Starting Rail Construction | Ep7 | Workers and Resources Soviet Republic | Season 10

[@petermeter9890]

this game brings back memories, the vehicles are historically accurate and I was able to ride along in them as a kid, the music is what you would hear in films and tv programs and you would have a house of culture in towns, so funny

[@user-ix6ok7fh9x]

nice :)

That waste truck with 6 container is blessing when some storage building collapsed, otherwise transport 2-3k tons of wastes takes forever to transport.

Great series so far. Ofc, you are way ahead now, but I like to explain. If your heating plant is a bit understaffed for one shift you are fine. Unlike electricity, heat provides a bit of a buffer. So producing a bit to little heat from time to time is acceptable, as long there are enough workers available on average.

[@hai.nguyenhoang]

7:28 the RCO will not actually put demolition waste in there, it'll put it either mixed together in its internal waste storage or to a dump/waste transfer station connected via factory connection and separate if setup that way

[@gigafreckle]

I've made it to episode 8 so far, and even though these episodes are an hour long, they are so incredibly dense with useful information. I swear I can't look away because I got half way in to episode 9 and realized I wasn't paying attention when you put down the rail construction office. Bravo for making what could be dry content very engaging! Thanks bballjo. You're helping me have a successful realistic mode city in this game

[@bballjo]

Thank you very much! Often when I record an episode, I start, do the intro, and then look at the clock and it says 51mins...when I point that out it's actually real..there is no "let me just quick..." In this game.

[@Erikon2000]

Thank you for the videos, they are awesome! I have 1800hrs of WR:SR and still I pick up a thing or two every time! :D Nice tip about 6 container truck I guess I've missed it somehow. I had a dry-bulk storage full of cement burnt to the ground ... 2500 tons of mixed waste. I wish I knew about it back than. I love the weather in this game (especially fog, it's really cool here), but that shining white snow is killing my eyes. Most of the time I use F3 mode as a brightness filter of sorts, otherwise I can't stand it

[@bballjo]

Yeah...I'm glad the default night got more viewable...but that snow glare is a lot to deal with. F3 as a filter sounds intriguing

[@brantknudson8194]

Another option to deal with trains from the depot going to the fuel station is to electrify your rails from the beginning.

[@bballjo]

You can't refuel trains with electricity...we call that a cop out ;)

[@MrHaggyy]

The common solution for real trains would be fuel lines. They split to the side from the two main lines and are usually integrated into regular freight and service tracks. On a freight station you would need the typical 200-450m, on a service track it's usually just the locomotive. Which one is being used depends on how flexible or fixed the train assembly used to be.

[@Brolucas3]

Congratulations, I love watching your videos

[@SuperAd1980]

13:37 - and you still didn't notice there's no trash collection point for those 2 buildings. 🤣 It's all good, I know you're like 10 episodes ahead (or more). Still really enjoying everything 👍👍

[@bballjo]

Well...I found them eventually, but by then they were covered by something different;)

[@SuperAd1980]

@@bballjo I wasn't panicking. I knew you'd find them eventually. 👍👍 And the odd set of flats without outside skips isn't going burn everything to the ground.

[@SuperAd1980]

I was pretty sure roundabouts made everything slower, especially if you add nodes together so traffic stops even further away. I predict issues IF traffic becomes enough to need something other than a simple X-roads junction. Still lovin' the series - You should always ignore me most of the time - I mostly post for the algorithm (and I like to complain 😜)

[@bballjo]

You just have to properly sign them, and then they will work.

[@KerboOnYT]

Wow, there's a lot going on. Exciting times for the Republic!

[@bballjo]

It's just the beginning 😀

[@merobingowie8368]

Yay frist rail is always happy to see. Sad... I thought you would leave a small heating plant as a souvenir or something similar.😄

[@bballjo]

Could have...

[@DudokX]

Interesting, i am a new player (started playing after 1.0 release) and i didn't even know about the traffic signage until now. Trying my own city on hard but not realistic but considering switching to realistic mid game.

[@SapphireProductionsOfficial]

7:58 “for right now I will allow it” 😂

[@justhere4637]

8:22 Train with 35% in 13 years? Wow.

[@achimelale9974]

Rest of the two tons is available on the black market now.

[@Yarmoss]

Loving the series. Just bought the game this weekend and muddling through my own realistic mode. How do you control what kind of path your buildings get when connecting to a road? My buildings built off an asphalt road get asphalt paths, those built off gravel roads get gravel paths, and I don't know how to change this?

