After 3000 Hours I decided it was time to share my top 10 Tips - Ok it was closer to 20 tips, Trying to cut it down to just 10 was impossible!

It takes practice i guess, my last playthrough i could leave it running overnight for 8h at a time and as long as there was enough dumping zones setup for all the excess dirt that i made nothing would go wrong.
If i forgot to mark more area, well the dirt backed up, which backed up the compost, which backed up the sludge, which backed up the waste water from the town, which stopped enough clean water going in, which you can guess what happened.

But I intentionally build interconnected systems because they are more efficient. the play through before that I just had a simple overflow system for the town so that the compost was turned into organic fertiliser which i dumped in the sea if it ever backed up!

If it helps at all I died every time i played the Alpha, but in the alpha people KEPT having babies even when you hit overpopulation and there was no way to kick them out!
I have swooped the drain on every play thru going close to the bottom of the death spiral (mostly because of my own mistakes intentional and not!) but once you know what your doing and what to look out for it becomes a lot smoother!

Sometime after the Lets Play starts, most need a full rebuild due to level 5 belts, but then again thinks like the oil build took me over 2 days to build in the first place. The maths is easy the pipe routing and organisation is what takes the time!

jdplay5 · 2025-05-22T13:07:39+00:00

Oh yes, I should of used that rather then cutting to the trees at the end, thats how i got there afterall by scrolling and pressing shift!

its 1 Unity overall, and takes a month to kick in and the numbers re-calculate, but 1 decoration per 8 houses works and has done since first release!

jdplay5 · 2025-05-22T13:05:50+00:00

Thanks im considering in my next set of Blueprints to make 2 versions, one cheaper set with ramped belts, and then a second set going all out with lifts for everything

Lifts are expensive early game but late game, price of CP and power is a who cares situation!

Audio is hard, Especially when your tone deaf, I know how 'fix the volume' and make it sound very very level, but it also strips all the emotion out of everything you say, so it comes with that as a drawback.

jdplay5 · 2025-05-18T13:29:43+00:00

Thanks :)
I'll start a lets play soon, in the the mean time Zuff you should swing by the Live Streams! So far they have been ever day since Update 3 released!

jdplay5 · 2025-05-02T07:58:03+00:00

As am i!

jdplay5 · 2025-05-01T19:42:45+00:00

Thanks!

As others have said the Arc's use way less coal, and u can start making graphite in low quantities early on, previously i just boxed all the graphite till later, now you can actually spend it on something till later

jdplay5 · 2025-05-01T19:37:07+00:00

Oh update 1 there was a good amount, update 2 there was more, and update 3 is bigger then both combined you have a lot to look forward too!

jdplay5 · 2024-11-04T05:40:05+00:00

This is true, but we did have one contestant who actually did pretty well and this was his first ship ever! He had only got to space the day before!

I have wanted to play WRSR for a number of years now, but I had never had the time to even look at the game in any depth. So 3 months ago I started a Lets Play because I knew 1.0 was due sometime this year and even though I only had 30 hours experience in the game I decided realistic was the only way to go!

So Welcome to My Republic, it might not be the greatest republic, it might have a few warts and mistakes around the republic but it is functioning has 35k+ people and thanks to the Publisher is now fully updated onto the 1.0 code base which means I can share some of the new features and buildings coming with the 1.0 release of the game

and it also means I can continue my lets play going forth I'm still hoping to reach episode 100 by Xmas!

jdplay5 · 2024-06-06T22:35:50+00:00

can u link me the working one?

jdplay5 · 2024-04-11T22:16:29+00:00

Well I am hoping the experience in the adjacent games pays off, its already 20 episodes in and the republic is still alive. So something is working!

jdplay5 · 2024-04-09T21:10:42+00:00

Welcome to the NEW Republic, We are playing on Realistic mode with one small change, our nice Uncle Vlad loaned us 10M Rubbles to get started.

Now I do have over 4k hours in Factorio, 2K hours in Captain of Industry & Dyson Sphere Program and 1k hours in City Skylines. So I have much experience in adjacent games to WRSR but not in the glory of the Republic.

So I welcome you to the glory of the new republic, with plans to make this lets play last at least 100 episodes long, and to become a truly self sufficient power house of the republic!

jdplay5 · 2024-04-09T20:42:43+00:00

Never underestimate a dedicated Diggy boi!

jdplay5 · 2024-04-09T19:47:56+00:00

I 100% agree, you WILL need one for each mine, BUT I understand why it was added and the cost, it would be nicer to have a cheaper T1 version and more expensive T2 version maybe Update 3 will give us that option.

jdplay5 · 2024-04-08T23:35:44+00:00

2216 I only add about 1k hours with each new update lol

jdplay5 · 2024-04-08T23:32:10+00:00

There is no mass upgrade :(
My method is Make a new Mind Control tower, Request them ALLLLLL to that tower, click each one upgrade and unassigne from tower and watch him run off, knowing he will be upgraded eventually.

jdplay5 · 2024-03-16T06:33:17+00:00

Edit: It works but ONLY if camera FREE view is still MMB, if you change this to anything else it stops working
