GUIDE FOR
RMT: FAN EXPANSION
in progress
Basics - start
-
Not all functions are possible without bugs when you mess around and break the game on purpose. The game is not accessible to such big changes in the game code, and it would take ages to program all mechanics from scratch to adapt them to our new needs.
-
It's best to start playing on new save with junior stage. Then you are provided with better entertainment and equipment with no bugs.
-
The mod has not been completed and updates are planned, therefore please report bugs.
-
If you are curious about all the changes to the game, read the update changelogs.
-
Before starting the game, remember to turn off special events that cannot happen in your city, such as a sandstorm in a place where it never happens. Unfortunately, we have no way for the game to detect this itself, so do it manually.
Required units
Each city, or at least every larger area, must have certain units to meet requirements of citizens. You can always call for support from another city to solve an incident. Reinforcements types are plentiful, so take advantage of them.
​
-
Police technician unit - indispensable for investigations: murders, kidnappings, beatings and more. The unit must consist of a trained police technician, appropriate equipment for him, but a vehicle with no difference.
-
HAZMAT - chemists (fire unit) - a special unit that will be responsible for any chemical incidents that may occur from time to time. The unit requires at least two firefighters with specialized equipment and the vehicle must have a chemical incident bonus.
-
Assault group - a team of counter-terrorists needed for special operations, e.g. robberies or hostage rescue.
Problematic people at medic incidents
There are incidents when, in addition to usual patients, there are troublesome people. They block access to the patient for medics, so you have to send a police patrol to solve the problem. Only after the medics reach you will you see problematic people.
More types of crew members
They are not available immediately, they will be unlocked after a few shifts.
​
Detective - suitable for unmarked patrols around the city. Solve the biggest gangs!
Negotiator - negotiates with criminals during attacks, but also saves suicides.
Police technician - murders, kidnappings, large-scale thefts are his specialty! He is necessary to investigate the crime scene. Give him a cool van and equip him with specialized equipment.
Counter-terrorist - difficult to hire, but experienced, full of skills, useful in special operations.
Sapper - perfect at defusing bombs.
Policeman-medic - a police officer with a first aid course.
Firefighter Medic - a firefighter with an advanced first aid course.
Medical pilot - a medic who is a medical helicopter pilot.
Ambulance driver - cheaper medic with less skills. Available from the beginning of the game.
Resident - a medic who is just starting to work in the rescue service. Available from the beginning of the game.
HAZMAT firefighter - a firefighter specialized in solving chemical incidents.
Rescue dog - a fire dog that is perfect in the search.
Special ops
Special operations are other types of policing. It requires a crew of well-trained and equipped counter-terrorists. If you don't have them, call for backup from another city. They will not appear immediately after starting the game in the new city, only a little further, on a higher rank. A media storm will be waiting for you.
The special operation is divided into five types:
-
raid
-
hostage rescue
-
bomb threat
-
barricaded criminals
-
active shooters
You will be informed about the special operation by the dispatchers. They will let you know how many criminals, hostages, injured there are, what type of operation it is, etc. There will be a lot of tasks waiting for you on-site, from planning to breaking down doors and more.
Road accidents and fires
Road accidents are another variety in the game. Before RMT: Fan Expansion, they were trivial, and now we've added a ton of technical works to make the game harder. There are oil leaks, vehicle stabilization, traffic management. Some vehicles may explode, causing a lot of injuries.
On the other hand, fires are more difficult, you have to ventilate the building, evacuate residents, secure the place by the police.
