Can you do a city skylines, transport fever, Soviet union workers and resources scheduled to keep it more varied, as the last transport fever epesiode was over 2 weeks ago.
In fact, it's kind of a Soviet/Russian thing too! In 1930s they demolished the entire centre of Moscow and rebuilt it with stroads. Now you can go to Triumfalnaya Square and see a crossing of two freaking interstates.
As a person who has lived half of their life in a late soviet town that was built in the middle of nowhere completely from scratch I was watching you butcher soviet city planning with a good laughter :D A couple of suggestions for more realistic approach, if you do decide to continue: 1. The main plaza is usually made in more round shape next to the city park and city office. A++ for Lenin, tho, he really was supposed to be intimidating. 2. The Eternal Obelisk is a place to mourn those who was killed during WW2, so it absolutely must have its own special place, you would never see something like this placed just nearby homes. 3. Three football fields next to each other??? Very american of you, lol. In soviet republic they would usually be built either as stand alones or next to schools, but never next to each other, because the idea was that every neighbourhood should have an access to one. 4. The hospitals were usually built slightly away from the main city area, cause they were also serving as a place of retreat and rest for ill workers. 5. Oh, and something about roads. First of all, the roads here all have street lights and pedestrian sidewalks (so it was like the first option in road menu that you just skipped). And second, if you placing homes like this, in couples (A+ for this), they would usually have road access in front of them but not between (so two roads, not three), cause that space in between them were usually reserved for small sport fields, children playgrounds etc. But overall, thank you for playing it! That was fun :DDD I've been a huge fan of your channel for a couple of years now and this video in particular has brought me more joy than I anticipated.
@@emilm2331 It depends. But in soviet times, usually - no, it was advised to build residential neighbourhoods away from major factories. At least that's what I've seen (and that's how my town was built). Factories could, of course, end up in the city limits surrounded by residentials, but that was usually caused by the rapid growth of the city, and rn the biggest cities in Russia, for example, are trying to get those factories rebuild into something else and integrate them into city's landscape.
@@Setchiie you absolutely right,i am from Cuba,we have micro districts too and they are exactly like you describe,just over there the most common block are the 5 floors with 30 apartments,usually in Europe most of the cities have bigger ones
Hey CPP! A viewer with 300+ hours into this game commenting here. As you said in the video, this game is really different from others in the genre mainly because of how deeply it simulates everything. My favorite feature that you didn't try here is the realistic mode. It's basically a mode where you only place the blueprints of the buildings and your vehicles and citizens build everything.

It's much more realistic but much harder as well. I can't wait for more, but in the meantime, I'll go back and watch Magnolia County grow :). Much love, great video as always!
Yeah. I didn't understand the beauty of it and found most of the stats and features unnecessary, until I started a realistic mode. It felt like a clone of Tropico. But in realistic mode it is craziest and hardest and most overwhelming among all of the city builders. And I played it all from the first SimCity and Caesar and stuff
"It felt like a clone of Tropico" i mean, even at the easiest mode it's still NOT even close a clone of tropico due to all the logistic challenges that are still there.
@@oleksandrshymanskyi1129 as a long term tropico fan , yeah its nowhere near tropico. Tropico focuses much more on staying in power and having a balanced budget over the sheer realism and management aspect of this game

