Demolition is an optional feature and is only available in combination with Waste Management is enabled in game settings. (Coming soon with update 0.8.9)

Background

Demolition – means destruction, breaking down or removal. The Demolition of a building is the process of dismantling a structure after its lifespan or serviceability by pre-planning and controlled demolition methods.

Gameplay

In Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, the player has the option to cause a building to be demolished using explosives or to be demolished by workers. This option is only available from the game settings in combination with Waste management. The player needs to build the Demolition office in the republic and populate it with road vehicles like open hull, covered hull, buses, Excavators, waste trucks, etc. The player selects a building to demolish and can change the way the building is demolished by workforce or by using explosives. After the demolition of the building, the waste must be removed from the demolition site before the site can be used for other purposes.

General

When the player selects a demolition office the demolition office properties window is displayed. At the top of this window a number of control buttons are available to the player:

• Demolish - Demolish the building with Demolition office.
• / Buy new vehicle or mechanisme - Buy vehicle and pay in Dollars.
• / Buy new vehicle or mechanisme - Buy vehicle and pay in Rubles.
• Sell vehicle - This button is by default disabled, enabled when a vehicle is selected.
• View buildings that can be reached on foot

• More - Click to open more menu options.
• Sell all vehicles - Click to sell all vehicles at once.
• Change workplace/depot for all vehicles - Send the vehicle to another depot or workplace.

The demolition office properties window can be split up into three main categories:

• Demolition office configuration
• Demolition vehicles
• Demolition sources

Demolition office configuration

The player can configure a range <1000m, <2000m, <3000m in the Demolition office in which the Demolition office checks for opportunities to demolish Buildings, Utilities or Infrastructure when 'Auto search' is enabled. If Auto search is disabled the player needs to add a structure to be demolished, manually with the -button (Add demolition button).

In addition to configuring the range, the player can also determine the means by which the structures are demolished. This can be either with workforce and/or explosives. With workforce only the demolition of the structures take longer. The demolition of the structures is carried out by workers and excavators, while with explosives the structure is demolished right away, after the explosives have been delivered to the demolition site.

Demolition office vehicles

The Demolition office needs to be populated with road vehicles to send workers, Excavators and resources to the deconstruction site and carry away the waste from the deconstruction site. The player can mix these road vehicles to their own need and can choose from:

• Bus
• Open hull
• Covered hull
• Personal car
• Excavator
• Waste trucks
• Felled tree capacity

For transporting workers the player can use buses and/or personal cars, Excavators can be transported to the deconstruction site with help of open hull trucks or Felled tree capacity trucks and the covered hull truck is responsible for the transportation of Explosives. Big container trucks transport the waste away from the deconstruction site.

Demolition office sources

The Demolition office has no internal storage or outside connections to storages. To let the Demolition vehicles know where to pick up resources or deliver waste, the player has to assign sources in the Demolition office, where to get Explosives and deliver waste.

• Workers - Assign to a Public transportation station
• Explosives - Assign to a Warehouse
• Construction waste - Assign to an Aggregate storage or Truck Aggregate Loading
• Metal scrap - Assign to an Aggregate storage or Truck Aggregate Loading
• Hazardous waste - Assign to a Dump
• Mixed waste - Assign to a Dump

Demolition office

The player has several options to choose from for placing a demolition office in their republic:

• Demolition office(small)
• Demolition office(large)
• Helicopter demolition office
• Demolition office free
