@W4RPER Understood, i would definitely recommend changing it to that name so it makes sense within the game
W4RPER  [author] 30 Jul @ 11:08pm 
@69yoloswagmaster420 Yea, that'll do it lol. I got the same Issues when doing World Conqueror runs. My advice is to just avoid the company list as the lag from other sources is already incredibly high. Adding a small - medium amount from opening the list is incredibly painful.
I know this isn't satisfying, but its what I do to not torture my machine even more D:
W4RPER  [author] 30 Jul @ 11:04pm 
@Mr.Wolf We used that name due to the oldest Logo available having it in the name. From what we found in the sources, Roshen is the name of the parent company, only giving the name Roshen to the factory officially in 2009.

We can change the name to "Demiivka Steam Chocolate and Candy Factory" as that was the name used before becoming the Karl Marx Kyiv Confectionery Factory.
Mr.Wolf ♔ 30 Jul @ 8:22pm 
Can you change the name of Karl Marx confectionery to Roshen Kyiv Confectionery Factory? The name Karl Marx was only put during the Soviet Union, and you don't need to form that country to have that company

im just having issues cause im doing a game where i start with the whole world conquered and the list keep lagging me so its not a common issue
W4RPER  [author] 30 Jul @ 5:52pm 
@69yoloswagmaster420 The mod shouldn't impact performance all that much when comparing it to other mods. The only lag that should occur happens when opening the company tab.

We would have to cut a majority of companies for a condensed version. The base game currently has a little over 200 companies. Our mod adds another 600. If we did create a version that cut the modded companies down to around 200 on top of the vanilla 200, the initial lag would be reduced a little, but not significantly. At best, this would save around 3-5 seconds whenever opening the company tab (judging by the performance of my old laptop).

i know most people ask for more companies but is there a condensed version for those with bad pcs

@killeraap Thank you!
killeraap 29 Jul @ 1:12am 
Nice mod, my dudes! Insane how fast you update it to new patches. It really adds a lot of gameplay variety and replayability for me, especially now companies are actually usefull and fun. Can't really play the game without this anymore. All I want to say is, keep up the good work!
W4RPER  [author] 28 Jul @ 9:59am 
@Tecuatl This is an Issue with the balancing of the base game. I also thought that it was kind of silly. We looked into lowering the prestige certain prestige goods grant, but the currently implemented values are already the minimum values. We can only increase them.
Tecuatl 28 Jul @ 8:16am 
I have noticed this makes unifying Italy as Two Sicilies way harder because Sardinia-Piedmont goes straight for the prestige Mediterranean Wine which gives them +72 prestige along with +15% prestige from the company bonus, which is enough to rocket them into a Major Power all on its own, very early in the game. I don't know if this one wine export should give as much as prestige as a huge fleet of battleships!
W4RPER  [author] 27 Jul @ 11:10am 
@Macgyver You only need Dynamite and 5 sulfur levels in the state of Victoria. Other than that the company must only be able to buy 5 total buildings to be established. Only thing I can think of is that you either didn't have dynamite or didn't have enough non-company owned buildings.
flardarmar  [author] 27 Jul @ 10:27am 
@Macgyver could you tell us what doesn't work?
Macgyver 27 Jul @ 10:14am 
Consolidated Zinc in Australia doesnt work.
kingdomadvanced 25 Jul @ 5:39am 
@W4RPER Thank you for the detailed response and for pinning the Journal entry companies!
W4RPER  [author] 24 Jul @ 6:32pm 
@kingdomadvanced I've made sure to name the JE companies in our patch notes. Current JE companies are US Steel (US), Imperial Chemical Industries (UK), IG Farben & Deutsche Reichsbahn (Germany) and the 4 Zaibatsus (Japan).

