Hi everyone,As mentioned in last weeks diary, I wanted to go a little more into detail with a few of the changes modders can look forward to in 1.3.3.A part of HOI4 we've often seen modded are the technology trees, specifically adding trees that are unique to one nation. This has so far been achieved with a clever little trick, where the first technology in a tree only is available to a certain nation. This does achieve the goal, but it also means all trees are visible, even though the player can never research them. In 1.3.3 we've added dynamic technology folders, which hides and locks any technology in the folder that does not meet the trigger. I've taken a book out of my click bait add and prepared a little before and after sample using BICE as an example of how the new mod feature looks.Obviously they could chose to remove all the original folders and replace with country unique ones, but that's up to the BICE guys.This does technically work with any trigger, but I recommend primarily using it for tags. Enabling during the game and and keeping it enabled for the rest of the game should not be a problem.One of our focuses for 1.3.3 is to improve industrial balance. We will talk more about that in the future (when its actually done) but this has led to some new features modders have requested as well. Its now possible to separate the industrial bonuses between factories and dockyards for example (helpful for balancing concentrated vs dispersed industry also) as well as now being able to control the max number of factories assignable to production lines (some mods like to limit the max for naval construction for example so you produce more in parallel rather than serially) but so far this was only possible by limiting UI for player. Now it can be set separately for military, civilian and naval lines.Of course modders have also wanted to be able to change names of cities, and now you can!These new features will amaze you. I can't believe no 5The rest of the team are squashing bugs, working on late game performance and as always improving the AI.Also don't forget to tune in at 16:00CET on www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive today where we will be checking out Millennium Dawn: Modern Day Mod in our series of mod highlights in World War Wednesday!
