Realistic Game speed is sooooo slow

[Tzeentch]

need faster speed mode.

[ChalwaBechatex]

Switch off realistic then

From what the devs have answered before on this question. They will not add more game speeds because it would break the game as their engine can not handle it.

Realistic is meant to be a slow start. Game speed doesn't have any bearing on this tbh.
On the technical side increasing game simulation speed is not sometjing that can be so easily done. To make the game faster requires more than just simply setting a new speed. You might notice in some games faster speeds cause lag, this is because all the checks still must be done, and there may be no way to compress time further without causing major game failure.

Faster speed mode than realistic: any other mode

Realistic mode is really only there to artificially slow you down, and punish you more for making mistakes.

It's not for everyone, which is why there are so many settings to get your game going.

Use 10 Construction offices and more than enough workers to speed up beginning. Take a loan and return it in 10 years :)

The game relies on some real time actions regardless of game speed. To name few, passenger loading and power balancing are done in real time, some aspects of them continue even in a paused game.
Due to my antique CPU I am no longer able to use even fast speed as my power will start spiking and interrupt conveyors and pumps.

Answer is simple
start your map add the buildings you wish and THEN start the game in realistis mode

I see many streamers playing cosmonaut mode bring their first citizens at 1964 or even 1970. They use superprofits from oil export, use helicopter construction offices and still have that slow progress.

I get my first citizens at december 1960. And get positive trade balance since october 1961. Without imbalanced oilwells, bauxite mines or clothes manufactures.

I'm sure, it is not game speed too slow. It is your planning department too weak. You can improve it greatly, comrade!

In this game speed is only an issue in 2 scenarios in my opinion:
1> If you start in 1900 (as I am doing now), because you will have vehicles with "steam engines or not even that," then a job will take almost 10x longer than starting in 1950-60-70-80...
2> If you want to maximize losses and profits to the maximum, for example, starting only from the free infrastructures of the game, in this way, an extra speed would be the solution for both cases, however, the second option can be solved by increasing your office construction, so I don't see the point in applying a "faster game" speed, since it gives you the option of having something instantly, without needing to increase or decrease the time or speed in the game.

I think we shouldn´t mix up OP´s opinion with vanilla game mechanics and
a special way of playing the game like early start.
Even though I disagree with OP´s statement
I personaly would like to have it slower.

Do you say not to mix opinions and in the end issue one?
Do you want even slower speed? I didn't understand, maybe because I still don't master this language well.

What takes time for me is planning the layout of roads, buildings not to mention pipes, conveyors and cables, so I don't mind the realistic pace. It is fast enough.

[MrKrabs]

Your opinion is, off course, welcome. Don´t take me wromg.
But when OP complains that the game is to skow for him and will also start earlyer he will find out that that is even slower due to vehicles speed and loading capacity.
Personaly I think realistic mode is not for everyone.
Some things just take time.
I also start earlier than 1960.
And I even wish it slower. But that´s just my opinion.

[Topher]

Well clearly you are not the real Noname who does the best Youtube videos there are about WRSR because the real Noname has no probelm at all working with the game speed.

How? Do you need a mod for that? In my startup screen there are only some fixed choices..
