Very nice video per usual
@@jerryjohnson5545 thank you!
That new shopping and res zone at the end of the episode wrecks the rail plans pretty good 🤣 I would have laid down the rail first, then built the pedestrian overpasses to go over both the boulevard AND the rail lines, then built the new city expansion on the other side of that. it is easier to plan around the rail than to try and shoehorn it in after everything else has been built.
@42:57 If you flip the meat locker and the small warehouse, you can fit them both together with both having a shared road entrance and utilize space better. The way you are currently laying them out, the road has to wrap around the warehouse for the meat deliveries to reach the meat locker. the way you laid out the roads to feed this, uses a lot of space that could be for other things. Also, don't forget that at some point, those roads will be one way, so you will need to be able to access them from both directions.
@37:42 The shopping center has a path entrance on its north side facing towards the road there, you could probably run a path from that entrance parallel to the boulevard under the path-overpass, going to the right to give good access to buildings on the far right side that hug the boulevard.
You are definitely not maxing out your shopping center. You do not need to build another shopping center. At least not yet. I do not know for sure what is causing the starving issue, but it isn't that the shopping center is full. You may need to drop a save, find a person who is starving and fallow them for a week or something to see why. Maybe also open the shopping center window to see if there is some moment where the number of workers just randomly plummets or something, but it looks like you regularly have 30-40 open spots for shoppers, so I doubt that is the problem. Maybe there is a building whos footbaths are just a few meters too long to reach the store? If so, then upgrading a footpath would fix the problem. I think a residential building can't reach the shopping center. Looking at the list of reasons people are unhappy it is , starving, no meat, no clothes and no electronics. That suggests they can't reach the shopping center.
Built a new one anyways. Everyone can reach the bus stop so they should reach the shopping center. Regardless, we have two now (no need for another for awhile) and it seems to be removing the issue
@Braave_ you should still go back to an old save, and find your starving people and just follow them for a week, or even a month of game time, and see why they are not going. Shopping.
I think it is good to start planning the rail lines now, while everything else is still using a small footprint. Rail is something you want to build around, rather than try to fit in retroactively. Even if you are not going to start building the rail for a while. If you know where the tracks are, you can plan bridging roads over it, and or where to put factories etc. Also, don't run rail around the rail construction office, build the rail construction office on it's own spur line.
I’ll look to plan out the rail system and not build it until I have more money, cause you can see that I completely forgot about the previous plans and our stuff where the rails where supposed to go!
@@Braave_ just remember, the rail construction office goes on a spur line, not the main line.
Thanks for making this content, W&R is my jam. A little suggestion, if I may: consider adding 'realistic mode' to the video/playlist titles and/or tags. I was specifically looking for realistic mode players and I'd have like your channel to come up in the search. Luckily my obsessive consumption of W&R content had your channel pop up in my feed haha.
I have it in the playlist, but not the title. I’ll add it in the next couple of videos! Thank you for the suggestion. Good to have you watching!
yes. this is something i wanna see being played. cant wait for more of these. ive been looking for creators that will play this in a longer format. glad this got recommended.
I am glad that KZread recommended me! Glad to have you!!!
@@Braave_ 😊😊
All excavators sitting idle?
Union strike
Build a fucking road, that speeds things up
Roads are overrated...
Well you play and you learn! I have been watching you play more than i have been playing the game myself. Looking forward to start on S2!
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the gameplay!
Long time i played this game
It’s a good game! Been awhile since I have played. I hope this series is liked by everyone. Have you liked the first episode so far?
it going to be great play for you @@Braave_
Agreed!
Salute Braave, it's tempting to build everything but don't build something that require heavy costs (workshop) you still have time default cars are repaired at 50%, for buildings it's 10-15 years to repairs, it's not the time now, invest in construction industry at least in bricks & concrete, this will decrease expansion costs - prefabs are locked behind research and they unlock better quality living houses:) it's good to have them. I suggest also investing in easy money making industry like brewery, food and maybe meat. It's always good at beginning to invest into farm cause there working only machines and you have your own crops for food, booze, meat and fabric industry. Then you can expand into expensive heavy industry & your desired trains :) cheers
I make an investment into farms. Unfortunately, we are going to need to take our first loan. Hopefully we can quickly pay it off!
