Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic
Manage all aspects of your own republic with planned economy, including mining resources, manufacturing goods, construction, investments, and citizens too.
Create your own industrial complexes with loading and unloading stations, storage, warehouses, and factories.
Build the infrastructure and manage its traffic, including roads, railways, sidewalks, conveyors, wiring, and pipelines. Wisely place and connect factories, houses and warehouses, and make the most efficient connections.
Plan and build the living areas with everything your citizens may need to live their happy life, such as playgrounds, cinema s, taverns, and shops.
Send your citizens to the mine to get coal, iron and other natural resources; or send them to the fields to pick up the crops; or take them to factories to produce manufactured goods.
Sell and purchase resources and goods from western countries or other soviet countries to get dollars or rubles and buy the products or resources you need ... or invest in new infrastructure or buildings.
Enjoy authentic soviet buildings and vehicles, as well as realistic landscapes of the 60's to the 90's.
Play the way you want! You can focus on getting natural resources or products and trade them for money; or you can build a self-sufficient republic; or you can just use the easy sandbox mode with unlimited money/resources and just enjoy building something live.
Economic simulation. Prices of resources on the global market are changing over time as you play -one day you can sell or purchase steel for a $100 per ton, but in a few months the cost can rise to $200 or decrease to $50. The price of everything is connected to the cost of work and resources.
Increasing difficulty.As prices change, the demands of the citizens also change, and you will need more resources to keep them happy and force them to work. - Hry
“Welcome to this mini let’s play”
Me: *Sees 199 episodes and wonders how big a “normal sized” let’s play is*
Not to mention that each episode of this mini let's play is an hour long =D
😅🤣🤣
I thought this guy played Plant-zoo,
Now he is a soviet!?
me looking now and seeing 233 episodes
Cities Skylines: Building needs road!
Soviet Republic: Road need building
Transport Fever and Workers & Resources Soviet Republic same game.
Bacause in soviet Russia u Need the comment
Cities Skyline: Capitalsit thing (*REALLY*)
Soviet Republic: build communist 5 year plan
Yes
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. I'm so glad that I got this game so much before I got city skylines and missed the actual real game play i have actually wanted i love this game so much!🚩
As Someone living in former East-block GDR i loove how it looks just like the cities in my region.
I mean, even in western cities we have plenty of areas that look pretty similar. And honestly it's not that bad to live in.

@Brooks Archer Begone, capitalist robots
@@rhel373 unless they turn(get turned) into ghettos.
But yeah, if you visit Ukraine, Belarus, Russia or Kazakhstan you will see that they're orders of magnitude better then modern "scam" level property build because government regulations were relaxed after USSR fell. It's the same way how Russia "fixed" road quality - they've doubled the size and depth of potholes that are _acceptable_ compared to old soviet standards:D
@@TheArklyte And people think they are better off after USSR...
This channel: "welcome to this mini lets play"
Me: *sees 43 episodes*
Haha it was only supposed to be 10 episodes. I didn't know I was gonna fall in love with the game!!
@@PartyElite well youtube algorithm brought me here, just a little bit ago, so might as well watch it for the longhaul...i'll see you in episode 43 :D
1 hour episodes
I actually just saw this in recommended and I got episode 43. He opened episode 43 "Welcome to this mini-lets' play...".
Immediately subscribed because a mini-lets play is at least 50 episodes long and has 1 hr plus videos. I mean whats a normal lets play then, what about a mega LP?
Happy for a nice new CZcams series to binge on.

>Soviet Republic
>First sentence is about making money
Tovarisch, you have of failed glorious revolution. Report to comrade KBG at rise of sun
I'm just trying to make money to give equally to all the people, don't worry tovarisch!
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.
You see comrade, he gather money for good of people!
“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!
What are you talking about you can build roads without money in this game. Report to KGB for sedition of Soviet Workers & Resources videogame.
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
@@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).
HE IS RIGHT
I agree, I am interested to see how a city on the Western border will run compared to the Eastern border. Good observation! 👍
In Soviet Republic, Terrain and Grid align you!
🤣
🤣🤣😂
Please shut
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).
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.
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 are you talking about embargo for everything including grain during 1932-33's famine in Europe? The USA shot their leg that time losing 5 million people (some researchers say that up to 7 million) by defarming.
@@SteelyGlow Soviet Russia was so awesome! Even the bread was amazing, so much so people used to queue around the block for it.
@@BeforeTheNoose it was sabotage of Yeltsin's clique czcams.com/video/tO7HXrhHOS8/video.html
But, I agree that soviet bread was better than bread now
Wow, this thread is so hilarious...
"mini let's play" over a year of uploads and 111 episodes xD
Yeah lol
Extremely good sign of an awesome game, I'd say.
@@Crimethoughtfull I'd think that's a bit of an understatement lol
How does a true comrade talk to the girl of his dreams?
I have a five year plan with you.
@Maksim V. True. :D :D
How about of a pickup line like, "Comrade Trump is a personal friend. Play gawlf with him plenty. Yeah.
