WORKERS & RESOURCES SOVIET REPUBLIC | DESERT BIOME - EP07 Realistic Mode (City Builder Lets Play)

- We're diving back into Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic as it launches into 1.0, playing in Realistic Mode difficulty, looking to establish a glorious nation in the barren lands of the Desert Biome! In this let's play, we'll showcase gameplay of what, in my opinion, is one of the best modern city builders of all time. Playing in Realistic Mode really ramps up the difficulty and shows the depth of the game - the economic simulation, the complexity of construction, and the number of considerations to take in mind turn this city-building game into so much more - a nation-builder. With the Biomes DLC, we have access to three unique biomes, and our (first of many?) let's play will showcase Desert gameplay, providing tips and tricks on how to start in the desert, and copious examples showing what not to do too, I'm sure.

With this episode done, it looks like all of the basics I was pursuing are more or less in place at the moment, and we can start exploring more rapid expansion. A lot of talk about a 5 year plan this session, but I think next time we'll actually establish foundations for the long term!
I advise you not to allow your citizens to access religion or alcohol because they both give penalties and these desires quickly disappear.
@@hasansharabaty2355 What is the penalty to getting religion? There's a health penalty for alcohol, true enough. But I don't see a penalty to religion. They will go and pray for an hour or two once a week or so, if they are deluded I mean believers, but it keeps those who want to happy. Perhaps there's some hidden impact on loyalty, but it isn't obvious, and at this stage when you have "church" buildings already built for free and can't use secret police, radio propaganda etc. then you may as well let them. It won't have a negative effect, it will actually make people at this stage happier because it is one of their needs being met.
The idea of having tourism around said mosques is a great one. It will not only, as you said, provide a challenge but show that the nation cares about it's history, heritage and, most importantly, the individual rights of the workers. With that said NATO won't be able to say your nation opresses the people because of religion/culture or that it tries to "erase" national history, giving you a extra edge in propaganda and, perhaps, even diplomacy.
building upon the foundations of the past to a glorious socialist utopia!
*This statement has been endorsed by the Peoples Revolutionary Party of Arstotska*
On the other hand, the Western Powers are deeply, *deeply* Islamophobic, so... they will erase this cultural heritage in their propaganda material.
Glorious Peoples Republic of Ashkehkal lights the fires of brick production! Comrade PartyElite's 5 year plan completed in less than 2 years! The red bricks of the People's Commissariat will pave the way for the future expansion of exciting new exports of gravel. Soon the wealthy streets of Ashkehkal will be paved with gravel! Glory to the People! Glory to the Party! Glory... to Comrade PartyElite!
I was promised some oil industry in the first episode, so you kinda have to go with the series until we see some nice oil fields :)
One half of me "party is a person, he needs to record other things and rest and the like." The other half of me "MORE WORKERS AND RESOURCES PLZ" lol, lovin the series sir. Keep up the excellent work!
Asphalt paved streets illuminating the desert night, ready to be used by every citizen and their own little private car.
Go full petro-state, conquer the desert and make this the wealthiest state of them all!
I lived and worked in northen Quebec for more than a year, in the artic region. I remember one morning the mercury was around -40c, and I went for my walk. I wasn't even cold a bit, the air was so dry the cold wasn't going trough my winter clothes. The moisture of my body going through the GoreTex was freezing on top of the fiber.
It his one of my best memories from the north, it felt surreal.
Anyway, nice little serie you got there, you convinced me to buy the game. From the glory of the Republic!
I appreciate you taking the time to explain things like the bridges... Don't worry about rushing TOO much.
I'm glad to hear you're letting the people live their lives. If they want a drink after work or go to worship one day of the week, whats the harm. How could you build a workers paradise without some freedom?
I need more! It’s been 3 days!
As you said as an ex- New Delhi resident yourself, Temperatures are reaching the 50s, also it has become very humid over 2018-2019 (during the lockdowns) the houses over there are not built for humid conditions so it feels like hell on earth. I am living in Calcutta and the buildings are built accordingly for better arretion and thus architecture plays a vital role in maintaining temperature in housings,
Also, Bah Nyet comrade our glorious socialist republic's populace must be hardy and not be deterred by a few hours of chilling weather in sweltering hot desert for they trace their roots from the Soviet block no need for a heating system
the brick factory FINALLY running is a momentous joy to see. Ashkehkal has gone a long way and still much more to come!
