What's the quick guide to getting waste management set up? Is there a distribution office/technical services equivalent for garbage trucks that I'm just not seeing in the building list

okay, when it comes to farms, what needs to be within walking distance of the bus stop? the field? the farm? both?

farms dont need people. farms are worked by vehicles, which in W&R are sentient beings that desire only gasoline and a parking space.

You usually don't get trains that early in Victoria 3. Honestly delaying them some more would make port and river infrastructure more meaningful.

Is there a distribution office/technical services equivalent for garbage trucks that I'm just not seeing in the building list I just finally slammed my head into both waste management and water/sewage enough to get it so: You do it through the same technical services, which you get a decent number of free ones. You have to designate where they'll take the trash but they'll collect everything in the radius the same way snow plows handle everything in the radius. The way I got off the ground was have the technical offices take the garbage to a transfer station (get the one with two slots or else you'll have some traffic jams) and then have a dedicated large container truck run the trash to the border. Small containers get handled by the garbage truck, big containers get handled by the big truck. Building a small container stand centralizes the trash for an area, ideally meaning fewer trips, but also completely replaces a building's internal storage so you have to stay on top of it. Demolition offices also need to be told where to throw trash. I just set up my gravel recycling so I have a dedicated aggregate storage for construction waste only, everything else goes to the transfer station for now. Still figuring out separation and designating bins but that's enough to keep me from choking in trash. There's also a dedicated Workers and Resources thread over in Games you should all check out since it's got pictures of other people's much better cities that you will never equal but are pretty to look at Benagain has issued a correction as of 17:05 on Aug 25, 2023 |

Benagain posted:I just finally slammed my head into both waste management and water/sewage enough to get it so: I didn't even consider shipping the waste out at the border lol. I guess that's a reason to put it into containers so you can ship it out en masse later? I figured I'd have to mess with landfill and incinerators and put up with the pollution. This was my most recent Republic prior to the waste update, where i worked out how to get water and sewage working:  the game really scratches that itch I had as a child in making like, lego dioramas or being excited by miniature railways at tourist attractions. I love watching it all buzz away like clockwork once set up

Tourist waste is like 50% bio by volume so you can use bin separation and compost it or just burn it for power.

Per Steam timer, I'm now around 20 hours counting reloads to scrap bad plans into the save I started when it came up in the thread. Late in tomorrow's play session, I should be able to finally invite my first citizens. Realistic mode owns once you know what you're getting into.

Can conveyors transfer more than one type of aggregate, like say if the output end of a storage that has coal, and the output end of a storage that has gravel both serve as an input to a transfer, and that transfer splits up again to a plant that wants coal, and a plant that wants gravel

Conveyors can handle multiple aggregate types but they only move one type per tick. This is pretty useful when dealing with recycling center output. There is a throughput limit so don't try to route everything through just one conveyor or something

Thanks folks. I've been experimenting more and it's almost like you want to build an entire compound of factories where they're oriented such that the inputs and outputs all feed into each other as neatly as possible instead of a rat's nest of conveyors.

One thing you can also do is use a DO and trucks for local delivery within the complex. This is good for industries handling relatively low volumes of various goods, like chemicals. A train can pick up and drop off from a warehouse or two and trucks can shuttle stuff around. Factory connections and conveyors are cheaper to operate but sometimes they just don't fit right.

one thing the game is missing is narrow-gauge rail and little industrial switching trains for moving things around a factory complex

There's those little Czech switchers now, only 40kph but they pull good. I keep one in a depot by the border to bring in new rolling stock.

Any pointers on vehicle repair? I've been able to limp along by microing things to a depot next to my garage, and I should have more leeway in the future because it's not a 6x bulk buy all rusting out at the same time anymore, but I'd like to get them smoothly reporting in at around 70%.

if you havent played any anno 1404 is the best one you can build debtor's prisons but debt doesnt seem to be a problem for anyone in your city. peasants are all just renting fields until they can save up enough money to buy them, as you do

gradenko_2000 posted:because I am on a citybuilding kick: is Anno 1800 any good? It's pretty popular but personally I burned out long before I exhausted the base content. I got it for a good price so I feel like I had my fun with it. It's more of a supply-chain builder than a city builder I think, you're just building houses and plopping whatever you need to satisfy needs, and setting up resource chains to satisfy more complicated needs. I think I like Tropico better as a city builder-adjacent game. I don't think Anno 1800 is bad though, it's just not for me.