21:11 "We've spent about a million rubles, and we spent most of those rubles rebuilding sidewalks." As a Muscovite, I can assure you that, judging by how often our roads and sidewalks are rebuilt, our government spends just as much in real life, too.
A few tips from my experience playing the game the past couple of weeks: - Pressing F1 brings up the grid view, pressing it again allows for grid snapping, and pressing it yet again disables the grid view/snapping. This functionality is also found in the bottom right corner of the screen, next to the topography toggle. - Holding control disables automatic road and path construction while placing building, this allows for more deliberate road and path connections. - Making an extra node in the road or path by terminating a road or path at points you select and continue drawing to the length desired allows for more deliberate crossing placement. - When calculating the number of workers needed for a building multiply by 3, this is because the game accounts for three 8-hour shifts per day for maximum productivity. - The clothing industry is the big money maker early on until you unlock more advanced industries. If you continue on to make a series, I would be excited to watch!
To add to that: Not everything needs a road because soviet design is not car-centric. Comrade citizen will wait 20-30 years for a personal car if even eligible. So the rule is: will a truck need to arrive there? Road. Not? No need for a road, just pathways. City services can use pathways,too. So residential, cinema, sports - can be built without road. Hell, shops and pubs can be without road IF you have a warehouse plugged to them in the back.
-You can also export crude oil early on if there is a good deposit nearby, since the pumps don't require workers! -Another thing i would add, when you set up an industrial area, plan for either rail or ship access. Trucks become rather impractical beyond maybe 2km or so, particularly for raw materials
Each system is so detailed that it feels like its own game -- transit, resource management, city planning -- I could NEVER tire of watching you play a game with so much variety.
@@nizarmouroudi416 yes and you actually can produce all the resources to build and then ship them to the building site (or you can import from the border). There is a lot of difficulty settings so it depends if that is an option or a need.
@SecuR0M im a dangist(ideology of modern china), so i might be biesed, but no, in china bourgeoisie do exist, but they really dont have any power chinese government owns majority shears in most companies they pretty much run where what and when it will be build if you want to sey city skylines is a game where you buld socialist city late and i mean like late 80 early 90 yugoslavia wulde be prodobley closest
Its funny to see so many people shit talk socialist cities, but although I live in country that doesn´t have best memories on those times it seems that everyone likes how the government planned those cities and we basically still just try to renovate them, because newer areas suck. We just sell city areas to whoever offers most money, which are usually developers planning to build houses for higher middle class because thats where they can make real money, so in cities we basically don´t build that many markets, services or houses that could be afforded by majority of the population and just run on whatever is already build from socialist times.
Soviet microdistricts are an insanely good urban planning innovation. If there's one thing you can say about the Soviets, it's that they loved planning in all its forms.
A commentary from a person who lived in a dozen of soviet cities: - NOTHING there is NOTHING common in planning of this city in video and real Soviet cities plans 1 - all residential blocks has infrastructure inside, sorunded by the residential buildings - gardens, football fields, swings and open stages for music & performances 2 - shoping (S) and administrative (A) blocks usualy is surounded by residential (R) blocks like R-S-R-A-R-S-R 3 - monuments are built in a parks, squares and administrative blocks - almost never ever in a residential block 4 - there is no trees besides pedestrian passes and near the roads - that is a key ecological feature fo ALL SOVIET CITIES 5 - collective farms and field are built araound the city borders or araound separate vilage - the vilage is a center of all farming industry nearby 6 - factory blocks usualy put separatly from the residential blocks separated by park or administrative block for ecology reasons So, from Soviet Architectual Iistitute this US planer recives 2 (lowest grade) fro planing a soviet city.
One thing to note: Your citizens will only walk so far (about 400 m or 1/4 mile, depending on path type), so you need good footpath connectivity. You can check building connectivity in the building's dialog box by clicking the pedestrian icon. Beyond that, you need public transport (buses/trams/trains) to move your citizens between home, work and shop/play.
I don't know if it's having a nice climate where I live, but 400m is nothing, that's like a 5-7 minute walk. They could really bump that up to a kilometer, which would be more realistic to anywhere people really walk (10-15 minutes or so)
@@moonlight-hm4bh They're not trying to simulate the actual range to which people walk in a city, it's just a game with the walkable distance being part of the game balance
It's dependent on what type of path you're using. I had people walking 1000m with paths with lamps while playing 1.0 last night. Paths/roads with lights are worth the extra cost for those walking distances.
Also, if it's helpful, Distribution Offices are absolute gamechangers when it comes to arranging the logistics of your city. They dispatch appropriate trucks whenever given criteria are met. For instance, you could use a single covered truck to automatically top-up the stocks of your Store and Pub whenever either one dips below 50% capacity.
I love that the RPM gauge went up for the firetruck when it was putting out the fire when stationary, because it uses the engine for the pumps. Crazy detail.
32:00 "We don't want to put these polluting factories too close to our citizens... Let's just build a new set of flats right next to the factories." 😂 Keep it up, this was fun.
I had no idea that this game was so complex! Also, I enjoyed hearing you butcher the names of nearly every character. I'm definitely hoping this becomes a series.
If you double click the F1 button, it brings us a wire frame grid that you can snap to. Clicking F1 once only brings up the wireframe, but doesn't let you snap until the second click.
Most modern city builders actually also are a State-driven economy. Because if player doesnt have say in everything - it is less fun of a game. So they are much closer to Central Planning ;) For example - CS2 allows you to make factories, built with city money - that is state-owned means of production. W&R:SR just goes a few step deeper with that concept. Especially in "realistic" mode where you feel the true weight of Central Planning on your shoulders.
They have state-driven because they won't even try to have an actual economy. In wrsr you actually have to build parking. While cs2 just uses magic. In wrsr when you have an housing crisis you cope or you just build more. In cs2 the devs patch the game.
@@veevoir I remember Donoteat01 calling City Skylines' industry DLC the "Chinese State Capitalism" DLC which is a fair assessment of most city builder game economies
Not true. Most of them are built around a neoliberal capitalist economy. There's a polygon video that does a deep dive into the politics of simcity in "Unboxing the hidden politics of SimCity" and Radical Planning touches on it for the first few minutes in "What is Urban Planning?"
@@derpcade I some aspects I guess. Nobody's hungry. Everybody has access to free medical services housing and education. But capitalism is lurking around the corner :)
So a good tip here is buildings that don't have vehicles and don't take deliveries (like residentials and cinema) *do not* need a road connection, they are fine using exclusively footpaths.
pro tip: residences can get by with gravel footpaths only, they can serve as emergency-access driveways in a pinch and it makes lots of very sweet layouts work great.
34:08 Discarding food and alcohol to meet production quotas… how very Soviet of you. Excellent work, comrade! Looking forward to more of this game in the future!
I am so excited that you finally took another look into this great game! It's one of my favorites, and I've easily racked up more than 1k hours when it was in Early Access. So let me give you some tips! F1 controls the grid, hit F1 again to toggle grid snapping. F2 controls the topography overlay, F3 toggles underground view, F4 toggles road/track parallel mode, the T key mirrors a building. When designing a road layout, use mud roads first! They're free and build instantly. Upgrade to gravel/panel/asphalt when you're done. Same could be said for sidewalks. Citizens can walk up to 400 meters. And please make this game a series Comrade Phil!
Comerade Planner, The Republic requires more of your excellent planning skills to beat the Westeners and show how glorious our Republic can be ! On a serious note though the game is amazing and id love to see how you build up your republic. Especially with how beautifully design your CS cities. There are also alot of workshop addons adding great buildings, factories and even small decorations to truly get into the decorating and detailing.
Thanks for doing a playthrough. I tried this a year or so ago and had the exact same reation......it was a lot to take in with no tutorials. Had no idea all the refinement that went into the game. I'll give it a whirl again because this game looks so cool
Oh I'm so glad you've picked this up! This game is so in depth it's wild, even though some of the terrain meshing and so on drive me bonkers- and it honestly has gotten so deep in simulation I can't run it in the hardest mode with everything on without absolutely dropping the ball.
So glad you are playing this! This is my most played game by far. The best City Builder/Management game. I love that you control every single thing from resources, to final products, to workers, trade, etc. It's so satisfying when you become self-sufficient on your own resources. It's crazy fun and difficult especially in realistic mode.
Saw the thumbnail and already the distances between the buildings are far and american-like. Good thing about this game is that the walkability and timeliness of transport in relation to production as a core ideology of the game.
If you look at new buuld urban areas in the eastern block, and western countries, you will see more green spqce allocated between blocks in the eastern block ones, by far. Even with the parki g lots that evwntually popped up around them. In fact what you actually tend to see is a central park area with groceries kindergartens, recreation areas, medical clinics and the like around its edge, a ring road, and then a double row of residential towers in concentric circles around the park. And then self contained squares like this form city blocks divided by arterial roads with public transport connections often trams down the apine of the arterials. And less commonly used services or excessively large footprint buildings take up bocks of their own.
