Can I promote my tool or channel here?
Yes, but the “No Excessive Self-Promotion” rule limits posts promoting your own social media accounts to one per 31 days, and the post itself still has to be high quality and game related.

Rule summary
- Be Civil: Be respectful to others and keep discussions civil.
- All Posts Must Be In English: Posting in English allows as many people as possible to read and interact with posts in this subreddit, and allows for effective moderation of content.
- Flair and Describe Posts Properly: Flair your posts correctly so that people can find them in the future. Do not make your posts misleading.
- Content Must Be Related To Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.: All content must be related to the game Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic. Other content belongs in other subreddits.
- No Low Effort Posts: Low effort posts, including pictures of computer screens, are not permitted. Please take the time to create a high-quality post.
- AI Usage: AI usage should be disclosed and for a purpose that provides value. Posts that use AI without disclosure or that violate the Low Effort rule will be removed. If using AI to modify a screenshot for legitimate purposes (such as translation), the original must also be included.
- No Excessive Self-Promotion: Posts promoting your own social media accounts (Youtube, Twitch, etc.) are limited to one per 31 days. This includes Let's-Play videos and other similar content.
Works well
- A guide post that teaches something specific about the game, like how you planned a transport line or balanced your economy, with a proper screenshot and the right flair.
- A show and tell post of a tool, mod, or planner you built for the game, framed as something useful for players rather than a pitch.
- A question post asking how other players handle a real in-game problem you are facing, which earns goodwill before you ever mention anything of yours.
- A single well-made post per 31 days promoting your YouTube or channel, since that is exactly what the self-promotion rule allows.
- A detailed breakdown of a build you are proud of, with real screenshots instead of photos of your screen.
Avoid
- Posting in any language other than English, which gets removed under “All Posts Must Be In English”.
- Skipping the post flair or writing a title that oversells what is inside the post.
- Sharing a photo of your monitor instead of a real screenshot, which the “No Low Effort Posts” rule calls out directly.
- Linking your YouTube, Twitch, or other social account more than once every 31 days.
- Using AI to generate or touch up images without disclosure, or without posting the original screenshot alongside an edited one.
- Posting anything that is not about Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic, even if it seems loosely relevant to the audience.
What r/Workers_And_Resources Is For
This is an unofficial community for the game Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic by 3DIVISION. People come here to share their builds, post guides, and ask questions about the game. The rules make the focus very clear: everything posted must be related to the game itself, and other content belongs elsewhere. So the room is full of players who plan economies, run transport networks, and show off their republics. If you are a founder or marketer, your only way in is through genuine connection to this game and its players.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides most marketing outcomes here is “No Excessive Self-Promotion”. It says posts promoting your own social media accounts, including YouTube, Twitch, Let's-Play videos and similar content, are limited to one per 31 days. So if your product lives on a channel or a site you keep pushing, you get one shot a month, and the rest of your activity has to be plain participation. “Content Must Be Related To Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.” is the second gate. Everything you post has to connect to the game, so a generic productivity tool post will not survive even if the players would love it. “No Low Effort Posts” matters a lot for founders, because it bans pictures of computer screens and asks for high-quality posts. If you want to show your build or your tool in action, take a real screenshot. “AI Usage” is unusual and worth reading twice. AI use must be disclosed and must provide value, and if you use AI to modify a screenshot, even for something like translation, you have to include the original too. “Flair and Describe Posts Properly” means you need the right flair and an honest title, no misleading framing. “All Posts Must Be In English” applies to everything you write. Finally, “Be Civil” is the baseline, keep it respectful even when someone criticizes your tool.
What To Post
A good post here looks like a contribution first. If you built a tool, mod, spreadsheet, or planner that helps with the game, show it working inside the game with a clean screenshot, flair it correctly, and describe it honestly. If you made a guide, write it up properly and make it something a player would save. If you run a YouTube channel, remember the one self-promotional post per 31 days limit, so make that single post count and spend the rest of the month commenting and answering questions like a normal member. Ask real questions about your own republic too, because question posts fit this community perfectly. Whatever you use AI for, say so plainly and include originals where the rule asks for them.
What To Avoid
The fastest removals come from breaking “No Excessive Self-Promotion”, which means a second self-promotional post inside 31 days is gone. Posting anything off topic breaks “Content Must Be Related To Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic.” and gets removed. A photo of your monitor instead of a proper screenshot breaks “No Low Effort Posts”. Using AI without disclosure, or editing a screenshot with AI and hiding the original, breaks “AI Usage”. Wrong or missing flair, or a title that oversells the post, breaks “Flair and Describe Posts Properly”. Writing in another language breaks “All Posts Must Be In English”. And being rude in comments, even a heated one, risks trouble under “Be Civil”.

Common questions about r/Workers_And_Resources
Can I link out to my own site?
The rules do not state a position on external links, so the safest path is to make the post itself valuable and check with moderators if you are unsure.
Can I use AI to edit or translate a screenshot?
Yes, if you disclose the AI usage and include the original screenshot, and the result still clears the low effort bar.
Is it okay to just ask a question about my city build?
Yes, the description says the community exists for asking questions about the game, and questions are one of the easiest ways to participate before you ever promote anything.
Do I need flair even for a simple question?
No. Rule 3 requires correct flair on every post, and the policy brief confirms flair is required.
