Increase Walking Distance

Expand Your Republic’s Reach with the Increased Walking Distance Mod

Enhance the daily lives and efficiency of your citizens in Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic with the “Increase Walking Distance” mod. This simple yet impactful modification adjusts the default walking range of your population, allowing them to travel further on foot to reach workplaces, shops, and other essential services.

Understanding the Change

The original game mechanics limit citizens to walking approximately 500 meters. While this might serve a specific purpose within the base game’s design, this mod unlocks the potential for more expansive and interconnected urban planning. By increasing this distance, you can create larger, more self-sufficient neighborhoods and reduce the reliance on extensive public transport networks for shorter journeys.

Key Features and Considerations

The “Increase Walking Distance” mod offers several benefits for dedicated Republic builders:

• Configurable Range: The mod’s core feature is its flexibility. The exact walking distance can be fine-tuned by editing the `walking.ini` configuration file, allowing you to tailor it precisely to your city’s layout and your strategic vision.
• Reduced Transport Needs: For shorter commutes and errands, citizens can now comfortably walk, potentially easing the strain on your bus routes and train lines, and freeing up resources.
• Expanded City Design Possibilities: Encourages the development of larger residential areas and the integration of amenities further from the city center without immediate transit dependence.

Important Installation Notes

To integrate this mod into your game, subscribe to it through the usual channels. You will then need to manually copy the mod’s plugin files into your TesmioLoader installation directory. Navigate to the `steamappsworkshopcontent784150` folder, locate the mod’s specific folder (identified by its ID), and copy the contents of the `plugins` subfolder into your `tesmioloaderbuildplugins` folder. A game restart will be required for the changes to take effect.

While this mod offers exciting new possibilities for city planning, it’s important to be aware that altering core game mechanics can have unforeseen consequences. Reports suggest that very large cities (around 50,000 residents) might experience performance impacts. Users should proceed with an understanding that this mod is a direct byte modification and its effect on game stability and performance is not fully predictable.