Comrade Phil! A labour lottery has found you to be the lucky winner of a new and prestigious assignment. You will act as the new citizen's urban planner in a burgeoning workers republic. We expect to see you produce many more videos following your success in this field Congratulations and blessings of good work.
From watching other people play this, it really seems that the game shines most at its toughest difficulty. Imports need to be taken from the border to your warehouses/stockpiles/factories. Vehicles need fuel and degrade, needing maintenance else they break down. Nothing builds on their own, and you need workers and vehicles, machinery, construction materials, *and* man-hours to build things. I'd love to see Phil play it, but I think it might be too much unless he really wants to dive into the game.
Realistic Mode has a very slow start, that's right, you have to micro manage almost EVERYTHING before reaching some sort of decent automation. Once you reach that automation you'll find out whether it was a failure or a success, why? Because everything from the first building you placed somewhere defines how things will go in the future, inflation is a ticking bomb in this game. You can't expect for exports to give you money forever if you have to import something else, eventually that import will cost too much to keep up, and your exports will go down in price since you're over saturating the market with them. Basically you have to reach full socialist self reliance before inflation and capitalism destroys you, while planning every angle of your economy correctly to avoid future head aches.
Cosmonaut mode can bog down very badly at a single mistake. I would recommend playing with quick build on for the first 200-300 hours, and trying to restrict yourself from the use of quick build. This way you wont have a save stall for hours because you overstretched your energy grid, or tried to upgrade a road with no alternate rout at the bat moment.
Ohh yes, one of my favourite games played by one of my favourite youtubers. Workers and resources truly deserves the exposure it came a very long way from its first versions and now its a real gem of a game.
Capitalist city planner: "Lets try to encourage buisness to do X thing in Y zone. Maybe if we give some tax breaks..." Communist city planner: "Comrade! The people need more mcguffins! Da, let us build new factory. We can put it here, it needs to provide X amount of mcguffins every month, which should take Y resources, Z workers..." Just determine which thing needs to be done and then do it. No making friends, no greasing palms, no sub-sub-sub-contractors, just a problem and a solution. The problem is of course that the planner needs to do EVERYTHING. Which is fine when you have a team of folks to handle it. For a player it just seems obtuse.
Not only does the planner need to do everything, they need to be correct in their estimations, prepared for complex interaction or unforseen events changing demand, bzild in redundancy for supply chain falioures etc. etc. Its not that it cant work, its that it is an excruciatingly difficult task.
If you want to shatter your brain, put everything on realistic mode. You actually have to provide workers and vehicles to haul resources in order to build infrastructure and each building takes months. Then you have to also worry about electricity, water and sewage, and heating. Resources actually need to be purchased and hauled from the borders (or depos). When you destroy buildings, you need to send vehicles to clear and dispose of the debris before the area is cleaned up. It's a steep learning curve, but it's 100% worth doing.
I've been hoping for this day for so long, and what great timing--my birthday is in 2 days! I hope you've enjoyed this game enough that you'll be playing more.
one of its more hardcore features is that you need vehicles to construct roads and buildings, provide them a depot, rent construction equipment from the border control and office, steamrollers to pave paths and asphalt, workers to construct the buildings, trucks to haul materials, etc. there's also gas stations for vehicles
Please accept this corrupt capitalist currency as a donation for the well being and care of our glorious workers! From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs!
Please do the rest of the tutorial! It's really cool to watch and see a different type of city builder. And then at the end make a new city with everything you learned!
I've always been tempted to get this game, something about the Cold War era that just tickles parts of my brain. Be it the brutalist design, the music, the mystery of it or even the weather there is just something there that is intriguing.
The only city builder i have any interest in 😂 recently bought it and now going through tutorial videos on YT and this popped up in my recommended. People's regular gameplay videos like this one help tie the tutorials together. Great vid my guy.
for some reason newly built commie blocks and other buildings look like they served for 40 years and past though 1990-s shock therapy time of deindustrialization and social decay if you look at old photos of new districts in USSR or Yugoslavia you won't see this depressing picture. They are shining white, and put inside well-designed blocks with a lot of green alleys, parks, fountains and so on. Also jokes like "what provides happiness - alcohol" lacking taste and kill the general mood a bit.
Im glad youre trying the game out again and enjoying it! I really enjoy for its "nicheness" and intricate simulation. Here's hoping you'll continue this into a series.
nice game, thanks for checking it out! I really love the level of detail the dev's put into the game. I'm probably purchase it too while it is on sale right now. THank you a lot and please make a series out of this! Keep it up!
I've got hundreds of hours in this game, really happy to see you play it. You're right, Phil. It's not fair to compare this game to CS1 or CS2, they provide a totally different economic experience which feeds through to the fundamental planning and design of your city / region. The game is a lot more fun in realistic mode but much slower. You can't just auto buy buildings, you have to provide all the building resources to site and then have workers spend time building the structure over multiple stages, who can be enhanced by the presence of different machinery on site (excavators, cranes etc). Hope you turn this into a full series. Join us, Comrade!
@@Asteroidaceae I'm amazed to not see more comments displaying a complete lack of understanding of capitalism and communism... Maybe CPP's audience skews a bit more educated on the subject.
'Business' as such would be a misnomer, outside of Hungary after the 70s, or the rest of the easter block after perestroika. Private enterprise did not exist, and so neuther did 'businesses'. You did have conaumer stores, and even brand name goods, with their own outlets, like Sókoł was a quiet beloved Polish electronics manifacturer, but they were all state owned enterprises with centrally set production orders and pricing. Later small private businesses wouldbe allowed to open and operate for profit, but these tended to be things like repair shops, coffe shops or boutiqe storey. Complex good manifacturing wasnt privatised until after the fall of the Soviet Union.
I really love how the difficulty options in this game work. You can set the difficulty for different game mechanics separately, all the way from "harder than actually running a nation" to "practically sandbox". You can also change this on the fly, so you don't have to start anew if you don't like the settings you picked. I think a lot of other games could really benefit from going in that direction...
It's an interesting game no doubt, I wouldn't mind seeing more of it. Excellent work, Comrade City Planner. Love the red accented intro by the way, Phil.
Realism mode is so fun but requires following a guide and/or quite a few hours of experience so I think it’s best saved for after at least a (mini) series of this game
@@LawrenceTimme realistically the gulag is their only prison, over half of people being there for actual felonies. crime was high energy in post-civil war and post ww2 USSR. Unregistered weapons were laying around from wars. It means that your prisons may be set up as production plants or as construction sets for some loong and tedious infrastructure project. Setting them up as gulag (forced labour) camps would decrease happiness, setting them up as voluntary and paid would cost more, mean some inmates would prefer reading books, but increase productivity.
Remember Comrade City Planner, your citizens are socialist workers, not "employees," as under capitalism. Keep up the good work for our Soviet Republic!
I love that your logo changed to red, though I honestly was also hoping for a little star above the city, lol. If you plan to continue this series, or maybe even plan to make a seperate project of this game, I'd absolutely love to see you try playing in realistic mode, as the game in realistic is another level of indepth and complex.
Phil you missed the main point of this game, u can construct each of the buildings by each components that you manufacture.. It has a complex construction mechanic..
Oh yeeees 🎉🎉🎉 So great to see you give a try to this lovely game! Some pro tips from someone that struggled yet now manages to get sustainable republics in Realist mode: 1. The building and decommissioning animations are an integral part of the simulation. On lower difficulty settings, construction/demolition are automatised. On realist mode, you have to buy the construction vehicles, and arrange with buses that workers come on the work site 🥹 2. Always start your city planning from a public transport hub (usually a big bus station). This is essential to link with other communities AND effectively doubles walking range, as citizens looking for commodities can walk to the bus station, then if bus station is in walking range of a shop, they'll leave the station and walk to the shop! 3. Residential building, as well as most commodities do not need a road connection, even if they have a slot for it. Roads are mandatory for any building with storage (shop, pubs...), or integrated parkings (fire, hospital, police...). 4. When placing stuff, cost varies depending on material prices and availability (it's free if you have the material somewhere on your map) AND transport cost, so roughly the distance to your border post. 5. Regarding "the worst side of your personality", tapping F1 twice will trigger grid snapping 🥰 6. Never ever let your fields in a walking range of your citizens. Fields are best placed near a farm, where "automated" (i.e. w/o workers) vehicles can do all the job without eating jobs! I hope this helps you comrade 🤞🏻✊🏻

