Upgrading wooden rail to electrified wooden rail requires a full rebuild of the track, not just wiring installation. is this intended?
Edit: Same with electrified wooden rail to electrified concrete rail, full rebuild.

In both cases the gravel and steel are reused. Not reusing the boards when electrifying wooden railways looks like a bug.

As for upgrading electrified wooden ones to electrified concrete - the pillars are different between these so it makes sense that they have to be rebuilt.

I've fixed upgrading wooded railway to electrified wooden railway as this was not intend.. upgrading wooden to concrete (any level) is intend to rebuild all

Looks like this change didn't go through, it's still listed for rubles.

These are called "Gravel road/square" in the menu.

1.1.0.13 Test builds. No Mods, No DLC's

Not a fan of sewer being locked behind prefab panel RnD. So now we have to sort out Rnd before we have a place to shuffle ♥♥♥♥? Yet water is not also restricted behind the same thing, for and lets face, the same pipe? I can understand maybe the med and lrg ones, but all of them? Just artificially made it harder for no real reason or game-play loop logic.

If we had different types of pipe materials that would make sense. Please consider changing this to something reasonable.

Edit; Why do you keep locking things behind Prefab panels? Are you out of ideas?
The more I look at the sewer changes, the less I like them. We cant lay sewer pipe, but know how to treat it w\o any Rnd? Common now, you're better then that.

Frankkly, the more I think about it, the more this looks like a fever dream of changes. We can place down sewer discharge, but can't hook up a single pipe. .WHUT? Agian, same with treatment and sewer load\unload. If you think about the logical progression of how this should play out it looks like this

Small pipe + tank + 5m pump + discharge to start. Everything beyond that should be locked and scaled behind logical RnD progression.

Sorry for the rant, but this is the first change that seems to be for early start DLC that has now corrupted the vanilla game-play.

Edit 2; After looking around a bit more, you've missed the mark completely.

Power; 1.5mw pole needs prefab, but the other 3 don't? WHUT? Among other things.

Water; Nothing is locked, yet by your design changes, most all of it should be.

Sewer; We discuss that above.

Heating; Same as water, nothing locked behind Rnd, though by your changes it should be.

Garbage; This might be the more balanced approve of how you progress. Well done.

Residential; Seems...fine, albeit the go to "Locked behind Prefab Panels"

State Inf.; Nothing locked for hospitals or fire. 3\4 schools are "Locked behind Prefab Panels", Uni should also follow the progression you've set forth with other changes, but haven't. Crime & Punishment seems alright. Maintenance, specifically the tech buildings are not locked, but once more, should be by how you've done other things.

If we keep going down the list, its just a repetitive example of impressiveness "Locked behind X". Some things are balanced well this way, others are not.

I emplor you to re factor your logic and reasons behind some of the changes.

You didn't notice the "added brick sewer"?

I did, but that only applys if you have the DLC "Early Start". I don't have it, nor do I want it. A dlc that effects the main game in balance is not a healthy way to balance things.

It will probably be split into two technologies then, one unlocking basic prefab use, and the other for just making housing out of it.

Nice patch but Im with the others on this one, even if I own the Early start DLC I dont think Brick sewers should be Early start DLC exclusive, that kind of force people to buy the DLC to use sewer early in the 1960 ... *it feels like you are* removing content from the base game to force people to buy the DLC ... which suprise me of you guys

They didn't remove anything from the base game. They added an extra feature to the DLC.

Relevant for the base game:
The “small” Communist Party headquarters, which is intended to facilitate the start of the game for research purposes, cannot be built anymore because it contains prefabricated components.

Anyhow, multiple Buildings or structures can't be build anymore.

Never said they removed anything, Ive fix my comment so its more clear, But lets add context : Lets say I don't own the Early start DLC, Before this patch I would start a game in 1960 and be able to build sewage pipe, since this patch sewage is locked behind research UNLESS I own the Early start DLC then I can build brick sewage until I unlock the research for prefab. Kiwi makes a point with the small HQ. Its just an opinion but the release of a DLC should not impact a Base game functionality in favor of DLC's since we are past v1.0

Sewage system is locked behind a research for a base game? What a mess.

Yeah, they should QA without DLC... or at least have Prefab already unlocked in vanilla.

Very good and reasonable feedback in this thread. I hope the developers listen before the patch gets released.
