Saw CayaMaya´s update for (much shorter) rules list for this challenge. Got a question about tourists: are those "/" in food/meat/alcohol in place of "or", or do I need to manufacture everything at once in sufficient amounts?

And does chemicals imported to produce my own drinking water (which is used for making food/alcohol) marked as ok, or does it disqualify them from exporting?

So many questions.

@waigl the goal of our challenges is to make the game harder not easier. Sputnik has the largest mod list of any of our 3 and our newest is purely vanilla. Play how you like, but that's the rationale. It's a puzzle and logistics. I managed 3000 hours without conveyor mods.

Why is the Conveyor Road and Rail Crossings mod by OffTheRailsGaming not part of the approved mods list? It's the most subscribed mod for the game, and it is that for a reason. The one paltry conveyor engine from the vanilla game is just not good enough.

@zilonaut there are no limits in Sputnik for vehicles. Only trains, ships, and airplanes have to be hand made, same as HMC. You can buy as many as you want, and wherever you want (cosmonaut has the rule about buying them next to a depot. Our train rules are you have to build a railroad construction office next to your train factory, and you can build a wooden rail worth 10k automatically. And then at the end of the game, you should try to not buy any vehicles in the final year when you are constructing the palace of soviet, but blueprints are OK.

Vehicles for the CO and the DO?
The text says nothing about initial vehicle setup.
What are the limits for vehicles?
Farming vehicles like tractors, combines and covered trucks?

Hey @parasol that's nice to know. Feel free to join our discord if you want to hang out with non-fascists. But it really has nothing to do with our challenge.

After over 700h of game time I need a new challenge, this is perfect for me !

Although late nights and inattentiveness tried to stop me and my loyal people (I am the party!) from building the Palace of Soviet, nothing could stop a self-sufficient population from celebrating itself my erecting the monument giving tribute to the leaders of our past!

Finally an updated HMC with an end goal! It's ok to stop playing and pick a new map now!
