Beginner Mistakes: Nobody tells you these things (short) | Workers and Resources | bballjo fixes

[@user-xp8nq5mf9y]

So many thousands of people died over small mistakes... 10/10 true nation simulator.

My town type village fully died out several times, it is so hard to study on your own mistakes, but your videos are super informative. This game has billion small mechanics that work in common pretty well. Thank you, tovarisch

[@SapphireProductionsOfficial]

Watched both videos, I really appreciate the dedication to offer a variety of content (short form and long form)

[@stormeagle28]

My starting city in Workers and Resources is built for at least 5..6k people, so that it can easily support itself, handle research (to find resources and unlock all the good stuff) and run the first industry to make some money. As this is expensive to build and usually impossible with the small amount of money you have at the start, I'm importing (and just storing) hazardous waste, which is later just burned. You need to find "good" hazardous waste, it's different at each border crossing. Waste containing a lot of steel and aluminium is good for getting these metals (but you need to separate them out, can be run as an industry selling the aluminium), waste with almost no metals (but a high hazardous content) is good for money. Another way to get more money is buying transportable vehicles (bulldozers, cranes) at the NATO border and sell it to the Soviet border. This will make you another million if you need it.

I can’t thank you more bballjo for pointing out mistakes, aswell the addition of tutorials for WRSR. Mostly your series(s) VIII and X. Which resulted me actually enjoying the game and I eventually ended up with my first Town on Realistic mode, yes with happy citizens. Though I guess it’s true that this game is about trial and errors.

[@quacky1874]

Quite important info to get started here without failing. Breaking the rules is for when you are more experienced for how to micro manage things and what can be skipped.

[@BoJack_HorseFly85]

I think I commented on one of your W&R videos when the game hadn't been in EA for too long. Picked the game up again after full release, and I love how far it has come but there is still so much going on, further guidance is definitely still needed! You explain things really well and it is very much appreciated!

[@stormeagle28]

I'm calling the game still unfinished at this time, but maybe they need the money selling it. It's still a bit unbalanced or not working fine (too many game crashes, won't survive a task change or switching the monitor off and back on, some annoying bugs are still in the game). I'm hoping it gets better in the future.

[@bballjo]

@stormeagle28 the problems you are telling about are not game issues, and everyone that has experienced similar things and actually asked for advice has figured it out (it's a couple settings on your machine)

[@stormeagle28]

@@bballjo I'll look after that but it doesn't explain why the vehicle repair station sometimes takes control over vehicles running programmed lines... for example, a waste truck starts working for the repair station.

[@bballjo]

That sounds like you are maybe just misinterpreting how the vehicle repair station works? I've never seen any vehicles being "taken over" by anyone... Would love to see where you see that happening? Vehicles on lines have to go to the repair station for repairs, vehicles with a bases get repaired by repair station vehicles in range.

[@stormeagle28]

@@bballjo Yep, that's true. I equip repair stations with covered hull trucks for this reason. On some lines I like to use direct A-B lines, for example exporting ash from an incinerator. When these waste trucks need repairs, they sometimes start working for the repair station like the covered hull trucks. I'll see if I can make a screenshot when it happens the next time. It doesn't happen to waste trucks only, it can happen with every vehicle going to the station for repairs, but with a waste truck it looks weirdest.

[@bunk1860]

I have been going through your play list of videos on this game and have learned a lot about all the features in the interface, how to be efficient, and the nuances of all the different facets of this game. I have watched some of your videos and didn't understand most of what you were discussing but when I got to that point I ended up watching those videos multiple times to understand that part of the game. The issue I am stuck on right now is how to purchase vehicles like the police cars and ambulances in realistic mode, I don't think I have seen you mention this in the videos that I have watched so far. 10 minutes into this video, I already know this is going to be another one I watch repeatedly to absorb all the information in it, hoping that importing vehicles is in this one. If not, any ideas on where to find a guide or a least basic information about the process?

[@bunk1860]

Figured it out and got it to work. Not sure if I had a bug in the save file or if I was accidentally clicking on the bus parked next to it. Oh well, live and learn.

[@bballjo]

Purchasing in realistic mode is pretty straightforward, but you need a road connection (or import via ships/planes which is more advanced)...if you have a road you can just go into the building, click the correct currency, and then pick a vehicle. Thanks for watching! And watching, and watching again!

[@PetruRatiu]

I'd love if you did a video about map generation (or rather, what to look for in a freshly generated map or ways to nudge it in the editor to make it easier/harder).

[@bballjo]

Check the 0 episodes of the previous seasons. Season X was the first time I didn't go into too much detail because it's always the same

[@stormeagle28]

You want a hard map? Get one with many high mountains and a very high amount of water. You will love it!

[@Siegfried-o1b]

I love the "fixes" series!

[@claus7454]

I'm wondering what effect the air pollutions research has on the mentioned distance for heating plant/industry.

[@stormeagle28]

In short words: Not much, just don't put them close to your residential buildings or water wells.

[@frantalismo]

Hello bbaljo, it's my first time commenting here.I have a problem that my trains not moving out from the cargo station after i set it to " wait until fully loaded". If i uncheck that the train just export goods to the custom office at its own will, sometimes on empty cargo. How do i fix this? Btw thanks in advance for all ur guide videos, u da true hero .👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bballjo]

My first thoughts go towards your train isn't full, or maybe it's almost full but needs one more vehicle in the storage to leave the station...the train should tell you how full or empty it is in the info window...what do you see?

[@mikihiir8701]

after watching your new series and this, and you keep mentioning the firestation burning down because of earthquakes, but i havent seen a single firestation have a problem during an earthquake, have you actually seen it happen or are you just assuming because its in the city?

[@bballjo]

I've seen it happen via discord members

[@mikihiir8701]

@@bballjo ah oki, thanks, so i do have to worry about it, have played quite a few games since they came out and i guess i have just been lucky then

[@stormeagle28]

Same as above, if you play with earthquakes and fires enabled, keep a short autosave interval. When something bad happens or some really important building burns down, just load the latest savegame.

[@hai.nguyenhoang]

Having watched both this and the longer variant before this, I find it hilarious that this had 2 earthquakes, while the other had none :D 43:04 I think 30% in that case is a bit low with the 6.5t trucks and the 15t storage, 44% would be a better setting (yes, I'm the kind of person who whips out a calculator to determine exact DO percentages).

[@bballjo]

It actually had 4...I just felt it was stupid at that point and I needed to cut things.

[@bballjo]

It was 39%! So close enough

[@stormeagle28]

Earthquakes are just like fires. If you play with fires and earthquakes enabled, keep a short autosave interval. When something bad happens or some really important building burns down, just load the latest savegame.

[@Maxi_Moxn]

servus and thanks for the video :)

[@DigitalWoozaa]

So nice to a well done wrapup for newer players! Thank you! Would have loved timestamps/defined topics so one could easily jump to a specific part in case you want to get some special information. good for returning players like me =)

[@bballjo]

I felt like I was jumping between topics quite a bit and then returning to it later, not the best for chapters 😔

[@DigitalWoozaa]

@@bballjo there is some truth in this :D
