A long awaited update! Sorry for putting this off for so long.

- Added Stronghold Network construction bonuses to "Defense in Depth" and "National Defense"
- Added Anti-Air construction bonus to National Defense

Does this even work still?
Einkesseln 12 Mar @ 12:16pm 
can you make it compatible with black ice
FrAmed46 20 Feb @ 11:14am 
I love how op the compliance ones are
caesarofmemes 27 Sep, 2024 @ 4:40pm 
Is this compatible with Red Flood?

Shame it doesn't have a focus for pop growth.

That is deliberately done for mod compatibility. The location of the box is set at game launch, and there is no way to move it in game. A lot of mods move the default position of the box because it would overlap their national focuses. Unfortunately, they're never put in the same place, so I moved it so far down that it wouldn't overlap with any national focus trees from any mod.
stan.collins 14 Sep, 2024 @ 5:51am 
The continuous focus box is WAY too far down. For Germany you could put 1 or 2 additional copies of its focus tree in the space between the focus tree and the continuous focuses.

Is this mod work with Great War Redux? will you make this mod great war redux compatible?
MilkLover  [author] 24 Jul, 2024 @ 8:39am 
Focus Tree overlap problems have been solved by moving the default continuous focus position further down
Fuisen294 18 Feb, 2024 @ 2:22pm 
Still works in Feb. 2024.
Fuisen294 29 Nov, 2023 @ 3:09pm 
For now It doesn't need to update as it works how it should in AAT and the following updates.
Spamton 8 Nov, 2023 @ 1:31am 
please update

If anyone else has the same problem as Stuff_The_Second, try changing the y or x values in the generic.txt file inside the mod's folder (2086122027\common\continuous_focus).
Stuff_the_Second 11 Aug, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
The placement of the continuous focuses needs to be moved down and to the left by quite a bit for KR as it sits in front of some National Focus icons. The ai has no problem doing the focuses that are blocked but for a player it is very much a problem.

would love one that gices population boost

@Coltrigun
They sound like great ideas! I'll see what I can do
Coltrigun 6 Feb, 2023 @ 11:19am 
Hi MilkLover I got 2 suggestion for you maybe you will like them : 1 for boost ideology mission AND reduce the time/cost of making a coup. 2 a specific for fascist and communist to reduce war justification OR for democrat and neutral to add time for a war justification to us. Hope you like it, you did a really great job keep going ^^

@Maxene
Using this mod should work with EAW without needing a compatibility mod
Maxene 24 Jan, 2023 @ 5:05am 
Any possibility for EAW compatibility???
boe jiden 15 Nov, 2022 @ 12:41pm 
it's working for me now, thank you so much for updating.
Nitron 14 Nov, 2022 @ 10:45am 
I don't know, I updated the mod and focuses didn't appear :steamsad:
MilkLover  [author] 13 Nov, 2022 @ 6:20pm 
Mod's been updated to 1.12 (BBA). Hope that works for you guys!
Nitron 13 Nov, 2022 @ 1:57pm 
Mod stopped working :((((((((((((999
Please fix
boe jiden 12 Nov, 2022 @ 10:59am 
@MilkLover
Yeah, so basically, I re-downloaded the mod and now it says that it's missing a descriptor file and that I should contact the mod creator, and i tried different things like validating the game files and uninstalling and reinstalling all of my mods. I dont have any friends so I cant really check either :/ ... Paradox really doesn't like to make things easy for modders it seems. I understand that your busy so I just wanted to inform you, and I hope things go well for you. Take it easy!
MilkLover  [author] 10 Nov, 2022 @ 8:27pm 
@Boe Jiden
No need to apologize. Steam workshop and paradox games are one of the most annoying things to get working together. Let me know if what you did fixed it. I don't have time to update my mod due to college stuff right now, but winter break is around the corner. Sorry for your thing not working. Do you know if this is happening to anyone else?

