Is there any way to produce Alloys and Aluminum at the same time without having to micromanage each industry?

Do you plan to make more changes to the construction sector? I believe it's one of the few you haven't changed much. If that's in your plans, check out the "More Construction Variety" mod; I hope it can help give you some direction or inspiration. Thank you for this wonderful mod.

@Mattia10 Thanks for the compatibility! Can you check my second comment and tell me what you think of my suggestions?

Hi, I'm experiencing a late game issue where political parties are unable to gain legitimacy due to interest groups and their differing opinions on the new laws added through the mod. Is there a recommended way around this? For clarity I was running it with the Hail Columbia mod, and I know that does mess with the interest groups as well

@Mattia10 Thank you very much.

Good job on making it compatible to BPM! you can remove the link on the compatch so that people dont use it anymore(it probably will make their games crash or something)

@Baracs
In next Tech & Res update I'll remove tourism tech with its +1 company, but I'll also move from -1 to 0, from 0 to +1 etc... the companies added by development modifier.
In this way poorest countries should research just one tech, not two, to have one company slot.

@Nihonjin
Hi! That is a localization bug, you should also be at least a partially developed country.

@Lionion
Hi, the reason is that technology modifiers simply can't be activated or deactivated via rules. However, with the rule disabled, events and decisions should never appear.

To resolve this in future updates, when someone discover decolonization and the rule is disabled, they'll be granted a modifier with -0.5 liberty desire to counterbalance the tech.

This won't be done for the penalty in transnational activism tech, since it's a slight 0.25 in late game.

Even with decolonization turned off, techs give subjects +0.75 increased liberty desire which is impossible to counterbalance using vanilla means. Either the game rule doesn't do anything, or this is an oversight.

Hello, the "Old Progressive Ideologies" Journal Entry isn't working - I researched Human Rights but it didn't complete.

@Mattia10
Thanks for the fast answer. Now I know at least what to do.

The "-1 Company" stil is a very hard modifier. Escpecially with the new 1.9 game around companies. Perhaps "-1 Companie Charta" or something like that would also be an option?

@Baracs
Hi, the development modifiers are based on GDP per capita.
To advance to the second level, you need at least 0.65 GDP per capita.
To advance to the third level, where the -1 company is removed, you need at least 1.3 GDP per capita, which isn't that high unless you're starting from very poor countries like China or Africa.

How can I get rid of the permanent modifier "Poor Country". The "-1 Companie" is really hard and as far as I've seen the next stage still has this.
But most importantly I don't know how to change it. SoL couldn't be the trigger because another Country has 8 SoL and I have 8,8 SoL and they are "Developing Country".

So how do I get rid of this modifier or how I can manage it?

Okay, thank you for the clarification!

@Kevin McScrooge
Hi! If you are playing with this version, it's not needed. If you are playing with old legacy version, it is needed.

Is the Better Politics Mod/Tech&Res compatibility patch still needed?

Tier 3 nations (tech wise) are missing too many techs. In vanilla you start 5-6 techs behind, here you start 13 techs behind. That's a decade even further behind than in vanilla.

Losing a company slot is not fun and extremely punishing when they are already tech dependent, to lose a company slot out of nowhere is just enraging.

The best mod ! thank you !

No problem, hope to see it fixed soon so that this can be used in multiplayer without this being an issue.

And to follow up, with further testing it actually appears that you can stack the infamy reduction modifier so much from the second option that things that would normally cost infamy now reduce it, which completely breaks the balance of the game.

@Tookatee
Good to know, thank for the feedback!

@Proud Fascist
There is already up to date portuguese translation in desc.

And for balance purposes, you should probably not be able to stack the infamy generation reduction effect from choosing the second option. It should just extend the current time on the modifier.

As right now you can just spam start diplomatic plays on a bunch of irrelevant countries that'll call the UN to amass a massive infamy discount and then declare the war you want on the guy who you want to actually fight.

@Mattia10 No truce occurs between either country. It's just a free for all to keep redoing the event over and over.

portuguese translation 1.9 please

@Kevin McScrooge
Exactly, but Vic 3performance doesn't allow too many buildings without slowing the game. Not a good thing for a mod that goes beyond 1936. Some buildings and goods have already disappeared compared to the old version, and performance has improved, although not evident because now countries easily reach billions of GDP after 1970.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. If I get more of them wanting aluminium being produced simultaneously with alloys, I might go back to how it was before in next version.

