Are this mod and your alternating current mod compatible?

@Dubbe sorry I didn't see your reply. Tying it to techs could work, although I can't really think of any techs that would be a good fit to tie it to. Alternatively maybe the more advanced production methods could just have a smaller flat expertise penalty, Or as another alternative you could make higher literacy or education institution lvl reduce the penalty.

Some sort of system to let you smooth over the transition process would be a good feature. Maybe you could have a weaker early game version as a decree (so people need to be strategic about using it) and then a later game, more general version unlocked by something like central planning.

i am very sorry for this false alarm
it turns out the issue comes from using the patch for this mod with the BETA version of tech&res

so view this as a warning that there might be some work to do on the patch for the new version

@Teiwaz I can't reproduce a daily stutter with this mod only. I haven't tested this mod with BPM yet, but they both are very calculation intensive mods. On top of that, Tech&Res introducing a lot of buildings and therefore PMs. An impact on performance is not avoidable.

The calculations are on monthly impulses.

Thank you!

@kido: I've pushed a fix for the setback at 0% bug

Performance impact is lesser than initially thought, but there is a small impact. It's impossible to add new gameplay mechanics without performance impact.

on one hand, sounds cool, on the other it sounds like this will add more strain on the engine and introduce more calculations that will cause lag, any reports on the performance?

I love the investment rights change

Any idea if this mod works with private construction method?

I don't need this,what I really need is a mod to auto switch to most advanced pm for me

Hi, I've done more testing, and from my modlist it looks like both this mod and Alternating Current seems to cause this issue. I'll leave a comment on that mod page for now just in case someone else also has this issue.

Thank you! I suspect it's something deeper than the mod itself, because I recall having this issue before the mod came out, but since I isolated it and it still persists it might be affected too.

@kido Hi, i don't changed anything law related file nor use any law related on action trigger that could override something related to this problem.

@all Does anyone else have problems with law success setback?

I'll try to reproduce your problem.

I've noticed that when using this mod, my laws will not setback at 0% success. Do you have any idea what this could be caused by? I've tried running it alone and verifying files.

@XuanYuan_YunBai: What exactly do you mean? The requirements to switch into a pm didn't changed. You have, in the most cases, unlock a technology. Then you und the ai can activate this method.

It would be great if AI could directly switch to the most advanced production methods. It’s a headache that current AI can’t switch to advanced production methods.

Awesome concept, love to see it.

yeah, just saw the note since steam decided to be funny and not load everything (I have no idea why it does that sometimes)

I'm assuming if this is to work with a mod that adds new production methods or factories (such as one that makes factories only make 1 type good) a patch would need to made

I’ve shared the Turkish localization of your mod in the suggestions section. Please consider adding it to the mod. Thank you!

not sure if it's just me but the penalty from changing PM, which was changed to be on a decay timer (which is a great change) only works for the player. The AI still has the full +50% Goods Input penalty for the full 5 months.

great idea - needs to be implemented to base game asap.

The changing of production methods instantly is quite immersion breaking.

base game stuff. gj !

This needs to be in the base game

Could you make it so that it is affected by country literacy as well?

Thank you for addressing this! I always thought its very unrealistic to just switch PM for an entire country without any consequences

@Sunsphere: Have you a suggesstion how this problem could be solved? Basically it should crash your local economy if you switch a large factory to a pm you have no expertise.

My suggestion to counter this effect is: There are three techs that reduces the effect of the malus. They should also reduce the base duration (180 days) of it. On top of that, i'm looking into, how to make it possible that you could "prepare" a pm change. Once the preparation is done, the building changes to this pm automatically without malus. You say that the early game works very well. How about locking this preparation features behind a tech?

Oh this is a cool concept. I hope once it's stable it can be made compatible with Heart of Appalachia in the future.

I like the idea of the mod and I think it works well early game. However in the late game I started running into some issues where the penalty for production changes made it impossible to switch large factories over without crashing the local economy.

@Lord Bowser: Thanks for reporting. I pushed a fix for this bug a minute ago!

This is a great mod! I believe I have found a bug: The technology spread through investment rights seems to break when the cap is reached: Starting as Spain, I did a lot of investment pacts, getting the spread for mechanized tools to 260 (my cap), but the technology doesn't actually spread into the tech. The techs below 260 spread on the first of every month. Or did I misunderstand how that spread is supposed to work?

Great concept, this also reminds me of how production efficiency works in hoi4. Maybe we can take sone ideas from there? For instance maybe an efficiency cap to a PM (say keeping the same PM can only gradually raise efficiency to a bonus of 10% max), then with sone particular technology or laws the efficiency bonus cap becomes 20%, even without changing the PM.

Thanks at all for your feedback.

If possible please let me know what you think about the current balancing.

How affects the technology progress from expertise of PMs you did not unlocked yet your backwards country?
How do you think about the bonus of expertise? Too high or too low?
Is Throughput the right bonus or should it someting other or additional?
How do you think about the malus for switching PMs?
Have you some other ideas how expertise can affects the gameplay?

Thank you!

@comecocos0 There is no easy way to make it compatible with other mods that add new goods but i'm looking for a solution.

Multiple malus modifiers should not be possible. I will take a look at this.

Great idea that I wish was in the base game. I noticed that you can cripple yourself with multiple maluses if you switch back and forth between PMs, is there a way to limit that? Also would be cool if you could make it compatible by default somehow with other mods that add new goods, if even possible. Awesome stuff in any case!

PDX should literally copy this into the main game

This is such a cool idea. Very well done

Amazing MOD！I think pdx should hire you

Stellar concept and just judging by the thumbnails, the UI integration is pretty good. Will have to give this a try.

Have you considered joining the Vic3 Mod Co-op Discord? I'm interested in seeing modded PMs compatibility, although I'm not sure if it'd be possible to do. There's some people way more well-versed with GUI tricks in the discord, though; I think it'd be great if you set up shop in there and got some extra eyes on it.

There's an invite link to it on the Modding page on the Vic3 wiki.

This is so fucking good, absolutely insanely well done Dubbe

Ohhh no wonder, you were too busy cooking

Greetings! A good mod! I want more Chinese player used it so i have translated it inside V3 Chinese submod mod
Would u make a line in description？

Here is my Chinese localization. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880069248

Great idea. Will keep an eye on this.
