Thank you all for supporting the game by making mods. This competition was conducted because we want to support you in return.

Now check out the results of the contest:

In case after update you get some problems, like game not starting, game crashing, try first do the verify integrity of game files
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

In case game seems completely broken best is to do this test with temporary disabled antivirus, or at least check if your antivirus not hold some files while testing integrity.

If this not helps, let us know in forum your problem. Best is to start the new thread. You should say if the new game is problematic, or only any specific save. Let us know if game crashed always at same stage, or after loading latest autosave you can normally continue, so crash is random..

In this update of Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic we are introducing seasons. Now after summer, the weather will start becoming colder and you will need to be prepared for winter. During the winter everything will become covered with snow and you will need to plow the roads as well as set up a central heating network to keep your citizens from freezing.

Dear community of Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic, we are planning on implementing tourism as a mechanic into the game and because of all of you, the modding community, who are all fantastically creative, we got the idea that you could help us to bring a new and interesting building type into the game.