@MilkLover
I only have the mod turned on, and I have the latest version of hoi4. I'm looking at the extended focused tab and it's only the 10 that are in vanilla. I haven't done anything with the game besides turn on your mod and all the DLCs. Idrk what the problem could even be. The only difference I see is in the vanilla Air Production tab which has new lowered production costs for the new different types of planes In the game. I dont see any other cause for it really. I'll try to verify my game files, clear cache and install and uninstall the mod. Sorry to bother you, and thank you for helping.
MilkLover  [author] 6 Nov, 2022 @ 2:55pm 
@Boe Jiden
I just checked and the mod seems to be working as intended for me. It says it's out of date, but nothing in By Blood Alone messed anything up so it's good. Are you playing with any other mods? Are you 100% sure the mod is on? Just trying to figure out what the problem is. Any information will help.
boe jiden 6 Nov, 2022 @ 10:15am 
hey, I like your mod, but I was wondering if you could update it for By Blood Alone. I subscribe to the mod and it launches the game and whatnot, but there isn't any changes towards the continuous focus tab. Thanks for reading if you see this.
karolkrg 11 Jan, 2022 @ 4:05am 
@ Waterfall500 Thanks. It works, I can add it during save, and even AI is using it. But it "window" covers small fragment of focus tree. No big deal
MilkLover  [author] 10 Jan, 2022 @ 5:24pm 
@karolkrg
I haven't tested it but it should be compatible.
karolkrg 10 Jan, 2022 @ 7:10am 
hey, is it Cold War Iron Curtain compatible?
MilkLover  [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 8:50pm 
I've noticed the Doctrine Research focuses are pointless because of the way doctrines work now, so I will be fixing that. I plan on merging them with the Exercise focuses and reducing the cost of buying doctrines by 33%. After that I'm going to update the photos on this page because there are missing focuses and some are out of date.
MilkLover  [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 7:45pm 
@N3K0CH1
Just added it, keep in mind it probably wont be perfect, but it should work now. (Hopefully this update didn't break anything else like the last time I updated it.) :steamthumbsup:
N3K0CH1 7 Jan, 2022 @ 6:49pm 
Hey, your mod has support for "Director's Cut", but sadly that one has been dead for a while now and there's already a successor to it, called "Hearts of Oak 2: Directors Cut". I really like your mod and have already tried to play it with that new mod, but the ECF content doesn't show up. Could you please put that mod on the compatibility list?

Thanks for your effort in advance!
MilkLover  [author] 9 Dec, 2021 @ 3:00pm 
Thank you @Chocolatnave. Should be working as intended now
Chocolatnave 8 Dec, 2021 @ 4:43am 
Hey, love the mod and the possibilities it brings. I've noticed the Supply Hubs don't get the construction speed bonus when using Infrastructure Improvements. Infrastructure and Railways work fine though. Construction Engineering (the vanilla 10% bonus) works fine however.

This is tested without any mods other than this one.
MilkLover  [author] 1 Dec, 2021 @ 9:48pm 
Mod's been updated

Thank you @Harold B. Sachs. I don't think I would've noticed that if you didn't mention it.
Harold B. Sachs 28 Nov, 2021 @ 7:03pm 
it works, but construction engineering was changed in the base game to effect railroads and supply hubs. this mod overrides it and removes the 2 new lines.
MilkLover  [author] 24 Nov, 2021 @ 11:17am 
Thank you MR2
MR2 24 Nov, 2021 @ 6:01am 
FYI, just did a compatibility check w the new NSB DLC 1.11.1. Seems to be working just fine. :steamthumbsup:
MilkLover  [author] 23 Nov, 2021 @ 8:25am 
I plan on updating the mod soon. It should work perfectly fine right now even though it’s saying it’s out of date.
Riftwalker 18 Nov, 2021 @ 7:33pm 
could you add compatibility to new continuous focuses. the events from that one are pretty neat, where you can gain building slots over time, etc.
MilkLover  [author] 16 Jun, 2021 @ 5:27pm 
Added "Compatibility" for the following mods:
-Equestria at War
-Directors Cut
-Cold War Iron Curtain
- Hearts of oak -

These mods have not been specifically made compatible with ECF. All this does is let you play ECF with those mods. Some focuses will be bugged, and the continuous focus tree will inevitably be blocking access to focuses. I'm able to add more mods to the list, just know they wont be perfect. Play at own risk. I doubt it will cause crashes, but you never know.
Togfort Beacon 16 Jun, 2021 @ 3:49pm 
Is there any chance of getting a compatibility mod for EAW: Equestria At War?
JacenHawk 26 May, 2021 @ 7:11pm 
Is there any chance of getting a compatibility mod for Cold War: Iron Curtain?
MR2 5 May, 2021 @ 1:13pm 
Interested in what you've done w Counterintelligence Focus
MilkLover  [author] 3 May, 2021 @ 8:44pm 
Next update will be May 5th, the one year anniversary for this mod! Will be adding a couple new focuses and some changes to old ones.
MilkLover  [author] 30 Apr, 2021 @ 11:50am 
The main thing holding me back from making this mod more compatible right now is I'm unable to move where the Continuous Focus UI goes while you're in the game. The alternative for this would be to put it really far down, so that it doesn't overlap any focus trees. If anyone is able to help it would be greatly appreciated.
