This mod doesn't touch ports in any way.

I noticed that with this mod active, the AI really likes to construct a stupid amount of ports in a single state. this was a vanilla bug, but it was supposed to be fixed in 1.9.3, so I am wondering if maybe whatever they did to fix it was overwritten by this mod?

I see. I use your other mods, but not USU: usually it turbocharges growth too much and my performance decreases, but I like a lot new immigration system in Pop Adjustments

Thanks for flagging this as being missing from the description. It was recently included as a change:

"Vanilla values result in a much larger investment pool than a small country can reasonably use.
Additionally, the cutoff needs to be lower than the point where countries are able to obtain investment rights in other large economies to avoid ridiculous cases like Belgium owning a majority of USA's GDP [because of the advantage from the reinvestment multiplier]."

If you're using my other mods too the issue is probably related to some stuff in USU that hasn't been fully updated to meet the new balance.

Hi. When I enable this mode, I notice that Investment pool dividends multiplier for smaller economies get significantly reduced. Is it inteded to be so? Couldn't find info about it in the description. This decrease in investment seems to make AI countries do much worse economy wise

smarter ai was building almost only tools for me. The best thing to do is for your to stop subsidizing your ports. It seems to want to build what you subsidize to make you angry

This mod has no impact on AI building decisions

With Smarter Ai (1.9) AI seems to be building mostly ports and useless stuff like that. AI's GDP is not moving for 30 years that I tested. So maybe there's no compatibility

oh I see, sorry for misunderstanding there :D
it's all good bro, it was vanilla bug that got fixed, played with this mod and never had a problem since

But on your point, I haven’t been able to replicate the problem so all I can suggest is that you verify your game files.

Not you, I deleted the other guy who was all over the place.

nvm it's like we speaking different languages

Put comments on the correct mod.

but I guess it was vanilla issue, but it fixed itself when I disabled this mod so I thought it's a mod bug

I wasn't talking about this case btw, my queue was stuck not building anything for like 10 years

Simple solution: ignore the people 😎

In vanilla people complain that late game the private queue builds hundreds of useless buildings in states with no workforce to employ in them.

In the mod people complain when the private queue stops building because you have no jobseekers to employ in them…

There’s no winning.

maybe it was vanilla bug because something like that was mentioned in recent patchnote though :D

Okay yea unsub/resub worked. Thanks Steam for the jebait.

hey dude I noticed another bug
played with this and your private construction mod
after some time I noticed that there's no private construction happening despite having big investment pool
disabled PC mod, but it didn't change anything
disabled this mod while leaving PC mod on and everything works now

yeah took me 2 resubscribes to mod to fix trade centers not giving any trade capacity, works fine now

Ohhh, that was a result of one of the defines not being respected. This was the vanilla bug trade-off.

I think that particular define has been fixed in the 1.9 update, if you still notice the problem please let me know. They only fixed some of the vanilla define issues, but if the issue still occurs there may be better trade-offs to make now.

we talked about this on the 15th of may

This only affects dividend payouts to the government if you're in debt. I haven't heard of this being an issue at all?

Does this mod still have the issue with to high of a dividend payout

They're definitely doing it with the version saved on this end. It's possible steam didn't update your mods - you may need to unsub + resub to force it to update.

What the… alright, will check on that in a minite

Yep can confirm RE: trade centres. They weren't giving me trade cap, disabled this mod, and now they're fine.

Love your work

trade centers don't give trade capacity rn

The best place to connect with me is on the discord for the modding co-op: https://github.com/Victoria-3-Modding-Co-op
But we can connect on Steam if you don't use discord - my responses will be less timely though.

@MasterOfGrey I'm working on the "1000 and 1 company" mod specifically for Tech & Res in 1.9. Since I definitely need to change the economic component of at least the goods, can we contact up in Steam or somewhere else for cooperation?

You tell me.

Is this compatible with E&F?

So, 1.9 is right around the corner and I am excited to spend a chunk of time on modding and playing it. I've also just finished up with a very busy time in my life, and part of that is that I am currently unemployed.

So, since I have no job and I'm about to spend a chunk of time on modding when the update drops, I have now set up a Patreon on the off chance anyone would like to support me with a couple dollars. Link [patreon.com]

I will of course keep modding either way, but I would appreciate anything at all that people might be willing to send my way.

No, that's the problem.
The mod fixes the issue I deem to be the larger problem.
When the next update comes in a couple of weeks, things will change again.

is there a way to circumvent this issue?

There are some base game functions that are actually just broken at the moment.
As a result this mod currently trades off on a couple issues.
So like what you're seeing occasionally happens, to be able fix another issue that is much more problematic if it occurs later in the game.

The next patch to the base game should fix/change a lot of these things - and this will be updated accordingly.

For reasons that I don't quite get, since it shouldn't edit any of those changes, it makes my semi profitable buildings pay out dividends that are higher than the profit itself, causing it to downsize and instead loose money. Even when a building makes lots of profits I encounter situations where a Building refuses to pay anything into the cash reserves and instead pays everything out as government dividends. But I'm not sure why, I repeatedly tried it with and without the mod and the behaviour always occured only with this one.

This mod is primarily about the trade and goods modifications

I would like to see a light mode that excludes the price range and trade route system. The government dividend system is a very innovative and attractive system, but in the case of trade routes, there are cases where users have other modes that suit their tastes.

Yes, they do

Changing the price span seems like a massive, fundamental change to the game, maybe have a lite version of the mod?
Also do the trade changes increase overall trade volume/decrease convoy cost?

Makes sense - thanks for the info!

That depends a lot on how much AI economies grow - this makes the AI do a lot more intelligent trading and large trade volumes can cause lag towards the late game.
However, for at least the first ~50 years this one should cause the least lag of pretty much all of my mods.

Thanks a lot for this and other mods - much appreciated!

When you say this is a bit more lightweight than soft pop does that mean I can assume it has a similar relativly small performance impact? Thanks!

i guess thats the best option i got. thanks for the tips

Farms will downsize on their own if you can make profitable export industries out of higher-value goods.
If you run out of pops after that point, you're meant to be finding foreign investment opportunities. Go explore other wealth-building options that aren't just building factories, they exist.

even if you do all of that, if you can stop the aristocrats from investing in agriculture and be able to delete the farms they ve built after you enacted laissez faire, you will still run out of pops in around 1-2 years afterwards, and have to wait for research to be finished
