Hello Comrades,

As I promised, I'm bringing you more information about the horses, which are planned to be released as a free update to the Early Start DLC.

When it comes to horse-drawn vehicles, we decided to separate horses and carriages. Carriages are manufactured in carpenter workshops, where fabric, steel, and wood are delivered. The result is a finished carriage without horses. Horses are “produced” in the Stud Farm. Individual horses function as a type of resource. They behave similarly to regular vehicles, except they must be transported in special vehicles and stored in dedicated storage buildings—horse pastures.

So how do you connect horses with carriages? Simply select a carriage stored in a vehicle storage building directly connected to a horse pasture. In the carriage’s settings, you can specify how many horses it should take. If you want to detach horses from a carriage, just send the carriage to a vehicle storage building connected to a horse pasture.

We will also introduce buildings for scrapping horse-drawn vehicles, as well as a veterinary building that can perform maintenance on horses. Various types of feeders will be available too.

Another exciting addition, related to the planned 1920 start year, is manual excavation. We’re introducing a mechanic for manual terrain flattening when excavators or bulldozers aren’t available. Workers from nearby buildings and worker passenger stations can perform flattening instead of mechanized equipment.

We are also adding Labour Halls—not only for the Early Start DLC, but also to the base game. These are specialized passenger stations where workers will go even if they have workplaces available near their homes. They will treat the Labour Hall as a regular workplace, ideal for construction offices or other specialized job assignments.

I hope you find these features interesting! We are working hard to deliver them to you as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention, comrades!

Peter
