Rebalanced XP Design Costs

In 1 collection by joris327

Description
This mod lowers the design cost of divisions, planes, tanks, ships and other equipment.
The idea is to lower the amount of time waiting to get enough xp, make it easier to field many different types of equipment and be able to experiment more with your designs without making the "needing xp for upgrades" mechanic obsolete.

Updated for version 1.15.*/Kaiser/gotterdammerung.
Not achievement compatible.
(Should be) Save compatible.
Works with any dlc combination.


Click here for the version compatible with Ultimate Tech Tree : New Horizons.

Changes:
Army XP:
- Division batallion add/change/remove cost set to 1 from 5.
- Division support company add/change/remove cost set to 1 from 10.
- Division add regiment cost set to 0 from 20. (eg. when adding cavalry to an infantry division it used to cost 25 xp now just 1).
- Armoured car upgrade cost set to 2 from 10+(level*5).
With No Step Back:
- All tank modules that used to cost 2 xp now cost 1.
- All tank modules that used to cost more than 2 xp now cost 2.
- Tank engine and armour points are now free.
- Modules that used to cost 1 still cost 1.
- Mechanized upgrade cost set to 2 from 10+(level*5).
Without No Step Back:
- Tank Upgrades set to 2 XP per level from 10+(level*5).

Naval XP:
With Man The Guns:
- Module add cost set to 2 from 5.
- Module replace cost (to another module type) set to 3 from 6.
- Module convert cost (to same module type) set to 1 from 3.
- Module remove cost is still 1.
- Armour Upgrades set to 3 as these affect the whole ship.
Without Man The Guns:
- Ship Upgrades set to 4 XP per level from 25+(level*5).

Air XP:
With By Blood Alone:
- All plane modules that used to cost 2 xp now cost 1.
- All plane modules that used to cost more than 2 xp now cost 2.
- Modules that used to cost 1 still cost 1.
- Engines cost 1 xp when upgrading to same engine count (e.g. 1 engine to 1 engine).
- Engines cost 3 xp when upgrading to different engine count (e.g. 1 engine to 2 engines).
Without By Blood Alone:
- Plane Upgrades set to 2 XP per level from 25+(level*5).


Mod Compatibility:
General Rules:
- Not compatible with mods that also change any stats of all plane & tank modules' or XP costs in general.
- Should be fine with mods that change XP generation.

Verified Compatibility:
- The Road to 56
- Kaiserreich
- Kaiserredux
- Compatible with my "Conversion/Refit Costs Rebalanced" mod.

This mod is awesome! But the part about changing the Industrial Organisation's DESIGN_TEAM_CHANGE_XP_COST isn't working. I've tried other values, but none have taken effect. When I set it to 0, I can't upgrade it to a new one.

yep I feel that it is quite OP too. Need options for the players or reduce it a little bit.

awesome to see you keeping this updated, thank you

Could you make a varsion that only makes division design cheaper? This feels a bit too OP.. :)

@joris327 holy you are an absolute legend, thanks man!

@Max Power I took about 45 minutes and made a version for ultimate tech tree here .

Enjoy.

This mod has compatibility issues with Ultimate Tech Horizon, techs added by that mod don't exist with this mod (also plane engines are stuck at 0 km/h);
Other than that inconvenience, this mod works great and is exactly what I'm looking for (would be even better with compatibility with UTH)

@Bridger While making the mod I was wondering whether I was making it too cheap, but since I tend to play with lots of different templates and brigade types the convenience factor took over.

Thanks for your comment!

Love this, thanks! I edited the Army XP levels a tad for my own personal preference (New Brigade Type: 25 --> 5, Support company: 10 --> 2, Add/Remove Brigade 5 --> 1).

Your default is a little too cheap IMHO.
