Residential Building Aging over the year

[Thomas_Mertzen]

New mechanisms has to be added to the game to create some additional difficulties over the years (otherwise you end by stacking millions of Roubles and the game may become dull after a while)

One idea would be the degradation of the housing quality of residential buildings over the years.

For example -3% or -4% after each years for buildings which got high housing quality (over 75%) and less with lower housing quality

These degradation could be offset by regular renovation of the building which would cost Workers (working hours) & Resources :)

Well making money isn't really what the game is about. Seeing as you can provide your own materials and labor, money isn't needed to renovate buildings unless your hiring the work to outside countries.

However I do like the idea of maintenance, and I'm pretty sure we will see something like it sooner or later.

You can check out the pinned post useful links and the Trello roadmap for more details on possible features to be included in the game

if you want more chalenge why not play in dificult seting and atempt to not more import anything
and stop the autoconstruction too
not enought then why not atempt to raise the population for make your computer lag
i guess you completed all this and be bored

[Thomas]

Totally useless grind for players and extra load on PC. Game is lag fest already. With high population it is like 20- 30 fps even on 2080 card. Lets create more ideas and turn game to slide show.I got idea. Lets make every citizen poop, so we can make and supply toilet paper. And if citizen has no TP, then he runs through western border.
In real word people live happily in old houses and apartment buildings.

in real life people die of stravation too
what the high pop you point out
i never seen a lag with 3500workers on a ge1060
what is not useless since its a game
maybe uninstalling all the content will make your computer faster

[Thomas]

3500 workers it is start of the game, we are talking closer to 100000 here. Search bar is your friend.I downloaded some game saves from different players and was told 30 fps is actually good. guy was getting 15-20.
With 7000 people I get 120 -144.And it is on best graphics setting.

[tripodalt]

maybe you dont remind the game start after so many time spent
or you just played in easy mode
it took me 40h for this and just start making construction office now
before being self suficient i have to make again iron chain and oil chain and uranium mine and so much fields i have no ideas how many
not sure for the FPS but i dont lag in medium
duno what the best seting can bring with such cosmetics
so from what i understand you dont lag even at 100k worker and still complain
is you lowered seting at this level
hope you will show us the real pop cap if you reach it

[Thomas]

Usually playing custom mode, but mostly building everything by myself with rail construction and construction offices. Using a lot of good mods and custom maps. Start with oil and you good to go.

[tripodalt]

dont found a good way to start with oil
i started with clothes and alcool
i seen their is hundreds of mods
how to select only those compatible with the game quality and balance
im already bored of the game problem not for add more
and how time you spent for 100k
i wased some million rubble in seting a coal mine top of montain cableway and messing with rails evrywhere
next update i will start without no more exploiting raws before 10 000

[Thomas]

Depends on map. I play with resources located in flat areas mostly. Makes more sense. Nobody will make coal mine on Everest in real life. Soviet union had a lot of flat areas. As now random map generator is your friend and if you do not like something, correct with map editor from cheat menu.
C+H+E , Ctrl E+D.

[tripodalt]

random map generator not make rivers and all is ugly rounded hill and lakes
useless else for test boats
never seen a gravel mine flat at least after a while it become a hole
and coal mine make huge hill of dirts
than nothing related between this game and reality
i mean reallity in europ maybe not the same in russia
so it seem your not a so helpfull advisor veteran
maybe pride take all of your mind

[Thomas_Mertzen]

I play in hard difficulty level, construct everything myself and am self-sufficient.
Start the game in 60 and an currently in the 80s with more than 100m in my account.
The game lack new challenges, once the main activities are created.
Having to renovate residential buildings and maintain roads over the years would keep some workers busy and cost some ressources.
Beside, I think that having a high residential satisfaction is too easy, almost all building are over 80% and once it's built there is nothing else to do.

[tripodalt]

i agree with a game too easy in the hardest seting
tought the only chalenge it let you is pushing the pop cap to the unplayability with your highend hardware
so we are all beta tester since the game still early acess its a beta and not a final version
excepted who are playing the beta version who are alpha testers
so i sugest you continue the way you did and focus on increasing the population until your framerate down to 5 what i know is terrible especially on long times
since you are able to discuss i beg you to help me about the cement wagon and the unassigned vehicule issues i reported as bugs
and about your oil start instead of my clothes and alcool
and about the modding usage and certfiication
