WORKERS & RESOURCES SOVIET REPUBLIC | DESERT BIOME - EP22 Realistic Mode (City Builder Lets Play)

[@freizer__cz__channel7311]

I love this series and have for you some tips. Tip one: In repair station buy some medium size cover haul truck. They will drive and repair automaticly broken vehicles. And Tip two: Buy some buses and build city bus line with end station. Peoples will be happy because everyone finds a way to their needs. 🙂🙃🙂

[@brianbolton9218]

Agree repair vans please. We already have a bus end station. Can't remember if it is fueled

The fluctuation of pollution might be caused by a lack of garbage disposal capacities. If a building frequented by only a handfull of workers has overflowing garbage containers, like e.g. a sports court, the pollution effects are minimal, whereas overflowing garbage containers in a big residential block might affect hundreds of individuals. Therefore it might be worthwile to check, whether your inidiviual buildings have overflowing garbage, the republic has sufficient garbage dumps and lastly, if these dumps are empied regularly. Edit: While i'm at it, some pieces of unsolicited advice: 1) Dumper capacy isn't everything. While the BZ 252 has by far the greatest capacity, it is painfully slow. It's maximum speed is somewhere around 35km/h (21mph) which leads to them not even benefitting from gravel roads. Consider using at least some faster dumpers to prevent the BZ 252 from slowing down your construction by e.g. having to drive all the way to Al Balutakia for some asphalt. 2) Your construction and demolition offices have a range of operation which is currently set to 1000m which might soon be insufficient to facilitate the growth of mighty Ashkehkal. 3) Should a vehicle get stuck due to some kind of weird game interaction, you can instately reset it to it's workplace with Ctrl+H. This does not work for vehicles without a workplace, like vehicles assigned to lines or vehicles whose workplaces collapsed due to fire or disrepair. 4) Vehicles which have a fixed workplace which is not in direct proximity to the vehicle repair station will not visit the repair station by themselves, even if they are in range of it. The range setting is relevant for how far the vehicle repair station will sent their own vehicle to repair damaged vehicles in other workplaces. Maybe consider buying a small covered B1000 in your repiar station to enable it repairing ambulances, police cars, etc. and spare yourself the busywork of manually moving damaged vehicles to the repair station. A small covered hull will suffice, as cars and trucks do not need massive amounts of ressources for their mainenance as trains or ships will. 5) While i am not sure why your crime rate is that high, some usual suspects are insufficient workers at the police station, too great a backlog of minor crimes for those poor, overworked sods at the station, no way to actually punish severe crimes or abandoned orphans needing to find a way to survive in mighty Ashkhekal.

[@Den-dd5pp]

For the crime thing: as you looked at the police station, i noticed there were only like 1-3 policepeople in employment at the time. The number of police people will deterine how quickly a case gets solved, as you likely know. More cop Cars will only worsen the situation, as there will be more cases for your few Policepeople to solve. making sure there are enough employees or building a second station would help much more!

[@cocs88715]

I can easily anticipate another 100 episodes before you develop the next city

[@UnHellequined]

Party, I'm not sure on this as the happiness numbers are kind of vague. But it often seems to me that the happiness concerns are pretty small percentages or affecting a small portion of the population. They may definitely help tell you where problems are but usually add up to 3-5% total. My guess is your happiness score is much more fixed to housing quality, you've basically been pegged to just below 65% ever since a large portion of the population moved into the large flat buildings with a quality of 65% IIRC. Which would also explain why when things go wrong or get back on track the happiness only moves a percent or two. Keep in mind for walking distances that double main road is basically a wall unless there are paths to get citizens across to the other road. This could make walking distances significantly longer. Also, staffing is definitely a constant struggle for your city layout. Adding a second clinic on top of the new hospital might well crater your healthcare instead of fixing it because you couldn't possibly staff that at this stage.

[@lightiningstalker]

Small hack for the next town, place the shopping centre in the middle and plan your town in a 350m radius around it.

[@Prague5342]

Are you sure that the happiness problems are not caused by the aforementioned residents living outside ashkekal?

Absolutely loving the series, but I feel that you’re getting a bit too obsessed with building all the roads with asphalt instead of sticking to gravel. Then again, I’d never question your wise leadership Comrade!

[@adrikstepanov5307]

Because he thinks everyone has a car and drives everywhere.

[@stewarthilson]

@@adrikstepanov5307 I think that's a bit unfair on him - i'm no expert but i think i've heard people walk faster / vehicles travel generally faster on asphalt. I don't know if it actually extends ranges as well for pedestrians or whether the vehicle speed increase is actually worth it.

