Reposting these from the thread I made:

just a couple of bugh reports for the devs; attention. Running on Windows 11 Education 64-bit, Ryzen 7 3700X, RTX 3060ti, 32gb DDR4 @ 3200mhz.

- This was on an earlier version, but disassembling the derailed carriage in Gimbert in a certain order can cause the side panel to float in midair.

City of London
- Cleaning up the area around the plane before moving it causes the plane to float in the air until it is moved with the crane.
- Driving the bulldozer into a wall while it is pushing some rubble from a destroyed building can cause it to launch into the air.
- When pushed by a bulldozer, the piles of rubble intended to fill the hole left by the bus move to the side and out of the way rather than being pushed forwards.

Suggestions

- The piles of rubble around the submerged bus in City of London would look better if they were destroyed when pushed by the bulldozer, and the subsequent chunks pushed into the hole.
- The game seems unusually CPU-intensive, would suggest optimising where possible.
- Would suggest tweaking the Hammer's animation to be a bit more "weighty" and more realistic - say, lifting it a bit, then swinging it at the target.
- How you're meant to use the cutting torch may not be immediately obvious for some players.
- Placing each brick one at a time is a little laborious at times - suggest a Lego Star Wars-esque building animation where the bricks and mortar fly into place.

Maybe you have planned that already anyway, but it would be nice if you could replace those "medieval" looking workers like in Belfast with people who look more like someone from the depicted century (talking about the clothing).

And it would be nice if there was a more varied music selection for the soundtrack. I really like the background music, but it is getting old after a while.

I'm really hoping that more cities will be added in the future. I've really enjoying this but it's way too short.

I saw this person's comment, and thought I'd echo it. Restoring a castle would be really cool.

Sometimes there are big stacks of bricks where I have to collect every single brick with pressing F again and again. How about making it possible to keep F pressed with stacks of the same kind so they are being collected one after another?

It is fun to collect the single bricks, I don't want to pick up a full stack at once like with the shovel (which is fine as well), but such a feature would be nice to have. :)

Not sure if was mentioned, but you should use more period accurate cars in the game, even if they are just for decoration. That ZAZ 965 is a 1960s car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZAZ_Zaporozhets Not to mention it has Russian license plates in game. The bus from London mission also looks like a AEC Routemaster from 1954. You should use its predecessor AEC Regent 3. If you need consultancy (free) relating these things, you can contact me.

You are talking about non time period accurate cars (there is a wrecked Citroen DS in the water in Dunkirk), but some of the NPCs wear clothes from the 15th century! That is far worse.

I know the devs didn´t model them themselves but most likely bought them from some asset collections on the internet. But was there nothing more time accurate for sale then peasants from the 15th century? ^^

Could do with some kind of audio or visual cue when placing and collecting materials (metal, bricks, etc.) from the skips. As of present especially when starting (so getting the hang of the controls) it is not that clear when you're adding vs removing material. Maybe a throw animation or a visual overlay?

[Action Bastard!]

I really am enjoying the game, but I'd really like to be able to do some stuff behind the Iron Curtain beyond just sandbox mode, both in terms of what it was like to be one of the people doing reconstruction efforts there as well as with the different emphasis on what was to rebuilt and how.

how about you fix the downloading of the patches by optimization. tired of Steam timing out the download because it pauses for hours

[Honza01cz]

Add Steam cloud support please

I am sure this has already been stated, but I would love to see us have the ability to repair holes in the road/repave. I would also love to be able to use a pressure washer (though I am not sure on the whether those were a thing in 45/46). I love this game, but hate leaving a site still looking wrecked.
