51:59 - Ohh, I think that might have just deleted all your train lines from the boarder... 🫣

I am determined to become an expert at rail in this game.. It hasn't happened yet, but I will get there in the end. I am new to the game from 1.0, have 150 hours in it so far and still feel like a noob. If I keep watching these rail videos in will all just click one day right?... Right?... 😵‍💫

LOL! Bballjo starts on trains. My immediately response: "He's not gonna build the city today". Literally 2 seconds later, Bballjo: "I'm not gonna build the city today." 🤣🤣🤣

I get it now. You're going to buy the inputs for the nuclear fabrication and sell the output. I always assume the full chain mining the ore and forget that we can just buy the inputs.

this looks interesting. there is no way i can make all those signals and bus stop work properly. Glad your doing them. fun to watch.

The controls and physics Is just like gta5😅

Perfect. I love the little details. 😉

"The bridge episode" :D :D I feel your pain re the demoished rail. At least it happened with demolition turned on. I came across that bug, but that happened a long time ago, approximately when you were at season 5 and 6, and it erased everything of that type of infrastructure on the map. At least once it took out all footpaths, including ones that couldn't be placed again (due to rail crossings, collision boxes and whatnot). Reloading an earlier auto save was the only rescue. I thought that this bug was fixed though. I reported it to the devs IIRC. BTW, I don't 100% get the reasoning / reason behind the rail layout you used. Wouldn't it had been better to just send each track from the end stations to one track each on the large station? Or possibly have a crossover between each such pair of tracks, but not more? My thinking is that if the end stations send out trains more often than the large station can accept then there just are too many trains on the line(s) that the end station in question serves, and the large station will never keep up. Or is the idea that you have some lines with many trains and some with fewer trains and thus some end station sends out trains seldom while the other sends them out more often? Also if you want to supply the future airplane production with trains then you kind of need the coastal rail line anyways. On the other hand it's close enough to both cities that you could run a spur from the tram from the large city, and a bus line from the initial island city, to supply workers. I assume that you have already built a lot of this by now, but anyways the cargo trains could just go on the outside (i.e. mountain/"bauxite" side) of the passenger station. Side track re earlier episodes: Hindsight is 2020 but maybe building a wood/boards industry would had cost less than the ship that imports wood/boards does? Not that it makes much money but since you anyway have ships importing steel/bricks/prefabs the storages for those materials could hold some boards and the ships could be set to load whatever is in there and export it while they anyway go to the border to import stuff.

It may be far too late, or maybe not... 1/ a bit of terraforming would have helped with the tram access tunnel : taking the height from the tram side and applying it a bit on the other side would have made it easy :) 2/ about tunnels.. what I've been doing is first get the tunnel I really want, then do a parrallel one (not on the side I want a parrallel), then cancel the first tunnel. After that, doing the tunnel I really want chunk by chunk, following the parrallel. after placing each chunk, place a signal, then apply the plan. This will allow you to have functionning signals in tunnels ;) 3/ also... why not use the Q/E keys to play with the tunnel depth ? :p

Fuel cost is close to nothing compare to other expenses. Not very convincing argument.

46:30 2.4t fabric consumption is 48% of maximum (5t) production. Productivity isn't important (kz it's about the same for both) we just need a ratio. So 48 workers (which is 48% of total 100)) at fabric plus 80 on clothing = 128 in total. 48 is 37.5% of total 80 is 62.5% of total that is your proportion. ofc you need slightly more on fabric. kz extra fabric in stock is better then downtime on clothing factory

what happens when you get to the year 1991 will there be happening someting ore will the game continue as normale ?

Full autonomy is a lofty goal. I'm here for the next 100 episodes :)

I just want to know how to get my track builder from the customs to the RCO. I've tried a few things and it isn't working.

Thanks for this video, really useful 🎉🎉

For my job the travel time if not included in the 8 hours, but once I am the boss it seems the travel time counts for my minions, always the same story

Good day! Maybe not the perfect video for my question, but I appreciate your tips: My educated (university) people are always "disappearing". I assume I am doing sth. wrong. What can you think of? Thank you!

92% for the water well is not good. The treatment plant brings it up to 99%. If you have a 95% source, it has to do 4%, from 92% it's 7%. The chemical use is proportional, so you need 75% more chemicals. It really pays to invest into a longer pipe to a clean source.

