Simple Synthetic Solution

Compatible with version 1.4.2 Oak - No further updates -

This is a small piece of mod enabling the player to either build a synthetic oil factory or a synthetic rubber plant. It is cut out of the expanded industry mod of Hauptbahnof Alex here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=698861160. All credit goes to him. I needed a simpler solution so made this one for myself, then decided to share.

You won't research seperate technologies, only will chose which plant to build. My aim was to change least possible number of files so that it can be compatible or incorporated into other mods. That is why the rubber plant uses the same graphic icon as the oil factory on the construction view screen. Adding any additional graphic object there is messy.

Wtih the mod, you can choose either to build an oil plant that produces 10 oil for 11700 building cost, or a rubber plant that produces 6 rubber for 7200 building cost, instead of the original plant (7+4) of 13000 production cost. That allows you to organize your production for similar costs. You won't have to produce oil as US or SU, and any nation controling the East Indies won't have to produce rubber. These nations have lots of one but lack the other.

If you are not comfortable with these figures, you can unzip the mod file into your own created mod directory; and then just change the related numbers in mod/common/buildings/00_buildings.txt

This modette (modinho?) also doubles the rubber output of the USA rubber reserve focus to 15. It was giving USA two and a half plants worth of rubber (10), now it does the same. To change, go to mod/common/national_focus/usa.txt.

Thanks Alex for all the hardwork and researching the files. It is pretty easy to edit the necessary files when they are already collected for you and the graphic work is done.