I agree with the approach on both alcohol and faith, I definitely feel its the best compromise for roleplay and game mechanics, as well as making it that tad more challenging.
Thankyou, keep up the great work! 😊
I appreciate the showcasing, don't feel rushed when you go through that stuff.
Will you be planning rail links along with the roads? I'm only asking because I really like the trains in this game and am waiting to see them make their appearance.
Definitely enjoying the series; it's making me want to get into Workers & Resources, myself! A lot of other content creators create really cool playthroughs, but you're one of the only ones who plays from a roleplaying perspective. The min-max style can be fun to watch, but nothing beats the deep narrative, and it's what inspires me to try the game out.
The bus thing at the end:
Empty bus will skip "unload only" stops. Since the bus emptied at stop 2, it skipped stop 3 since there was no reason for it to go there and went straight for another workers.
Yes, you might consider to drop people off at the gravel processing plant first, since it only requires 15 workers, the excess could then go to the brick factory. You could also set to unload only, for example 50 %, of the workers at either stop.
@@AxialDispersion Indeed 90% is still way too much and if the bus isn't even 90% full, it'll just unload everyone.
Also if Party wants for some reason for buses to make actual circle even when empty (I had this happen few times where I want bus to take specific road due to traffic even when empty), he can just use waypoint to direct the bus to the correct road.
Dear Party, the first smokes were not produced by the brick factory. It was from the burning house. We remember, the whole Ashkehkal remembers.
😂
I used to live in Orange County California by the beach and 10c and below was legitimately cold to me because the house we lived in had an ancient heater and the temperature was always 70f during the day...
When I moved to the desert I learned what cold and hot was... -2C during the winter can happen and it is cold, but man, 46c is something else entirely. Don't forget about humidity. I'd rather be in 46c with 10% humidity than 20c with 80% humidity and the humidity by the ocean could get up to 70% or more on some days.
Toronto mentioned, greetings from a fellow Rontonian. Enjoying the series, I haven't seen a lets play in this biome before!
That's because it is in a DLC that only came out AFTER he started the series. He had an advance copy.
I've always found that aggregate UNLOADING stations aren't worth it as trucks can/do just pull up and dump their loads just as fast without the station. However, aggregate LOADING stations are absolutely worth it as they take forever to load materials without the station.
Like a ton of bricks!
I think you should invest in asphalt for the road from the border to town, and plan for asphalt all the way to the oil pumping station, otherwise exports will be very slow when you need the income the most.
I was surprised the crime rate went up that fast. Does alcoholism affect crime in this game?
I doubt there's any relative effect. Citizens report the building temperature is too low when it drops below 15 deg C in the base game. That appeared to be what happened - if the air temperature drops very low then the temperature in the new buildings will start to fall, but it did happen only briefly and on the date in the base game when you would normally see the first snow. But it seems to be brief and intermittent. Without a heating plant you might get a few issues with health, but it shouldn't been serious unless you were to get a few weeks in a row with the temperature in residences under 15. Citizens are much more likely to get sick as well as escaping. Let's see if it stays over 15 most of the time.
I love this series. If you ever shoudl do a play through i nthe snow area as well, My suggestion would be to make it themed around the Trans siberian railway :) Like lots of small villages/ towns along the railroad. But i love this already again cant wait for more!
as a person who lived in new cairo, a development in the middle of the desert, night even during summer get super cold, with winter getting to freezing temperatures easily. This is cause there's no water in the area that stores heat from the sun during the day (unlike ashkehkal) and no trees to stop/slow down winds which compound to become extremely cold.
When you upgrade existing roads, you could maybe use temporary dirtroad bypasses like this:
________
/ \
-------======-------
Where the = is the part to be upgaded and the rest is dirt roads.
Then your vehicles don't have to do giant rounds around the town, while upgrading.
Edit: That also enables you to do upgrade small stretches of road at a time.
I don't own the game, so I can't verify that it works but I think it's worth a try.
It does work exactly like that. But it is inefficient for the construction offices to do upgrades of small sections. Ideally you want to upgrade all the way from one junction to the next.
Please focus on oil and university next. Oil will make you a profit (bricks likely will not) but the investments needed will take a lot of money, so do it before you have to take a loan. The university now will let you move toward refining the oil and keep you ahead so you don't need to wait for things to research.
