Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic

[NorthernWarrior]

I think I have this game somewhere...maybe on a laptop. I might check out the Aussie additions....any particular URLs to visit, Vern, or just look at Steam Workshop?

All on Steam Workshop Bruce, that I can see.

I'm surprised I neglected this game so long, to be honest. In spirit it's the evolution of Peter Dobrovka's 3DTT which as we know was sadly plucked from the developer by the publisher before it was ready.

Thanks, both of you winter-stricken lads.

Thanks, both of you winter-stricken lads.

More windblown at the moment. Hoping we don't hear the roof coming off during the night!

[seagoon]

Right now, at 8:57 AM Monday, our air temp is 28 deg C and heading to a top of 31. Sunny day......but humid (78%).

[NorthernWarrior]

Very envious here now Bruce. Good news is, these houses may be a bit old, a bit damp and a bit creaky but the roof is rock solid!

Anyhow back OT, TF2 still proving very addictive and as a nod to the OP it is sparking an interest in purchasing the Workers game, just to give it a try. Maybe in the Easter Steam sale.

Sod that Bruce way to hot. We had 75mph winds over night, but that is just a breeze in S.W.Wales.

One thing to be wary of with TF2, was looking around for utilities that allow you to import real world data. Found some links on a Steam forum thread, one of which the site kindly installed a virus which Windows Defender let through and Malwarebytes failed to get rid of. Now having to reformat laptop C drive and reinstall Windows to try and get rid of it.

Oh dear, not good Vernon.

To be honest it needed a clearout anyway, so much junk on there. Back up and running now, just need to reinstall TF2 and maybe a couple of other programmes. Does concern we that Windows Defender, which is normally pretty good, didn’t catch the malware or virus though.

Defender or Windows Security Vern ?

*hands over vodka* Just waiting for der kommissar to show up....

Defender or Windows Security Vern ?

Mike.

Actually think it's called Windows Security these days.

Just bought the Soviet game as like the look of it from a YT review clip. Also on offer 35% off at present so only £22. Think I will be automating or buying in resources at first to avoid too much micro management.

[haverfordwest]

You on Windows 11 the same as me Vern, where it is called Security buddy. Nice one, yup i had the same discount and price. Refunded though, too much micro management for me.

Got to admit Mike, after a bit of struggling with it thinking along similar lines. Very unintuitive game. Tried some of the Tutorials but you get so far then it won't let you place the required building in the nominated spot - just has three exclamation marks.

The main game seems to consist of a handful of blank maps, some without even any settlements or a random generator. Watching a YT clip earlier where a guy seemed to be playing an actual mision or campaign where there was a flow chart of different tasks to be undertaken but I can't see how you access that unless it's in one of the beta versions.

Refund request gone in...

Maybe try again in a few months when more complete. As I said earlier in the thread, it would be a long, long time from starting a game to having a thriving complex and railway system running. Back to TF2 for now.