To add to that: Not everything needs a road because soviet design is not car-centric. Comrade citizen will wait 20-30 years for a personal car if even eligible. So the rule is: will a truck need to arrive there? Road. Not? No need for a road, just pathways. City services can use pathways,too. So residential, cinema, sports - can be built without road. Hell, shops and pubs can be without road IF you have a warehouse plugged to them in the back.
Thanks dud
@@veevoir Don't you need road access for construction vehicles? Been a while since I played it myself.
@@fus132 They use paths, too. But the difference is mud road is instant ;) path needs to be built before building so they can access it.
-You can also export crude oil early on if there is a good deposit nearby, since the pumps don't require workers!
-Another thing i would add, when you set up an industrial area, plan for either rail or ship access. Trucks become rather impractical beyond maybe 2km or so, particularly for raw materials
Each system is so detailed that it feels like its own game -- transit, resource management, city planning -- I could NEVER tire of watching you play a game with so much variety.
Building are built instantly, it's it the game where you actually buy the excavator and the trucks and wait for it to be built?
@@nizarmouroudi416 yes and you actually can produce all the resources to build and then ship them to the building site (or you can import from the border). There is a lot of difficulty settings so it depends if that is an option or a need.
@@nizarmouroudi416 Yes, it's the same game you need to play "realistic mode" to get it to play like that though.