I totally do understand, but I would much prefer to have the buildings for alloys/aluminum separated if your focus was on balance.

@Kevin McScrooge
Hi! There are 2 reasons why I decided to unify alloys/aluminium and plastic/rubber:

1. Realism.
Unlike wood and hardwood, alloys and aluminum PMs have little to do with each other. It seems strange to produce aluminium while reducing alloys output.

2. Balance.
Aluminium and Alloy PMs are not trivial. If aluminium could be produced simultaneously, it would be difficult for me to balance output, productivity, employment, and scaling with automation at the same time. If PM balance doesn't match consumption, you would still find yourself micromanaging to disable aluminium production methods in some buildings. Having PMs that cannot be activated simultaneously allows for much more freedom in balancing the ratio of alloys to aluminium produced for the country.

It's a bit frustrating that the primary production method for things like the alloy plant is either aluminum or alloys and cannot be both simultaneously like in previous versions.

@IcE - that works, thank you!!

@Tookatee
It should create a truce, probably some scope was wrong and it gave the truce to the attacked country and not to the attacking country.

Can you check if the attacked country has any truce with you?

Don't know if it's been flagged before, but there needs to be a mandatory truce between the two nations involved in the UN intervention event (ztr_un_event.3) if you select the first option to end the diplomatic play for the infamy reduction. As it is now you can just quickly farm infinite infamy reduction on tiny nations by always selecting that option and the instantly restarting the diplomatic play.

@梦回小白村
Yes, that is GDP per capita.

Does "country_gdp_per" mean GDP per capita?

@XxAngel1592xX
Thank you! The fact is that Ottoman Empire starts in the 1st demographic phase, where population, theoretically, increases and decreases. By the way, in the long run, you have a significant advantage.

all right thks, just a little weird like how the ottomans start with a 19.6m population with a projection of +61k pops per year and after 20 years were i dobled the gdp now i have only 16m with -40k per year but i guess yeah is more realistic, keep the good work , love from mexico

@XxAngel1592xX
Hi! No country is dying slowly for that modifier, which is useful to simulate pop growth after 1960. If their population is decreasing is just for unemployment or too low standard of living.

the +80% mortality in the early 19th century medicine modifier is a bug? some countries population are just dying slowly and the other ones just grow super slow too

the legacy version of T+R works
@nir lifhitz

all of my saves wont work now. i resubscribed but it still says tech and res not active

@11.11
Hi! Thank you for the feedback. I actually think I know what's causing it.
1. I gave the player a small bonus for demographics (the counter, if you're the player, applies -0.1 every year). I'll remove it in future patches, and in the early stages, it will actually become a penalty.
2. China, historically, burned up a lot of demographic potential with famine, poverty, and war during the first half of the 20th century. If controlled by the player, this doesn't happen.

To solve this, I could add an optional one-child policy law available only for China, or have the player always start from stage 2 if it's China.

Two questions:
1. in which demographic stage are you in 1960 as China?
2. How is your standard of living?

@梦回小白村
Yes, that is a localization error, you should have also at least partially developed modifier.

When the player is from China, the total population is difficult to control. This is because we always adopt the red system and can conduct rapid research, resulting in a long-term increase in the birth rate during the early stage of industrialization, while the death rate has decreased due to technological advancements. Now it is 1960, and my population has reached 1.5 billion. Currently, it has reached the construction limit and the number of unemployed people is still rising.

Greetings! I am unable to trigger the 'Old Progressive Ideologies' journal entry ​​after researching the 'Human Rights' technology​​.

I resubscribed and it didn't help.. might it be the compatibility with Morgenröte (or the compatibility mod?)

@nir lifshitz
Hi! Try to resubscribe the mod, since I didn't have this problem on my already started simulations.

It seems like the new update (25/8) crashes my save from yesterday.. the game says my saves are missing the mod (it is loaded)

awesome! ty for speedy answer :D

@🦈Lily🦈
Hi! No specific load order required but you could put Tech & Res after BPM to be 100% sure.
