Awesome! Thank you! I'll add this once I get back to my computer.

I spent hours last night starting up a new game and playing side-by-side while I watched and listened to this tutorial (and also paused a lot). This is a really nice guide and I would enjoy seeing more guides like this that are not livestream videos but made-for-KZread (or whatever) for-purpose videos. I think topics like getting started, what to build first, how to start with trains, etc are all great and not really well covered topics for this game. Especially because the new update just released and now we have to worry about criminals preying on our hardworking populations.

Your start is much more tenable than other tutorials I have seen. Most focus on getting a coal power plant running and import everything else directly in stores instead of importing from the border. I really like being able to import materials and provide workers myself, thus being able to eliminate one import after the other

Even as a passionate strategic-gamer, W&R makes it hard for me to start the game. Thanx for your tutorial, I understand now the basic (even some deaper) mechanichs of the game. Looks like fun!

Fantastic tutorial. Its brilliant that you really explain everything clearly with all the little details so we can learn as much possible.

Very good video, thanks bballjo. I've now used this layout as a start for my first hard play though AND using construction offices to build my own construction. I've always played a earn money to "pay for everything to get built" style and always wanted to have a go at physically building my own infrastructure from the get-go for construction . I've watched the majority of your WRSV tutorials, it was one of them that prompted me to get the game to start with a few months ago. Thanks again :)

Hey Bbaljo. I'm sure this will be very useful and entertaining! I've bought W&R:SR before there was even a basic tutorial. The set of tutorials it has now have at least got me intrigued in this game that is a rough diamond in it's current state. Lots of very interesting stuff going on, just covered in a bit of a clunky UI. Interesting to see where this is going!

Hey Bballjo, I love this video, love the attention to detail you use in explaining everything. Are you going to continue with a noob series? Lots of us can really use your help understanding production lines, how buildings work etc. Please say you will do more.

Hope I’m not doing too many comments, i think your videos are great, just want to separate topics. One thing I do now on city design is use double roads through town where you have single roads. I put enough space between to so I can run powerlines, heating lines, etc there. Keeps things cleaner. Also makes upgrading roads more pain free.

Thanks for the video. This was ridiculously helpful with understanding just what I need to .. well. everything. I spent pretty much a whole day trying to piece together what I'm supposed to do from playing through the in game tutorials, watching videos and all that. And then tried starting a new game and just got immediately stuck with trying to remember what I need and why. Watching this, made that a lot easier. One thing I had a lot of trouble with was adding water into that. I think it was your explanation of that video that helped with that too. The city didn't do well in the winter, everyone froze to death but at least I'm pretty confident that I will know how to start another one. Now to scour the channel looking for follow ups to this :)

I think the ratio for food and clothes requirements changed on the last update. I set mine up 90 % food and 10 % clothes. Told it to unload 89 % it always runs out of food 1st. But that ratio over time can save a tonne of fuel. Also great video. Its nice to be reminded of the basics. I had to reatart many games because i build too much at the start Thanks

One tip i learned, if you do not want pollution to be a problem, and distances between residential areas and industrial.. the distance is a big agriculture field. I don't know very much how accurate but it helps a lot in building and saves a lot of fuel

I was a bit anxious about starting a "real game", after finishing the tutorials in this game. I went to YT to look for guides, as i usually do with new games, to help me calm down and get started.

This is useful. Guess I'll have one more try. My workers stops working after some time, concrete, asphalt, heat factories are barely occupied. Thank you.

Only buildings in town needing roads are hospital, fire station, city hall, and shopping if you don’t use the factory connect (and I’d argue you want it anyway for increased parking). Also needed for any buildings that don’t have walking paths like heating.

Awesome stream. It would also be very cool if you can show somewhat optimal construction industry setup. It's always a huge headache having to plan all the connections and fight stupid conveyor belts. I guess it's ok to use trucks in some places but question is how to do it without causing unnecessary bottlenecks.

I can try to get into detail on that, but honestly just start on 1 end of the industry, give yourself some space, and make up your mind on what mode of transportation. Personally I find that often starting at the source helps when you aren't sure about ratios, and starting at the end/pickup location helps for planning nicer looking setups...I can try to make that the next live tutorial, if this one gets adequate stats. Any suggestions for what industry?

I recommend now building a university right away at start. Perhaps a modded, smaller one.

My own personal opinion is that you should design each city for 1k-5k. That is the level that a shopping center, a cinema, a couple schools, etc can handle. It is REALLY hard to grow a city if you don’t preplan it. For a fully functioning city, you need around 700 workers to staff the city buildings 24/7. You then plan the additional size around the intended industries by multiplying worker counts by 3.

@bballjo

2 жыл бұрын

That's a very small city, for a small industry like food...I find 3-5k range more adequate. 10k can work, but Bigger than 12k is usually problematic... although the new line mechanics may make me give it another try

When you're decreasing workers in buildings that you don't need full of workers in the beginning is there any way to just decrease by one on the buildings that increase/decrease by 5 or 10 or even 20? It seems hard to run a small city if the minimum workers in some buildings is pretty high.

No. It's relatively easy to make money in this game, and therefore autobuilding and buying turns the game into an arcade, without challenge...one of the greatest parts of the game is the total freedom of creating a Network with your infrastructure to make sure everything works. Using the autobuy removes that aspect. A small part of this is that there are delivery fees, that grow with distance and time...but again, money is not really an issue in this game.