If you really need more roubles you could import steel with dollars and export in roubles. It’s kind of a scam way around but if your close to bankruptcy it’s a idea
I like your style! Both you and Black_Akkarin are on the same page. I might just need to bite the bullet and bring in a NATO road
off, that is a money loser. You can't really bring in enough steal to make that worth it. Plus then you will have spent ALL your petro-dollars. Better to take out a loan. Plus that road will be super, super, super long. It would take ages to move steal from NATO to Warsaw Pact borders.
Very nice video. Don’t forget about the heat. Four extra large buildings will definitely overload the system.
Thank you jerry! I was curious what the limit on heat. Can the small heating plant support the four buildings I just need another heating exchange? Or do I need another heating plant?
I think I see the problem at 1:09:40! It says Load clothes 0% maybe increase the number to more then 0%? Just a noob here but could be the issue. Maybe you figured it out by now though. PS. It could be that it says take storage to 0% though?
0% means they should keep loading it until the warehouse is completely empty. So I’m not sure what’s going on lol. I appreciate the comment! Hope you are enjoying the series!
@@Braave_ Ok I figured, just thought that could maybe be the issue, seems like transport can be messed up, maybe its easier to have it do manual runs so you can tell him directly what you want. Yeah its good to see what problems can come up, this game seems very punishing to mistakes.
I've also restarted like 3 times already, because I failed to connect sewage or water the right way every time🥲
Small mistakes or missed mistakes are detrimental for sure! Other games don’t have that type of actions cause consequences
Enjoyed your vid, you may want to bite the bullet and add the next bus stop so you can grow and not have to try and fight the walking distance so much, just a though.
I agree, as much as I don’t want to…I think it needs to happen
The (import export only) distribution office delivering grain to the fabric office and exporting clothes should not be delivering clothes to the shops and prison, use the office that delivers food, meat and alcohol for that, also set the first office to only export clothes if the warehouse is over 20% full that way there will always be clothes available for the shops distribution office to deliver. Trains do not pass through rail construction offices, rail construction offices need a small warehouse, small open storage (boards steel) and a small gravel storage connected to them. 🙂
Logistics I tell ya! I remove the railway in the next episode (sure you seen that by now) and focus on getting it running later when we have more steady revenue
I'd not consider searching for oil cheating. Imagine this like someone told you about oil fountain being found
I can see that. I wanted to experience it without using the oil and searching the map. It makes it more fun trying to balance things until the research is in. Cause once we can find oil we can start exporting it and gain more revenue!
To save on fuel: In DISTRIBUTION OFFICES set the unload storage percent at shops, pubs and gas stations etc. to 50% rather than 100% that way when the stored amount reaches 50% it will trigger a full truck delivery, otherwise when it is set to 100% deliveries will be one ton or less, the same applies to other storages as well, so calculate the percentage to be low enough to trigger a full load for the trucks you are using on that route, the same will apply when you get to rail as well. Cheers 🙂
I can't believe I never though of that, so simple yet complex! Thank you so much I will take a look into that and get them switched over
Great video. I think this game acts funky with things set to anything set to less than 10%.
@@jerryjohnson5545 agreed. I know just have tons of clothes laying around
Then next town should be Bratislava. Let's start a theme with b.
Keep the B theme is a good idea. I like Bratislava! When we get a new town. I think we might go with that!
I don't see any comments about water pumping, but you pump the water up to tower, then it goes down due to gravity - no need to pump it again down to substation
Wait really?! I guess that makes sense, but also is nice adding a bigger pump to allow for more connections in the future…guess I could use a water switch instead too
@@Braave_ I saw it in bballjo video - he explained it in one of the episodes
@@SeregaKRYL he’s a great KZreadr! I’d love to connect with him someday. He definitely has a lot more experience than myself
@@SeregaKRYL could be fun to do a season together on the same map and compare our progress!
@@Braave_ I like that in your videos you're building a lot of roundabouts :)
The prison needs clothes so that is another thing you can set to deliver clothes from the clothes factory rather than import.
Smart! I’ll get that switched over
Not a hundred % sure why the truck didn't pick up any clothes. It might be that you set it to 0%? I think they don't like that percentage? try changing the % to be just higher than the amount that a truck can carry, so the % amount to pick up would be just about 7 tones. The warehouse is set to a capacity of 40 tons of clothes. So 20% of that would be 8 tons. So set the truck to pickup clothes at 20% and see if that fixes the issue. Also, I don't think you need to set the truck to deliver the same % as the warehouse in the city is set to hold because it can only fill that warehouse up to it's max allowed. Any clothes on the truck that exceeds that amount would stay on the truck and get delivered to the border.