Its funny to see so many people shit talk socialist cities, but although I live in country that doesn´t have best memories on those times it seems that everyone likes how the government planned those cities and we basically still just try to renovate them, because newer areas suck. We just sell city areas to whoever offers most money, which are usually developers planning to build houses for higher middle class because thats where they can make real money, so in cities we basically don´t build that many markets, services or houses that could be afforded by majority of the population and just run on whatever is already build from socialist times.
Soviet microdistricts are an insanely good urban planning innovation. If there's one thing you can say about the Soviets, it's that they loved planning in all its forms.
About one of the few good things the Soviets did.

A commentary from a person who lived in a dozen of soviet cities:
- NOTHING there is NOTHING common in planning of this city in video and real Soviet cities plans
1 - all residential blocks has infrastructure inside, sorunded by the residential buildings - gardens, football fields, swings and open stages for music & performances
2 - shoping (S) and administrative (A) blocks usualy is surounded by residential (R) blocks like R-S-R-A-R-S-R
3 - monuments are built in a parks, squares and administrative blocks - almost never ever in a residential block
4 - there is no trees besides pedestrian passes and near the roads - that is a key ecological feature fo ALL SOVIET CITIES
5 - collective farms and field are built araound the city borders or araound separate vilage - the vilage is a center of all farming industry nearby
6 - factory blocks usualy put separatly from the residential blocks separated by park or administrative block for ecology reasons
So, from Soviet Architectual Iistitute this US planer recives 2 (lowest grade) fro planing a soviet city.
One thing to note: Your citizens will only walk so far (about 400 m or 1/4 mile, depending on path type), so you need good footpath connectivity. You can check building connectivity in the building's dialog box by clicking the pedestrian icon. Beyond that, you need public transport (buses/trams/trains) to move your citizens between home, work and shop/play.
I don't know if it's having a nice climate where I live, but 400m is nothing, that's like a 5-7 minute walk. They could really bump that up to a kilometer, which would be more realistic to anywhere people really walk (10-15 minutes or so)
@@moonlight-hm4bh They're not trying to simulate the actual range to which people walk in a city, it's just a game with the walkable distance being part of the game balance
@@moonlight-hm4bh the walking range is limited by performance iirc, the game would chug too much at longer pedestrian ranges. It used to be even less
@@KarolOfGutovo that makes sense, thanks!
It's dependent on what type of path you're using. I had people walking 1000m with paths with lamps while playing 1.0 last night. Paths/roads with lights are worth the extra cost for those walking distances.
Also, if it's helpful, Distribution Offices are absolute gamechangers when it comes to arranging the logistics of your city. They dispatch appropriate trucks whenever given criteria are met. For instance, you could use a single covered truck to automatically top-up the stocks of your Store and Pub whenever either one dips below 50% capacity.
Please make this a series
Absolutely!