With regards to temp in the desert. A place is classified a desert not because of the temperature but a lack of precipitation. There are deserts in RL that are far enough north or south that they are effected by seasons.
I have an idea for the town with the mosque. You can turn the area around the mosque into a grand Plaza of sort like a little town Square
Please gravel your permanent roads from the get go. It costs next to nothing, takes only mechanisms, will make construction faster, and will save you the headache of upgrading later.
I'm loving this series keep it up
22:51 Perfecy place to put statue in future!
Please remember to make the new roads gravel ones from the beginning, it's dirt cheap and will save you a lot of time
The Brickline Express!
More! More! MORE! MORE!!! Gosh, I just love your content! And yes, please, MORE WRSP!
Explaining your thought processes is good, since im interested in buying the game sometime. Though do also try not to get caught on alinging things perfectly
33:47 On Mongolian Desserts you can meet 40 C in summer and - 50 C in winter.
Iran had alcohol for the longest time and was one of the the top wine producers of the middle-east prior to the revolution of 1979. Shiraz wine was famous. It just depends on who's in power at the time and their views on how their country is run. Don't forget beer did save the world. LOL My mom was born there and they had a restaurant and made their own wine in Tabriz, Iran prior to the revolution. We are Christian Armenian. Learn something new everyday. :)
I think, you should change the distribution office truck which delivers the gravel factory to a free line and tell it to wait until empty when in the factory so this truck/these trucks can run on full capacity and be more efficient by that.
Ну здравствуй, товарищ! good "russian" accent tho :P
About bus, first one is cheaper because more power = more fuil consumption. Also dont' foget about waste your buildings and houses produse
Nice progress dont worry about police till you hit 2.5-3k citizens you will need bus end stations and vehicle maintenance first you will like them build them as tight as you can .
I really like the idea of keeping the Mosques and turning them into cultural centers of sorts, Tovarich.
On a different note, I wonder why didn't you connect the new road to the Coal Truck Unloading station to the winding road that goes to the Coal Aggregate storage. You added almost a trip to Ashkegal's Town center before turning to the "Industrial" Quarter xD, that could be shortened. And even when the implementation of said truck loading station, you still could benefit from said shortcut.
You can mix above and below ground pipes with storage and above ground pumps
26 degrees!? I will need a coat!
Would love to see you populate the town with trees 🌴 it looks so barren as of now
Do the oil pipes really need to go 12m (40 ft) high to get over the road?
I ❤the desert map and I can’t wait for 1.0 update for Workers and Resources Soviet Republic PartyElite
wonderful brick
Suggestion for the bus line name: Ashkehkal Bricks and Gravel Works Line.
What are the plans for using the river as a cheap way to transport goods? A harbour, some ships?
I haven't played WR:SR in over two years so the system may have changed, if so please ignore this. Don't the pumpjacks have a small amount of storage (5 oil blobs) and can slowly load directly to a truck? If they still can, a good move may be to string a set of wires over (for future proofing add a switch soon after leaving town), set up a substation, set the build for the bridge and the 3 pump jacks, hold the build on the pipe and storage. When complete buy 3 tankers, set up 3 routes, one for each pumpjack (tanker set to wait for full load) to the border and back. There is a good chance that one or more of the high % pumpjack will fill its storage before one truck can do the return trip, in that case buy more trucks. Once you have a bit of money coming in do a scan next to the road to the border to see if there are any other pockets along the way, if they are any over 40-50% hit them with a pumpjack, substation, and truck route (will pay for its self in time). Yes it is not as efficient as pipes, switches, storage, loading and one route with multiple trucks, but it's a cheaper and your getting some money in. When it seems they have paid them selves off, assign the pipelines, storage and other stuff to be built. When completed, pull the trucks to the depot and improve the road to the loader (oil can go into storage while access is cut), then redeploy all the trucks to the new route between the loader and border, when they start waiting for loading after a round or two then redeploy the excess trucks to new pumpjacks or other locations.

Party elite drinking game rules :
You must drink every time..
1. Party says like and subscribe
2. Party makes a bad pun
3. Party tries to make perfect placement of roads buildings or other objects.
4. Party apologizes for something by he’s doing during the video.
Please drink responsibly, must be 21 and older to play if using alcohol 😂
i would love to see you facilitating religion. some prime example could be Libya during gadafis rule.
