Hayes and Political Parties
Okay, I'm sick and tired of answering this.

Yes, I'm very well aware that in the Reform path the Intellectuals stay in power. Why? Because game mechanics put Hayes in charge as President. Which of course is its own problems

So, you may ask, why not make Granite the leader of the people party? Well, I did. And then got bombarded again worh people asking why isn't Hayes in charge?

Same answer.

It's a catch 22. I'm screwed either way. Right now, Granite stays President and Hayes stays in charge of the people party.

You could always make a decision on who's in charge and add in a little lore snippit or event which details it. Idk, something like a backroom meeting where granite and hayes hash it out before deciding who's in charge, and whoever isn't in charge becomes VP. In the end it's your mod, and while listening to the people playing it is beneficial, there are points where putting your foot down with something you've decided can work out as well. Tis a balancing act, be firm with some details, and allow leeway with others.

On the plus side, I'm thoroughly enjoying your mod so far, can't wait to see the crises when they eventually get added so keep up the good work!

(bonus suggestion: Make cerberus a crisis, he's terrifying normally with insane manpower production and could be a solid rival to the technological prowess of the enclave, a threat through sheer quantity)

Its not even listening to people, which I do (or try to) It's a simple matter of game mechanics going haywire.

Since Granite is not "elected" as far as the game is concerned, the Party "In Power" takes over. When the People Party gain power, then it automatically switches. Thus a simple fix is to just code in the Intellectuals as the ruling Party and problem solved.

However, Old School ERB had it to where the People take over, which shows its age as that puts Hayes in Charge. I've just addressed this so many times that I was struggling to not have a expletive laden rant on both this post and to the comment on the main page.

Seems like a comically nit picky complaint but so it goes. Great work on the latest expansion, I've really enjoyed all of the extra content. have probably sunk another 20 hours into the mod.

Never doubt anything with modding. I can go at length on how it's apparently a big issue for sone reason because in Old ERB it switches the party (and puts Graham as President) the fact it doesn't becomes an issue.

I went off in the discord. I mean OFF. I don't like using this word but, it legitimately triggers me. That is the best way I can describe it. It is such a common question/bug report/complaint that I struggle not to curse when responding.

Or at least not come off sounding like an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Which to people innocently asking isn't fair. Despite being the one hundred and umpteenth time I've been asked.
