Description
Civilian Factory Resources
Softcapping civilian factory expansion

Overview
Civilian Factory Resources (CFR) is a mod that aims to add a soft limit to the number of civilian factories a country is able to use by introducing a resource input mechanic for civilian factories.

With CFR, civilian factories will require two input resources: steel and chromium. Steel was chosen since it seemed pretty obvious to for both roleplay/realism and gameplay reasons due to its abundance. Chromium was chosen partially because it is a component of stainless steel, but primarily because the uses for chromium in HoI4 are relatively small compared to the other resources. To that end, CFR also aims to make chromium an important resource worth paying attention to.

The amount of steel and chromium required increases in an exponential pattern. The first 15 factories are free, and every factory after that will incur a cost. This cost will start very small - the first few factories after 15 will still not cost anything just due to how the math works out - but the costs will ramp up significantly, reaching hundreds of steel and chromium necessary upon reaching hundreds of civilian factories.

Of course, you can still build more factories beyond what you have the resources to support, but it comes at a cost - construction speed will decrease by up to 75% depending on how much of a shortage of steel and/or chromium is present. Trade or conquest will be key to managing large industrial bases.

All math calculations for CFR will run daily for player countries and weekly for AI countries.

Inspired by FeedBackGaming's video discussing chromium.

Yes; as per the description, you may need to wait for a week or two of in-game time to pass before the numbers are refreshed and modifiers are applied to every country in the game if you do.
