New version 0.8.2.22Wed, 19 August 2020
Seasons and shipsIn this update of Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic we are introducing seasons. Now after summer, the weather will start becoming colder and you will need to be prepared for winter. During the winter everything will become covered with snow and you will need to plow the roads as well as set up a central heating network to keep your citizens from freezing.
Moreover, this update also focuses on finalizing ships; many new types of ships and harbors were added. Another interesting new feature is the possibility to pack goods into containers to speed up the loading and unloading of ships
