Project Utopia - Extended Timeline - Early Access

Description
The Alpha milestone has been completed and Project Utopia is now feature complete – meaning all gameplay elements for 1.0 are there. The next milestone is Beta; by then all elements will be in good condition – and will be further polished in 1.0. Please report if you find any more issues. Enjoy 1.10!

Project Milesstones
Project Utopia is still under development. The development of the mod began in December 2024, starting with a prototype that has now developed to a state where I would say it's a lot of fun and features some flavored content. So I wanted to share it with you. Keep in mind, the mod is an earlier stage of development not all gameplay elements are finished and you may encounter some parts under construction.

I've previously developed EU4 content extensions, but this is a much larger project, touching many elements of Victoria 3. Looking forward to feedback on this mod page or via Discord.

Beta is planned for this year, with slow but steady progress. Checkout change notes for changes. Next milestone is alpha with all core features being there but not completly finished - should arrive soon.

All existing content is stable in terms of bugs and has been tested in play sessions. The mod will frequently update, which may cause bugs in save games or missing features from new updates. English and German localization are work in progress. Other languages have English as placeholder. It features much placeholder AI art.

Compatibility: Conflicts with any mods that change pop needs, base ideology stances, base production methods or map data. Feel free to request compatibility patches so they can be added to the roadmap. Highly recommended to start with a new campaign, otherwise laws, journal entries, resources and more will be missing.

Morgenröte: Compatible (Compatch)
Put Compatch last in load order. Looking for feedback what Morgenröte x Project Utopia content you would like to see.

Economic and Financial Mod: Incompatible
Investigating compatibility patch later in development

Better Politics Mod: Incompatible
Project Utopia introduces incompatible interest groups and pop types. I love the idea of BPM but am not actively playing it myself, nor can focus on a comp patch. If anyone is interrested in doing such a project, pm me on Discord.

Hail, Columbia! - United States Flavor Pack: Incompatible (Vanilla ideology changes)

Compatible:
- power plant not local

Incompatible:
- Explorable Real-World Resources
- more beautiful states mod

Suggested:
- Modern Style City (High performance demand)

Languages:
- English (wip)
- German (wip)
- Chinese (by Longling <3)
- Russian (by Polynskih o7)
- Korean (by 시아츠 >.<)
- AI translations including Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese and all other languages (wip by Longling +1)

suggestion: new electricity good that's non-local unlocked at T6 tech - HV electricity. unlocks pms for power plants to produce it and for buildings to consume it. every PM should be switched to HV so microing local electricity wouldn't be a thing anymore.

Looks really cool I just got started in Vic 3 and already obsessed. By the time I make it to an endgame this mod will be fantastic. Thanks

@Fairsalmon03 yep, just took me a bit to look at it :) too bad vanilla ideologies are incompatible - maybe if you put hail columbia below utopia, you can enjoy the earlier content but then may encounter some issues with utopia. Maybe some better modding solution is possible for columbia (and bpm)

Thanks! :)
