Production Licenses Possible

Description
Production licensing has never been made widely available. Only Romania and the Netherlands have focuses that make licenses easier to purchase.

This mod makes two changes:

Difference in technology -19
To license current tech, making it easier for nations with trade relations or shared ideology to trade technology.

Opinion bonus increased to +30
To give puppets and faction members access to more technology (50 bonus in total).
Other nations can also ask for designs sooner, when this is added to the +5 bonus for each year after the technology date.



I've tried to avoid incompatibility with mods that replace the defines file by putting this high in the load order.



The AI already produces tank varients to purchase but air/naval aren't worth licensing. Here are some mods to correct that (they all have great compatibility):

Real Aircraft Mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1644541791
- unique planes for all the major nations

Spawn Historical Battleships (allies) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1794786185
- options to license modern ships from the UK and USA mid-late game (and to balance the Allies against Japanese Super Heavies)

Convertable Pre-Dreadnoughts https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1777023749
- useful for smaller naval powers to modernise their navy

After the Naval Race (1.7) https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1846040721
- creates more ships to convert (maintains naval balance between nations)

iirc copying or replacing an important module basically clones the license into normal technology

Can there be a thing where say I am playing as Germany and I want to license a tank from Czechoslovakia and when I annex them later in 1938, the license dissapears not letting you to continue producing what you licensed from them. Can you make it where the license DOES NOT dissapear letting us to continue producing what we licensed?

can you add to the mod that licenses cost less civilian factories? For example, if you want to license a 1940 plane from Germany it cost 6 civilian factories.

Dang it, the A.I. never uses them.

@Frank-2, Undead High Officer No, its a very simple mod. Didn't touch the AI at all.

Does this allow the A.I. to License?
