PEC+Morgenröte Compatch

The changes PEC made to the PMs for automotive industries break Morgenröte's racing-related content.

@EAR123: Thanks! fixed those issues now.

Couple of bugs that I found:

-Seems like "pec_technologies.txt" didn't get updated to the 1.12 one with the new database prefixes
-"manzoni_pm_rotary_presses" is missing the "REPLACE_OR_CREATE:" prefix
-"popneed_pec_insurance" is missing a ":" after the prefix

Also in the launcher it doesn't detect the PEC dependency correctly and gives an error that PEC is missing even when its not.

Very minor thing I've noticed: changing the tourism tech to the PEC version made it so you can't get the Luna Park from your architect. I think you should probably adapt the original MR tech instead of using the PEC version. To avoid any bugs like this

I thought about patching PDT and the PDT+MR patch with PEC and this patch myself, but I don't know what I'm doing and couldn't decide on how to do it, but that could be one way to do it lol

Music seems to never be in enough demand even for 1 level of an Opera House to be viable. I've never played MR without Pop Demand Tweak, so I don't know how it is with "Vanilla" MR, but maybe PEC gives too many alternatives for Music to be viable? I'm not sure what you could do about that, but thought I should share

Glad to contribute o7

@Archscientist K thanks for the feedback. will look into making a new version when I can

I was looking at the files from this patch to try and make some adjustments to solve the issue with JE I mentioned before, and it seems like there's a lot more where the mods conflict.
MR simply has way too many JE, events and interactions with its publishing industries that aren't accounted for yet with this patch alone. It might be easier to change the approach from this patch: you could use the MR publishing building, techs and PMs as a baseline and adjust them to fit with PEC (with the new media good and workforce numbers, etc.) instead of the other way around like this patch tries to do. That way, a lot of MR would more easily click into place and work with everything, which would be easier than just diving deep into MR files to try and change every minute interaction to fit with the PEC building (like I've been trying to do a bit lmao).

Just a suggestion. Playing with both mods makes the game perfect for me, so I really want this patch to work out ^^

It seems some events and JE from MR aren't really working properly sometimes. The "Rising of the Publishing Industry" group of JE (you can see them in the potential JE tab), for example, seems to be looking for the original ME Publishing Industry buildings instead of the ones from PEC, preventing them from firing. I don't remember them ever being too important, but you may want to check them out. Even other JE and events related to the MR buildings if you wish to improve compatibility even more.
