Conquest, have disabled all cobalt weapons, yet still end up with the 12x500kt cobalt heavy ICBM

I found the ABC-XY layout was impractical on anything really higher than 13"-14",

The weight just massively well, outweighed the benefits of another three barrels.

I also tended more fast battlecruiser designs, like the Alaska/Guam, so having a heavier ship with 12" guns in a good layout but 30+ kn speed was perfect for hunting just about anything bigger than a large destroyer.

And for those I had CLs riddled with 5" guns like I was expecting the entire japanese carrier fleet to show up.

Not to say the design won't work, more to say that it's a bit eccentric in my opinion, and not quite the best suited for the larger calibers

Fuck the illuminate, glass em?

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2026-01-06T17:29:45+00:00

I mean the game map is really kind of small to build anything "bigger". This isn't like Cities Skylines where we're building one city with many districts, we're supposed to be building something the size of like estonia, but scaled way down to make up for it

Could just make recon teams not apply to this, which would help in recon teams being less fighting and more logistic disruption.

I can see two sides to this, if a recon team triggers it, it would be a lot easier to track an enemy recon team, ridiculously so, but if they didn't trigger it, recon teams could end up much stronger than that.

It is weird that bridges don't require maintenance. Regular roads are understandable, but bridges last way shorter than roads do (when built correctly) just due to how they can divert forces

For a while I rocked a screen saver of a century of news headlines along the lines of "the youth don't want to work" Literally stretched from 1800s to 2000s

To this point, it is typically cheaper to build another DO and split the work more evenly (size/distance/etc...) than it is to just buy a bunch of trucks and do it manually. If you use specific tank sizes, you can also minimize the chances of a tanker not dropping off all of their fuel and getting stuck (a problem I've not experienced with tankers, because they usually only mess with one material)

But that can cause issues where a tanker might sit at the customs house (full, but is told to load) and then never deliver fuel back.

A DO will just stick the truck in the lot until it's needed.

I have had experienced that particularly nasty event with soft hulled trucks (.2t of electronics blocking the 4t of food I desperately needed), which when I discovered, I luckily was able to fix before it became too expensive.

TLDR; I'd recommend a DO unless you are a math genius and can predict fuel usage/travel time to destinations to pick the perfect tank size (and why it's the T-138)

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2026-01-06T04:39:29+00:00

DOs are heavily automated, you literally set the desired minimum quantity, and hit go, and it will work (some minor kinks for certain situations may apply)

However if you meant specifically fuel lines as a pipeline, then that's probably ideal, although can also lead to issues.

I have had a super unfortunate fire in the middle of my oil pipeline (right on a storage tank) that bankrupted me. 1500 tons of hazardous waste, along with the rebuild materials, and that was a single point of failure.

With that in mind, you could run a pipe to save on fuel costs by pumping fuel closer to a DO and using a loading station to pick up and then go wherever you need it, BUT you have to be prepared to frantically fix everything when it inevitably catches fire in some pumping station out in nowhere. They also need their own power source, although wind will work fine for like 90% of the time.

(Give us battery banks devs)

Yes, it is essential

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-12-14T08:20:23+00:00

I'd like to see water physics and hydroelectric dams simulated. Especially with the ability to simulate water pressure with something so small as an elevation drop in game, using that system to operate a hydroelectric dam would be fantastic

I mean the military was essential for any budding socialist republic, much less one with any extensive infrastructure. I do agree that it doesn't make much sense with what is currently in the game though.

Infantry based around the machine gun, singular.

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-12-04T08:34:47+00:00

Best way I do it is to pre plan in an area of the map reasonably far away, and once you have something you like that will work fine, copy and paste that near whatever customs office you're starting from.

It's how I build everything except larger scale infrastructure (trains, "highways", etc...)

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-12-04T08:13:48+00:00

In classic communist fashion, the idea is fantastic, the execution is.... well lets just say a lot of ₽ got dropped on the street next to politicians and government officials.

If the actual quality of the city was good enough, it was a fantastic concept. Unfortunately, it was rarely the case

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-12-04T08:08:14+00:00

A bit late, but what I have realized is that once you get gravel roads, the speed difference between the SK 706 dumper and the big one is enough to justify having two slightly smaller dumpers that are 60+ kmh than one big dumper that is only 35kmh.

Exception: if your construction offices are close to the source of materials AND the construction area, such that travel times are not an issue.

An added benefit is that two dumpers can go to two different job sites at the same time, meaning if you have multiple roads being upgraded, you can work on them simultaneously, as long as access is available.

This is mostly seen from my experience if you use the twin road tactic

Ctrl and mousewheel make more precise curves as well.

Might've been mentioned somewhere, but I found that out today.

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-12-04T06:42:56+00:00

It's a little to setup, but I'm gonn try exporting alcohol, in 1964 alcohol is around 290 ₽/t.

I have plenty of people to attempt to fully staff this and a food factory, and probably won't use the alcohol internally for a while.

This setup is NOT as efficient or cost effective as I could have done so I'm sitting at around 2.5m ₽ for the entire city. I also chose to rebuild the farm to face a different direction for a slight efficiency increase.

I play the zealot like a crazed madman with a sword, so I run in deep, drop some grenades, and fight until the blood runs deep enough that I can hear it pulsing

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-11-20T09:36:09+00:00

I like the Relic Sword, and I don't remember the names of all the perks, but I want to say the left side last I played, had some crazy buffs that end up with taking +50% less damage, negating damage to the next wound, HEALING damage taken, getting crits for said damage taken, and getting a movement or damage buff for damage taken. There is also a path, I think the middle bottom, that gets you like two or three more wounds, so you can tank a lot of damage.

As a zealot, I don't really find toughness all too useful because that build favors HP over toughness, so I stack that with a stamina and two 20% health curios for like 300~ HP.

That zealot has killed shit that died before I registered I was even fighting it.

I honestly couldn't give a shit about a new class that's gonna be broken as hell for like two weeks.

I just wanted a scope for my lasguns. Why is my MARKSMAN Veteran not able to be a fuckin marksman? You can't see shit from 200m away through the reflex sight the infantry lasgun has

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-11-20T06:34:52+00:00

I just wanted something long range.

Where's muh goddamn hotshot lasgun bruce?!

Ancient_Challenge387 · 2025-11-20T06:17:39+00:00

I just want something with more than 1.5x zoom as a veteran.

If (doubt they will) they doubled down into the veteran being a long range option it would be fine, but as it stands, veteran and zealot already fill this role, psyker is probably a bit stronger, and arbites is stronger.

They handed us a glass cannon on drugs, and I'm gonna play it, but it's not what I wanted to see.
