Yeaaaah kind of what I expected, I’m just going to have to play with it. I do really enjoy having perpetual consumers - I think that’s a good economic addition, but it all depends on how it actually plays.

Eyebrow decidedly went up when I saw that you need to essentially start importing plastic etc. from day 1(ish) to maintain your fleet. Obviously it depends on how much they actually use to refurbish a vehicle. The automatic replacement screen looks like a dream and a nightmare. Being able to automatically upgrade older vehicles to newer models is a godsend but it seems like it is splitting up vehicles by age and type and in lategame republics that will be a lot of entries.

I assume it's going to be a pretty small amount, just have to build a repair depot and assign it to a DO. You need fractional amounts of those to even build new vehicles so repairs can't be more than that or there'd be no point.

I didn't see any mention of a free version of the repair depot, so in realistic mode, maintenance might be something that you end up ignoring so that you don't have to spend construction resources on it early on. It might actually push me toward cheaper throwaway vehicles to start with, since currently I fall into using the best "bang for your buck" vehicles in the particular year where I'm playing.

They could do some neat stuff like have Soviet vehicles requiring more maintenance but being cheap to fix vs western ones being more reliable but expensive to buy and maintain. I just wish they'd address the current issues with maintaining workers before adding more required workplaces.

A thing that would really change stuff is needing to get your workers back home again after their shifts. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Philippe posted:A thing that would really change stuff is needing to get your workers back home again after their shifts. if I report this post will you please probe yourself for this suggestion??? I think we collectively chatted about it in the thread earlier but I do wish there was some benefit to like, running inter-city trains. Technically it would kind of load balance random passengers being able to shop and stuff I guess? But it would be cool if somehow linking things like that gave you access to a labor pool in a different way... I dunno. My point is that I want to run trains from city to city and barring one city lacking a service, there's not really much reason to other than roleplay.

Yeah, you COULD build your cities in such a way that there's lots of small outlying towns with very minimal services and the only way to get to the fancy stuff like a department store and a cinema is to take a train from the small town to the big city, but... this will just result in all your little guys defecting because they couldn't figure out how to take a train to see a movie and just sat in the Shitgrad train station being bored for a year.

They could make "going to a different place" a need all of its own. The game has tourism, but not intra-republic tourism, just foreigners. I think it could be cool if people want to visit their families in different parts of the republic once a year or so. With a corresponding happiness boost. Doesn't have to actually track family relationships, just people wanting to enter a different city entity and completing a need there.

Careful if you rely on your own crops for food or clothing: this also makes time between harvests longer

I figured that might be the case, I haven’t tried it out yet because I’ve been on other games. It would be nice if crops could somehow be separated. Give me a spring and summer planting cycle or something.

I just got this game and have already sunk an ungodly number of hours into it. Playing with most things turned off because I have no idea what I'm building, but I'm slowly building up a small town close to a NATO border. It's incredibly inefficient, but no maintenance and no fuel turned on means I can just spam trucks to do everything.

I hope that GG1 goes into the game, I love those things. It's a little early for the game timeline (though some were still in service) so they might only be including the engine in the foreground of that image.

Okay, it's time to ask: I always build my towns to have all services within walking distance of apartments, and the central bus/train station that leads to the industry has to be accessible to the vast majority of residentials. This leads to my towns being a footpath spiderweb (which is also slow to build) and kind of painful to design. Is there a better way for bigger cities to transport both your labor and the 'free time' consumers around efficiently? basically 'how do you do public transport within a city'

It only works if your bus or tram or whatever stops at a station for every type of need. Citizens aren't smart enough to check the bus schedule to see if it actually goes somewhere that has what they want, so if it doesn't they'll just ride around on the vehicle until their recreation time is over.

Kind of, but with one important caveat I think. I believe the behavior is that they’ll queue at a stop, but won’t board a line that can’t satisfy their needs. This is why you’ll get full stops of people looking for prayer but no one gets on the bus when it shows up.

so do they only scan for the buildings within range of the next stop or do they scan all buildings within range of all stops on the line before getting on?

double nine posted:so do they only scan for the buildings within range of the next stop or do they scan all buildings within range of all stops on the line before getting on? Note this behavior is what can lead to infinite loops of cruising on the bus for no reason if you turn on transfer but don't manage what types of person are allowed at transfer stops. They aren't pathfinding to a destination in transfer scenarios, just checking if the buildings connected to a route can accept that sort of person and it's up to you to tune it to allow transfers of only workers, leisures, or students.

People will only board a vehicle if there is a valid destination for them somewhere on the line.

The public beta (grab it on steam betas, if you like) is out with Waste management, demolition, maintenance, fertilizing, etc. Seems really neat! I'll be trying it out later. Caution that everytime I've tried their betas they are truly betas and have had some nasty bugs until their main official update.

Also it incorporates a bunch of mod building so its a good opportunity to go through your mod list and trim it down a bit. I managed to get mine below 700!

I was skeptical about trash, demo, maintenance and recycling, but its good. It's certainly getting into *some* annoyances but I think it integrates well with the other games systems better than say, water and sewer. (I am still playing with the slightly-buggy "Time goes 4x slower mod because god drat, yet *another* thing that takes extra time to accomplish stuff. An army of trucks shouldn't take a year and a half to destroy a small old-town 3k from the border.) There's a ton of tiny QOL things I'm noticing that I missed. More numbers for angles and things when placing curved roads. You can delete ghost/blueprint buildings without unpausing (wooo.) I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. Research is alright. It's better than I thought certainly! The gating isn't *overly* annoying - though I still get mad about some - and a lot of the additions are good. I'm excited to try out the "Lumberjacks replant trees" among other new ones. I wonder if I can use the reduce birthrate one enough to actually balance a population and not have to wonder if my stats for escapes are just from overcrowding or not. There's also various ones for pollution and things that could be promising, though given my propensity for playing super-duper long saves (that I never finish) I suspect I'll finish the research all up front before I need it, really.

Hell yeah, this will allow to upgrade panel roads to asphalt There’s a little bit of strange behavior with destroying stuff I can’t figure out exactly. It seems like if there is something attached to a road on more than one node (so, not a dead end road) it will revert to dirt. If instead you destroy a road that has *only* a single connection (a dead end, basically) I think it gets rid of it entirely. I need to experiment with it and see if that’s how it works before I have to destroy a thousand tiny gravel paths of an old town with village houses.
