Hello! I'm a fellow mod maker, you can check me mods in my profile.
I was wondering if maybe I could contact you to ask something regarding your mod? Is there any Discord I can join or any user I could contact you?
Thanks in advance, and love ya mods!

@Beyond Disbelief What negreaflorin687 is referring to is the "Rapid Defense Rollout" focus. Of which only takes 315 days to complete less than a year if bee lined. This adds lv8 forts and coastal forts around the whole nation (big or small). This is super OP and broken to fight against as a major but even far more so as a minor vs a minor at any date. I get the idea for the focus but I think you need to super nerf it or make it very hard too get to very late game. Just my 2 cents.

@KrabTheos

Thanks. You can try sending it to me@beyonddisbelief.com or publish it as a submod. The first option I probably won’t get to it for a while until the next time I update. The second option you can maintain control over the localization, and it’s pretty common for localization mods to be separated published as a submod.

Hi, I've translated your mod into Spanish, including descriptions for the focuses. If you're interested in adding it to your mod so that the Spanish version is also available, let me know and I'll send you the file.

i am not sure what year it was, but it was most likely 1938-1940
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Aug 30, 2024 @ 12:52pm 
@negreaflorin687 Can you let me know what year in the game and what fort levels are you seeing so I can evaluate the best way to approach it?

IIRC the way I set it up the two foci only add a few levels immediately, the rest are a result of quasi-AI priority to building forts over time. I feel a player-controlled Benelux need that to be able to have a chance to survive, and IIRC they should be in-line with the Czech instant forts.

If the issue is with the instant forts I'm not fully sure what to do. But if the issue is they're hitting level 7-10 forts too soon then I can look into reducing the AI build queue.
negreaflorin687 Aug 28, 2024 @ 9:58am 
can you please remove or nerf the fortifications focuses? they are very powerful and every time i play i see the benelux region just filled to the brim with forts and its pretty annoying, maybe add some buffs to building forts or make only 1 fort spawn in the capital?
idk its just annoying having to fight fort spamming belgium because they did a couple short focuses
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Aug 13, 2024 @ 5:30pm 
@GeneralFur it should as long as the other mod doesn't do anything with the generic tree.
GeneralFur Aug 10, 2024 @ 2:37pm 
Is this mod compatible with other mods, such as "Random Country Placement", since the countries all get the basic focus tree
FallingDrop Jul 26, 2024 @ 12:15pm 
You know it's a good mod when I can do a wc as bhutan
anonymous Jun 17, 2024 @ 11:58pm 
I think adding an autonomy system(a path for obedience and a path for freedom both in a peaceful or violent way) for puppet nations like dutch east indies and British Malaya may be a good addition
anonymous Jun 17, 2024 @ 8:39pm 
Hey author, is this compatible with the south america DLC, are their any planned new additions?
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Mar 17, 2024 @ 12:25pm 
@LimitedCorner they overhauled a lot of things that i don't have time to relearn. I tried my best to do a quick update via DiffMerge. Please let me know if anything stopped working.
LimitedCorner Mar 10, 2024 @ 1:48am 
pls update
Wintermist Dec 30, 2023 @ 10:37am 
LOL

@Wintermist The daily democratic support likely comes from "political momentum" mechanic that I created as described in the description. It will run out of steam eventually.

As for Socialism, Isolationism, Supreme Leader - that's just called North Korea, Chairman Kim.
Wintermist Dec 27, 2023 @ 10:50am 
So, like... ended up with a democratic dictator lol... no elections, but gives daily democratic support. This combo was probably not meant to be. Socialism, Isolationism, Supreme Leader
Shouravik Nov 24, 2023 @ 10:30am 
Literally an amazing mod.
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Nov 7, 2023 @ 12:17pm 
I did understand what you mean, but the game doesn’t mechanically differentiate them, it would require a whole sub-ideology overhaul to give sub-ideology types different flavors. If there is another mod out there that does the core framework for that, I’d be happy to look into creating compatibility for it.
OzkanOzzz Nov 1, 2023 @ 9:17am 
I didn't mean expanding ideologies dude. I meant the side ideologies. Anarchism is a side ideology of the Non-Aligned ideology . In game only Aragon has that ideology. With an alternate path within the non-aligned path . You get it right?
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Oct 31, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
@Alperen7727 I'm not sure what do you mean? Expanding ideologies is beyond the scope of this mod, which is just a replacement for the Generic Focus Tree.
OzkanOzzz Oct 25, 2023 @ 10:29am 
hello.do you have any plans for sub ideologies such as anarchism?
I AM THE HYPE Oct 23, 2023 @ 12:52pm 
No worries, the base game MIOs works fine , it just that the one you could get from your two mods didn't appear, and not knowing if it was supposed to or not, i choose to report this to you just in case.

Saddly i think MIO's are their own thing different from the Dis.Comp, since they are closer to a general in terms of mechanics . (Which would also explain why your mods works as intended for the Dis.Comp under "Industrial Complex", as it didn't become a MIO category like the rest).

(Also, thanks for the time you are giving to this silly problem of mine :jobsim_mug: :jobsim_donut: )
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Oct 23, 2023 @ 12:21pm 
@Le Grand Pope! Okay, I don't have AAT but I looked at the information about MIOs

I don't see any reason this mod would affect MIOs, but you can consider disabling my other mod "Better Design Companies" to see if that helps.

