	Various standard technologies were locked behind new research options, some of which can only be unlocked from a certain year onward. ~~Instead~~, the player must ~~at first~~ rely on older, less efficient or convenient early versions of most buildings.		Various standard technologies were locked behind new research options, some of which can only be unlocked from a certain year onward. Until these become available, the player must rely on older, less efficient or less convenient early versions of most buildings.

	As a result, ''Early Start'' changes the early game experience quite significantly and forces the player to work with suboptimal and relatively inefficient infrastructure, vehicle and building options. This encourages the player to plan around eventually demolishing and rebuilding entire industries, districts and infrastructure projects once modern variants are available.

Relative Value<ref name="price">Because vehicle prices are based on the current in-game economy, and this economy has some level of randomization at game start, the in-game prices are unsuitable for comparison of vehicle value between games. The separation of east and west currencies further complicates comparisons. Therefore, an economy and currency independent value has been calculated for vehicles in this list using the vehicle resource equations and fixed resource costs. This is a deliberately currency-independent measurement and is not representative of in-game prices. Rather, it indicates the relative difficulty of manufacturing between vehicles. This can be used to quickly determine which vehicles are easiest to manufacture. The resource costs used are: {{Icon\|Worker\|x20px}} 1, {{Icon\|Steel\|x20px}} 60, {{Icon\|Plastics\|x20px}} 11, {{Icon\|Fabric\|x20px}} 70, {{Icon\|Mechanical components\|x20px}} 115, {{Icon\|Electro components\|x20px}} 200.
