Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic ‒ Early Start is a DLC expansion that lets players begin their republic in earlier decades (1930s, 1940s, or 1950s). It introduces new vehicles, buildings, and historical constraints to capture the feel of a developing Soviet-era industrial state. Players must work with slower technologies, era-appropriate architecture, and coal-powered infrastructure to build up over time.

Key Features

• Start your game in the 1930s, 40s, or 50s
  Each era comes with limitations and challenges, including restricted technology, slower development, and more primitive infrastructure.

• Over 90 new vehicles
  Includes steam locomotives, early trucks, trams, buses, aircraft, and ships, featuring both Soviet and NATO designs.

• Coal as a central resource
  Power engines, buildings, and transport systems primarily through coal before the widespread use of oil and electricity.

• New building types and architectural styles
  Construct facilities that reflect the design, scale, and materials used in mid-20th-century development.

• Revised technology progression
  Unlocks unfold gradually, mirroring historical advancements from basic coal industry to more modern power and transport.

• Iconic monuments
  Add historical landmarks to your republic for visual impact and prestige.

• Two new maps: Moscow and St. Petersburg
  Available in multiple starting conditions: populated with infrastructure, semi-developed, or entirely blank for full control.

• Full compatibility with other content
  Works with all existing maps, including those from the base game, World Maps, and Biomes DLC.
