Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic update for 13 February 2020

This update of Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic adds a new type of transportation, the cableways, which will help you establish a mine in an inaccessible terrain. In addition, you now can connect factories by running forklifts to transport goods from one factory to another.

Moreover, this upgrade allows you to get all the resources you need –steel, mechanical components, etc— into a production line to produce trains, wagons and cableway cars either for your own needs or for foreign countries. Several tutorials have also been added so you can easily learn how to play the game.

New features

• New type of transportation: cableway
• Forklifts added to create complex industrial areas
• Create one way roads and optimize your network
• New terminals to increase vehicle throughout
• Manufacture trains from your own resources
• Tutorials included to learn basic and advanced game mechanics

What is next?

As you can see the update contains also the ships! Those are not fully released, we will add now more types of harbor and ships, and we will officially release this stuff soon. But basically ships are functional just we lack a content there.

We already working hard on the new features which are:
