@MasterOfGrey I can mark the Vanilla prestige goods with (V) in the document. Hope this helps.
W4RPER  [author] 44 minutes ago 
@Sig650 Yes, although the companies don't have any of the buildings added by Morgenröte.

Ok, true, however, this list requires someone to be familiar with all possible vanilla prestige goods to make certain judgements. I didn't even realise until recently this added prestige goods...

It would be amazing to have a pinned discussion post to identify just the NEW prestige goods added by the mod.

i.e.
- Ammunition (2 New):
-> Mauser
-> Remington
- Small Arms (0 New)
- Wine (1 New):
-> Mediterranean Wine

The goal is so that someone can quickly get a handle on whether they have multiple mods competing for the 3 prestige good slots per good or not.

Is this compatible with Morgenröte?

@flardamar Actually yes you're right I believe it's the Ultra Historical Politics mod that does this, my bad.
W4RPER  [author] Aug 3 @ 6:43pm 
@force200 Historically, there were multiple attempts to merge the railway systems of the different German states, but they always fell through due to the monarchs not willing to give up their state held railways. After Germany was forced into a republic after WW1, all the monarchs lost their powers and the merger finally went through in the early 1920s.

TLDR: Monarchies stopped the merger from happening.
force200 Aug 3 @ 1:49pm 
Why does the Deutsche Reichsbahn JE require not having Monarchy?
flardarmar  [author] Aug 3 @ 12:30pm 
@radwilly1 do you have any other sources of private construction allocation, or do you use another mod that increases changes laws? It shouldn't get to 100%, 75%+10/15% depending on the bank is not 100%
radwilly1 Aug 3 @ 12:14pm 
@flardamar I'm having an issue with government construction while having a bank. It adds 10% private construction allocation, but since I have Laissez-faire I have 90% allocation already, meaning it goes to 100%. This works fine when you have more construction than the investment pool can utilize, but if you start to have insufficient construction for investment pool then all government buildings will stay queued and only private construction will work.

MasterOfGrey Aug 3 @ 7:39am 
Could you add a list of new prestige goods you add with this mod somewhere? With the limit on prestige goods at the moment, it’s valuable information for people to be able to see and know what mods are filling up the limit.
Mr.Wolf ♔ Jul 31 @ 12:13pm 
@W4RPER Understood, i would definitely recommend changing it to that name so it makes sense within the game
W4RPER  [author] Jul 30 @ 11:08pm 
@69yoloswagmaster420 Yea, that'll do it lol. I got the same Issues when doing World Conqueror runs. My advice is to just avoid the company list as the lag from other sources is already incredibly high. Adding a small - medium amount from opening the list is incredibly painful.
I know this isn't satisfying, but its what I do to not torture my machine even more D:
W4RPER  [author] Jul 30 @ 11:04pm 
@Mr.Wolf We used that name due to the oldest Logo available having it in the name. From what we found in the sources, Roshen is the name of the parent company, only giving the name Roshen to the factory officially in 2009.

We can change the name to "Demiivka Steam Chocolate and Candy Factory" as that was the name used before becoming the Karl Marx Kyiv Confectionery Factory.
Mr.Wolf ♔ Jul 30 @ 8:22pm 
Can you change the name of Karl Marx confectionery to Roshen Kyiv Confectionery Factory? The name Karl Marx was only put during the Soviet Union, and you don't need to form that country to have that company
69yoloswagmaster420 Jul 30 @ 7:14pm 
im just having issues cause im doing a game where i start with the whole world conquered and the list keep lagging me so its not a common issue
W4RPER  [author] Jul 30 @ 5:52pm 
@69yoloswagmaster420 The mod shouldn't impact performance all that much when comparing it to other mods. The only lag that should occur happens when opening the company tab.

