Hallo bballjo! Ich habe mittlerweile 500+ Stunden in WRSR investiert und ich habe jede Sekunde genossen. Das hat kein Anno, Civilization oder sonst ein anderes Spiel geschafft. Ich lehne mich zwischendurch immer mal wieder zurück und schaue einfach nur dem Gewusel meiner Republik zu. Ich denke, ich kenne mich im Spiel einigermaßen aus und dennoch fordert mich das Spiel jedes Mal aufs Neue. Einfach nur toll! Ich bin zufällig auf deinen Kanal gestoßen und nehme viele Anregungen und Ideen für mein eigenes Spiel mit. Abo haste und weiterhin alles Gute!

This is the first I'm seeing of post-1.0 release and I LOVE IT! Back in early access some of us would do "realistic mode" just as a challenge, but it would require building at least a couple residences so you had workers...but then people would be majorly unhappy b/c they were having to build all the buildings that were supposed to make them happy. Now? Now you can build EVERYTHING w/o having to have actual "citizens"! I love watching you just take the time to plan it and build it with these "foreign workers"...plus some free buildings for construction stuff! I'm so excited to start my first new game in a couple years!

Furthermore, you don't just say what you're doing - but you explain why which makes it easier to diagnose my own cities or adapt to different maps.

Rewatching and Loving the depth of info, should title the videos 'Introduction of mechanics' or something on side for new players to know this is great for such info Here some other options for peeps (not required, just giving ideas of things you can do): 1 You can bring workers from border (or his border+bus station) to the heat station to prep it up before citizens pulled in. Minor but still a decent move. I would recommend just buying a few cars and set them up with the route -they hold just 2-4 which is all you need to get the plant humming. This also works for fire-station, asphalt, and cement when you just want a few peeps there 2 Dirt roads, besides the main roads. Then vehicles which cant go fast enough to reach gravel speeds will stick to those and allow faster vehicles less restricted travel.

Oh, I enjoy your trying something different with the Small heating plant in the City. One thing you could do instead of tearing it down is just leave it with no staff and have an emergency heating plant incase your main one goes down. I haven't done that yet but will be how I will moving forward since fires in winter can be deadly.

1. You want to turn off road and footpath construction for your excavator CO. Bulldozers are better at roads, meanwhile excavators should work on groundwork for buildings. 2. You're still wasting a lot of time by waiting for roads to be built. That's counterproductive for the goal of getting own citizens in the first year. You can get your citizens before snow if you do everything right.

@HanakoSeishin 5 ай бұрын

How to get your own citizens before first snow. 0) Don't wait for roads to be graveled, gravel them in parallel with building buildings by ensuring while you're graveling a road there's always another mud road to reach the destination - don't hesitate to spam temporary mud roads as they're free and you can always remove them later 1) First building to build should always be the fire station, as anything can catch fire at any moment. With any luck it won't, but it can. Bring workers from the border to the fire station for now. 2) Residential building where your citizens will eventually live. Don't forget to turn off auto-invite, as you don't want them to live here just yet! 3) Shopping center. You can go for a small one if you're going for a smaller city ( Somewhere around here you can start on constructing your first industries in parallel with other constructions. 13) Next you want a university to ensure school doesn't run out of teachers. You can choose between a small party HQ (can be used to unlock distribution offices) or small technical university (can be used to unlock more industries), although if you're going for a bigger starter city, like one that needs a large shopping center, you might go for both. 14) Then you want all the law enforcement things: police, court and prison, all small ones for now. Note that they aren't really useful until you have all three.

Foreign workers work for very short time, they're really not good for anything work related and you only really want them to get your first city started.

@HanakoSeishin 5 ай бұрын

Yes, if you didn't manage to get your citizens before winter, then it's probably a good idea to first use foreign workers to warm it up, as it can take quite some time in winter. Then once it's warm enough, invite your own citizens and switch to using them, as using them is the whole point of having them.

@SirFlipsALot 4 ай бұрын

Hey @bballjo, question about reducing worker count in various buildings. As you go through and reduce max worker allotments, it seems you're using your judgement from playing the game for so long to figure out which number is "right" - is there a rule of thumb for this, as in, how many service workers in building X will be required to service a population of Y? Is there an overview of these ratios somewhere? Thanks a ton for all of your videos, really great material to get into the game!

@bballjo 4 ай бұрын

The rule of thumb is look at the current empty slots, and reduce worker numbers to a level you're comfortable with, 10% extra is probably fine, but when you do that you have to keep checking it while population growths.this also depends on building supply and happiness, so large changes there should warrant changes to numbers...which is also why there are no defined numbers

@rouch2 5 ай бұрын

Residential buildings never really use their max power even at night. From what I've seen you can safely go 200% if not higher on the substation capacity.

@bballjo 5 ай бұрын

150% is my cut off, I have seen flickering with loads of 175%. But you're right...the consumption is always dependent on the current occupancy, so if 50% of people are working, and 20% are shopping, you should only need 30% of those numbers.

Worth considering is that the materials for building a full sewage system (without treatment) is way cheaper than for a water system. So it might be worth doing sewage first and later do water. Also IIRC most of the work days can be done by excavators without needing workers, so most of the building of pipes just uses excavator while all other CO vehicles and all workers are free to do other things. In other words it might be a good idea to place the long pipe to a sewage discharge early on, set it to low priority and zero workers, and let the construction offices work at it when there is nothing else to do. (Btw, don't forget that the sewage discharge needs maintenance, i.e. it has to be within auto search range for COs). Also an intermediate step might be a well, a pump, probably a small water tower and a water treatment plant but still use technical offices to distribute water to other buildings. This saves the cost of a lot of water pipes but still gets rid of the water vehicles from the customs office.
