[@bbrruuhhhhh19]

Can play victoria 3 in the next update

[@TheArklyte]

Tbh I prefer NOT renaming(or bulldozing) prebuilt towns to at least pretend to conserve historical legacy of the country.

[@TheArklyte]

@@PugnaciousProductions that's why they're on the other side of the border, duh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@brianbrooks5366]

As someone who wanted so badly for the old workers and resource play through to continue this really brightened my day

[@simonrudholm1710]

Building a giant shopping mall is not unrealistic. They did stuff like that when they planned to build a big city there in the future

[@spicytee133]

It definitely gives the vibe of "huge walmart in the middle of a semi-rural suburb in Arkansas."

[@shigarumo121]

It's like those metro stations in the middle of nowhere in China, because they already planed the rest of the city expansion.

[@OfficialUSKRprogram]

The soviets were also known to build apartment blocks in the middle of nowhere. "You could used those resources to build an entire hamlet!" "Comrade, there is no such thing as rural living." "What?"

[@panda5996]

After playing the game for the first 10 mins, I learned that the real downfall of communism is that they couldn’t parallel align their roads and buildings…

[@The_CGA]

@@panda5996you can do it, with a bit of the pen and paper geometry 📐 technique from HS-set down two survey makers and get out the compass pencil and scribe marks (dirt road)

[@sovietred7371]

I just found this game...HOW have I missed it all these years, this is my new favorite game when it comes to spending time in a single player

[@jacksonmosqueda8898]

Finally more workers and resources!! Probably one of my favorite games and I'm glad to see you play it again

[@kylehollenbeck9585]

Workers, resources and TRAINS! This was an unexpected development and I'm so ready

[@Arjen900]

Surprised the views are still so low, please don't let it discourage you. Missed this almost as much as i did planet zoo

[@rinzler85t66]

Finally it’s back workers and resources one of the best games you’ve had on your channel party. Can’t wait to see even more episodes. And see what’s new.

[@tigrovica8417]

The calling of the desert has never been stronger. I have been getting ready for a desert playtrhough for a long time. Glad to see you back supreme leader.

[@joshuabanner3675]

For the love of Marx, Cluster technical, construction, and distribution around repair offices. It saves you a lot of management later on.

[@brotherbadger6678]

I heard about the 1.0 release the other day on Reddit and my first thought was "Ooh, I hope Party does another Let's Play...!". I was a big fan of your last 'mini' series. Absolutely stoked for the return of W&R to the channel! To the Workers of the World and the Party Elite, Tovarisch!

[@TheAshHeritor]

This game is absolutely wild. Would never be one I'd like to play myself, but it is very engaging to watch someone who knows what they're doing (you, in this case). Would love to see more!

[@beaub152]

I fell the same way about a lot of games like this lol

[@theonenameless5262]

Wild is the correct word. Ive played it for a total of ~100hours and I am so bad at it. The challenge begins when your small shitty town grows into a city and you're still low on money and can't expand fast enough to meet their demands. I love the game but damn it loves to absolutely destroy me 😂

[@keiththomas8957]

More more more!! I enjoyed your long run in the previous play thru. Love this game.😊

[@noahrumpel3437]

MEIN GOTT im never playing another city building game in my life this looks fantastic. Thank you for introducing me to this game! cheers.

[@noahjohnson935]

I just discovered your channel and this game and I am loving both so far! Love your little bits of lore for why the Soviet Republic is being established

[@castinar1]

Can't wait for full release. Time to dive back in to my 1900s startup -- been a while since I dove in! Looking forward to more of this series!

[@mrnoahboa1369]

THE RETURN, big fan of this game and your content. So stoked to watch this playthrough!!

[@DigitalZiggurat]

Thank you for this, I was so lost trying to play on realistic mode I don't know what I'd do without this series.

[@KerboOnYT]

Nice! I look forward to seeing this desert play through Edit: 39:08 there is a button. Expand the construction menu on lower right with red plus. You can also set all construction to be suspended by default

[@ЯворХаризанов]

I'm glad you like this game Party Elite! Looking forward for this long and fun playthrough! Good luck!

[@sanchitchavan1622]

He's Back🎉🎉 I can't express how excited I am for this series. I recently completed the first series and wanted it to continue and now it's time for next series. And I love to see Party play with all those narrative and play style. Always here to support. Keep it up Party 👍

[@avivsalomon3372]

i watched your last playthrough until the very end! Excited to watch another one

[@massimocole9689]

So glad to see this series again.