[@adrikstepanov5307]

@@stewarthilson Yes, the asphalt and street lamps do make vehicle move faster, and they extent the range the people walk, but you need to actually use the footpaths. Asphalt roads are for vehicles, and it's not how people move around (unless you have personal cars, and having those is expensive). People get around mostly on foot, on footpaths, and he is ignoring those. Having them walk on side of the road as vehicles actually slows them down if they need to walk around buildings, not across.

[@brianbolton9218]

Agree. Except if these were major import/export or industrial/business traffic areas then upgrade them but only to paved not expensive lit and sidewalks. Bus stop areas can get lit paved road but only when you can start importing and local storing elect part. Trips to boarder are wasteful just for .3 parts for short roads.

[@thomasmoellgaard3050]

Thank you for this serie

[@arek9804]

54:00 you need to buy a closed hull truck for the repair office to be able to do that

[@brianbolton9218]

2x agree!

[@skididibop]

It looks like vehichles traveing on dirt roads are experiencing way more durability drop-off than those on gravel/asphalt roads, so i suggest setting up two lines of gravel roads with separation on speed limit. One for faster trucks and cars, and another for 25t dumpers. You can use speed limit sings like you did before. Just a theory though, but gravel is cheap and fast to build. I prefer to have prefab roads for industrial areas in mid/lategame - fast enough for most of the trucks and looks nice. But man do those long convoys of trucks on dirt roads looks nice - straight from madmax movies!

[@mikkelhansen3714]

YOu should put a pub next to the hospital. When people get too drunk they can quickly get into the Hospital and when they get released again they can go directly back into the pub

[@lukgame-u6d]

😆

[@jfisher5151]

Re: pollution - The sewage is still overflowing because your trucks can't get rid of it quick enough. Just click through some of the buildings. I've seen "sewage is overflowing" warnings.

[@arek9804]

3:50 its because sewage is not being transported fast enough, and if the tank is overflowing it pollutes the surroundings.

[@cooperkirby8944]

I know you said that you would like to keep the old arab houses in the earlier videos but I really think that removing them would provide a lot of space for either larger more efficient residential buildings or even the large hospital being in the center of town.

[@SeregaKRYL]

It's the garbage. Check the waste inside the buildings.

[@davidebuselli3055]

I have a tip for you. You could start to plant some trees, near the building.

[@brianbolton9218]

Agree comrade. Some residential roads can have ONE lit sidewall road, but not every side street (at least at this point in series). The upgraded parallel residential streets is too rich. Main town arteries roads YES but no lighting.

[@merdanatamyradov]

38% loyalty is default I think. Even with blooming republic without other boosters it won't go up. I recommend you to rush first nuclear fuel research and make production, it will cost for it.

[@mongolianbasketweaver2291]

Would placing your petrol/gas station within range of the repair station be wise? I'd assume it'd allow a periodical repair when vehicles refuel.

I love to watch this game great work but i feel bored a bit .

[@oldgalah7425]

Why place the hospital backwards the footpath connections are at the front ambulances enter from the back, the same applies to shopping centres, also residential buildings do not need road connections meaning half of your roads are unnecessary and really don't need lighting, footpaths give much better connectivity for people to move around. Cheers 🙂

[@lightiningstalker]

Again, all your utility placements problems (i.e hospital, groceries etc) can be fixed by footpaths. Dude use them. Residential building dont need roads, footpaths are your friends in soviet Republics. Emergency vehicles can use footpaths too

[@brianbolton9218]

Agree x2

[@drewferg9]

Check your overlays to see if sewage or trash bins are overflowing. No need for pollution monitor to see if that's the issue.

[@liszarezo3658]

Remember about this one small clinic or there will be a lot frustrated people without medical care.

the polution might be becasue your brick and clothing factory are to close, 1% pollution i would not worry about as long as you have a hospital

Your pollution issues are from the constantly overflowing sewage system.

[@adrikstepanov5307]

Realizes that there is lack of healthcare. Orders build the hospital as far as possible from the people so no one could reach it. Lack of supply of food? Builds the shopping mall where no one could reach it. Lack of access? Proptly ignores the walkways, and thinks everyone drives a car in country without cars. A pollution? Proptly ignores the overflowing sewage tanks despite being reminded several times. Build the sewers? Nah, we don't need concrete pannels! Housing issue? Prevents construction of flats. No money? Mentions it, but forgets about the pumpjacks and the trucks he spoke about several episodes earlier.

[@ceeiresov]

​@@adrikstepanov5307 no problem at all for one clothing factory 🤣 I think he should watch some tutorials before launching the series as he gets lost on basic mechanics. I have 4.5-5k cities with less utilities and way more industry (nuclear fuel rocks) I think he is not checking any numbers before building anything. Like those electric substations....they dont even take 1MW and he is planning 3 redundant ones. He looks on wrong numbers. Not even sure if he knows that there are 3 shifts and to operate fully he need to multiply basic workers number in a building by 3. So clothing factory and textile mill takes 540 workers total which is 1/3 of his pops.