Slotting in any one of the historical companies included in the merger that led to the JE companies will show you the JE under Potential Journal Entries. If the conditions there are met, the journal entry will activate and complete after after a few years of the related companies being prosperous.
kingdomadvanced 24 Jul @ 3:55pm 
Love your mod! I'd be really interested to know what the formable companies are and which companies you need to activate the JE, especially for Germany. Thank you very much!
W4RPER  [author] 24 Jul @ 8:31am 
@gamecho having Carnegie Steel company OR any of the other steel companies that were merged into US Steel, the Journal will become visible under "potential journal entries".

声望商品无法正常触发日志,尝试关闭了所有本地化mod,并且将游戏设置为英语,依旧无法正常触发
gamecho 24 Jul @ 5:12am 
How can I activate the company journal? US Steel is not visible anywhere
W4RPER  [author] 23 Jul @ 2:37pm 
@DailyLithium We may add them to the document the next time we do a major overhaul of each company.
DailyLithium 23 Jul @ 6:18am 
It'd be nice if the spreadsheet told us which companies gave which prestige goods.
W4RPER  [author] 22 Jul @ 2:21am 
@Bujakaa It should be, but Journal Entries related to companies will not get added until a new playthrough gets started.

@¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We got a specific balancing sheet that you can look at when going to the company wishlist. We might make changes in the future, but right now we are focused on new content.

@Broeckelmann It should only cause lag when opening the Company tab as it has to load all of the possible companies when you do. This lag is very dependent on the strength of your machine though. Otherwise there should not be any additional lag.
Broeckelmann 21 Jul @ 12:43pm 
Is it just me or does this cause more lag?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21 Jul @ 9:50am 
Very good mod - just a few things to make it great : Please change random values like +4% or +8% to 5% or 10%, it just looks goofy and hurts my autism. And try to find better Symboles for your new prestige goods - some look to goofy aswell. Also i feel like some Companies could get moved down the tech tree a litttle, feels unnessarly restrictive and almost worthless to have them so late. Otherwise i really enjoi your work - thanks
Bujakaa 21 Jul @ 1:02am 
Could not find info. Is this save game compatible?
Archscientist K 19 Jul @ 6:28pm 
@flardarmar Transportation may suffer from similar issues, actually. I noticed it can also be prestige.
Archscientist K 19 Jul @ 6:23pm 
@flardarmar Well, yeah... There can be brands for lots of things. I just don't think electricity can really be one. It feels weird and inconsistent with how prestige goods work. No Tools Workshop is buying prestige steel because it's a "brand". They buy it more because it's better quality. Hence the throughput bonus for using it in a building. Electricity may also be a consumer good, but it's used literaly everywhere. Which, not only could be really OP as a prestige good, but it also doesn't make sense why my steel factories are doing better because of a specific brand of electricity lol
Besides, other mods like to rework electricity or even just add it to urban centers and whatnot. Making it so I can have 2 types of electricity: generic and prestige. Prestige somehow being better...
W4RPER  [author] 19 Jul @ 6:14pm 
@Floofy Woofie We had one, but had to remove it due to the 3 prestige good per base good limit. We will reintroduce it once the limit gets increased. We granted Japan warships and airplanes instead as those were more appropriate.
Floofy Woofie 19 Jul @ 3:17pm 
Can we get a Japanese car prestige good? There are a ton with planes but I would love one just for cars because the first jap automobile was like 1907!
Bradeurs 19 Jul @ 6:30am 
@Flardarmar yeah I noticed that with american express, but what I mean is that it does start with it but the Trade Rights button in the company panel shows it as being inactive despite the fact it does start with the building - and pressing it to activate it (if you didnt notice it being active if youre dumb like me) actually removes the building type from the company and you get stuck with the cooldown before you can activate it again, and I assume that means you have to pay the company charter for it the second time around
flardarmar  [author] 19 Jul @ 6:18am 
@Bradeurs some banks do indeed start with trade centers as a primary building, turning it off again, will allow them to build trade centers again
Bradeurs 19 Jul @ 6:09am 
Not sure if this is a possible fix or not but it looks like banks are supposed to start with trade rights but its possible, by attempting to activate trade rights, to disable it and lose that benefit
flardarmar  [author] 19 Jul @ 5:13am 
@Markvs sadly there are limitations currently with the amount of prestige goods that we can add. There is a limit of 3 prestige goods per good, regardless of vanilla + modded. We do consider a compatch a possibility, but time is a issue currently.
Markvs 19 Jul @ 5:09am 
perhaps a huge ask but maybe true compatibility between this and Tech and Res? Due to the buildings added many of these companies become not very viable later on. Only a slight peeve though, excellent mod; though some of the prestige goods feel as if theyre not really in character as to how theyre used in base game. Such as John Deere just producing "Tractors" rather than specifically "Deere Tractors". Or Glass Jars being a variant of "Glass" rather than Porcelain as itll result in a bizarre input good for construction.
flardarmar  [author] 18 Jul @ 9:06am 
@Archscientist K electricity and transportation are also consumer goods and with the prestige good on these they get "bought" more often compared to other goods such as coal(used as heating*)
flardarmar  [author] 18 Jul @ 9:02am 
@Archscientist K well prestige is not always "better", there are many famous brands even nowadays that are overpriced for what they offer, but people still buy them and feel better
Archscientist K 18 Jul @ 8:14am 
Minor thing: maybe eletricity shouldn't have a prestige good and electricity companies which have them could have a better prospretity bonus instead. I don't think it makes sense to have "special" electricity which improves throughput and SoL when used... Electricity is just electricity no matter where it comes from. It can be cheaper and more abundant, but not "better" lol
It just feels a bit weird to me. And the good also doesn't get the trade advantage that prestige goods have, since you can't really trade it. I think it would feel better and more immersive if the bonus went for the company in some way instead.
W4RPER  [author] 17 Jul @ 4:43am 
@GoatMutt Bethlehem Steel already has refined Steel. Will add it to Chongqing Iron and Steel with the next update though.
GoatMutt 16 Jul @ 11:10pm 
Are the mods' steel companies like Chongqing Iron and Steel or Bethlehem Steel going to have refined steel as prestige goods?
W4RPER  [author] 15 Jul @ 11:26am 
@< blank > I believe this is the same bug that was mentioned a few days ago. If you continue a game from a previous patch, new journal entries will not activate. Starting a new game on the current patch should solve this issue.