I love that the RPM gauge went up for the firetruck when it was putting out the fire when stationary, because it uses the engine for the pumps. Crazy detail.

True communist. Proper knowledge ))
I mean to be fair I'd rather have that, as opposed to changing the environment of an existing neighborhood by building industry next to it

I had no idea that this game was so complex! Also, I enjoyed hearing you butcher the names of nearly every character. I'm definitely hoping this becomes a series.
If you double click the F1 button, it brings us a wire frame grid that you can snap to. Clicking F1 once only brings up the wireframe, but doesn't let you snap until the second click.
Ive been playing this for ages and I never knew that!
Edit: Autocorrect hates me these days…
You shouldn't have said that, he's gonna gridlock the entire map 🤣
Most modern city builders actually also are a State-driven economy. Because if player doesnt have say in everything - it is less fun of a game. So they are much closer to Central Planning ;)
For example - CS2 allows you to make factories, built with city money - that is state-owned means of production. W&R:SR just goes a few step deeper with that concept. Especially in "realistic" mode where you feel the true weight of Central Planning on your shoulders.
It seems more state-subsidised, because you don't directly profit from the factory, but you profit indirectly through taxes and export dues. (IIRC)
They have state-driven because they won't even try to have an actual economy. In wrsr you actually have to build parking. While cs2 just uses magic. In wrsr when you have an housing crisis you cope or you just build more. In cs2 the devs patch the game.
@@veevoir I remember Donoteat01 calling City Skylines' industry DLC the "Chinese State Capitalism" DLC which is a fair assessment of most city builder game economies
Not true. Most of them are built around a neoliberal capitalist economy. There's a polygon video that does a deep dive into the politics of simcity in "Unboxing the hidden politics of SimCity" and Radical Planning touches on it for the first few minutes in "What is Urban Planning?"
That communist CPP logo is a nice touch lmao

So a good tip here is buildings that don't have vehicles and don't take deliveries (like residentials and cinema) *do not* need a road connection, they are fine using exclusively footpaths.
pro tip: residences can get by with gravel footpaths only, they can serve as emergency-access driveways in a pinch and it makes lots of very sweet layouts work great.
With autobuild on id say its worth going for the lighted path. More walking distance and prettier.