Makes sense, I’ll look at making that happen! I’ll need to start writing these comments down so when I sit down to record I have them present!
You can use prisonous as labor force. You need a prison bus to transport prisoners to and from a designated workplace. You can also adjust how long people's sentences are for each level of crime. It is recommended to lower the sentence lengths from their default. You can see how the length of sentence affects things like criminality and loyalty etc.
FREE LONG LABOR! (Minor repercussions) lol
@Braave_ I forget if it is at the courthouse or the prison, but you can make sentences longer or shorter for each level of crime, and when you do that, you can see the effect it has on the convicts criminality and loyalty. The default sentence lengths are longer than is needed to reduce people's criminality to zero. And shorter sentences are better for retaining loyalty.
I don't think you should have the rail construction office on the main line like you have. I don't think regular trains can go through it. It should be on it's own spur.
I was always curious about that. I’ll make the adjustments! Smart of me to wait until after the episode was published and got feedback before I started to build it!
@Braave_ you may want to consider attaching a warehouse to the rail construction office too, it uses a lot of construction materials. Rail can be really expensive, so watch your budget before you start building it. Plan things out for sure.
When grow citizen die children can go to orphanage if not probably disappears. Yes you can use prison work force with dedicated prison bus, they can only work in factories.
I see, so without an orphanage they just go away/pass with the parents. Makes sense!
Trains can get pretty long. You should not make any junctions within 200 meters of your border post because then trains that are importing/exporting at that border crossing can block the junction.
I think I heard about that somewhere else. I’ll make the change. Thank you!
@@Braave_ I've seen some people reserve up to 300 meters of length, but I doubt you'll make trains that long.
If you run the train through the city just under that boulevard between the double roundabouts, that would be a good location for a passenger train stop.
I don’t fully picture what you are saying. I’ll be sending a discord invite link out today so maybe you can send me a screenshot in the discord!
@Braave_ if you orient the screen so the border post is at the top of the screen, you have a round about on the left and right hand side with a double road connecting them along the bottom (of the town). The college and those new apartment buildings would be near the right hand roundabout towards the bottom Just bellow that double road, where you talked about running the train line through and across the town is where I am thinking would be a good place for a train passanger stop After you place the train stop, you run a side track underneath that, so through traffic can go on by. Also, when planning out your rail network, give yourself room to bridge the roads over the rail. Level crossings (over heavy traffic routes) will cause problems in the future.
@19:51 He wasn't getting the clothes because you only had a quarter ton stored in the warehouse. You want at least 6 tones before he goes to pick it up, otherwise your risk spending more on gas transporting the clothes then you do from selling them.
That makes sense, just wish he would have taken clothes if he was going to customs anyways to get crops
@@Braave_ yep, empty trucks cost 💰
I think train can't go through the rail construction office, so you need to relocate that near the warehouse, at the same time plan to construct the other warehouse for rail (and construction office at this point) so you have all the building materials in one location. Will be a traffic nightmare but in chaos there is some organisation
Trains scare me now more than ever reading all these comments haha!
You should create a side rail for the board pickup station. That way your main rail doesn't get blocked by a train picking up boards.
That would be the smart idea and beneficial to not run down my republic lol
@Braave_ I actually think it would be beneficial to move the entire wood cutting industry to a different location in the future. So maybe don't spend to much time trying to figure out how to pick up boards from that spot just yet.
Finally got to watch some more episodes of this series and i love it! The way you play and the way you are planning it all out..... so great to watch! Still some episodes left of this season but already looking forward to S2.
I am really happy to hear you are enjoying the series and can’t wait for you to start season 2! Hope to hear from you more again!
Hi I really like the longer episode
Same, I like recording the longer episodes for everyone!
Some of the southern buildings you built this episode have no way to get water
I address this in episode 8. Mistakes were made though by not having water ready!
i have same problem but it was the range of constraction Depots
Mistakes are costly in W&R!