Random question
How does the Schedule look like with Manor lord and workers and resources
Is their any certain days for one and another or are u just taking it as it feels 😊🥰
Just curious
Keep up the amazing content
Can add any trees and other plants just to spice up downtown and spice up the desert bio? Citizens do need shade
The bus won't go to the gravel processing if there is no-one on board. With a 90% setting for the brickworks everyone gets off there. You need to set it lower on the bus line, or better set a limit on the brickworks workers much lower until you have a higher population. If the bus has more people on board than workplaces then the excess will always stay on the bus to the next stop even if you haven't set any percentages on the bus line. As low as 10 workers in the brickworks might be OK for now until you grow some more. Remember if there is many workers then they will not only produce more bricks but they will need more coal, and one dumper on the slow roads might not be enough. Plus if you don't take the bricks away often enough then the brickworks becomes full of bricks and then workers stop working. You bring them to work, pay them etc. but they sit around and do nothing. So build up the number of workers you allow there are your infrastructure improves to support them. And it should allow a few workers who are available to go to the gravel.
There is a mod that allows you to convert bitumen into coal.
What had you living in New Delhi?
I think it would be interesting to just not build alcohol selling points in any town where there is already a mosque, and then if you ever start making your own, only make it in Askenkal and distribute it to the towns where alcohol is allowed. Then export it to NATO
12 meters is way too high. 3 meters is approximately 10 feet, so that pipe is going up 40 feet in the air! 6 meters is more than plenty clearance for any vehicle that will be going underneath those pipes. Heck, 4 meters is probably enough clearance.
When i saw em make the busses take only low-educated people, i could only imagine the bus driver handing everyone a IQ test before they start driving. and if you have above a certain IQ they throw you off the bus. "you're've been too smarts, off my big metal beep beep machine!"
It occurred to me while watching, the riverbanks would be loaded with plants if there was an actual river flowing through a dessert. Also, given the bridge, I hope you don't plan to use ships on the river. And if it was me, I'd definitely straighten/make more uniform those oil pipes.
Allowing alcohol and freedom of religion makes sense on national security grounds, prohibiting either gives counter-revolutionaries dangerous freebies. As the republic will eventually become an oil producer, and as electronics require oil to be produced, the republic could become an exporter of electronics. I'd be in favour of pausing to allow for planning, giving oneself restrictions is fine but one should not overdo it.
Don’t forget about garbage cans as your city grows
You explain to match
The constant infodumping is part of the series' charm though.
This is one of if not the most complex city building game ever, it makes sense he explains a lot
Blocking a river in the desert is the worst idea ever for survival reaons if you want a reality feel. Redirecting it on the other hand would be more than fair.
Creating a lake for your port when money allows should be the best bet imo.
Great series, by the way.
-2°C is nothing. Even a prefab building should be isolated enough to keep it relatively warm inside.
Russians will not freeze as long as they have clothes and alcohol comrade.
meow
I think you should allow/tolerate religion, meaning you leave pre-established/cultural/historical Mosques untouched and to 'accomodate' the original Arab Population in their ancestral believes. However since you are also 'importing' workers from fellow Soviet Republics, I'd say that your Nation isnt homogenous.
This is why you should also allow the sale of alcohol but possibly limit it's production to a few key-locations.
Story wise it would make sense that after a larger conflict in the late 50s the rebellious 'natives'/ethnical population was driven from this swathe of land and you are tasked to rebuild this Nation from it's ruins, even better, stronger than before with the power of Communism and Central planning!
This new nation, this REBORN Nation, will blend the old ways of these people with the new ways of Communism, creating something new in the process, something better, something stronger! Just like how if you combine dirty and impure coal and brittle iron together, you create strong and durable steel, the backbone of industry, production and construction!
Go on comrade and make all of the Soviets proud! :D
I think you shouldn't be finnicky with how things look, Soviet republics arent really famous for looking neat and tidy, so it's ok if something looks off
Man how about If you plant palm trees for them everywhere and on the sides of the roads, they are poor people living in the desert. The view is ugly.❤❤
omg u babble 2 much talk and build 15 mins into ur stream u havnt done crap same with last episode
if u are looking for a beter stream for this game watch bbailjo he explains stuff to and he know whats hes doing and has turtorals partyelite has no clue whats hes doing