[@adrikstepanov5307]

@@ceeiresov He could do just the oil, it would be less effective than the nuclear fuel, but he could do a lot of it on this map. Vehicle manufacturing could be more profitable than nuclear, but requires research and some expensive infastructure.

[@oldgalah7425]

Saying housing has better connectivity when connected to a road is driving men insane, he meeds less roads and more footpaths and building everything in tiny segments is madness, there are more monuments than trees. Radio this early before any industry or proper sewage and water is not good he needs to use loans to get things moving.

Could you please introduce some mods, Party? I think regarding those parallel roads, the one closer to the river should end in a nice cul-de-sac. But i dont think theres a structure for that. So some mods would really brighten up this gameplay

[@namenlosnutz]

These big dumpers are extremely slow. I'd rather buy smaller but faster ones.

[@freespeechisdead202]

Dude I cant believe you have played this game before with so many episodes and yet you still play like a beginner. Many of the functions you are struggling with have been a thing for years. The repair workshop needs vehicles to do maintenance outside their zone and they also need the materials INSIDE the workshop or connected storage. The vehicles from the workshop will not go to other storages to collect materials. Just get a couple of small closed hulls and stock your workshop and you are good to go. Distribution centres are your friend yet you dont utilize them. You seem to be struggling with water, sewage and everything else yet you pumped over 200 episodes of the game prior.

[@puppetguy8726]

Don't be bullheaded, use some hard currency. The Soviets did all the time after the Stalin era.

[@lukgame-u6d]

This is not America. You needn't build asphalt roads with lights everywhere, only on main road. This is a poor socialist country. And in this game, much is based on walking and footpath and public transport. People actually walk to everything they need or to the next bus station. This is how they get around. So if people are not willing to walk somewhere, just build another busstation.

[@adrikstepanov5307]

I told him twice already.

[@lukgame-u6d]

@@adrikstepanov5307 He doesn't need a road on the left side of his new buildings. Instead he could build a bridge between the new places to live and the industrial part if you want to invest in a beautiful road project that takes some time. He needs a good road connecton between these two parts of the city. By the way: a socialist country is run like a private company - the whole country is a company. I guess he played Cities-Skyline before. Reading other comments: maybe do some research about Sowiet Union or China before continuing. By the way: how can you ruin a country? Build huge single family homes for everyones, buy overcised cars for everyone and build huge asphalt roads to connect all this. People may like to live like this, but this is not efficient to run a country. And in the end you don't have ressources to run basic infrastructure. If you think about the next big step after adapting the road desing: build a chemical factory or a oil refinery in the north of your town where you have so much flat space. The oil you have is the only you have and are using, so try to make as much money as possible from that. One km away from the part where people live should be enough to avoid polution. It does not make sense to transport 500 workers by bus to the other end of the country. I guess this is how he feels like: like a turtle in the desert: 🐢>🌵>🤔|🏭🏬

[@NZHazard]

Your getting too focused on updating roads and minor improvements which is causing you to get bogged down on projects and your not actually getting anything done because your more worried about resolving issues which ... Build a pipeline from the sewage collection area to the disposal area even at low priority would mean that your constantly moving things, and sewage would resolve itself, and means you don't need the sewage trucks anymore. Sort out the garbage issues, that's what's causing you grief, just sending it to the dumping area which is relatively full is killing your productivity. Build more houses and build new industries (cement plant as your already producing gravel and importing coal, and the coal power plant) to reduce the amount of people without work, which should reduce the crime rate and build larger shopping centers, so you can support a larger population.

[@TaitLawrence-xl2xb]

PLEASE calm down with the building, focus on one thing at a time! Its extremely annoying when you start construction of so many things then start complaining later how nothing is getting finished and stuff is getting built before the things you want to be built are.

Name of this episode "Progress" is a grim joke. You didnt make any progress with housing, industry, sewage situation (your pollution cause) from 3 episodes?

I agree that it's quite a micro management focused game, but I think there should be progress as well. Your industries haven't grown a bit since the early days, there's no oil filtration plants, no expansion to food sector industries, just one cloth factory that you're over-relying on to provide for the nation and also sell to earn forex. It seems like you're getting bogged down in just one task for quite a few episodes now 😢

[@patricksiemens]

Also, I haven't played this game, so I don't have an understanding over it, just making a suggestion. I think the crime, popularity and health stuff are taking a decline, coz your existing infra can cover all the residential places, but all the citizens aren't able to use them, so maybe if you increase the number of hospitals, police station and propaganda stations, maybe it'll help?! Idk, just thought to let you know 😅
