How to Rails | Tutorial | Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic Guides

How to setup junctions? What do the colors mean? How do signals work? All these questions will be answered and more in this ultimate rail guide.
My tutorials and how to guides are aimed at new players, who may have skipped the in game tutorial or found issue with the same. This game has many hidden features, and I aim to show you all of them.
WR:SR is an amazing sandbox city/republic builder, that allows you to control all aspects of your new country, from citizens happiness, health, education to production chains, vehicle and resource production, import export. You can do all this by truck, train, ship, and in the near future plane. There are a million ways to make your republic your own and that’s what we will do.
I just started this channel, and I hope you enjoy the content. I’m also active on:
Twitter: / bballjo , I try to share things about the channel here. Sometimes I will post new video announcements or let you know when I go live on YT or Twitch.
Reddit: / bballjo , I just started using this, but I am relatively active in the creator subreddits and the current games I am playing.
If you read all the way to here, I appreciate your commitment and support and hope you are enjoying what I am creating.

Me: Next time I load my game I'll check for any purple and orange sections next to each other. *Loads game* Me: Oh dear god...

[@tesiu101]

You are the best when it comes to explaining things in this game. Learned a lot from you!

[@CurtJunya]

Good to hear this out loud. I think I figured most of this out after HOURS of trial and mostly error.

[@Hunki23]

Thank you so much :) I knew some things, but a lot of your videos are sooo helpful. Warm greetings from Germany.

[@PinStratsDan]

Thanks. Nice and concise. I still haven’t had a chance to start playing but your videos are preparing me well 😉. Didn't know about the white signals do glad I saw this video of yours else I would have designed train passing areas differently i.e. with signals separating the passing areas.

[@arthurkirsanov3363]

learning english from your videos. And everything is clear to me. Thanks!

[@capitanocipriano]

An enlightening tutorial! 💡 Thank you!

[@camthebam10]

Loving the latest tutorials!

[@mar0z]

i know i'll be rewatching this again in a couple months xD

[@LeeHawkinsPhoto]

Excellent explanation!

[@cfdd7551]

Very much helped me, thank you very much!

[@bballjo]

Happy to hear!

"Fricking rails, how do they work?!?" - oh, that is how!

[@jgez12]

I think a very in detail look into how to setup and plan your rail network and why would be awesome.

[@schulz840212]

Great tutorial, and also the game is great, l bought it because of your tutorials. Can you make one about buses? l cant figure out how much l need for a route to be optimal, and also which speed/capacity is the best.

[@bballjo]

There is no real answer. It comes down to your frequency and capacity on the route. Setup a bus, any bus, let it run, look at how many workers are still in the production when the bus comes back ..add busses until you are satisfied with the workers. Also enable line spacing, by clicking on the hourglass within the vehicle window.

[@danielkristiansen2298]

You should do a "Norwegian rail" challenge; no double lines! :D Seriously though, should you always do a double rail line in this game, or is it possible to set up a usable single line rail with meeting points where trains can pass each other?

[@bballjo]

The new update claims that it's making 2 way track more achievable...I haven't been able to test that, however, throughput may still be a problem, as my playthroughs rely heavily on trains...but that just means I have to be more effective with the trains I have...I may try this :)

[@NickKrige]

when you want to get in the block to drop your load but she's giving you mixed signals

[@pedrojunior5823]

hey, great tutorial, how about of rail contruction offices? they are hard to use, god

[@bballjo]

I have 1 tutorial on that on the channel already, but I am working on another one...stay tuned in the next few weeks.

[@pedrojunior5823]

@@bballjo I just watched it. the one you teach about non blocking junction. you did a nice job man

[@gijskramer1702]

Little question: does doubling up locomotives double the power output?

[@bballjo]

I'm pretty sure it does, but I've not seen any train that wasn't able to move it's load, regardless of power rating or slope...

[@smoore6461]

So in a cloverleaf, how do you set up the in and out semaphores? I guess I'll figure it out there are just a lot of in And out junctions in that cloverleaf 🙂 great video sir, I appreciate it. I'm glad you explaned mix singas they were always a bit if a mystery, I knew where to use them but why was somewhat up in the air, I was right it turns out but it's good to know for sure 🙂 thank you

[@bballjo]

For a true cloverleaf junction I signal it exactly the same, chain in, block out...but since nothing should block anything and no rail crosses into the opposite side you could use all block signals.

[@smoore6461]

@@bballjo cool that's what I was thinking because what I have seen is is that my longer trains get themsekve stuck on some chain singnqls sometimes. I mean that may be because I didn't make a great cloverleaf and leave enough room which is my fault But this was.literally the first one i ever made. Hopefully I will get better at it as time goes on 🙂

[@joshuapettit5068]

oolykee should learn this i mention it 2 him but dont listen

[@smoore6461]

@@joshuapettit5068 Do you have any videos you've made I can watch to learn from? I'd love to see how you do things on your videos I watch several different players of the game. Since you have a thing with the way Oolykee does stuff onhis play through?

[@smoore6461]

@@bballjo thanks for the info bballjo I tried to follow your cloverleaf design but I'm afraid I didnt make it nearly as clean as yours.

[@nightwishlover8913]

Very nice - but how do you get the construction trainset to the Rail construction office to build track IF YOU CAN'T BUILD TRACK? Help please!

[@bballjo]

Pickup the disassembled rail crane with a truck.

[@nightwishlover8913]

@@bballjo Thanks. I found it on Steam (eventually) lol!

[@cionxdistan]

I have a problem with my trains clogging at the border office. Do you have any references or guides to how to fix this issue? Example: I have a junction infront of the office, even though 2/3 lines at the office are empty, an incoming train will try to go to the full lane and just sit there infront of it blocking the way.

[@bballjo]

Wrong signals I'm guessing...

[@JoXeRTV]

Bro, i have a question but not about rail. Why my distribution office always warning me about "Some vehicle doesn't have fuel" even if i auto buy full fuel on that office + there a gas station next to it + normal electricity. So the car will eventually all stop because of that... I dont get it yet why that happen 😅

[@bballjo]

There really isn't enough information here, and I've never seen this error before...

[@JoXeRTV]

Hmm interesting... Thanks anyway bro..

[@red_devil17]

I have transport fever 1 and 2, this game similar? Or more like simcity

[@bballjo]

I have and love those games too. The Tpf series is more limited, as you only manage transport...in wrsr you manage transport plus every else that a republic needs, transport is just a small but vital part to it. Plus wrsr is much better at late game performance so you can play bigger and longer. Personally I would highly recommend WRSR.

[@baronjutter]

How do you signal a single track dead end siding?

[@bballjo]

Always use chain to enter a junction and block signal to exit...so in this case use a mixed signal with the block signal pointing to the dead end.

[@jockeril]

@bballjo you're video description is very out of date - you need to review and correct all of it, otherwise this is a nice short tutorial - for the absolute beginner it work fine

[@bballjo]

The one sentence about the beta?

[@JSRJS]

How the heck do you build junctions....I don't have any junction icons at all

[@bballjo]

You build a junction by dragging the rail wherever you want to go, make sure it's snapped to what you need.

[@JSRJS]

@@bballjo Got it! Thanks man.