I don't know if MIOs code is smart enough to adapt to custom design companies or if I would have to overhaul the other mod entirely and I have no plans to look into AAT in the near future.
I AM THE HYPE Oct 23, 2023 @ 11:27am 
Not Finland but *technically* Indonesia (more acurately Indonesia that absorbed Malaysia); i did a quick test however to try and see if it also happened with a normal minor (Venezuela), finish the first the first focus for the Navy, and it didn't unlock the associated Company.

'Going to check something real quick, as i want to make sure that another mod isn't repsonsible for this ( it only ad a single Company, but just in case...)
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Oct 23, 2023 @ 10:59am 
@Le Grande Pope! I just took another look at the files. Are you playing by Finland by chance?

There shouldn't be any conflict with vanilla design companies or with this mod since the design companies aspect of this mod only activates if my other mod is ALSO activated.

However, I realized Finland got a national focus now so my previous historical design company changes for them in the other mod is obsolete, so I will be updating a fix for that.
I AM THE HYPE Oct 22, 2023 @ 11:53am 
Oh sorry, should have put this with my comment:

What's is happening is that the Design Companies (or Military Industrial Complex in A.A.T) don't seem to appear in the list of MIO's that you can choose from, but it work as expected for thoses related to Indutrial Complex( probably because it is using the base Designer system, not the A.A.T one.)

I'm sadly not sure which one could be causing this: if the Companies you can unlock in the tree depend on "Better Design Companies", then it is the more likely cause.

(Sorry for bothering you with this, it's not breaking the game but i prefer report this just in case.)
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Oct 22, 2023 @ 10:03am 
@Le Grande Pope! Hi, do you think its a conflict with "Better Generic Focus Tree" mod or with "Better Design Companies"?

A little surprised if it is this mod specifically. I won't have time for a full play through in the near future, can you give me a bit more details on the conflict so I can look into the best way to fix it?
I AM THE HYPE Oct 22, 2023 @ 9:21am 
it seems to work fine, except for the Design Companies with Arms Against Tyranny (with the notable exception of Industrial Concern).
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Oct 13, 2023 @ 4:05pm 
@Alchemist5588 should work now. Please let me know if you run into any issues.
Krement Oct 10, 2023 @ 11:13pm 
When will be update to the version 1.13.1?
peggleorian Sep 6, 2023 @ 12:17pm 
add a monarchy because im a nerd who thinks every country should have a monarchist path
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Jul 28, 2023 @ 9:33pm 
@Lawenda should be fixed now.
Lamantha Jul 22, 2023 @ 2:47pm 
the issue with wrong factory count checking is still there :<
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Jun 30, 2023 @ 2:08am 
@I'm him i'd like to know more about your mod.
ReboiVista Jun 30, 2023 @ 12:48am 
Hey, I was just wondering if I could use your focus tree as a placeholder for my own mod? I'll credit you as I know how time-consuming making focus trees can be.
Mertix_CZ Jun 3, 2023 @ 5:11am 
Is it compatibile with rt56?
agentv9 May 26, 2023 @ 2:03pm 
alrighty thanks :D will use this tree for a while probably because it looks good and is alot better than the vanilla generic lol, ill add a link here on my mods page with credit when i put the update with it on steam, and thanks for the tips ill def use those when planning focus trees for the countries in my mod
Beyond Disbelief  [author] May 26, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
@agentv9 I don't mind if you credit me/this mod with a link, though keep in mind this mod might need to be updated in particular with regards to the air design overhaul. Depending on the nature of your mod it might be a bit overwhelming though.

As for how to design your own, I first started with the concept of wanting government structures to be more modular and "shapeable" through focus branches. I plotted out a lot of ideas on excel spread sheet first - it doesn't have to be excel, but the ability to 2-dimensionally move ideas around was convenient for organizing and Excel is a software I already had and not need to pay for a dedicated flow chart app to organize.

It went through a lot of conceptual revisions as I rearranged things. I did not start with any of the detailed code/mechanics until I have 95% of the tree fleshed out. The actual mechanics all got coded in at the end. This was how I maintained the thematic flavor and progression I wanted.
agentv9 May 26, 2023 @ 1:02pm 
could i use this focus tree in my mod with credit? if not could you point me towards how to make a good generic tree? im new to making trees so i dont really know how to make a good one
Lamantha Apr 30, 2023 @ 10:35pm 
BGFT or RCP?
Flags GBFT as created for 1.11.x, not rcp though
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Apr 30, 2023 @ 8:21am 
That sounds rather unusual unless they overhauled modding commands/conditions (seems highly unlikely) checking number of factories shouldn't break between patches and shouldn't interfere between mods. There's the off chance that another mod is using the same focus with same internal name that's overriding the conditions, but the latest version of this mod I specifically overhauled all the internal names to ensure their unniqueness and ensure better compatibility with other mods.

Did you skip a version in your play through? I wonder if its possible that you never downloaded the latest version of this mod and if you skipped a game version this mod is flagged as outdated and steam never downloaded the latest version of the mod for you.
Lamantha Apr 30, 2023 @ 2:54am 
same for technology sharing, the factory count checker doesn't work(I'm using RCP, not sure if it could collide)
Lamantha Apr 29, 2023 @ 3:28pm 
aight actually Extra Research Slot II is broken, I have 282 factories yet it says I don't have more than 50 :P
Lamantha Apr 29, 2023 @ 8:15am 
I mean it's not broken
Beyond Disbelief  [author] Apr 29, 2023 @ 6:31am 
@Lawenda if you don't mind missing out on the new air doctrine stuff you should be able to force enable it in the launcher without issues. When I find time my priority would be to update my CK3 mod first.
Lamantha Apr 29, 2023 @ 3:08am 
Planning on updating it in the summer mb?
