[hr][/hr][p]One More Thing – Steam Reviews[/p][p]If you've been enjoying the game, leaving a Steam review really helps. The Central Committee (and also the algorithm) pays close attention to such matters.[/p][p]Whether it’s a detailed report on tram behavior or just “brick roads good,” every review improves visibility and helps us know what’s working (and what might be stuck at the end station without water).[/p][p]So if you’ve got a minute between micromanaging logistics and rebuilding depots, we’d be grateful for your thoughts.
Thank you, and glory to efficient infrastructure![/p]

As Reports for the Community become less frequent, there is still no shortage of creativity, insight, and excellence across the Republic. That is why we now launch this new format — a monthly newspaper of sorts — created to honor every party member: The players, the modders, the thinkers, the creators.

🗞️ It is a newspaper — from the community, for the community.

You build not only cities and industries, but also knowledge, beauty, and community. This new series is for you.