Name of the city: "3tits"

Is that the environment destroyer 9000 ? Dang I want one

@bbajo when you are testing mods - use bottom menu to show their icon. Tooltip will show workshop item code what make them easier to find by other players :)

Vehicle production: I use several smaller Vehicle production factories on my maps because I found that it is much easier to produce a variety of vehicles at once or quickly change an order, for example cars in one, trucks. buses, tankers, emergency vehicles or farm equipment etc. in the others rather than one large factory. Also their pollution is minimal so they can be built in smaller towns where workers can walk to them as well as either a small mech. components, electronics or electrical components factory and shared warehouse. (current map has four of them, the mod is called "Motor Works") You could have one or two large factories building vehicles for export and several smaller ones for automatic vehicle replacement in your republic as an example. Cheers 🙂

How did you figure out the meat train situation. Couldn’t manage to do it mine and I think I missed it if it’s in video.

8:10 = That is the best way I've seen to do a roundabout. Nice... I still hate them, and they are only as good as a standard crossroads junction - but it does look nice. So I'll forgive it. 👍👍

Could you link all the stations you liked, not just the one you went with? Some of the other ones would be perfect for my application Or at least mention their name so I can search in workshop

idk but this guy is a fkin miricle, I build my vehicle maintainence at year 2 because my vehicles start to break down there already, sometimes at year 3, you gota concider that I buy them awfully cheap from the used market, eh

oh, the station that i used in my republic :))

Using CTRL do delete entire segments make it more precise in making roundabouts.

I found that the collisions in the train end stations can be prevented by having the in- and out-line on different tracks.

The T813 is special to me and probably many other Snowrunner players for being such a dependable vehicle for hauling loads in that game. Cool to see it building a republic here.

Isn't parking space for 28 buses a bit much? Like if you have more than 1-2 buses waiting, there are too many on the line or they should have frequency increased. As for 20 years of survival without input, yesterday substation powering water wells in my city burned down. 2k+ pops died. :< Would CO pick up it for rebuild? Demolitions also have problems with autosearch from my esperience. Could you link twitch channel of that guy who gave you inspiration?

about tunnels : if you build the tunnel after the infrastructure that's above it, it wants 9m height separation but ! if you build / plan the tunnel before the infrastructure that will be above it, you can do away with only 6m of height separation ! It even works with multiple tunnels : for ground + 2 tunnels , first plan the tunnel that will be the deepest at 12m depth, then the one above it at 6m depth, and finally, place the overground infrastructure you want :D

​ @bballjo May I ask you who is "Lee". I know that he found this way to build road conects but I can't find him. Thank you for your answer. I'm looking your vids very often and this for years !!! Sorry about my poor English - I'm an old buy form Bavaria.

oh, this is the station I chose as a center piece in most of my big cities too :D small tip about the Huge Transport Hub : It can accept trolleys... or even trams on the "road" part ;) (but don't get trolleys or trams that are really long, or they will block each other from using all 6 spots)

Omg this dude is uploading hour long videos before i can watch the last one

Favorite season so far! Loving the combination bus/tram/train station, feels very grand eastern block civic project. To your knowledge, does the percentage of wear you have your repair stations set to repair at lower, vehicles getting repaired with less wear and tear more frequently, extend vehicle life? Might be a good test for a more extreme version of this challenge where you do 20 years no clicks and no imports?

I'm still looking for the German intro.

On The Bigest City You must put Twin Towers from mod 😂

Makes a 5 train station with one entry and 2 sidings... oh bballjo ^.^

Quite ironic to be born in USSR and to watch the guide "how to build up soviet republic properly" made by capitalistic man (just joking, no offence :D). Thank you a lot for your videos, guides and experience sharing. I'm just in second hundred hours playing and believe this game is worth to play but realy hard for beginners. Just started the first "realism run" so I'm your devoted follower for now =)

Bad conclusion. Lets compare starting options. 86% quality Medium Brick House for 110 flats/workers ~20192 roubles 68% quality Large Brick House for 157 flats/workers ~23060 roubles Other houses are only for 10-50 flats and not a real option. 184 vs 147 roubles per flat which is only 20% cheaper (or 25% more expensive) 20 med for 2200 flats/workers = 403840r 14 large for 2198 flats/workers = 322840r 81000r economy But how much is this compared to the rest of the city's infrastructure? Smallest mandatory buildings ( fire, police, culture, sport, shopping, edu etc) around 150k roubles Heat system around 100k Electro around 30k Water/Sewage rly depends ... but could be from 20k to 200k or to the Moon Other like roads, warehouses, monuments etc etc etc 100k Vehicles for transport, build, supply, waste 150-300k First industry? Or what is all this for? Another 100-200-300k roubles. So i don't know how much it would be in total. It rly depends on your playstyle/goals. But total economy would be just few percents and you will loose same/bigger percent in productivity. Which will lead you to build more flats and gain more workers to maintain same production rate. Which result in more everyday spendings and maybe some more infrastructure/transport etc. And definately not worth it.