Discarding food and alcohol to meet production quotas… how very Soviet of you. Excellent work, comrade! Looking forward to more of this game in the future!
I am so excited that you finally took another look into this great game! It's one of my favorites, and I've easily racked up more than 1k hours when it was in Early Access. So let me give you some tips!
F1 controls the grid, hit F1 again to toggle grid snapping. F2 controls the topography overlay, F3 toggles underground view, F4 toggles road/track parallel mode, the T key mirrors a building.
When designing a road layout, use mud roads first! They're free and build instantly. Upgrade to gravel/panel/asphalt when you're done. Same could be said for sidewalks.
Citizens can walk up to 400 meters.
And please make this game a series Comrade Phil!
"Citizens can walk up to 400 meters." On gravel paths ;) this number is the staple of designing on realistic mode.
love how some of my friends said "no I don't like city building simulators", but when 1.0 of W&R came out EVERYONE started to play it. great game
Comerade Planner, The Republic requires more of your excellent planning skills to beat the Westeners and show how glorious our Republic can be ! On a serious note though the game is amazing and id love to see how you build up your republic. Especially with how beautifully design your CS cities. There are also alot of workshop addons adding great buildings, factories and even small decorations to truly get into the decorating and detailing.
Thanks for doing a playthrough.
I tried this a year or so ago and had the exact same reation......it was a lot to take in with no tutorials. Had no idea all the refinement that went into the game. I'll give it a whirl again because this game looks so cool
Love the red logo, nice touch. Your channel is awesome as aways.
haha same, and the music is fantastic.
@@Perisemiotics it's soundtrack from the game.
Oh I'm so glad you've picked this up! This game is so in depth it's wild, even though some of the terrain meshing and so on drive me bonkers- and it honestly has gotten so deep in simulation I can't run it in the hardest mode with everything on without absolutely dropping the ball.
So glad you are playing this! This is my most played game by far. The best City Builder/Management game. I love that you control every single thing from resources, to final products, to workers, trade, etc. It's so satisfying when you become self-sufficient on your own resources. It's crazy fun and difficult especially in realistic mode.

Great to see you play this game. The sad state of Cities Skylines 2 has left me playing this for over a hundred hours.
Would love to see a whole series on this game similar to the magnolia county series on cities skylines
That was a lot of fun to watch! Hope you play more!
Saw the thumbnail and already the distances between the buildings are far and american-like. Good thing about this game is that the walkability and timeliness of transport in relation to production as a core ideology of the game.
If you look at new buuld urban areas in the eastern block, and western countries, you will see more green spqce allocated between blocks in the eastern block ones, by far. Even with the parki g lots that evwntually popped up around them.
In fact what you actually tend to see is a central park area with groceries kindergartens, recreation areas, medical clinics and the like around its edge, a ring road, and then a double row of residential towers in concentric circles around the park. And then self contained squares like this form city blocks divided by arterial roads with public transport connections often trams down the apine of the arterials. And less commonly used services or excessively large footprint buildings take up bocks of their own.
Comrade Phil!
A labour lottery has found you to be the lucky winner of a new and prestigious assignment. You will act as the new citizen's urban planner in a burgeoning workers republic. We expect to see you produce many more videos following your success in this field
Congratulations and blessings of good work.
woo! I've had my eye on this game for a while now, and I really appreciate you going through this, Moar! Please. :D
From watching other people play this, it really seems that the game shines most at its toughest difficulty. Imports need to be taken from the border to your warehouses/stockpiles/factories. Vehicles need fuel and degrade, needing maintenance else they break down. Nothing builds on their own, and you need workers and vehicles, machinery, construction materials, *and* man-hours to build things. I'd love to see Phil play it, but I think it might be too much unless he really wants to dive into the game.
Nah the toughest difficulty is just torture
Also you can self build on all the difficultied
Realistic Mode has a very slow start, that's right, you have to micro manage almost EVERYTHING before reaching some sort of decent automation.
Once you reach that automation you'll find out whether it was a failure or a success, why? Because everything from the first building you placed somewhere defines how things will go in the future, inflation is a ticking bomb in this game.
You can't expect for exports to give you money forever if you have to import something else, eventually that import will cost too much to keep up, and your exports will go down in price since you're over saturating the market with them.
Basically you have to reach full socialist self reliance before inflation and capitalism destroys you, while planning every angle of your economy correctly to avoid future head aches.
@@unitedfront9717 very appropriate for the Soviet Union
Cosmonaut mode can bog down very badly at a single mistake.
I would recommend playing with quick build on for the first 200-300 hours, and trying to restrict yourself from the use of quick build. This way you wont have a save stall for hours because you overstretched your energy grid, or tried to upgrade a road with no alternate rout at the bat moment.
Ohh yes, one of my favourite games played by one of my favourite youtubers. Workers and resources truly deserves the exposure it came a very long way from its first versions and now its a real gem of a game.
i really hope you keep building your soviet republic on this channel!
Capitalist city planner:
"Lets try to encourage buisness to do X thing in Y zone. Maybe if we give some tax breaks..."
Communist city planner:
"Comrade! The people need more mcguffins! Da, let us build new factory. We can put it here, it needs to provide X amount of mcguffins every month, which should take Y resources, Z workers..."
Just determine which thing needs to be done and then do it. No making friends, no greasing palms, no sub-sub-sub-contractors, just a problem and a solution.
The problem is of course that the planner needs to do EVERYTHING. Which is fine when you have a team of folks to handle it. For a player it just seems obtuse.
Not only does the planner need to do everything, they need to be correct in their estimations, prepared for complex interaction or unforseen events changing demand, bzild in redundancy for supply chain falioures etc. etc.
Its not that it cant work, its that it is an excruciatingly difficult task.
Please make this a series, comrade!
If you want to shatter your brain, put everything on realistic mode. You actually have to provide workers and vehicles to haul resources in order to build infrastructure and each building takes months. Then you have to also worry about electricity, water and sewage, and heating. Resources actually need to be purchased and hauled from the borders (or depos). When you destroy buildings, you need to send vehicles to clear and dispose of the debris before the area is cleaned up. It's a steep learning curve, but it's 100% worth doing.
I was waiting for you to play this. I’ve been addicted to this game for quite some time.
Really looking forward to the continuation of this build!
I've been hoping for this day for so long, and what great timing--my birthday is in 2 days! I hope you've enjoyed this game enough that you'll be playing more.
one of its more hardcore features is that you need vehicles to construct roads and buildings, provide them a depot, rent construction equipment from the border control and office, steamrollers to pave paths and asphalt, workers to construct the buildings, trucks to haul materials, etc.
there's also gas stations for vehicles

