Will you consider updating?

There doesn't appear to be any conflict between this mod and AAT.

Industry design companies work as they did before.

MIOs have replaced this mod's equipment designers.

I don't see much of a reason to make the equipment design companies work, since the MIOs already grant multitude of buffs.

@hasan.kanderi no this only works for countries that use the generic focus tree. Pretty sure Germany's is way better than this one anyway.

sorry i figured it out is there a way to use it for germany

@hasan.kanderi it was already updated the night before your comment. Is there a problem with the current version that you can specify?

update

From my own testing it still works with 1.12.5, but I only tested a few countries, not sure how it is with the newly added nations.

@SMGJohn from the patch notes I've read there shouldn't be issues if you force execute it. As for direct testing I need time to get back to HOI4.

I cannot understand why NO ONE makes any design company mod, does this still work for 1.12.x?

Mod has been updated!

Maybe not adding new designer options for countries who don't have them, as you said it can mess things up for those who have designers locked behind focuses and it can shake up intended balance or game mechanics put there by the developers. Still, it would be lovely if designers could be applied retroactively. Thanks for your answer :)

@Chalseu Off the top of my head I'm not sure how that can be accomplished without heavy scripting which may be too much effort. Additionally, after having gone through several major focus trees, I'm not sure I'm keen on letting Generic designers work with majors because it interacts strangely with Focus-locked/restricted designers.

Do you plan to create a way for desginers to apply to already researched equipment ?

As Germany, I can already produce 1936 Destroyers and Cruiser hulls, but there's no way to get a designer to give them bonuses, because they are already researched at game start. Sometimes it feels like a curse to have 1936 hulls researched at game start ...

already using them :) be glad to see this one return when it does

@bgq97 Hi, thanks for alerting me to the game patch. Based on the patch notes there's been a lot of overhaul including modifiers and country tag names which this mod interacts with, it will take a long time to study and make this one back to working order. In the mean time my other two mods have been verified to work with v1.9.* you are welcome to check them out. (All Equipment Variants and Better Generic Names)

update!\

reuniting the ottomen empire never felt so good. very nice
