Greetings dear comrades of the Soviet Republic and all the fans of our game around the globe.

We're excited to renew our commitment to more regular updates. A long wait for news, especially just a few map announcements, might not satisfy your enthusiasm. Although it's challenging to share compelling updates when much of our work revolves around bug fixes, those active on our Steam forum are well aware of our dedication. We're approaching 4.000 bug and support threads, with about 50 new ones each month.

Hello Comrades,

After another long few weeks, here is another report with news from the development. As we informed you before Christmas, we are developing the Early Start DLC. It will bring many new buildings, road vehicles, steam trains, airplanes, and also some new maps.

In this report, let?s check out some of the road vehicles that have been made by our best Polish modders and selected for the Early Start DLC content.

Early Start DLC Announcement and Trailer - Launches May 22!
Thu, 24 April 2025



Begin your republic not just in spirit, but in history.

The Early Start DLC adds a new layer of depth to Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, letting you kick things off in the 1930s, 40s, or 50s. These decades introduce slower speeds, tougher logistics, and era-appropriate constraints?alongside over 90 new vehicles, updated buildings, and two brand new maps: Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Coal becomes central to your infrastructure. Construction depends on brickwork, not prefab. Trams and steam locomotives roll through streets and stations, while architectural choices reflect the era?s evolving styles?from early communal blocks to Brutalist statements. Some technologies will only become available as time passes, encouraging long-term planning and a new rhythm to national growth.

Whether you're managing brick-by-brick construction or navigating the inefficiencies of early infrastructure, these starting decades reshape the way a republic takes form. Start with a population, with empty buildings, or with nothing at all?each option brings new challenges and storytelling potential.

Early Start releases May 22.




Community Report #100 covers it all?from coal logistics and water systems for steam locomotives to new real-scale maps and our recent Bit Awards win. Give it a read!

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS & RESEARCH ? ISSUE #02
Fri, 29 August 2025



August 2025 | Fields of Steel and Stone: Farming, Freight, and the Future Republic"
👋 Greetings dear comrades of the Soviet Republic.

A couple of months have passed since the last Community Highlights announcement. As we stated then, this is a work in progress. We are still shaping what this publication should become ? refining the rhythm, experimenting with structure, and building something both educational and entertaining.

While the development team is focused on fixing bugs and shaping the future of the game, there is something else simmering. And though we cannot say more just yet, we assure you: it will be worth the wait.

Until then, we turn our attention to you. The modders, the creators, the city-builders and infrastructure visionaries. This issue is full of rail, farming, screenshots, and the beginning of a new kind of challenge.

You can read the whole post on our website:
