"No Assigned Factories"

[Livvvid]

I apologize in advance if this is a simple fix but i tried Googling this and couldnt find an answer.

Mid way through a Soviet Campaign. My mobilized and Anti-Air vehicles suddenly say "no assigned factories". Production has entirely stopped. When I try to assign factories its all greyed out. I've repaired all infrastructure, deleted the production line and added them back in, re-loaded a save and restarted the game. Nothing. Same issue. I havent encountered this one before so I have no idea.

Thanks for any help.

Its gray because you do not have enough military factories, build more .

[Maximus]

its gray because you are assining more factories than you own. unassign factories from other equipment or build more.

[Kettenkrad]

they probably got destroyed, taken over, etc. Build more factories

Let me guess, you lost a bunch of territory and mils with it.

yup. I just didnt know the game kept track of where the specific factories were that were dedicated to a certain line. I just thought it was a big pool and if you had the numbers to support what you alocated on the production line, you were good. But the game I guess treats it like "Okay we took the factories that make AA. Now you cant do anything until you take them back!".

This is realistic in a sense but also where is there a clear map toggle or something where I can track my factories and what exactly they are supporting?

The game does group MILs together as a pool in the way you think but then looks at your military production queue as just that, a queue in order of priority.

So the items you have at the top of the queue get assigned factories and resources first, while the ones at the bottom get these assigned last. If factories get bombed and are repairing, those show as red factories in your production nearer the bottom, above any greyed out factories that you don't yet have.

Any items you want to prioritise and always build should be at the top of the queue.
Items where you have a lower priority should be further down the queue.
Note you can add multiple lines for the same item. So if you want to allocate 10 factories to produce small arms always, you can add those at the top of the queue and if you want to use any new or surplus factories to also build small arms, you can add another line for small arms at the bottom and add factories to that, which will be greyed out until you have those factories. You can change priorities by simply dragging the line up or down the queue to where you want it.

Factories can be affected by whether they are your own core factories, from puppets (puppet level affects factories you get), from annexed non-core territory (affected by compliance with LaR) from land you occupied but may or may not get in the peace deal, etc (losing the factories after the peace deal).

I wish they kept track of them in the way that you say. Simply re prioritize your production.

I see you figured out the reason why it happened. When I notice it happen the important equipment I move to the top of the list and then if I have to I will move the low priority stuff to the bottom and deselect factories in order to put factories into the equipment that I desperately need.