@@Braave_ yes it is a small problem but lerning time un game
Building a railway will just make spiral on loans now. What i would do is build the fabric factories and have the factories to run on full productive meaning about 800 workers at least (2 fab and 1 cloth). Then make sure the rest of the town to run good with enough people and then you can start to think about railways and expanding. Make sure you are making money everymonth before railways. Maybe like 1500- 2000 citizens alltogether. Buy citizens from nato and let your school and unies train them. Buy in small drops so schools and unies can handel them slowly. Living quality in buildings is a soft cap for happiness so you building low quality housing will reduce the happiness. So build only those medium 110 houses wich have 86% living quality when building new houses in order to raise happiness.
I really like the clothing industry idea, cause I was concerned about my money. I’ll do that before rail (I think). Also, thank you!! I was curious what qualify of flat was calculating into!
Hi thanks for i nice serie 🎉
Glad to hear you are enjoying the series! I hope to hear from you more!!
Longer episodes are much better.
I agree!!
How the money flow? Remember you have 600k $$$, connect do NATO border and buy stell :) I know it's far away... :D Man I can't watch that large custom house with one by one car going in (15:50)... this is nonsense. In steam workshop there's fix for custom house, it will be using all 4 check-in locations for vehicles. 19:42 there's checkbox for line spacing if you don't use end station, that's answer for your question why buses drives one after another :) 23:13 see "missing prison", police and justice you don't have resources now to deal with it. To early my friend. Now they work for nothing, sentenced guys are back in society. TIP for future: if you don't reduce the sentence people will be in prison for long time, you will lose large number of citizens, they loose loyalty and increase crime rate and after leaving prison they increase crime rate in city. Lower sentences. What do you want export with train? It's heavy cost to start railroad. Boards and 5t of clothes isn't enough :) Slow and steady increase road export to have positive income. Then railroad.
Potentially might install that mod! We shall see. Also, it is SOOOOO far to the NATO border lol. I might just need to bite the bullet and do it
You want the End Station to be the last place the buses stop before they restart the line. That is why close to the first stop is a good location for them.
Close to central town platform works in small towns like here :) In my playthrough had 1 big end station for 7 vehicles relatively close to city center platform, worked till 4 lines and 15 buses. When number of buses increased to 50 on 4 lines it caused so huge traffic jams by the moving buses - everything stopped cause people stuck in bus station. I decided to build end stations after LAST stop on lines. This remove all unnecessary traffic from city center and main in-roads. Central bus station must work flawlessly. My first city now have 8500 citizens, now it's tram time :)
@Black_Akkarin yes. Either before 1st stop, or after last stop is best. In this case, the town is never growing in that direction. So it will be good for a while. If the town grows significantly, than he will need to upgrade to the larger end station anyway.
Mic is sounding real good by the way!
That is great to hear! How does it sound in episode 8? Made a slightly tweak!
@@Braave_ really good. The hum is gone.
The Bus End Line has its in and out reversed so the busses will have to cross over each other. I wonder if it could be mirrored?
I believe I fixed the issue in episode 8, but let me know!
@@Braave_ I'll keep my eye out.
@Braave_ ok, so, in episode 9, @13:23, watch the bus enter, and then leave the bus end station, and you will see what I am talking about. Since it is already down, and this is a small end station, I don't think it is worth tearing down and rebuilding it. But something to keep in mind going forward. There are several buildings with 1 way in/one way out like this. There is a gas station and one of the bus stops for sure. You will want to keep the direction of traffic in mind when placing those buildings.
As usual good video. I definitely prefer the longer videos. Good job
I prefer recording longer videos! So that's good! Thank you!
I thought the coal storage was not pushing coal into the heating plant because the "Store this item" checkbox is ticked. (1:02:24)
I was getting really worried! Until it ran out and started pulling in coal
Great game so far, I'm just about to start a game myself.
Let me know how your republic comes along!
Let me know how your republic comes along!
Just got caught up on the series! excellent so far! I think your issue with food is that you have a small store, it's only meant to service 500 people I believe, you're at 900 so it cant keep up. So far thats all I can see. Keep the series going
I always wondered what the servicing amount was for the small shopping center. Is there a wiki sheet that shows that information?
@@Braave_ I’m not sure, I think it was one Uthris or one if the other channels that mentioned it. It just got stuck in my head it was for 500 people. Maybe it’s PartyElite? I did find this which says small shopping center can only have 150-180 visitors
@@Halfapint01 hmmm still should be able to support my population since not everyone goes at the same time
i started watching you coz i just got this game and didnt rly know how to play it, but i stayed coz you are good youtuber. keep it going man
