while i like the idea i feel like it is a bit of a miss. while you have fixed the split output of motor industries you have now transfared that same problem over to the automobile industry. instead i think it would be better to have separate buildings for each good, as dual outputs are rather annoying and "micromanagy"

You know a mod's good when it gets incorporated into the base game.

Congrats on being integrated into vanilla!

how to disable in the middle of a playthrough without crashing?

@ TheUnholyPotato
Sure, if it's appropriately credited

I'm planning to make a small mod largely for personal use, though I might publish it at a later date.

Would it be permissible to incorporate this rework into it?

Thanks!

Thank you! You are thoroughly credited in it.

@MasterOfGrey
Feel free to include it in your mod

Hi there, I’ve been thinking of doing a broader rework of all military industries generally.
I can’t think of a better way of dealing with war machines than how you’ve already done it here though.
Would you mind if I included this into my rework mod?

(Naturally, full credit would be provided with a link back to this mod.)

Given how engines are treated in the game (used not only in the context of steam engines), in my opinion, it would be more consistent to leave the motor industry unchanged and introduce motors as a required component for production in the automotive industry.

This is I think the mod that I would most like to see adopted by the vanilla game, it works so much better.

@Wilhelm
SInce the mod's changes are very minor, it should probably use the buildings about as well as in the base game (how effective that is depends on your interpretation)

does the AI effectively use this mod?

Okay, I've updated the mod to 1.7 and added Spanish localization

There's been a few changes in 1.7, the mod should be updated soon

Hey, is this mod 1.7. compatible? :)

Spanish:

Locomotive Factories - Industria Ferroviaria
Automotive Industries - Industria Automotriz
Automobiles - Automóviles
Aeroplanes - Aviones
Tanks - Tanques
No Aeroplane Production - Sin producción de aviones
Limited Aeroplane Production - Producción Limitada de Aviones
Extensive Aeroplane Production - Producción Extensiva de Aviones
No Tank Production - Sin producción de tanques
Limited Tank Production - Producción limitada de tanques
Extensive Tank Production - Producción Extensiva de tanques

Added French localization

French :

Locomotive Factories - Usines de locomotives
Automotive Industries - Industries automobiles
Automobiles - Automobiles
Aeroplanes - Avions
Tanks - Chars
No Aeroplane Production - Pas de production d'avions
Limited Aeroplane Production - Production d'avions limitée
Extensive Aeroplane Production - Production d'avions importante
No Tank Production - Pas de production de chars
Limited Tank Production - Production de chars limitée
Extensive Tank Production - Production de chars importante

@Bull
They should be able to, the building themselves haven't changed, only their production methods

Does the AI build the new factories?

Added German localization

german:

Locomotive Factories - Lokomotivfabriken
Automotive Industries - Automobilindustrien
Automobiles - Automobile
Aeroplanes - Flugzeuge
Tanks - Panzer
No Aeroplane Production - Keine Flugzeugproduktion
Limited Aeroplane Production - Begrenzte Flugzeugproduktion
Extensive Aeroplane Production - Umfangreiche Flugzeugproduktion
No Tank Production - Keine Panzerproduktion
Limited Tank Production - Begrenzte Panzerproduktion
Extensive Tank Production - Umfangreiche Panzerproduktion

@Gunteraz Good point, I'll change the name soon

Good idea for a mod however perhaps another name besides "Steam Engine Industries" could be better as it is weird to have production methods called "Electric Engines" and "Diesel Engines". Maybe "Locomotive Industries". Or even better, "Choo-Choo Factories"!
