euphronius posted:How could I set up a Clothes warehouse that local DOs take from to fill domestic stores but an export DO will start exporting once the warehouse is over 50% full. Literally like that, set a DO to pick up at any level, send to stores, and then another DO to pick up at 50% full, send to border. They cannot be the same DO because you can't make specific orders conditional, so if you set it to unload at the border and the stores it will just pick them at random or something, there is no method to set one destiation for >50% fullness and one for otherwise except for making two separate DOs with one of those loading/unloading behaviours in each.

I have the warehouse connected to a road cargo station . Would that gently caress it up ? The export DO is exporting everything even tho I have it set to 50%

No it should work fine through road cargo stations. It's the source % that needs to be set to 50% Also are you absolutely sure your other DO is not set up to interact with the border and it's also technically set up to allow exports of clothes?

A road station shouldn't mess it up, same with loaders, etc. Post your setup I guess?

I got it working I was getting confused because the export DO trucks were immediately doing stuff as soon as I connected the buildings and before I could set the cutoff to 50% or whatever. I recall teleported them back to the export DO and they behaved thereafter

There's some crusher of a bug building railways where you have "snap" turned on and connect two existing snapped nodes. I think the game believes it overconstrained and can't handle it. Saving every drat minute trying to build a railyard.

So just a little tip, do your underground things in small segments where you end each segment at a major slope change. I didn't find out until it was way too late why these cables were taking so long.

Don’t get me wrong the behavior makes sense but it’s just another one of those W&R brain damages you have to know.

This has been a really slow save but I've been really digging it so far. I took some time to decorate a block of flats with all the fancy yards and ploppable sidewalks/sidewalk "junk" like benches and all that.

I would have to assume so, but the fact that the grid can't be realigned seems to demand that every city have an exact orientation rather than a relative one, so instead of being able to orient parallel to the river, they're oriented at a weird angle instead.

See, this is wrong, because a direct line from A to B uses the least amount of steel, the fact that it also takes a hundred thousand workdays to complete is irrelevant, the people's steel is a finite resource, the people's sweat is endless.

This isn't a bad take during the first few years, to be honest. The cost of steel far outweighs the cost of the people who otherwise don't have industry to work yet, so manpower-heavy decisions for construction actually isn't a bad idea yet.

No, but that’s a personal failing. I forgot to try and work with that when I started building, but often enough the spacing I want between buildings or even buildings themselves not being a perfect 5/10m divisible width means that it ends up being pretty hard to use it heavily anyway. On the other hand it’s absolutely great for getting roads absolutely straight which makes it a whole hell of a lot easier to then deal with getting things aligned nicely in blocks while working “freehand.”

I would probably put it on the latest experimental build in steam for the new features, it's pretty stable I find. Otherwise if you do that, probably no as they added the new conveyor tower options that should hopefully make building those easier. E: oh yeah you could consider small industries and services if you want, the game does kinda have some pretty big buildings for your early settlements.

ThisIsJohnWayne posted:Nothing, since your republic is actually well built Bold of you to assume that. The game keeps going once you reach the 90s, I just consider it a personal deadline, which is why I do a 1960 start. For your first game, turn off crime, loyalty, water/sewage, possibly traffic, and turn down citizen reactions. You may want to set other settings down as well. Pick the easy financial start, since you'll almost certainly abandon your first game, and you WILL spend a bunch of money just learning how things work. For mods, along with smaller versions of things, there's a 3->3 sewage switch that IMO is absolutely vital once you decide to try playing with sewage enabled. The mods around conveyor systems are mostly unnecessary now that you can actually elevate the tower systems yourself. DO pick up mods that allow for factory connection crossings with roads and rails. You may want to get some churches, since they can't be built otherwise (  ) and you might want to play around with that. I find the mods of additional electric transformers and switches (such as, but not limited to this one) absolutely vital, along with the one that has 4-way electric junctions for both mid and high electric, etc.Play around a little, then browse the workshop. Bear in mind that there are a lot of workshop items to handle previously missing or broken functionally, which are no longer relevant.

Honestly while all the mod reccs are good the only thing I might reccommend is “mid-height conveyor towers” and then just learn how the game works. This might change if you’re very confident and not overwhelmed by these sorts of games but a few people I’ve introduced the game to got way overwhelmed by mods, not really realizing how the buildings worked yet. There’s arguably nothing truly must have when you’re learning the game (and experience would tell me you’re going to restart about 50 times) so my advice would be learn a bit and then go back and grab small industries and things.

Yeah fires are fairly boring and binary other than they do really serve the “can’t just outgrow yourself wildly” check for distant things unless you get helicopters. They should never be on high though.

I've been doing it in Cosmonaut so it definitely works. The one that butters my biscuit is that you're unable to import track builders at all beyond a certain size. Forget needing to be disabled, they aren't allowed to just chug themselves in. I'm not sure how you are supposed to get them except to build them at a rail construction plant. Also, does anyone know how the happiness mechanic works? Does it just go by a combination of access to things and needs satisfaction? It's very unclear why some citizens are unhappy. I've even started putting down restaurants and amusements to see what that does.

Yes you can, buy them at the border and reassign them to the construction office if you can't buy them directly from the CO. I literally bought the big blue one as soon as I had a rail connection from the CO to the border.

euphronius posted:I never saw a helicopter available to by at a border office You don't buy them at the border office, there is a pair of little boxes on the right hand side of the screen that are the "beyond the border" offices, the place where ships and aircraft go when you send them off map. You can click on them and buy basically anything in the game there, and then either issue the vehicles commands if they can move under their own power, or collect them using vehicles which can travel beyond the border. So, for aircraft, you either need a helipad not attached to anything (as if you buy a vehicle at a building, it needs to be able to dock with that building and border crossings do not have helipads attached therefore you cannot buy helicopters at them, a fire station with a helipad attached should work too but if not just use a generic helipad) or you need to buy them from "beyond the border" and tell them to move to a new depot, i.e either a helipad or a fire station with helipad.

You can buy anything from there, including boats, it's designed to allow you to do an island start provided you have at least a basic port built at the start. Not sure if it will let you buy a port with roubles for a few days at the start like it does some other things.
