Uh well why I even mentioned the Total Overhaul? Well because a ideology change is quite commom especially in the beggining of the game and then later on in weak and unstanble countries as well as countries devastated by war.

So if a country chooses some political path in the focus tree, and like 2 years after that gets overthrown by some other party for not fullfiling whatever the people wanted it'd be weird to still having the ideas of non-existing regime.

So I've got an idea. I usually play with the Total Overhaul mod on. Would it be possible trough some on actions make it so whenever there's a change in iedology all ideology related and co-related/politics focuses would get reset (focus_uncomplete) and all the modifiers and/or ideas provided by those focuses would get removed? I know a lot of work but... Having fascist ideas as democratic, communist or any other ideology and vice versa is weird and out of place.

HI all i'm going to rework the industrial tree and adding a LAW tree to this focus and 1 more communist and fascist path.i may change this workshop name to my new focus mod name:wehrmacht:

@someRandomChris maby if someone wants to play they can swap it with the desicion but probaly because its shared i dont know.
Buikbaard  [author] 14 Jul @ 8:11am 
@pizzamancz
Yes the generic was also factor 10 i did that for testing but dindt change it back
pizzamancz 14 Jul @ 7:15am 
I see most of the trees are being set to factor 10 and your generic focus tree had higher value
pizzamancz 14 Jul @ 5:45am 
@Buikbaard
Great job! Tbh to this day I didn't know for what the factor is when assigning a focus tree. I've always needed to assign to specific nations so I didn't care about the factor:D. So if I understand it correctly. If not limited by tag conditions the factor value decides wheter it has higher importance over some other trees, right?
SomeRandomChris 13 Jul @ 2:02pm 
@Buikbaard Yep, all seems to be working now. Ty!

On a side note, Albania still has the vanilla generic focus, however I believe this is the way it is because it may have a shared focus with another nation (maybe austria) and it HAS to have the original generic by default. So it may just be a good idea to leave it like that (no one plays Albania anyways?)

@SomeRandomChris woops forgot to fix that sorry @pizzamancz you where correct if forgot it i put factor high sooo everyone took that focus woops @Sjae sorry if fixed it plz still love me :3
SomeRandomChris 13 Jul @ 8:11am 
@Buikbaard The desicion does work! Nicely done!

However we have another problem now, many nations (like Germany, the Soviets, Mexico, etc) lost their starting focus tree and now they start the game with the generic one, even before using the desicion.
Buikbaard  [author] 13 Jul @ 7:48am 
@SomeRandomChris i made an Desicion now for every country you play you can chose the Only me New focus tree or all and stuff sooo its working now i think
pizzamancz 13 Jul @ 7:09am 
I've also encoutered this issue... Looking trough the mod files it might have smth do to with how the improved generic focus tree is assigned. Or maybe it's just paradox messign up mods.
SomeRandomChris 10 Jul @ 8:32am 
@Buikbaard
@Sjae is right, most of the european focuses were replaced by the vanilla one for some reason. This includes Germany, France, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and many others.
Sjae 9 Jul @ 7:53pm 
all of the focuses are replaced with the generic one
SomeRandomChris 8 Jul @ 3:53pm 
@Buikbaard It may be a good idea to learn how to make it a decision (for the decisions tab) instead of a focus, that way you can use it regardless of you being a generic nation or not.

Hello! Can I have permission to use this mod as the generic focus? All credits will be given
Buikbaard  [author] 4 Jul @ 10:40am 
@Soul_XP of course no problem. Glad i helped i wanna create it so everyone have fun with it and can use it forever (probably dies after next big update XD)
Soul_XP 4 Jul @ 10:00am 
Sounds good, thanks again for going through the trouble of my suggestion
Buikbaard  [author] 4 Jul @ 9:40am 
@Soul_XP if done it the overlord gets an event you/AI but even if you are a puppet there is a
chance you need to take left side but only makes every game more random

the chances are 27% left 27% right and 45% for booth sides so you can make a choice
Soul_XP 3 Jul @ 12:32pm 
I guess that works, thanks for going through the trouble.
Buikbaard  [author] 3 Jul @ 6:39am 
@soul_XP i got trouble making pop-up at start. I can make it like if you are the puppetmaster host. You will get an event at the first focus from the puppet and you can say you can be free or you need to stay? and if you are puppet the ai wont get it so its still random?
Soul_XP 2 Jul @ 3:56pm 
Yeah, either as an option for game settings or a pop-up at start. If that's not too much trouble.
Buikbaard  [author] 1 Jul @ 3:09am 
Soul_XP so that you are the master and say you stay with me?
because its now a 50/50 chance
Soul_XP 30 Jun @ 7:12pm 
Could you consider an option for the puppet path to force puppets to go down either the helpful or unruly path?
LeyLey 29 Jun @ 4:37pm 
is there a way you coupled fix the big where the focus dosnt load in a already existing save file?
BrAzZo 5 Jun @ 8:13am 
Thank you ;)
Buikbaard  [author] 5 Jun @ 6:25am 
@BrazZo i tried to make it work with Kaiserreich and focus but doesnt seem to work i dont know how to do it sorry
BrAzZo 2 Jun @ 12:36pm 
If you make something similar to yours with new political parties it will be great. Examples: Galicia, Czech Republic, Hungary.
Buikbaard  [author] 2 Jun @ 9:40am 
@BrAzZo okay and what countries do i need to do if i have the time to do because i dont know witch one has generic ? i only know about Nepal?
BrAzZo 2 Jun @ 9:24am 
Hello, I contacted the creator of the mod but without result. However, if you find a moment, many people will be grateful. Not only me :)
BrAzZo 8 May @ 12:24pm 
I will try.
Buikbaard  [author] 6 May @ 11:05am 
@BrazZo thank you but i'm only editing this mod you can ask the original creator of this mod?

BrAzZo 6 May @ 10:08am 
Amazing work! But I have a question: Would you be able to make a version for Kaiserreich?
Buikbaard  [author] 3 May @ 5:18am

Buikbaard  [author] 2 May @ 8:23am

cursive57 2 May @ 1:39am 
is this possible to make a country declare independance when he turns to an opposite ideology of the master, or white peace/leaving a war when switching ideology and fighting in a faction ?
Buikbaard  [author] 17 Apr @ 12:17pm 
@Triples_340 done

Dracarchon 15 Apr @ 3:20pm