[@brianbrooks5366]

I’ve been so used to you just going with the flow when building and placing roads on manor lords, the return of everything needs to be properly placed party was definitely an adjustment 😂

[@slr4456]

As someone who learned how to play the game thanks to your original series, I'm so glad there's a new series. Especially since a lot has changed since that original series, when the game was still in its infancy. I am so ready to learn the new mechenics now.

[@SrMikicas]

I remember many year's ago watching all of the first series, then life goes on and just scrolling through and we have a brand new series! Keep it up, can't wait to see how this map gets shapen.

[@21beal21]

its so funny how meaningful it can be to make just one building in this game.. CS we can plop down 30 homes at a time no problem, feel nothing, W&R you make your first grocery store after hours of planning and we get a sweet dopamine rush haha I'm lovin this game way too much

[@valkanrs2908]

SOOOO Stoked to have another Workers and Resources series from you. I basically tried to play along with your last series (until my pc just couldnt handle it anymore) Now i've got a new pc, and it's time to play along again :D

[@thatguy7683]

This is an amazing game, and i love the level of detail you can get into, and i am greatful to have someone like you to be explaining this game as though your viewers are brand new to the game as i just yesterday heard of it, this series has gained you a +1 subscribers from me

[@CarlosMiguel-kq9gh]

Excited for many more episodes of this series

[@Brusselpicker]

This game is great to watch. I love the complexity and the real economic and social consequences of the decisions you take. Its not a city builder its a society builder.

[@TheGheseEffect]

I’m looking how hard you made this series. Please keep it going, you just got a new viewer! This is how I would play the game settings wise! You seem as interested as I am in the actual story of these regions, looking forward to the next episode!

[@CodyIsDaBaws]

So excited to see the return of Workers and Resources!! I swear sometimes I would still hear the soundtrack in my head lol

[@JAMMED_UP]

I’ve always wanted to try realistic mode, and this encouraged me to finally do it. Awesome video man!

[@smallmammal247]

Great start to a new series, looking forward to the next episodes! :)

[@TheArklyte]

While BelAZ is awesome starting dumper for mining industry with its 25t capacity, it's painfully slow at 35kph. Tatra might have been better choice here though indeed, it won't last as long because once you're done with using BelAZ for construction, you can always "retire" it to mining, where it's ideally suited. Meanwhile Tatra will eventually be retired by bigger and faster trucks, but will keep being suboptimal for niche applications too. Tl:dr technically you chose right, but it'll be painful watching it go to customs and back.

[@MiguelAbd]

But if the Tatra can't move at twice the speed with half the volume, how is it better than the BelAZ? I don't really understand that,

[@TheArklyte]

@@MiguelAbd 1)slow vehicle block all vehicles going behind them; 2)there's also the road to the source of the resource which both trucks make empty and having double capacity has no effect on making that trip more optimal; 3)buildings don't have precise resource requirements that match either truck. You will need to make multiple trips with either one. BelAZ is ideal tool for small stone quarry though as that building has no internal storage and can work only as long as there's a truck ready to be loaded.

[@MiguelAbd]

​@@TheArklytethat makes a lot of sense! Thanks for explaining it. I think I might switch to the Tatra with all that in mind.

[@TheArklyte]

@@MiguelAbd don't. Better load empty map in creative and try which one works best for you. I'm still on the fence about those, but idk what methodology to use to calculate the optimal range and required loads these trucks. Maybe I'll post some better info once I test it... yeah, in like 5 year time🤣

[@veerandgames]

I just bought the game... thank you for always providing entertaining and informative videos! :)

[@tarunkumaral6711]

Really enjoyed it hope you continue this series and it is as long as the last series. Hope to see more.

[@kyle5277]

I build a free storage for each resourse: steel, boards, etc. Otherwise they get drained too quick like you saw in your episode. So happy to see you play again

[@stefandebeer9375]

The return of the King!!!🔥

[@Corusame]

This game has a surprising amount of depth and the level of detail is very impressive, good to see that the devs are actively improving the game and adding more content. Talking of active devs another game that's surprised me recently is Songs of Silence, the early access version just came out and I've been playing it a lot. At first I thought it looks fantastic but the gameplay seemed rather simplistic but then realised it uses unlocks as a main form of progression. There's actually 120 unlockable units and 80+ spell/battle tactics that you can use, some that even control specific formations to override the automatic nature of the battles like 'Hold the line' and 'charge'. There's a lot of hidden depth and complexity here I think. Can't wait to experiment more with it.

