food, meat, sports, and culture will get out at b because sports is on the list, and then walk to the cinema because culture is on the list, and then walk back to b because he can't reach anything else on the list from there. By the time the bus comes back and takes him to c he's probably about out of free time and may not get enough food/meat, which is far worse than not getting enough culture/sports.
>>1536089>>1536122imo it's a waste of time trying to transport passengers to their basic needs. Grocery, cinema, university, and sports hall should all be within walking range
>>1526674Interesting map, what is it?>>1534057> building rail to any place which isn't my steel/aluminum setupHow many trucks would you need to if you wanted to run steel on them alone?
>>1536190>Interesting map, what is it?Taiga Special Edition
>>1536175Students aren't like passengers on free time, students will never time out if you daisy chain stations. This makes school and especially university excellent choices for transport. A student who waits a few hours on a platform only needs to attend university about 6 times to achieve a university education. The only problem with doing the same for schools is that students could clog your stations and vehicles but it's a very reasonable option once you have a high capacity transport system in place.I always have every residence within range of a shopping center so they always walk to that first and then you can do tricky stuff like having cinema, sports, hospital etc in range of multiple shopping centers so you can gather citizens from multiple areas.
>>1536533It's not waiting on a platform but riding in transportation that increases the effectiveness of each trip to the school/university. Even so, having students jump on a fast train from the outlying villages to the university district is quite satisfying.If a child fails to achieve a basic education before turning 21, will that child move to a hostel or just keep trying to get a basic education from his house?

why isn't mixed waste treated as an aggregate but the sorted waste is? Seems dumb that it can only be transported via railway, I wanted to centralize all my garbage collection in the republic to one spot and ferry it to a different spot down the river to have it sorted
Fuck I should have built an Oil refinery and Chemical plant before I built my steel mill. The former two would cut out ~1 million Rubles in annual imports a year while the latter only cuts out a third of a million.
Having to make the sewage pipes stay entirely underground is dumb desu. I can't even install pumps to compensate a slight uphill slope because a part of the pipe wouldn't be underground.
>>1538758I just turn the water off every time, it's so annoying having to set up infrastructure for it in almost every place with workers and scaling it up in big cities after expanding is also a pain in the ass
>>1538765I play with water on but as is it doesn't scale enough
>>1538758> I can't even install pumps to compensate a slight uphill slope because a part of the pipe wouldn't be underground.Post a screenshot what you mean, if you put the pump on the slipe behind where you're trying to connect, you can use that slight decline
I might have built this a little too close to the city
>>1538716I downloaded a garbage barge mod to solve this problem. Kind of weird it's not included in vanilla
>>1539610oh wow, I had no idea there was one on the workshopthanks anon
>>1539610Does it work properly with the default factory connection cargo port?
https://www.sovietrepublic.net/post/report-for-the-community-82>more cranes and cars
>>1540024Nice
>>1539827Yes, but it will load super slowly unless you connect it to a garbage transfer. Unloading works into any type of storage. Not sure why this is
Why does it feel like this game is not popular at all? You hardly ever see anyone discussing it when it comes to city builders
>>1540747Because its for turbo autists that like industrial management and an eastern bloc aesthetic. Also it hasn't been out as long compared to something like factorio nor does it have the brand recognition that Tropico does.
>>1540768eastern block easthetic is probably a big deal breaker for a lot of people, maybe it will have it's big break after leaving early accessdamn Czechoslovaks, how come they're so good at making autistic vydia?
>>1540681I think loading works fine when using a garbage transfer because they're containers, while otherwise the slow speed is used. The ship has the $SKILL_WASTE_CONTAINER_BIG flag so it kinda counts as a big container truck.I tried making a garbage harbour that has proper speeds, but apparantly vehicles are a lot easier to just copy and adjust than complex buildings.
>>1538822If I try to connect this it says "part of pipe is above terrain". Can't get this shit around even with terrain modification tools
>>1541515I was going to suggest hooking it up like this where the next pump is slightly uphill from the connector you need to get with, but if your problem is the pipes being above the terrain I can't help with that
>>1541515What are you trying to connect in this image?
>>1540747I, for one, am interested but I always hear about how citizens have issues getting to and from places, strange traffic glitches, and just buying stuff instead of building. It makes it sound a bit too janky to be a proper city builder.
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THIS ASH? THERE ARE MORE TRASH TRUCKS THAN ROAD VEHICLES
>>1542095Assign a distribution office to dump it at various dumps for ash only. Eventually the ash will disappear. I got to the point where the ash was too much to handle this way so I just started exporting
>>1542098>I got to the point where the ash was too much to handle this way so I just started exportingthats where im at now... surely its not intended to just have 500 tons of ash stashed around various places. they need to make it useful for something
>>1541831Red said "no proper slope" before I used terrain editing to make a slope, now it says "pipe outside of terrain".Green and purple say "No proper slope".I will now try to load a previous save before I did sewage and try to build it with pumps every 200m.
