free buildings is good to start silent road upgrading trough whole republic, especially you have only one river. Or at least - additional source for cargo stuff moving. As far as I had see, set of free services may be great to keep major road clean in winter. Also, it would be great to place RR depot close to the border: less time to get stuff from the border to republic. Fun thing: in some cases. you can bring workers with airplanes. AN-2 (12 ppl) have next to no runway requirements.

Huh, I haven't really kept up with the beta branch updates, so it's a very nice suprise to see so many workshop buildings added to vanilla. I actually only downloaded the new aggregate and rail cargo stations about a week ago. Also, I'm glad you made the call to keep the first few episodes shorter, I usually get discouraged from watching the season when I see eleven 1.5 hour long episodes in the playlist already, but with shorter ones (and being here at the start) I can hopefully keep up with it, while also playing the game for myself.

However, most types of waste should not actually cause such severe pollution. Unless it is organic waste or hazardous substances such as chemicals. Here in the city near me is also about 500m as the crow flies a recycling center. So it's actually a garbage delivery point for bulky stuff or construction debris. There is nothing that could stink & is therefore also directly behind a few stores. On the other side is a 5m to 7m wide bushslope & then there are gardens & residential buildings again. by the way, now that you have a preview. Is that finally coming soon :D?

[@bballjo]

So, the game just treats overflowing containers as pollution sources, regardless of the waste.... however, storing biohazard waste will always cause pollution from the storage, there maybe more. Don't know when it's coming, but early June doesn't seem unreasonable at this point...they already added some great qol improvements this week, which makes me think the list of critical bugs is short as of now.

[@pingurage2460]

@@bballjo Maybe you should make the pollution of non-biological or dangerous substances by a malus on the happiness or something like that. Because it is already strange when the construction waste container overflows & people get sick because of it :D Next month would be cool. Urban planning won't necessarily be that difficult. But it will make those mass blocks difficult that people like to build. Where they build 6 or 9 high resbuildings right next to each other ^^ otherwise you probably have to put a block of almost the same size next to it just for garbage :D Basically you can then also look at google maps how that was sometimes solved in real & where garbage garbage cans are on top of larger apartment blocks.

[@archerkid02]

​​​@@pingurage2460 if it helps, while irl construction waste has a lot of wooden studs and seemingly-not-dangerous stuff, it also has tons of toxic chemicals that absolutely would pollute the environment. Think of adhesives, paints, cleaners, silica dust, and asbestos. Even concrete is toxic to the environment, which is why today we require concrete mixers to be provided on site with designated washing pads so that trucks won't just dump it randomly. Also people irl get injured or sick by stepping on nails and other debris, so in game this would be counted as pollution since there's no street sweeping trucks.

[@fransmith3255]

I'm coming back to the game after a couple years break (I play other games too!), but I don't see what the whole customs overload problem is. I didn't get customs overload at all and I had ALL the free construction offices running full of vehicles and the free storages (for all the beginning stuff except mechanical components and people). I just used 3 depots to fill the storages from the customs houses. I had ALL these going at once on full build mode and had almost no waiting at customs house (maybe 1 or 2 vehicles at most). Just use only the depots to go to customs house with 'wait til loaded'. You don't get customs overload because you're not sending every truck to pick up smaller amounts at the depot. The only vehicles going directly to customs then are two depot dumpers, buses, the occasional closed and open hull (also filling a storage from the depot) and the fuel truck. My customs had almost no waiting and I played on vanilla. Just start your fuel, depot vehicles (the trucks that can carry the biggest load - speed isn't a concern here) and storages off first to give them a small head start, then by the time all your other vehicles have filled up - with the inevitable fuel lines (although I had several of the free fuel places dotted strategically to avoid long runs for fuel), my storages had a pretty good head start at being filled and it all worked like clockwork. After the initial fuel line up, the longest line up I had anywhere was maybe three trucks waiting at the gravel storage - I learned to make a longer drive way to that one for next time.

[@bballjo]

Lol, you're saying you didn't get customs overload because you planned ahead like I did... Yes, that's not surprising, but you're not even aware of how much waste will add to traffic

[@fransmith3255]

@@bballjo Hehe, I don't have the upcoming update, of course, so I have no idea about garbage yet. I'm certainly not an expert, and I'm not sure my planning is as good as yours - you're a bit of an expert, right? But I've heard so much generally (outside the garbage update) on so many videos all this stuff about customs overload and how it's unavoidable. But that didn't happen to me even though I used all the free construction offices and had them all full of vehicles busily working non-stop, so I'm not sure why everyone else is experiencing that.

[@bballjo]

If you only build all the free buildings, then you don't have a huge fleet yet, so clogging customs is less of an issue, but down the road, if you rely heavily on road vehicles, it's always a problem, and that's why people are complaining. The setup with pre-customs storages helps immensely, but even that won't be enough once you produce a lot of exports, and import some of the materials.

[@fransmith3255]

@@bballjo Ah, I see. I haven't gotten that far yet. By then, though the republic will have spread somewhat. Doesn't spreading exports across the map to different customs offices help?

@@fransmith3255 of course it does.

[@SeedemFeedemRobots]

at least i hope the large border house gets upgraded with better pathing because as it is right now, its weaker then the 3 car+1rail medium sized border house due to the distance the vehicle needs to travel to "leave", sure maybe make the loading and unloading process take a bit longer but i see no reason to use those large houses early game over the medium sized houses except for when i get rail up and running for its 3 rail connections later in the game

Hello. I have a game already in progress and I would like to know if it is viable to activate this update?

Can you give me some tips on how to proceed? Or is it better not to activate the update? Thanks.

[@bballjo]

Waste is relatively easy to deal with, but you need space...you need to place some container stands in trash range of all buildings, then add some technical services to pickup trash, then you need to process/burn/store the trash somewhere. Turn on trash, plan some buildings, turn off trash and complete the buildings...once everything is done turn on trash.
