The game features complex simulations that bring your cities to life, including global market prices, electricity and water distribution, and heat supply during winter. You can adjust the complexity of the game settings to suit your preferences, making it appealing to civil engineers, urban planners, economists, and simulation enthusiasts.

In Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, you manage your nation using both rubles and dollars, balancing trade between Eastern and Western markets. Despite the Soviet-style planned economy, you are a non-aligned nation, free to trade with both the Western and Soviet Blocs. This allows you to gain access to valuable currency, resources, and technology. However, loyalty to one side can have consequences, such as diminishing returns or being cut off from technological advances.

The game offers a realistic supply-chain management experience with over 30 commodities to acquire, manufacture, and transport. You will need to manage raw materials, processed goods, and waste materials, each requiring specific storage, transportation, and loading/unloading methods. You can use various transportation methods, including cargo planes, freight trains, and cargo helicopters, to ensure smooth operations.

Construction in the game requires resource management, with every building project reflecting its size in resource costs. You can choose to pay market rates for quick builds using foreign labor or establish construction offices to employ your population and use locally acquired resources. This decision will determine whether your republic is self-reliant or reliant on the international market for rapid expansion.

The happiness and loyalty of your citizens are crucial to your success. You must provide them with essential goods, education, and employment opportunities while monitoring their overall happiness and loyalty. You can import goods from neighboring countries or manufacture them locally through complex production chains. Essential services like electricity, water, and heat must be maintained, and education and entertainment should be accessible to ensure a prosperous populace.

Transportation management is vital to the health of your republic. You will need to expand your transportation network as your nation grows, using buses, trams, trains, subways, ships, and planes for public transportation. You can also build custom airports, plan train signals, and design intricate interchanges to customize your transit networks. Private car ownership can be controlled based on education levels or party loyalty to prevent congestion.

Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic also offers dedicated modding tools and a wide range of player-created mods available in the Steam Workshop, allowing you to customize your experience with new buildings and vehicles to create the Soviet republic of your dreams.