We would have to cut a majority of companies for a condensed version. The base game currently has a little over 200 companies. Our mod adds another 600. If we did create a version that cut the modded companies down to around 200 on top of the vanilla 200, the initial lag would be reduced a little, but not significantly. At best, this would save around 3-5 seconds whenever opening the company tab (judging by the performance of my old laptop).
69yoloswagmaster420 Jul 29 @ 6:24pm 
i know most people ask for more companies but is there a condensed version for those with bad pcs
W4RPER  [author] Jul 29 @ 1:35pm 
@killeraap Thank you!
killeraap Jul 29 @ 1:12am 
Nice mod, my dudes! Insane how fast you update it to new patches. It really adds a lot of gameplay variety and replayability for me, especially now companies are actually usefull and fun. Can't really play the game without this anymore. All I want to say is, keep up the good work!
W4RPER  [author] Jul 28 @ 9:59am 
@Tecuatl This is an Issue with the balancing of the base game. I also thought that it was kind of silly. We looked into lowering the prestige certain prestige goods grant, but the currently implemented values are already the minimum values. We can only increase them.
Tecuatl Jul 28 @ 8:16am 
I have noticed this makes unifying Italy as Two Sicilies way harder because Sardinia-Piedmont goes straight for the prestige Mediterranean Wine which gives them +72 prestige along with +15% prestige from the company bonus, which is enough to rocket them into a Major Power all on its own, very early in the game. I don't know if this one wine export should give as much as prestige as a huge fleet of battleships!
W4RPER  [author] Jul 27 @ 11:10am 
@Macgyver You only need Dynamite and 5 sulfur levels in the state of Victoria. Other than that the company must only be able to buy 5 total buildings to be established. Only thing I can think of is that you either didn't have dynamite or didn't have enough non-company owned buildings.
flardarmar  [author] Jul 27 @ 10:27am 
@Macgyver could you tell us what doesn't work?
Macgyver Jul 27 @ 10:14am 
Consolidated Zinc in Australia doesnt work.
kingdomadvanced Jul 25 @ 5:39am 
@W4RPER Thank you for the detailed response and for pinning the Journal entry companies!
W4RPER  [author] Jul 24 @ 6:32pm 
@kingdomadvanced I've made sure to name the JE companies in our patch notes. Current JE companies are US Steel (US), Imperial Chemical Industries (UK), IG Farben & Deutsche Reichsbahn (Germany) and the 4 Zaibatsus (Japan).

Slotting in any one of the historical companies included in the merger that led to the JE companies will show you the JE under Potential Journal Entries. If the conditions there are met, the journal entry will activate and complete after after a few years of the related companies being prosperous.
kingdomadvanced Jul 24 @ 3:55pm 
Love your mod! I'd be really interested to know what the formable companies are and which companies you need to activate the JE, especially for Germany. Thank you very much!
W4RPER  [author] Jul 24 @ 8:31am 
@gamecho having Carnegie Steel company OR any of the other steel companies that were merged into US Steel, the Journal will become visible under "potential journal entries".

gamecho Jul 24 @ 5:12am 
How can I activate the company journal? US Steel is not visible anywhere
W4RPER  [author] Jul 23 @ 2:37pm 
@DailyLithium We may add them to the document the next time we do a major overhaul of each company.
DailyLithium Jul 23 @ 6:18am 
It'd be nice if the spreadsheet told us which companies gave which prestige goods.
W4RPER  [author] Jul 22 @ 2:21am 
@Bujakaa It should be, but Journal Entries related to companies will not get added until a new playthrough gets started.

@¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We got a specific balancing sheet that you can look at when going to the company wishlist. We might make changes in the future, but right now we are focused on new content.