@@leadgenmagic4554 LOL
What a wonderful video we have created, comrade.
half the vehicles in this game were around in my city when i grew up. the tram especially, route 1. well done tovarish dev
Wow, fr? I thought they just made up stuff based on random vehicles they found.
@@pikoloksh6195 the devs are from former communists czechoslovakia (hence why half the vic are czechoslovak)
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!
the power plant is like a Massive alarm clock for the city, it tells them when to sleep and when to wake up
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
Wipes out trees to put down Coal Power Plant - double the damage to Mother Earth!
Edit: Oh! I commented too early. You spoke like a true comrade: For progress!
You need to be reeducated to root out antirevolutionary tendencies.
This man out here claiming "Mini" let's play. I love the game and I think you're the longest Playlist around which I'm so excited to just binge. I've watched part and finally come back to rewatch this great series.
Damn, this game looks really complex, I'm loving it. Keep the videos coming.
It reminds me of isorrowproductions
_Extremely_ in-depth and complex city-building and resource management simulator with a Soviet theme? Instant buy.
Mini lets play of 121 episodes, nice, time to binge Watch!
The ingame tutorial made me feel pretty happy getting all the “Lenin would be proud” and “Great job comrade!”
Please more! This is the best series of this game I have found yet. Very knowledgeable and I am learning way more then I have from anyone else's series.
Thanks. Glad to hear it! Definitely more to come - I enjoy the game too much not to keep playing!
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.
Hey thanks for making this! The game lacks in the tutorial area and I've been struggling to figure everything out. With your video I literally followed along in my game and duplicated what you built and it taught me what is where in the menus and how stuff works together. I also appreciate that you aren't loud and obnoxious like so many who make these videos! I actually enjoyed listening to you talk things through. Many many thanks! Now I go on to Episode 2...
Lennon Leikam exactly the same for me!
I always seem to set up my start of the Soviet Republic exactly where you did
I can believe it! It’s 2022 and there’s 231 videos of workers & resources Soviet republic and it was supposed to be a mini let’s play and I’m loving it your videos helped me out for the past few years keep up the good work!❤️
Also, you say "you can live here" and i look from my window and be like "dude, i actually live here". Well duh its always a "block". Trust me they look even more grey after 50 years. I MEANT GREAT!
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.
@@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.
😆😆😆😆😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Saw your comment: I died!
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".
The updates they have been doing show an amazing direction and that they actually listen to the people streaming it. Can't wait to for the global events to develop
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? I'm so in! Let's see what this game's really got under the hood!
Long live the victory of the dictatorship of the proletariat!
Didn't know the game got early access already. Instantly bought it. Can't wait for more of this!
Fantastic lets play, thanks for the video, will be watching the rest of the series!
Starting the series and hearing "welcome to this brand new mini Let's Play..." Is hilarious when I can see there's another 150+ episodes 😂😂😂
I'm 15 mins into your video and your covering so much in great detail, your doing a great job and thank you as it's really helping me out with my game and helping me to understand it better. Keep up the good work.
Awesome to see more on this. I probably won't get to play this for awhile, but I find it to be a really fascinating premise. Hope this helps!
5 minutes into the video and i am already impressed, you seem to know what to do right from the beginning which makes it nice to watch.
20:30 LMAO Glorious comrade! That was glorious!
Never heard of this game. Thanks for showcasing
Nice video. I've watched two other youtbers play this and they made things up as they went. It's nice to see a man with a plan.
Glad to hear it!
A 'five year plan', you could say, ho ho.
I just randomly found you and this game and i love you and this game so i cant wait to watch all of these episodes.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I saw this game on Steam when I was looking for something new to play that would challenge me and ended up buying it. I was a little disappointed (but understand that this is a pre-release) that it didn't have a tutorial to introduce me to the game. So, your videos have been invaluable in helping me learn the game and enjoy it. Thank you for taking the time to make these. Your work is greatly appreciated. :)
Love playing this game too. Thanks for making these play-throughs. Keep up the good work.
I am so happy people love this game as much as I do! Please play more!
"Mini let's play" - PE, 2019
I can report from 2020 with a 130 episodes on this let's play, that was a lie
Sounds like one of the main menu themes from red alert 3
wasn't one of the ra3 themes a national USSR anthem?
Your videos explained everything I needed to get started with this great game, until an in game tutorial is released your material was a great substitute, thank you!
Me: 170+ episodes?!
PartyElite: Welcome to our mini let's play
thank you for this series, just bought the game yesterday and even with the tutorials it was still confusing as hell lol, they tell you what and where to place buildings but they dont tell you WHY you need them so this really explained alot for me
Very nice gameplay. Informative, entertaining and with some very efficient buildup. Awesome!
Great video and explanation as well. Subbed and going to watch these series! I saw you are still continuing it as well!
This game is great and still has a lot of potential for future greatness. Thanks for showcasing it!
Great Video, Just got the game today and was kinda stuck. Thanks to you I can now play, keep the tutorials coming :)
Just scored this, it's great and your help is excellent.