我相信这是几天前提到的同一个错误。如果你继续从之前的版本进行游戏,新的日志条目将无法激活。在当前版本上开始新游戏应该可以解决这个问题。
< blank > 15 Jul @ 10:58am 
繁荣度到达100时,生产名贵商品的前提日志不出现。能出个移除前提日志的补丁吗?
When the prosperity level reaches 100, the prerequisite log for producing precious goods does not appear. Can you come up with a patch to remove prerequisite logs?
W4RPER  [author] 15 Jul @ 9:30am 
@christopher_mathews Our mod doesn't modify buildings, so they should be compatible.
christopher_mathews 15 Jul @ 8:29am 
This mod looks awesome. Want to try it out when I get home this week. Any thoughts on compatibility issues with Make My Railways Profitable Again?
abda123 15 Jul @ 8:13am 
@W4RPER thanks for the reply
W4RPER  [author] 15 Jul @ 3:57am 
@abda123 It does not, but is compatible with mods that do add them, yes.

@Komandor_Chrupki Will be fixed.
Komandor_Chrupki 15 Jul @ 1:42am 
Also Kabushiki-gaisha Kubta needs iron in Kansai where is no iron. But you can still do it via motor industries
abda123 15 Jul @ 1:07am 
Does this mod have a setting to increase the number of companies and company charters you can get?
Or is it compatible with mods to increase the number of companies and company charters?
W4RPER  [author] 14 Jul @ 2:16pm 
@Komandor_Chrupki Oversight on my end, new requirement will be 3 urban centers in either state.
Komandor_Chrupki 14 Jul @ 1:33pm 
How can i form Companhia Matte Larangeira? It needs tea plantations in provinces without tea plantations
