I love you @Anbeeld

ARoAI + Explosives Industry

Can this mod be translated into Korean?

Hey, could this mod perhaps be tweaked a bit? What I mean is, there seems to be an issue at the start with no countries producing explosives. So I got an idea, what if the fertilizer plants would produce a reduced amount from before, in order to keep munitions plants from going idle. A dedicated explosives plant would be enabled later with technology? Just a thought...

@Flamboyant Schemer61, that's with Anbeeld

I love your mod but we need a compatibility patch with the ai mod :(

@ Hotfix

- Fixed an issue in the booming industries journal entry that required explosives production methods in chemical plants.

Enjoy!

@Soter - Dave thanks, will fix it!

This mod makes it impossible to complete the "Booming Industries" journal entry as it requires your chemical plants to have one of the 4 explosives processes.

Based on my games so far, I think there needs to be some kind of green production method change that reduces the labour needed for this building, similar to most other buildings in the game. Late-game the building starts having issues competing with other industries.

i mean sure, but by then you should have electricity and be able to produce such a lions share of explosives vs fertilizer that it isnt an issue

At some point it becomes impossible to just keep exporting fertilizers, it will result in unprofitable, unproductive and inefficient trade routes which will lead to them deactivating automatically

@Glowner this whole mod is to solve this issue

for anyone struggling to create enough explosives because the factory isnt hiring enough by default, just export your fertilizers to make them more profitable

@Nimta I see, well i'd like to keep this mod. Thank you!

No, I meant that historically fertilizers and explosives were made in the same place with the same chemicals, just slightly differently. Depending on the fertilizer, some of them are themselves also explosive. Separating the explosives and fertilizers entirely is however nice for game design reasons I'd rather not go into. Either you keep this mod as is or delete it entirely, there's no other real alternative.

@Twisted Bliss makes sense, i'll release an update soon that makes it consume fertilizers!

@Imperialist i think Nimta meant that explosives are made from fertilizers too and that's why the game made both in the same building.

@Nimta do you mean explosive industries should consume fertilizers? Or should explosives industries consume same input resources as fertilizers?

this is nice to have for gameplay reasons, but I think it misses the point that synthetic fertilizers and explosives are generally made of the same stuff IRL. note that IRL WWI germany turned its fertilizer production into explosive and gas production for the war machine.

Good!

good mod take my upvote, no idea why they didn't make a specific explosives building but they do have many unused icons like foundries etc.. so they did think about it XD
