Confirmed that it still works on both 1.14.3 and 1.16.5 as things stand. It seems to make all provinces have the same, generally increased number of build slots -- 24 per state in the US after all industry research is finished.

I don't know whether this'll be enough slots for the late game but I can always try mixing and matching mods if not. Thanks for putting this together, I'm looking forward to a challenging Germany WC!

@redskeleton57 this mod changes the amount of building slots that majors have, not the starting factory count

This still doesn't work? The number of factories is still exactly the same as vanilla, regardless of version. It says it's up to date it just doesn't work

Is this compatible with Road to 56?

I thought you were being rude until I read his name lol

@Shush, if it bothers you that much use the Better Mechanics: State Categories mod.

I couldn't help but notice that when state categories are changed, the number of factories in a state don't seem to change. Is that intended?

Shush, the whole point is to balance the game to match reality. Some of us WANT to play with a more realistically scaled Germany and prefer that challenge. I think it's great the way it is...

The idea of this mod is kinda cool, but I did not like the fact that you limited factory slots per state, I think you shouldn't limit the expansion and progression through the years. So as to me, I'm uninstalling and never touching it again unless changes are made in relation to what I said.

Update: Reworked balance between Germany and USSR (AI Germany will now be better able to push into USSR initially, but USSR will win in the long term with the stronger economy it has.)

This doesn't work rn. Please fix

This version looks like it needs to be improved.

very cool ,thx for keeping mod updated!

I feel like USSR got way too strong unlike your graph in the page, USSR is getting 550 before the war

Is this version is historical like old versions ?

The last version was historical, but the current version is not. It looks like it needs to be updated

Oh hell yeah.

Yesssss thank you so much!! To many mods make the game stupidly OP, and this mod keeps things nice and difficult as the Axis. Really thankful you updated it! Awarded!

Updated to newest version :)

Update please

the mod is shit why would you update it

Hey if you're not updating (I'll do it), can I ask how did you calculate the numbers for the factories?

please update

pleaseeee update

This mod isn't working anymore, the latest DLC changed the map a tiny bit it seems. Shame, loved this mod :(

GDP and industrial productivity aren't the same thing, and China didn't remotely match Germany or the Soviet Union in industrial production in this period

Great mod. I would suggest to increase the economy of China they were on level with Russia and Germany. In 1938 Russia and Germany had a GDP of 350 B$ and China of 320 B$.
Thank you very much for your mod! :)

god

Thank you so much for the update this is genuinely a fantastic mod that is very well made

This mod is great, thanks for the update!

O M G yes - thank you!! :D

Updated for 1.12 By Blood Alone

I'd really like to try this mod, but it does not work on the current version.

plz update plz

How is it modifying the balance of the war ? The Reich is weaker I supose ?

Seems to crash the game with the latest patch. It is one of my fav mods so I hope you can patch it :D

I like this in theory, but in practice as there is less scope to build industry* industrial capacity for building need to be reduced (*started several games as Japan, but virtually every industry slot is taken at the beginning). Also seems to be no way to destroy and replace industry if for example you want to do something other than convert between civilian and military, like scrap one industry and increase oil storage.

Doesnt seem to work with Road to 56.

how to whin as germany on the eastern front when the soviets alone outproduce the axis

If you speak german i can give ya documentation with sources. It's about the us industrie compared to others. Sadly it does not include canada and such but germany, uk, usa, and japan. It's 8 hours long. So you can learn how it was. Cause you are not completlty wrong. Later the usa was way stronger..

Actually germany had a way bigger industrie as the USA at the beginning of the war;).. There are some interesting Documentations about. Just saying.

So the rebalance is not correct. Guess this is also the reason for all the negatives.

If you want it to make it correct, you need to give tech bonus to usa, cause they mass produced, and build up war industry within the last 3 years of the war. They increased their industrie output about the factor 10x and higher.

@impspy You can destroy buidings in the base game, but with this mod loaded, certainly for me, the bottom right 'x' isn't there

@ibriJira Feel free to use my mod, and thanks for givnig credit :)

Hello! I am currently developing 'The Second Great War' mod, for ultra WW2 immersiveness. I would love to integrate this mod, that is, if you permit me to do so. Credit will be given!

I would also like to echo the sentiment that build time for industry should probably be increased.

@saffonax You can absolutely destroy industry buildings. Mouse over one in the state view and in the bottom right hand corner will be an "x" that gives a "Remove the Building" tooltip.

There are errors on launch :
"State #178 does not have a category defined."
"history/states/621-China 18.txt:16: remove_building: missing building type"

Can you fix them ?

@saffonax macedonian flag

I love this historical re-balance !

But I too, too quickly find I've filled all the slots, built all the defences I think plausible, upgraded infrastructure to a plausible level and end up with spare capacity. Think build time could also be increased, perhaps not by too much. Also while you can switch between consumer industry and military, you can't switch between either and synth (chemical) industry, or demolish an industry to replace with synth.

@PreciousPig - awesome!!! Thank you!
