Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is a city building/econ game where you manage a small Eastern European Communist Republic. It has a fittingly terrible and confusing UI with poor translation, but the actual game is a pretty interesting mix of Tropico sans the political element with a much more detailed, almost factorio-like complex economy. As you are managing a planned economy, you have to do basically everything, from scheduling buses to drop workers off at individual work places to distributing food to your stores. Once you get passed the difficulty of placing a simple road, its pretty good. I'm making this thread to post about it.

heres the steam blurb things since i can't think of anything else to include in the op

quote:

ABOUT THIS GAME

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.

I'd recommend watching a few lets plays or something to get a handle of how things work at first, as it can be quite confusing.

How big a city can you build, anyways?

the map is massive, I'm not sure how many people and stuff the game could support but I imagine a ton.

this is my first city after about 8 hours of play, but this is only a very small fraction of the map and I've been going quite slowly as I'm mostly just learning the game.
