I never thought of this game being so much better than any other building city game I've ever played before I got it and played it and now I can't even think about how much I was actually missing out on other city building games that this game has and every city building game needs to be like this.

Well, look here, we're meant to be better than the capitalists. That means not fuelling our economy off debts that never get repaid. Their insane drive for profit will kill them. We must be more measured. We have to be the better people here.

[@silakkalaatikko]

You see comrade, he gather money for good of people!

[@ThePuma1707]

“Soviets” are actually nothing more than “worker councils”, so a soviet republic is nothing more than a worker/peasant republic. also Socialism still has money, the means of production just belong to the people, under communism there is neither money, not a state. a classless, stateless and moneyless society!

[@stimpymcstimp6442]

It's a bit late but to correct something here: it's not a city builder, it's a state builder! Multiple towns, villages and cities are created on a very large map with each their own specialisation and transport those goods. For example to run food factories and farms just a small town is enough but to let a steelmill run at max you just need a city for that alone and seeing that making enough food requires lots of space villages are easier to maintain. Also a mining village can be way better to keep the mines running and having bare essentials while having a bus/train route to the larger town or city in the valley below for the more advanced needs like a hospital. So yeah, it's a bit bigger is scale then a city builder

[@thundersoul6795]

@@bill_the_butcher Nobody said there can't be subsubgenres, what with city builders being a subgenre of simulation. There can be city builders, there can be state builders(SimCity4 could actually fit that description what with its massive main map), there can be hamlet builders(RimWorld somewhat counts, there's also those simplistic medieval-and-before games popping up).

You may want to start building storages. Mine--->ore storage--> processor plant-->product storage--> powerplant Keeping production running without buffers like this is close to impossible at larger scale. It's kinda must have for power plants to avoid domino efect. Thanks for a nice video!

By the way you were ablsolutly right about the electrical power and Lenin. By his reforms in 20s most part of the country was covered by electrical network, people saw electricity first time in their lives. 20s meme is a light bulb named "Ilyich's bulb" (Lampochka Ilyicha, Ilyich - Lenin's middle name).

[@christianfreedom-seeker934]

I though it was Khrushchev who finally fixed that problem? One thing I should point out: The Capitalist USA (i miss her!) Gave a TON of assistance to the USSR and in effect, kept the zombie walking.

You've probably figured this out by now, 59 episodes in, but I'm pretty sure those worker counts are per 8 hour shifts, so triple the amount of available workers per workplace so that each place has the workforce to be manned 24/7, figuring out the bus timing so it's a constant flow is another matter for my brain at 2 am lol

[@thundersoul6795]

Eh, at least back then the prices for what essentially is a concrete box weren't outrageously inflated to the point where mortgage slavery is a thing. I'll take being thrown into an unsightly box with electricity, water and gas on a condition that I'll be useful to the people over being coerced with massive debts with a risk of being thrown out after getting raided by collectors if capitalism does its thing and doesn't land me a stable job with decent pay.

[@jezalx]

@@thundersoul6795 Yeah, in the GDR after the war, these new apartment blocks were the best places to live in, since the old houses in cities like berlin often had no heat, kitchen, etc.

[@Crimethoughtfull]

I lived near Amsterdam around 2015...some of those areas were no better. Grey concrete block housing...a park abutting against a housing block, with brick streets all 'round. As an American, it all seemed mildly dystopian. I mean, the brick streets were cool, but the 7 story concrete apartment blocs were like "whoa, we ain't in quaint touristy Holland anymore".

[@amykelley666]

By the way, I noticed for this game, the reason some buildings have more of a "footprint" is that it changes according to how much land you need to have leveled. If the area you want to place the building is perfectly leveled, the building will more-or-less only take up the size it actually is. The footprint indicates not only the size of the building but also how much land(if any) you need to level.

[@ObeyCamp]

Awwwww yeah. I just learned about this game from your "Top 5 Games of 2019" video and was instantly enamored by the game according to the awesome description you gave, and now I find out you've also got a Let's Play series about it that's nearly 70 episodes long?

[@TheKnownPlayer]

There is a neat trick that allows to level down even mountains using road flattening tool, all you need is to pull the road across the hill, and then, without relrasing LMB start to move the road silhouette until it becomes highlighted with yellow. And then you slowly level the terrain, digging the hill. Btw, the more excavators you have, the faster terraforming is. (For smoothing you'll need dozers).

[@hitandsunk]

What, no nukes to level mountains Soviet style! xD

[@TheKnownPlayer]

@@hitandsunk we used them to turn the rivers to the arid southern regions and to put out MASSIVE gas fires. Some pathetic bump is not worth it.

@@TheKnownPlayer You're right. Before my method the Soviet Union had the highest mountains of the world. But our great and glorious country felt pity for those people in the Himalayas, therefore we made that Mt Everest the highest. The stronger socialism, the safer the peace!