Comrade, nice save with the "coal" power plant, report to Chernobyl "Coal" plant in 1986, near the afternoon test with the incompetent head of facility.
@@ivanstrogonov415 that is normal human evolution caused by great communism. Is this a problem? *stares intently*
Edit: Grammar
@@ivanstrogonov415 good........ *walks away slowly while still staring*
Mutates eyes in back of head whilst walking
@@SilusValeriusVT See? Communism is allowing people to be more aware of danger. And it's on Lenin too.
This is awesome. Thanks for the vid comrad
I’ve been watching you play this from EP 19 and decided I like it... now I’m watching from the start so I can learn how things work properly 😅
What I love about the video is...
This video had good information and he is English and like he said there is not any walkthroughs on this and I want to make a RR :3
“Mini lets play”. 76, hour long episodes.

My first time watching your channel. I love watching resources games. I enjoy your narration as well.
Zdravstvujte tovarischi !!!
Really good presentation of the game mate. Good watch.
Coal Pow Pow PowerPlant (with the music from the PowerWheels toy ads)
You are wonderful sensei. I have such difficulty with this game. Thank you for educating me
That was an actually good pronunciation of the intro. Good job.
This channel:- welcome to this mini ltes play
Me:- sees 220 episodes
Party! Already watched episode 1, I know nothing about the game but I can say this probably will be my favorite series after planetzoo (im coming from your planetzoo series lol) It’s just the way you play always amaze me! Good jooob x
I love that u said "Lets begin a mini let's play" hehehehe
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).
What, no nukes to level mountains Soviet style! xD
@@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!
Man I wish more game devs made country builders like this. The idea of building a island nation or some small country from the ground up is so cool.
More useful than the tutorial and much more entertaining. Thanks comrade :^)
" I wish it was a 'bit more... 'relaxed' about some of that stuff!"
Yeah... that famous Eastern Block 'relaxed' state of mind...
Comrade, you better tighten up a 'bit! Remember the old Secret Police saying: 'We came for you, not against you!'
I work at a grain storage facility (grain elevator) IRL, it's super neat to have a game finally address them as something more than just a warehouse or something
Очень понравилась игра. Спасибо, товарищ)
Just picked this game up, thanks for the video, now I know how to keep the pub lights on and comrades happy in their vodka:)
Thank goodness for your walkthrough, I was having some issues in this game that the tutorial doesn't teach, for instance the neighboring area's. I am now starting over right where you did.
So as this is the only series I am not currently watching I figured I would start... Love that your intro says ‘mini’ lets play! Episode 118 just released!! 😂😂😂
Hahaha yeah I didn't realize how much I'd love the game
I just started it also! Lol. Figured why not while planet zoo is on hold.
ah yes the ol' 55-44 split
Perfect username for this game...
I look forward to seeing a fully developed megalopolis.
Coming from the future now ”Welcome to a new mini let's play!”
Mini 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t wait to see more!
Thanks for your content, I purchased the game yesterday and Im starting to learn, its actually quite relaxing. Need something for when I take a break from CK3, which is not relaxing.
"Welcome a new mini let's play."
At the time of view this series has surpassed 150 episodes, nearly all of them about an hour long. That is roughly 6.25 days of non-stop content.
I was 0.3 seconds from clicking away because I assumed it was a russian language video. Saved yourself just in time bro
goodfilmful same lol
here from the 2020 civ builder video! this seems really interesting, tho wish it had an official playlist.
You are grand sensei thank you for making this tutorial
Since this has been going on for a while imma start watching it aswell
"mini let's play" he said XD
I love his complete refusal to use curves to end a road, and instead it instantly stops. Imagine how much people would just drive off the ends...
My republic= drive off the road? Comrade your only way of transportation are trains, ambulance, state determined bus, and your own legs! There is no way you could drive off the road!
RAF-2203 Latvija was also used as an ambulance. This game reminds me of my childhood :)
"The buildings look... like... you know...eh...like people can leave there" is the best description of Brutalist/Constructivist architecture I have heard in a long time
You mean that ugliness Chruszhev created in USSR in 1960ties as 'solution to free housing to all challenge' now has fancy name , Brutalist/Constructivist architecture ?
Well. That is fun , actually.
@@honkerbonker6700 The Brutalist style is closely related to the Constructivism. Le Corbusier is one of the most famous Brutalists
This video wants me to buy game, of course the state would like that, so maybe I will at some point, good work comrade PartyElite
This seems interesting. Different than the usualy it feels like.
What a fantasticly intricate gane!
I have just received this game as one from my family, because it was on my Steam Wishlist.
I tried to play the Tutorial, but found it a bit confusing and disappointing.
Then I decided I had better watch some video clips on my TV CZcams channel. Many I watched were too fast for me to follow, then I found yours.
Your series has inspired me to give it another go. So Thanks for your style of presentation.
This music is spot on
excellent brother
I used the large bay for my main port and had a airport nearby
This game looks super complicated but also super cool :D
Good job Comrade
Good job comrade PartyElite