@Broeckelmann It should only cause lag when opening the Company tab as it has to load all of the possible companies when you do. This lag is very dependent on the strength of your machine though. Otherwise there should not be any additional lag.
Broeckelmann Jul 21 @ 12:43pm 
Is it just me or does this cause more lag?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Jul 21 @ 9:50am 
Very good mod - just a few things to make it great : Please change random values like +4% or +8% to 5% or 10%, it just looks goofy and hurts my autism. And try to find better Symboles for your new prestige goods - some look to goofy aswell. Also i feel like some Companies could get moved down the tech tree a litttle, feels unnessarly restrictive and almost worthless to have them so late. Otherwise i really enjoi your work - thanks
Bujakaa Jul 21 @ 1:02am 
Could not find info. Is this save game compatible?
Archscientist K Jul 19 @ 6:28pm 
@flardarmar Transportation may suffer from similar issues, actually. I noticed it can also be prestige.
Archscientist K Jul 19 @ 6:23pm 
@flardarmar Well, yeah... There can be brands for lots of things. I just don't think electricity can really be one. It feels weird and inconsistent with how prestige goods work. No Tools Workshop is buying prestige steel because it's a "brand". They buy it more because it's better quality. Hence the throughput bonus for using it in a building. Electricity may also be a consumer good, but it's used literaly everywhere. Which, not only could be really OP as a prestige good, but it also doesn't make sense why my steel factories are doing better because of a specific brand of electricity lol
Besides, other mods like to rework electricity or even just add it to urban centers and whatnot. Making it so I can have 2 types of electricity: generic and prestige. Prestige somehow being better...
W4RPER  [author] Jul 19 @ 6:14pm 
@Floofy Woofie We had one, but had to remove it due to the 3 prestige good per base good limit. We will reintroduce it once the limit gets increased. We granted Japan warships and airplanes instead as those were more appropriate.
Floofy Woofie Jul 19 @ 3:17pm 
Can we get a Japanese car prestige good? There are a ton with planes but I would love one just for cars because the first jap automobile was like 1907!
Bradeurs Jul 19 @ 6:30am 
@Flardarmar yeah I noticed that with american express, but what I mean is that it does start with it but the Trade Rights button in the company panel shows it as being inactive despite the fact it does start with the building - and pressing it to activate it (if you didnt notice it being active if youre dumb like me) actually removes the building type from the company and you get stuck with the cooldown before you can activate it again, and I assume that means you have to pay the company charter for it the second time around
flardarmar  [author] Jul 19 @ 6:18am 
@Bradeurs some banks do indeed start with trade centers as a primary building, turning it off again, will allow them to build trade centers again
Bradeurs Jul 19 @ 6:09am 
Not sure if this is a possible fix or not but it looks like banks are supposed to start with trade rights but its possible, by attempting to activate trade rights, to disable it and lose that benefit
flardarmar  [author] Jul 19 @ 5:13am 
@Markvs sadly there are limitations currently with the amount of prestige goods that we can add. There is a limit of 3 prestige goods per good, regardless of vanilla + modded. We do consider a compatch a possibility, but time is a issue currently.
Markvs Jul 19 @ 5:09am 
perhaps a huge ask but maybe true compatibility between this and Tech and Res? Due to the buildings added many of these companies become not very viable later on. Only a slight peeve though, excellent mod; though some of the prestige goods feel as if theyre not really in character as to how theyre used in base game. Such as John Deere just producing "Tractors" rather than specifically "Deere Tractors". Or Glass Jars being a variant of "Glass" rather than Porcelain as itll result in a bizarre input good for construction.
flardarmar  [author] Jul 18 @ 9:06am 
@Archscientist K electricity and transportation are also consumer goods and with the prestige good on these they get "bought" more often compared to other goods such as coal(used as heating*)
flardarmar  [author] Jul 18 @ 9:02am 
@Archscientist K well prestige is not always "better", there are many famous brands even nowadays that are overpriced for what they offer, but people still buy them and feel better
Archscientist K Jul 18 @ 8:14am 
Minor thing: maybe eletricity shouldn't have a prestige good and electricity companies which have them could have a better prospretity bonus instead. I don't think it makes sense to have "special" electricity which improves throughput and SoL when used... Electricity is just electricity no matter where it comes from. It can be cheaper and more abundant, but not "better" lol
It just feels a bit weird to me. And the good also doesn't get the trade advantage that prestige goods have, since you can't really trade it. I think it would feel better and more immersive if the bonus went for the company in some way instead.
W4RPER  [author] Jul 17 @ 4:43am 
@GoatMutt Bethlehem Steel already has refined Steel. Will add it to Chongqing Iron and Steel with the next update though.