>>1542400First, why did you build all those pipes before making sure that everything would connect, that was dumb. You're going to have to demolish and rebuild them to fix it.Can't tell for sure without contours on but it looks like you're trying to make purple go uphill to reach the under-construction pipe end (which makes sense because I assume when you say you used terrain editing it was to lower the switch there). I don't know what's happening at green.It looks like the terrain at the power lines is lower than the terrain around it, so the red pipe would be above the terrain there on its way from the pump to the switch.
How do I design the metro in a city? Assuming I have 5 town districts (residential, commercial, education, industry, transport hub) and I place a metro station in the middle of each one, will the citizens be able to ride it and get off on a stop with the thing they need? The distance between the stops is fairly short but i'm worried things will go wrong if someone has to do a full loop
>>1543079They'll do fine as long as the metro trains run frequently enough that nobody times out on the station waiting.
Why I have this issue? I don't quite understand
>>1543188Are you sure all the conveyors are hooked up to the correct input / output connection points?Do the conveyor engine and unloading bay have power?
>>1543188Connections to conveyor engines and pumps aren't supported by the DO, as you can read in the error message. The DO can't see the storage past the pump or conveyor engine so it doesn't know how much to deliver. Use direct connections to storage from the loading/unloading station instead (it's also much faster, pumps and conveyor engines throttle loading/unloading speed by a lot).
>>1542792>>1541831>>1541675Update: turns out I just had to use pumps to make slopes, now it works fine.
>>1543457>Update: turns out I just had to use pumps to make slopes, now it works fine.But that's what pumps have always been for
how can I increase the efficiency of this factory?
>>1543520lol didn't saw the wear and tear of machines, my bad
>>1543530lol stop being Cuba
>>1543079As long as you dont have more than 3-4km between farthest stations, you should be fine, at 60kph a citizen will stsy on a mode of transport for 4 irl mins and metros do at least that
steel mill town is now under construction
>>1536184
>>1543729let us know how it goes
>>1544741it's going pretty bad honestly, I have a 3 million debt, buildings keep catching on fire and collapsing because I haven't renovated most of them, in fact 700 citizens just died when two commieblocks collapsed as I was writing this postI did manage to get a working power plant which does mitigate the money issue a little bit, I'm amazed that the train system manages to keep it staffed almost constantly despite the town being like 3km awayI have also learned that putting a coal mine next to power plant is overkill and it could work just fine by just delivering the coal to the power plant via railI've also began working on setting up another oil field so I really hope I can get it functioning asap to fully saturate the oil storage at the oil refinery, steel imports are fucking me over so hard right now and the bitumen+fuel exports are my only saving grace
gas the jews
how the fuck do i start in this game? i turn it on and theres an empty field and a milion buildings i can build
>>1545286its overwhelming and frustrating at first...i opened this game a few times and felt the same thing you are and closed it. but now i have 900 hours...try bballjo on youtube and play the tutorials
>>1545518i just did and the game bugged out on a train tutorial, placed one crosdsing, can't palce another and i can't progress in the tutorialoff to a great start
>>1545831Stay away from realistic mode when starting out is the only real piece of advice I can give. I started playing before all these systems were added so I was able to get it piecemeal. Can't comprehend what new players are faced with these days
>>1545834Oddly enough I did realistic mode for my first real play through because it removed all the choice paralysis. I only dabbled with the game beforehand, and struggled to actually get into it.
>>1545837The amount of time it takes to make a realistic city and how many things can go wrong I simply don't recommend it. Using money to instantly build things and fix is the much better way to learn.
>>1545839True. But I'm also the sort of autist that has no problems starting all over If i noticed I did one crucial thing wrong
>>1545842Me neither but I still would never advocate for a new player to this game to start out on realistic. At that point filling up a truck with gas becomes a puzzle
>>1545834i'm not talking about any modes, i didn't even knew there were any.i'm literally trying to complete the tutorial and it's bugged.
