W&R:SR threadDiscuss the engoodening of Early Start, get mad about feature creep and post your decrepit commieblocks.
Can I get a quick rundown on early start?Always wanted to start a game in 1945, as if I had been assigned by Stalin to develop a backwards region
Does anyone know of any mods, which change your aesthetics to that of Nazi Germany, especially for the early start date? I think that would lead to an objective improvement in my subjective enjoyment of the game.
Mods to make your city not completely dilapidated?

>>2187052Well, developers caught a lot of flak for releasing the DLC in a half-finished state. I guess, they had to adhere to some contract with the publisher. Essentially, the DLC is also early access, same as the original game. They will be releasing new content in the following 3-6 months, according to the interview with Peter. But it is pretty much playable already, especially if you opt for the beta version. You would need some mods, though, as there are rather few vehicles in the late 40's. There's also a custom map of Szczecin made expressly for your play style, you might like it. I personally like to start in 1930 because of the early constructivism vibe and because you get to have some semblance of a town by the 1940's to play around with. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3526263329
>>2187294There are appropriate mods on the workshop, but you'll have to look those up yourself. Maybe rummage through the user collections, I don't know.
Also, post comfy screenshots.

Building anything, but especially rail, takes so long in the early start that steam trains are obsolete before I can make good use of them. It makes me wish this game had time advance with technology-locked eras rather than being real time. How much worse will this be with horses?I need more time to enjoy steam trains.
>>2192797No idea, I guess the only only way to circumvent this is play with more money, with realistic off, or on a populated map or some combination of the three
>>2192797It takes like 2 hours to get through a single year on fast speed, so you should have 50 hours at least to enjoy steam trains before diesel and electric are more prevalent.I think you just need to get good at construction or turn off realistic mode.
>>2192797First, there's a timemaster mod.Second, you're doing something wrong. I have a basic rail line at 1936 tops, fully functional railway by 1940s. Third, IRL revenue steam routes were retired around 1970, so you have plenty of time to enjoy 'em. Also, there's very little point in retiring steam trains at all in this economy, because your coal reserves are bountiful and your slaves are free.

>dozens of hours in to map>decide to start over again for no reason
>>2199471>10s of hours spent planning.>Not a single day passes in game.>Get bored trying to make a 5 year plan despite knowing it will all get discarded in the first few hours of play.>Start a new map to plan out.
>>2199471>>2200003Sorry Anons I'm afraid its incurable
>>2200035The number of games I've managed to actually finish because of this issue is abysmal
>>2199471Restartitis is a serious condition. I usually give up if I fall behind on my arbitrary schedule. Which is every time eventually.
Never tried making a starter town this far from the border. Shouldn't be an issue with some forward planning
From a save long ago lost to restartitis.
One chemical factory for sale. Never built.

I like having secret police and not having citizens having private cars because it's funny to think about the secret police driving around in unmarked cars and everyone just catches on to the idea that any car at all = secret police.
Food and alcohol factories are established. Next stop is the fabric/clothing factory in the fenced area to the right
>>2220027The walls keep the pollution trapped in. Brilliant.
>>2220055The walls stop them from seeing us putting the pollution into the clothes
>>2219847>any car at all = secret policelol same