Also jokes like "what provides happiness - alcohol" lacking taste and kill the general mood a bit.

I've got hundreds of hours in this game, really happy to see you play it. You're right, Phil. It's not fair to compare this game to CS1 or CS2, they provide a totally different economic experience which feeds through to the fundamental planning and design of your city / region.
The game is a lot more fun in realistic mode but much slower. You can't just auto buy buildings, you have to provide all the building resources to site and then have workers spend time building the structure over multiple stages, who can be enhanced by the presence of different machinery on site (excavators, cranes etc).
Hope you turn this into a full series. Join us, Comrade!

@@Asteroidaceae I'm amazed to not see more comments displaying a complete lack of understanding of capitalism and communism... Maybe CPP's audience skews a bit more educated on the subject.
'Business' as such would be a misnomer, outside of Hungary after the 70s, or the rest of the easter block after perestroika.
Private enterprise did not exist, and so neuther did 'businesses'. You did have conaumer stores, and even brand name goods, with their own outlets, like Sókoł was a quiet beloved Polish electronics manifacturer, but they were all state owned enterprises with centrally set production orders and pricing.
Later small private businesses wouldbe allowed to open and operate for profit, but these tended to be things like repair shops, coffe shops or boutiqe storey. Complex good manifacturing wasnt privatised until after the fall of the Soviet Union.
I really love how the difficulty options in this game work. You can set the difficulty for different game mechanics separately, all the way from "harder than actually running a nation" to "practically sandbox". You can also change this on the fly, so you don't have to start anew if you don't like the settings you picked. I think a lot of other games could really benefit from going in that direction...

Excellent work, Comrade City Planner.
Love the red accented intro by the way, Phil.

Its not very realistic unless everyone starves or gets put in the Gulag
@@LawrenceTimme realistically the gulag is their only prison, over half of people being there for actual felonies. crime was high energy in post-civil war and post ww2 USSR. Unregistered weapons were laying around from wars.
It means that your prisons may be set up as production plants or as construction sets for some loong and tedious infrastructure project. Setting them up as gulag (forced labour) camps would decrease happiness, setting them up as voluntary and paid would cost more, mean some inmates would prefer reading books, but increase productivity.

Phil you missed the main point of this game, u can construct each of the buildings by each components that you manufacture.. It has a complex construction mechanic..
I fell in love with this game a year back and ever since hoped that you would play it. I am glad you finally did! Please make it a series!!!!
Oh yeeees 🎉🎉🎉 So great to see you give a try to this lovely game! Some pro tips from someone that struggled yet now manages to get sustainable republics in Realist mode:
1. The building and decommissioning animations are an integral part of the simulation. On lower difficulty settings, construction/demolition are automatised. On realist mode, you have to buy the construction vehicles, and arrange with buses that workers come on the work site 🥹
2. Always start your city planning from a public transport hub (usually a big bus station). This is essential to link with other communities AND effectively doubles walking range, as citizens looking for commodities can walk to the bus station, then if bus station is in walking range of a shop, they'll leave the station and walk to the shop!
3. Residential building, as well as most commodities do not need a road connection, even if they have a slot for it. Roads are mandatory for any building with storage (shop, pubs...), or integrated parkings (fire, hospital, police...).
4. When placing stuff, cost varies depending on material prices and availability (it's free if you have the material somewhere on your map) AND transport cost, so roughly the distance to your border post.
5. Regarding "the worst side of your personality", tapping F1 twice will trigger grid snapping 🥰
6. Never ever let your fields in a walking range of your citizens. Fields are best placed near a farm, where "automated" (i.e. w/o workers) vehicles can do all the job without eating jobs!
I hope this helps you comrade 🤞🏻✊🏻
