Report for the Community #87
Mon, 20 November

Greetings, dear comrades of the Soviet Republic and fans of our game worldwide. Today, let us talk about field aerodromes. We are planning to introduce them in one of the upcoming 0.9.0.X versions. These low-cost airfields will cater to aircraft with an empty weight of up to 10 tons, perfect for smaller, more nimble planes.



Alongside these aerodromes, we are introducing field airplane parkings. If you find the right terrain, you can build these for free, just like the field runways and taxiways. However, there is a catch: they will only support planes with a maximum empty weight limit ten tons.

Greetings, dear comrades of the Soviet Republic and fans of our game around the world.

As we step into December and watch the first snowfall blanket the world, we're reminded of the slower pace and cozy moments the season brings. In our game, like in real life, the snow-covered roads present unique winter challenges and beauty.

This report brings exciting news: the cathedral rework we mentioned earlier is now complete! We've added these new models to the game, giving your towns a fresh, majestic look.

Special Report for the Community
Fri, 15 March 2024

Peter here!

As today is March 15, 2024, I've decided to personally write this community report. On this date, not only does my son celebrate his birthday, but so does my third baby - Soviet Republic. It has been five years since the game Soviet Republic was released. I want to thank all of you who play this game and provide feedback, fueling our passion for its continued development.

I must extend a special thank you to all my colleagues who jumped on board and helped me with this game. In particular, Martin, who implemented a massive amount of new features; Michal, who managed new features along with various rendering aspects; our graphics artist Vlado, who designs the buildings; and Karel, for the great new vehicles. Additionally, a heartfelt thanks to our publisher, Hooded Horse, and everyone on their team for their unwavering support and contribution to our success. Also, a big thank you to all modders. I believe this game is one of the record-holders in terms of the number of mods published. Thank you, everyone. We are a great and friendly community.

Greetings, dear comrades of the Soviet Republic and all the fans of our game worldwide.

As we edge closer to the summer, the rising temperatures remind us of the seasonal cycles in our game—predictable yet comforting in their consistency. While ordinary days may pass without much fanfare, it's from a broader perspective that we appreciate the steady progress made, both in life and in our work.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic 1.0 Timezone Release Map
Wed, 19 June 2024

Workers of the world unite!

Comrades!

We are proud to announce that Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic will leave Early Access and release version 1.0 tomorrow! Prepare your factories, rally your workers, and stand ready to build the most glorious republic the world has ever seen.

Check the release map below to determine when 1.0 be released in your region.




Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic - Biomes
The Biomes DLC will be release tomorrow too.


https://store.steampowered.com/app/2499360/Workers__Resources_Soviet_Republic__Biomes/

Build a Soviet superpower across three new biomes: the scorching desert, the unforgiving tundra, and the lush tropics, each with its own challenges and opportunities. The spirit of socialism knows no bounds!

    Establish a glorious nation from the ground up on unpopulated maps, or explore populated maps that feature existing small towns with architecture fitting their respective biomes, begging to be united by a visionary leader.
    Contend with limited access to trees in the desert and the resulting demand for localized logging around the minimally available wet soil. Prepare for the logistical challenges of long-distance hauling, whether from distant oases or foreign trade.
    Brace for longer, harsher winters in the tundras by investing more heavily in the appropriate sectors – a shorter farming season strains your agricultural sector as heating services struggle in the frigid climate.
    Brave the monsoons of the tropics, where road conditions will suffer under the immense pressure of precipitation. Traffic and transportation will be slow-going, and as a result, you must plan around the reduced flow of industry and commerce alike.

Challenge yourself with unique biomes that allow you to explore new opportunities and experience new struggles as you build a powerful republic in some of the harshest environments on Earth.
