Tunnel Construction

[Kiwi [NZ]]

I cant figure out which Vehicle is needed in the construction office, for this Job.

- Road Tunnel ... during construction *
- Coal Mine ... during constrution

Is there somehow a list, to figure out, which Vehicle can do "Type of Jobs" ?

* According to the Game Manual, Roads can be build without Workers, replaced by Maschines.

Thanks for help.

OK, railroad track and tunnels are built by the trackbuilder. Road tunnels are built by citizens. You can't (I don't think) mechanize them. To build an asphalt road, you need either a excavator or bulldozer (which is faster) to spread gravel, then an asphalt laying machine (brain is fried and can't remember the name) to lay the asphalt as well as a dump truck to haul it, then you need a steam roller to finish. Some roads are too short to mechanize, though.

Thats the point, because it takes AGES, to bild a "Coal-mine", without a Mashine "spezialised" for Tunnel construction.

Well, the question is if there is a vehicle dedicated for mine tunnel building historically related. Those tunnels are deep underground and you need a lift to get down there.

I thought my question is simple !!!
Do tue the "Game manual" provided INGAME, Roads can be constructed without workers, if ... the player has the Mashines, in the construction office, according to the Job.

Which Vehicle is needed to build a "ROAD"-TUNNEL ?

I tried it on my test game card, the result of my observation is:
The gravel road and the asphalt road can be constructed with the construction of an office even if no worker source is instructed, the asphalt road with the light and the sidewalk needs the worker and the crane.
Tunneling also requires workers and road crane
I have several construction office one of which is only for road construction, vehicles: bus, open-truck, covered truck, roller, paver, excavator, dump truck, concrete transports, crane, road crane

@fjorker

Thanks for the "Road Crane", however its not Working. No Crane is showing up during the Prozess of "Tunneling" even for Road-Tunnel or Coal-Mine.

One office is set up for Streets, One office for "shared" Mashine-Construction (Building/Streets)
and additiional Offices .... for Material Supply.

During the Construction Prozess the Game is showing, inside Construction-Phase, which and how many Vehicles are on Site.

"Tunneling" is still empty.

So it looks like the Game is not providing a Mashine as stated in the Game-manuel.
However, I will check this with the Roadcrane - I have him - maybee the vehicle was in the wrong Construction Office parked.

Just double checked !!!

Road Vehicle for Tunnel-Construction is "NOT" existing.
The Road-crane is not applied for "Tunneling".

If it comes to the Coal-Mine !!!
- 301 Max Worker, during construction
- 220 Max Worker, during Operation (at 100%)

If you plan your Coal-Mine to operate at 50% Capacity, which requires 110 Worker - during Operation - you still stick with aprox 200 people "unemployed" after construction.

To solve that riddle, a Mashine for Tunneling would be handy! Which looks like suggestet (according to the Gameplay-Manual), but not implemented yet.

Dear Comrade Kiwi, I believe through the many different mails, I have not understood your question exactly, are you so kind, and send me your question, or describe your problem with the streets and tunel, once again, it could be At some point I also get this problem, so I would like to work on a solution early on

[fjorkar]

Thank you in advance

Tunnelling shields were used to construct Moscow Metro since the 1930s:

So yes, such machines can totally show up in the game, it won't go against reality.

But they are huge and hard to transport, it's not your regular tractor attachment.

Hmm this. I'm too dumb when it comes to obvious stuff. Is there a list that says you need a paver to do an asphalt road? Or an excavator to make a hole?
