Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic
The pitch
A deep republic-building logistics sim where industry, labor, construction materials, transport, utilities, and exports all have to be planned.
How it plays
Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic is not a conveyor factory game, but it is one of the densest supply-chain simulations available. Roads, rail, conveyors, pipelines, power, heating, water, sewage, fuel, crops, construction materials, workers, education, imports, and exports all interact across a planned economy. The game becomes extraordinary when realistic mode forces every brick, beam, bus ride, and shipment to be accounted for. It is ideal for players who want logistics at national scale, where factories are only one part of a wider system of labor, infrastructure, public services, and hard economic tradeoffs.