[@hakenaton9031]

Thank you Party !!! So thrilled about this new gameplay.

[@cmcc3721]

This developer has created an absolute diamond but i just cannot get excited about this DLC. It goes against everything that is concrete and cold which makes this game soooooooooo good. On that very same note though, i cannot deny , i will throw money at everything they create in future. Just for the very simple fact that they have restored my faith in the gaming industry after MANY years of disappointment.

[@cassaralla5812]

So happy to see W&R return to the channel!

[@husambarham3779]

This game is something else, it is a wonder of gaming industry simply put.

[@ilenastarbreeze4978]

It has been years since ive seen this game and so ive enjoyed the explainations

[@Tekhamar]

Glad I found this channel. Excited for more W&R.

[@tombass7935]

I haven't played for a couple years, waiting for the 1.0. I appreciate you giving the explanations to see what's all changed. Going to hop back in when it finally goes gold on the 20th.

[@pierrebertier]

Great to see more and new W&R ! Thanks. Excavators are usefull to speed up first phase of constructions. As cranes do for the the second & third. So I definitly use them at the very start.

[@BaronVonMott]

The main reason I'm hyped for the 1.0 release is the inclusion of proper tutorials. I've dabbled in the game before, but the complexity is so daunting, I get overwhelmed! It'll be nice to finally have the ability to walk through the mechanics step by step, and actually learn how to play properly!

[@cicik57]

Each you tuber need to learn to govern a state 😂

[@TheDeadSource]

Sadly even at release the game's tutorialisation is pretty terrible, although the instruction sets in the main campaigns aren't too bad.

[@Halfapint01]

I absolutely love this game. First time seeing your channel, looking forward to more episodes!

[@texoschannel4907]

Love the game, love realistic difficulty. I feel the game really opens up in that difficulty, I just can’t get enough of it :)

[@Erik-1996]

Happy to see workers and resources again. Thanks

[@kirohaas3193]

Partystan's first ever grocery store!

[@danieldunn25]

It’s so strange that you just uploaded this. I was debating re-watching your first series on this game, look forward to seeing more in the new biome and 1.0!

[@darrylweinstein5272]

As long as there's another 250 videos to come, I'll be watching them

[@leonamvonborowsky7559]

honestly, the way this game is granular really sets in many marxist concepts on the value of labour, and the way primitive capital is generated and used in a society.

[@leonamvonborowsky7559]

I think it should be more transparent about this things through language, maybe its something the developers themselves didnt even notice. I still dont know if the Soviet aspect of it is satire or a genuine interest on the devs to show a urban and rural development from a communist perspective

[@luisitococtelito]

This game is one of a kind, its so huge that is intimidating. Finally, with the tutorial out, i could understand how the forklift workd and what those yellow roads meant, before this tutorial, well, i just did 1 confused run with a maze of industrial gear

[@RenatoAndrade144]

This game has always been on my radar and you convinced me to get it. Seems just like the kind of complicated game I enjoy. Loved the way you explained stuff.

[@mattparker9726]

YUSSSSSSSSSSSS PARTY ELITE BACK TO THE CLASSICS! 10/10 will recommend.

[@RyanPatrickOwens]

Unbelievable series. Thanks for this!

[@stephenbonaci4831]

Been dying for 1.0 to release to start a new playthrough. This just teases me even more.

[@joshuadichter9080]

I have been waiting for you to return of this game, I actually saw the trailer then immediately saw this video

[@Quarhodron1]

You coud name that shop "New hope" as it is a new place where everyone can make his dream in soviet republic!

[@Quarhodron1]

I am happy that you start another series of soviet republic! That was series that make me subscribe that chanel!

[@gordonberg3952]

I am new to the game and like the way you explain what is going on and how things need to be done. I have subscribed and look forward to learning more from your videos. Thanks

[@KarolOfGutovo]

The water connection and the river seem to be great for using small barges and a larger port for export.

[@biye9060]

i remember your old series glad to see you're back😀

[@oldylad]

Thing I like about this game is that unlike some other city builders research isn’t literal research. You are not colonizing a new planet, this is Earth, you also aren’t the biggest or richest cities on earth. The “research” amounts to actions more so than discovery. You survey your landscape for oil, you influence the east or west for a new customs house. While not always action over discovery, I like this a lot. It research in games never makes much sense imo, and this game does it very well

[@oldylad]

Also, you probably know by now but using construction machinery like excavators and cranes makes the process of construction waaaay faster

[@oldylad]

lol you got it by the end. The excavator does the same for the groundworks phase and some of the other machines are very useful when you start making asphalt or gravel roads

[@Knightaxe]

I love that you started anew and is explaining everything ^^ i wanted to get in your playing this game but it was just too massive to start up on and get up to date on it ^^

[@adamelestratega]

This is a nice change of pace from the usual KZbin editing

[@2avcrm]

I loved the last series and am looking forward to this one.

[@darthvegan]

I haven't played W&R in ages, so this has definitely rekindled my interest!

[@esorevikofficial]

WELCOME BACK, TOVARICH! WE MISSED YOU🎉

[@deathlytree434]

Amazing playthrough love this game i missed it so much

[@evanpritsos3829]

I'm so happy to see this series return! It was one of the first things that drew me to your channel. Maybe Victoria 3 coming back too?

[@Pancoleon]

Your video is how I've just found out there's going to be a Biome DLC and I'm very excited to see more of what it has to offer! Heads up wrt the Dumper: the 25t capacity dumper has a max speed of only 35km/h, aka dirt road speeds. Bc of that it'll slow down other vehicles behind it on roads and its double capacity travels at half the speed of vehicles that cost a third of its price, so those dumpers usually are more value for time & money. IMO they're not worth it early game or for long-distance construction, but are very useful for hauling quarried stone from gravel quarries to storage or processing plants bc you don't really want to bother paving the roads up to the quarries regardless. EDIT: ALSO! For the cranes, excavators, and bulldozers: Excavators and bulldozers can work without any workers and can do the groundworks phase of building construction. That means you don't need to import workers to lay gravel roads or do the groundworks and only need to pay for expensive labour for the later sections such as brick laying. Cranes meanwhile don't do anything by themselves but, as you saw, massively increase the rate at which workers complete construction phases so you can get more work done with fewer foreign workers. If you want to micro your construction industry, you can manually assign construction offices to worksites and only assign a crane + bus office to work sites once the groundwork is done.

[@sweaty_spaghetti]

Very excited for this series!

[@icreatedanaccountforthis1852]

This is crazy detailed.

[@kasperlangelundjakobsen9709]

Yaaaaaah! Love watching you play this game :)

[@wescube]

Been thinking of getting this game but I'll have a look at you playing it before I actually get it. So its good timing from your part!

[@stevesmith7065]

Im in Ukraine rn as an American playing this ❤ i love soviet things

[@DTraub]

Love the series, thanks!

[@jasa_m7990]

such a good game, can't wait for 1.0 to become public access!

[@TheFinn70]

I'm missing TI, but I am looking forward to more of this - it's the first time I've given it a look. The level of simulation is crazy!

[@Yorkil33]

Its good to see W&R back :)

[@amshermansen]

I didn't even know about the biomes DLC. Very interesting to do a desert soviet state. :)

[@bigmanjr8707]

I do really enjoy seeing a city builder with this level of detail. Really interesting compared to the more abstract city builders like city skyline.

[@paulvinsick9454]

This is great! Keep them coming!

[@dysonraf]

It would be great if you could do either a very short tutorial series or a one off episode. I watched your previous workers and resources for a good chunk of episodes and coming back to the game after a few years and can't remember half of it! In the meantime I'll keep watching these videos for tips and tricks!

[@misterinadequate3518]

Not a game I'm very good at playing, however I do love watching you play it.

[@oceanjaspervids2721]

The pumpjack trick reminds me of Dwarf Fortress’s Dwarven Sonar (hovering down invisible Z-levels with a farm plot selected until it shows as placeable to find out where the caves are before you’re supposed to)

[@jacobhill3302]

My one and only question: Can you build an RBMK reactor?

[@jontaylor1652]

I love it, my most favourite game ever!

[@KarolOfGutovo]

54:30 cranes are work multipliers - the level iirc marks how many workers they can assist. Excavators however can work with no workers on-site.
