General

New to the game?

Welcome to the Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic wiki. It is an extraordinary city builder compared to others in the genre. This is the only city builder in which players can actually control the construction of buildings. The player is the one who controls which building is being built, and under their control the construction materials are delivered to the construction site.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic has game settings with many options for how the player would like to play the game. As a beginner, the player can go big straight away, but it's wiser to approach it in smaller steps: learn terraforming, learn how workers behave in a republic, and become familiar with buildings and vehicles.

A good way to start is to have a look at the in-game tutorials. Apart from that the player can find tutorials online. Be aware that many tutorials were created a long time ago. A lot of them are still compatible with the current game version, but they can show different behavior, and others can be outdated. Another good way of learning the game is to look how other players play the game. A lot of YouTubers play the game and publish the videos as 'Seasons' on YouTube commonly known as 'Let's play'.

Start playing the game with the fewest game settings enabled, and select the easiest difficulty setting; that way the player can spend loads of Rubles/Dollars and learn how to use roads, place buildings, and see how the Citizens react and what they need. Later on the player can enable options in the game settings, some of these options don't require a restart of the current game, like Education simulation. Get to know the newly enabled game option and continue with the next one.

Of course, use this wiki when looking for specific information. Just like the game, this wiki is a work in progress.

Starting a new game

When starting a new game, many decisions have to be made to create the game the player wants. The player has to configure the game via the game settings menu, but after the game has started the decision making doesn't stop. The Roadmap building a republic page has hints on how to progress and things to take care of.