>>1545286Coal mineCoal processingHeating plantCoal power plantAll the commieblocks with shops, hospitalLay electric wiresExport surplus coal electricityThen go for clothing and oilThen steel mill and construction industryThen whatever the fuck you wantDon't build railways before this point
>>1543729the construction is progressing well, a new industrial area for bricks and prefab pannels has been added to the coal power plant setup to utilize all the coal we are getting for ita new industrial area for mechanical components has also been planned for construction in the upper part of the city, directly connected to the metro line with 4 stations, I've also made plans for a distribution office, rail depot and a connection for the metro line
Four years into a realistic mode city and the second building has burned down.Citizens count: zero
>>1545898You have to research the resource map mode now lmao
Tell me if I have this fucking math rightVehicle speed for trains and road vehicles = real life speed, so an 85 km/h bus will move 85 km after one real hour at 1x speed. An hour is 3600 seconds, a meter is 1/1000 of a kilometer, 3600/1000=3.6 km/h to m/s conversion85/3.6=meters per real second vehicle speedWorker-hour = 1 day = 60 real secondsPassenger time is 4 hours = 4 real minutes = 240 real secondsSo (85/3.6) * 240 = theoretical maximum possible distance in meters a vehicle traveling at 85 km/h can take a passenger without a stop to reset the timer
>>1546199You couldn't make it any more complex, but yes, that's correct. Or you could do the simple math: a worker can travel a theoretical distance of 4 (hrs) * speed (km/h) / 60 (game-time conversion). Or more simply, speed/15 in km. We arrive at the same answer.Note that this only applies to buses, cars, and trains (possibly planes?) other vehicles have adjusted (slower) rates at which the travel clock ticks up to account for the insanely slow movement of a cableway or boat.
>>1546213You know a mod to divide the displayed speed by 15 would be useful
>>1546230Not really, the theoretical distance isn't very helpful because the actual distance will always be lower and there's no way to precisely measure the on-road path length so attempting to compare the two is a pointless endeavor. Just round down to the nearest divisible-by-15 value and think "it needs to be a bit less than that."
>>1546231Or you could divide it exactly and display it and easily arrive at theoretical maximum values you know never to go over
>>1546239You might be retarded.
>>1546254Anon, where are we again? Please have patience
How long have open hull trucks been able to haul multiple vehicles?I never noticed it until now.
Since the game was released into Early Access in ~2020.
why are these fuckers not unloading the trash?
>>1548766forgot the pic lol
>>1548770it says the dump is 0.28 percent filled, if a tiny pile of mixed garbage got put inside it, you cannot put other types of garbage in there anymore until you get it out
>>1548775I tried to fix it but is impossible, try demolishing and rebuilding it, and it starts with that percentage. maybe I'm missing something?
https://www.sovietrepublic.net/post/report-for-the-community-83The devs signed a deal to be published by Hooded Horse. Congrats to them!
>>1551486>Shifting gears back to what’s at the core of our endeavor: game development. We have a landmark update to share today. We understand the frustrations you’ve had with road construction, where pathways, crossroads, and waypoints break your roads into annoyingly small segments. That's about to change>We implemented changes that will make the construction of a road one from junction to junction. Connected pathways and waypoints will not divide the construction site into smaller segments anymore. This will improve the construction process and allow you to construct roads faster. Also, the pathways crossing the road will remain functional. This means less disruption for walking citizens even though they will not be able to use the road under construction itself.AYYYY
>>1551486>https://www.sovietrepublic.net/post/report-for-the-community-83better road construction...nice
>>1551477Is there any garbage in it that you can see? Try setting up an export for the dump
>>1551486>sign with a publisher>don't push for full release>go back to improve a core systemI love these devs
>>1551486I hope whatever deal they worked out has 3Division in control of the IP.
>>1551486wonder how much of that was motivated by getting more protection against the cosmonaut mode autism. Anyway good choice of publisher
>Unity cucks be seething>3Division chads be using their own engine
>>1552575The only downside about 3division using the engine they made for an air flight simulator (jank aside) is that we'll never get real hydrology.
>>1552959The other downside? We'll never get a helicopter flight mode to fly around our cities with
>>1552987>ywn build a dam in WRSR and take a nice leisurely flight over the reservoir
>>1553009Right in the feels. Did they say the flowing water was completely out? Though, it only half works Cities Skylines, with many times the budget, so I wouldn't be surprised.
>>1553019I wouldn't know, they never brought it up in their roadmap or anything else, and I assume that's because they couldn't retrofit something like that into the game's engine.
Make sure you show up on time, the people demand that these Mines are worked!
>>1507593a lot could be fixed by having a work shift-system, to me this current system feels like shoveling coal into a fire instead of managing people
>>1552987it's the same engine so I wouldn't be surprised if slavs do their slavmagic thing again and port one in
>>1554837They have that rain simulation thing to erode terrain in the editor, maybe they could slavjank that into a "re-evaluate water flow" button in the cheat menu that paused the game and re-did the water based on new terrain changes, dams, etc.
