Buildings from unactivated cities collapsing

[Saruso]

So there are buildings collapsing everywhere, in cities that I have not even gotten close? Is there any way to prevent this? A mod maybe??

[Silent_Shadow]

You can set up COs to repair them. Comrade why are you neglecting the republic?

[Saruso]

But they are unactivated!! Aren't they supposed to repair themselves? If I build a OC it will activate, right?

If you give people jobs they will wake up. Buildings never sleep. People will move in and fall asleep after a month...

Roleplay-wise, I kind of feel like it's our responsibility to uplift the entire republic and not leave parts of it to languish. If you need more time though, you can maintain their buildings with foreign labor to prevent them activating.

I think the simple primitive houses do not have maintenance and they will not collapse. But all the churches do - so if you need to preserve that cathedral for some later build, need to make sure to have a construction office ready for reconstructions. I usually use helicopter construction office for this, as there is usually no good road infrastructure to some of the remote villages yet.

I doesn't make any sense. If citizens are "asleep" then buildings should "sleep" as well. You need to maintain cathedral but not really feed people? I think freezing has certain purpose and this is not consistent.

Have you seen an abandoned building in real life? They are not maintained merely by not being used. Use extends the life of a building, they don't diminish it, which is why people get house sitters when they're gone for extended periods.

My advice is to build specialized construction offices specifically for maintenance in each zone. They don't even need to be that big.

Have you seen "abandoned" people in real life? They don't stop being hungry just because they don't have a job.

Hello everyone, English is not my native language, but I still think Saruso's question was misunderstood.
I think he meant: “The player starts a populated map, then only cares about the city of Leszcie, later he wants to start expanding the second city. Then the player realizes that after 2 years (iG) the second city fell apart.", even though he was not active at all in the area of the second city.
Is this decline normal then? (assuming he hasn't actually started any activities there)

Sorry, I realize my post may have sounded sarcastic, I didn't mean it to be.

All I mean to say is that I like the way things are currently. I don't think village buildings have maintenance activated, though. If they're crumbling, they might be modded buildings. Maintenance is one of those things that really sneaks up on you.

No problem :)

They don't? I didn't pay attention actually but I would just prefer to have things consistent - then it's fine.
Yes, maintenance looks like something that requires planning ahead since the very beginning.

That's exactly my situation. I started with 5 villages, but only activated one. I could build 4 more construction offices with it's trucks and everything to mantain all 4 innactivated cities but i'm playing on hard mode and that could just kill my small surplus

in realistic mode I can't build enough CO to repair everything on a map with full starting population. A populated map makes more sense than some large swath of unoccupied Eastern European land designated a new new republic. I can barely make it to my first border village before buildings start collapsing around the rest of the map!!!
