Autarky:
- Autarky has been reworked a bit to improve the gameplay pattern of right side.
- First and foremost, there is a new focus added that is mutually exclusive with Autarky called "Partial Autarky". In order to take it, you must meet 4 of the 6 resource requirements. It will then lock you onto either 90% consumer goods factor, or your current consumer goods factor, whichever is higher. It can also only be taken after you are are war with the soviets, and will remove their 10% lack of resources penalty. The purpose of this side is to make right side slightly less feast or famine. It's still bad, but if you can get close but not quite there you can choose to cut your losses and take the locked consumer goods to prevent from completely debt spiraling. Exact values for this will need to be adjusted but this offramp will allow right side to get picked more while being more difficult to game the system.
- Second, the way the Autarky resources are calculate have changed. Before, it was counting whether Germany *or* one of its puppets met the threshold. Now, any resources owned by a German Puppet or Vichy will be counted as belonging to Germany. This should encourage it to use the puppet governments it can setup across Europe.
- Additionally, with the current setup the best route was for Germany to take every spec of land that had resources in it to the detriment of the minors. This led to a bad game feel for anyone in germany's faction during Autarky. To change this, we now are checking for **TOTAL FACTION RESOURCES** when looking to see if Autarky has been achieved. (We exclude Spanish and Portugese resources from this calculation so as not to influence neutral spain vs war spain vs losing spain)
- In order to keep the spirit of Germany needing to be aggressive and still greedy (Germany being greedy is a net positive for game balance), Germany must have the *most* of that resource of anyone in the faction as well. So if there is 5k Rubber, Germans would need to have more rubber than any other member in the faction *individually* not combined.
- To that end, the German tree has gained 3 more focuses, one to take Romanian Oil, one to take Hungarian Aluminum, and one to take Bulgarian Chromium. Everything else they need they should be trying to build or conquer from their enemies. And they will need to conquer in order to meet all of these requirements.


- Due to a skill issue on my end, the GUI that was meant to accompany this has not shipped yet (but is live on TEB). It tracks both the Faction's resources as well as your own resources to check to see whether you meet the requirements in a more tangible way. None of this data is something an enemy player couldn't figure out by looking at the trade window so Its okay that its in the focus tree for anyone to see. In the example here Germany has taken the UK and Norway but hasn't crossed the river line at Barb and has nothing in Africa.

Balance Changes:
- When Germany goes to war with the Soviet Union, Finland will have 6 months to join the war before the soviets will get a wargoal on them. Waiting the full time costs 20% war support and stability, and reduced their Balance of Power (Same mechanic as Italy joining when Germany is at war with France)
- Cutting Corners MIO Policy IC Cost -10% -> -5%
- Cutting Corners MIO Policy -5% soft and hard attack removed
- Added a port on the Atlantic Ocean in Spanish North Africa (LARP would be the city of Larache) to make Torch easier if Spain joins the war.
- Soviet Spawn Ins now have 25% starting manpower from 50%
- Soviet "Positive Heroism" mobilization speed increased from 50% to 75%
- Soviet "Embrace the Stakhanovite Movement" no longer grants 5% production Efficiency gain
- Republican Spain now starts with 20 more trains

Production Define Change:
- EFFICIENCY_LOSS_PER_UNUSED_DAY = 0.5 -> 1 -- Daily loss of efficiency for unused factory slots ( efficiency is tracked per factory slot in the production line )
- BASE_FACTORY_EFFICIENCY_BALANCE_FACTOR = 0.1 -> 0.095 -- Factory efficiency balancing factor
- The first define will kill off "magical production lines" where starting production lines will have 100% efficiency when you add on factories to them, even late into the game. Note that anything between 0.5 and 1 makes no chance, so taking it back to vanilla is standard. I then changed the other define which actually *increases* production slightly, despite what the number looks like. Its also a non zero increase since it applies daily.

Bug Fixes/QOL:
- You will now get the notification pop-up if either a puppet or a faction member is getting invaded or paradropped
- '2' hotkey will no longer open the naval calculator (maybe also fixed the co-op visibility issue?)
- Fixed a bug where Soviet regular Fighters that were stored in stockpile but not deployed were not counting for fighters for the soviet air focuses, but specifically when calculating if to remove XP and not for the tooltip
- Fixed some localization for SHBB
- Italian Infrastructure Focuses now also grant Infrastructure to Puglia, Trentino and Istria
- You will no longer get Public Opposes Re-armament when you have at least 70% war support