[@bballjo]

Its always the same "tier" of road. You can't change it afaik

[@Yarmoss]

Oh, thats a shame. Guess I shouldn't have laid an asphalt road to begin with for my downtown. It took sooo long for anything to get built with each building with a road connection getting its own little 5m of asphalt connection haha! Thanks for the response 👍

[@bballjo]

Hold left Ctrl to not get those auto connections, then you just put down whatever you want

[@Yarmoss]

@@bballjo oh awesome, I'll give that a try. Thank you very much!

[@rouch2]

Does 2 road lane roundabout have better capacity or anyhing than 1 lane road one? Also you dont have a good entrances angles so vehicles enter slowly.(Or is it on popuse?)

[@bballjo]

I left the entrance angles as 90 to see what happens if the exit angles are better...i.e. is the internal flow better...looks like it would have been better to make both angles smoother

[@mechamotioisma]

26:23 Consider a third option: Make this return in the same location, but do it on an individual track parallel to the one that passes through the depot, so that the train that has just fueled up, when making the return, will not block the train delivering crops. And this will also open up the possibility for the crop delivery train to go ahead and refuel on the same runabout. You solve rail traffic jam, train fuelling and train delivery with a few metters of rail at the same spot and time. Thank me later.

[@bballjo]

Allowing a fuel bypass is what causes issues for many when they try to use diesel trains...don't think that's what we want.

[@TheF0rseti]

...but there are factory connections which prevent tracks going through there. Sorry

[@mnk97]

It is shame that you fastforward / skip a bit :(

[@bballjo]

Curious to know what you think you missed?

[@neutralguy3221]

@@bballjo I may have missed it but I've been following along and definitely missed the double prefab research portion as well as a few utilities around the town. I think you placed a water and sewage towards the bottom two flats near the fire station. Another I feel I missed was a portion of the power lines running to the substation in front of the large heating plant. The research for prefabs was going in the last episode but I don't remember the double prefab research being chosen.

[@SHIBA320yt]

Hi Bballjo. How are you supplying water to the city???

[@bballjo]

With water trucks? I think? Maybe we've switched to pressurized water by now?

[@SHIBA320yt]

@@bballjo so you basically tell the water truck to go pick up the water at the border and then drop it in the water substation in the city? I had no idea this is possible!

[@1Rictec]

we can just buy the track layer on the building is it a new thing now?

[@bballjo]

No...it's always been that way when you don't play realistic settings

[@1Rictec]

@@bballjo ok, there is anyway of knowing what change in realistic mode? i didn't knew that

@1Rictec realistic mode only means you can't magically import anything, that's all. There are also tooltips when you start a new game

[@Calthaza]

Which Track Layer is the "big" one?

I think it's called EMD, EZM or something like that...big blue crane, can't miss it, hefty price too

[@bballjo]

If you want me to summarize the first 5 hours of the game, then you've come to the wrong place... everything you need to know is recorded, if you want to learn there are no shortcuts.

[@nyoodmono4681]

Once you are in such high debt you might recover but you lose a lot of time. It is better to completly avoid any debt. So the question is how did you play and what did you invest in? bballjo saved a lot of money by skipping the large heat plant and the water treatment and by inviting 3rd world people efficently, while rushing nuclear research. One way to get rid of money problems is to build large farms first and export the grain. If you go for a city first you are better off using smaller versions of buildings and start any kind of export, be it alcohol, clothing or even gravel and from there save money to start new projects without a loan if possible. Oil is super efficent, pump jacks need no workers and only one truck each to export, without building expensive pipes early.

[@karlhungus545]

You must have taken a $500K loan here between Ep 6 and 7 and I missed it?

[@bballjo]

@@karlhungus545 I didn't take a loan until #20 ish, so no. No hidden loans

[@bballjo]

@@karlhungus545 I mean...nuclear industry makes good money...look at the months difference between the episodes, but I think 1 truck load is worth around 250k

[@bballjo]

So...you had me go back and look. There was a lot of construction completed, and the whole existing road network got upgraded, in the end there was a full year between episodes...half a million is just what was leftover after doing all that.

[@karlhungus545]

@@bballjo At the very end of Ep 6 you had $156K, and at the very start of Ep 7 you had $701,910 K. So you did all that work in a year, and still had almost $600k more than the previous episode? It could be the nuclear fuel I guess. I am going to skip clothes in my current playthrough and head straight to nuclear fuel as I find myself unable to keep going without a loan or two.
