don't worry the model D (already work in progress) will be 43km/h with a load of 1 tonne!

Can you maybe do at least 25 km/h? 🙏

I might buff it to 21km/h because apparently its speed was 18-20 VËRSTS per hour, not kilometres...
working with imperial russian measurements is so confusing at times...

The railway is my preferred route, but it takes a long time to build when starting on an empty map and you still have an issue with “last mile delivery”, not to mention when playing on an island map without border customs, only ships are a source of delivery for anything early on.

Advice: Rely on trains early on for more bulk disposal/supply. a railway waste dump, a railway oil tank (I think you can even use a refueling station), a railway covered storage.
All of those will be infinitely better (and historically correct except for waste) for your city than sending trucks or traction engines to the border checkpoint!

Trying to stick to real world specs is understandable. The thing is that with early starts (like 1900-1920), the game just drags on and on, due to very slow speed of vehicles, which makes it unnecessarily slow. To balance things a bit and make it more playable (less sitting around and waiting for things to be delivered) increasing the speed a bit is a huge difference (IMHO without significant sacrifice in realism, etc.) I really appreciate you taking my feedback into consideration and totally understand if you want to keep things as they are. ;)

Sidenote, I'm making progress on the next Russo-Balt pack which will include lighter, faster vehicles. But the type T is fine being slow as it's a heavy load truck.

I'll keep balancing them like mocma's White, Brockway and Republic trucks.
Faster vehicles unlock in the 20s and I don't feel the need to use cheaty vehicles as a balancing point.

And that's a high estimate,
a lot of them went like 5km/h max...

The problem I see is that european steam traction engines in reality had a speed of around 10 km/h
They're just unreasonably fast compared to anything heavy on the early start workshop except the Mack (which has its own issue), hencewhy I don't use them in my playthroughs.

So just some feedback after doing local experiments with updated speed of 30 km/h - the game play is much much better. The vehicles compare very well with the Steam Tractors. They are a bit faster (30 vs 22) but have less capacity, so it provides good incentive to use both, depending on if one wants large capacity but at the expense of slower speed, or faster vehicle but with less carrying capacity.

The problem is in-game realism. If the horses are to be made slower, it would be completely unplayable. Even with current speeds as they are, it’s still too slow. Drags on the gameplay. Making R-B at 30 km/h would be an ideal speed balanced for gameplay.

An'Mar, It's not the trucks that are too slow - it's the horse-drawn carts in the game that are too good than in reality. :)

Russo-Balt Model Ds will be faster in exchange for lower capacity, but I'm kinda doing many things at the moment so it'll take a while.
And the trucks are pretty balanced compared to the western stuff on the workshop, except Mack trucks, those are way too fast for some reason.

Nice models and a great variety of vehicles good mods like this are rare for early games around 1900. But i am not quite sure on the balancing, eiter the horse drawn stuff is over powered or the Russos lack somewhat in power. Their values might be derived from the real thing but game wise...
Starting in 1900 one needs to use the horse stuff and when the Russos become available they are just somewhat euqal to them and no improvement. If they whre just 5 km/h faster it would be a whoile different story. But thats just my preference.

Ну, так или иначе, ещё нужен сделать этого тягача Американского Голт, и руссо-балта Д или С, но вперв Д. Но не знаю конечно когда.

Добрый вечер. З тонны груза для телеги -это много. Должно быть меньше, в зависимости от типа телеги и породы лошадей. Автомобили - то же лучше делать по реальной грузоподъемности. В этом смысл игры - чем дальше по времени, тем совершенней становится техника. В ранней истории основные перевозки были по железной дороге, и водным транспортом автотехника и телеги имели вспомогательную роль и доставка до станций.

Ну я думаю же конные телеги хорошие, их данные позволяют на только 3 тоны товару.
Просто локомобиле за дешёвые, сложно симулировать как дорогие это машины когда их Кв есть так малые. Ну и за много тон товару могут тягать.
Глупиё выглядает город, в которым есть 10+ локомобили. С коньми есть друго.

Что же касается "крестьянских телег" -смех смехом, но в такой игре они как раз очень даже нужны. Тем более - срок их эксплуатации - практически бессрочен. ;) Самая проблема тут - как отобразить питание не топливом.

Доброе время суток. Замечательно что вы вводите в игру старые модели. Тем более что некоторые Руссо-Балты дожили до первых лет СССР и использовались. Да и есть игроки, которые играют и с более раннего времени. Тем более что механика и экономика игры далека от социалистической. скорей анархическая.) Что касается моделей - прошу Вас. не слушайте тех кто требует подгонки реальных характеристик под свои хотелки. Делайте максимально реальные ТТХ и годы производства.

thanks

It's pretty well balanced! And we are greatfully and patiently waiting! :)

Этое локомобиле это честно несбалансованое говно. Руссо-Балт есть сбалансованый против Американском грузовиком как White 5-ton и похожие, у каких скорость тоже есть 22-25 км/ч.
Но будет тоже модель Д 24/40 который имеет 40 км/ч. Будте терпеливи.

Чисто для баланса неплохо было бы скорость поднять до 30 км/ч. В категории до 20 км/ч есть неплохой набор паровых тракторов от Novu. Они болшегрузные, а Руссо-Балты могли бы занять нишу в средних по полезной нагрузке и относительно высоких по скорости между тракторами и лошадиными повозками.

Очень здорово, что Руссо-Балт теперь в игре. Было бы здорово видеть также и легковые руссо-балты, либо шарабаны.

10/10 :D

Нафиг это старое говно? Еще крестьянина с тележкой введите

по больше старого контента в игру плиз)

Идеально для раннего старта. Наконец-то хорошая замена лошадям со сломанными ногами, которые едят бензин

is this the one they loaded the czar cadavers in? i would really love that one

might take a bit since I have a few other things to do

I see you have a plan, so I'll just shut up now) Thank you again for a great asset!

YES THANK YOU WE LOVE TIS!

yes pleaaaaaaaase ;-)

I thought of making the type D 24/35 and 24/40 first, including an ambulance and fire truck version.

Holy porthosorks! You're awesome! This is a great and much-needed addition! Just curious, would it also be possible to add a Russo-Balt C24/40, as a personal car and, maybe, also as ambulance/police/secret police?

Thank you so much for these pre war vehicles, hope that you will continue this way for us early starters

could you please make a Roubles Bus for that period?

Have been waiting for an early heavy garbage truck, it fills a big gap.

Excellent

Beautiful

Added a simple refrigerator variant.

Yeah, those were my thoughts exactly before I got into making them. Lots of dollar options but nearly nothing for roubles except for horses and other wacky things.

Holy crap thank you!
Needed more early vehicles available for Roubles
