Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic News

Greetings dear comrades of the Soviet Republic.

We are currently encountering a heat wave here in Slovakia and sometimes we wish we would be able to hide underground into some cool tunnels. We do not have many opportunities to do so, but at least there are shopping centres which have air-conditioning if somebody does not have such a luxury at home. As we mentioned in last report we started to focus more on underground (metro) and today we will write about tunnelling, a favourite discipline among politicians here in post-soviet Slovakia. But you should know their tunnels are not functional for the society, and our tunnels are here for a reason.

Greetings dear comrades of the Soviet Republic.
It is getting quite hot out there here in Central Europe and more seasonal lightning storms are interrupting the activities of men. Sometimes things just cannot get according to the plan, and we need to face delays and adjust to our circumstances. We are aware that you are really excited for the upcoming content update which will bring the Realistic mode challenge to all the players and about improvement for trams and addition of underground rail public transport.
The thing is that there is still a lot of stuff we need to work on before we can release this update for public testing. Good news is that Realistic mode is working quite well and that may not require that many tweaks, so we can focus on other stuff we want to add or update.

Greetings dear Comrades of the Soviet Republic!
How wonderful it is that we can enjoy air-conditioning in our cars and public transport as the rising temperatures outside make the travel less and less comfortable. It did not use to be so convenient back in time in vehicles made by soviets, but the republics in our game can exist long enough to get the latest technology or at least enjoy improvements compared to the earliest days of the game. The previous content update brought you some game changing mechanics but this upcoming one will be more about improvements and broadly desired additions as there are some similarities in infrastructure we use for underground, that allow us to bring some solutions into other areas too.

Greeting dear Comrades of the Soviet Republic.
You may be aware that as we were written the Content Update #10 with water treatment, sewage management and realistic traffic system was released as stable version of the game. We want to remind you that the game is still in early access and much more changes and updates are coming this year and you will see many new notable features added to enrich the game for better and more challenging gameplay. The game cannot have everything though for the price it is being sold so bear in mind that not all ideas we have, or the community suggest will be implemented.

In content update #10 introduces new buildings and flow systems for water treatment and supply routes into your city as well as new advanced traffic simulation modes to add new levels of complexity to your road infrastructure.

Creating a robust water treatment system for your city is paramount in keeping your citizens healthy. Finding the cleanest water at the source means the less treatment it will need to make it drinkable. Once treated you can create a distribution network to water storage towers in the city where it will be supplied to the main system. Another new addition is the sewage system where waste will be transported out of the city to be treated. You will decide if you will dump sewage waste directly into the river creating higher pollution (and therefore more treatment required to make it drinkable) or treat it before and lower the amount of pollution at source.
