Adding factories in an “include” file for a unknown country?

[ladybug]

Hey I have been working on the EU3 to rev converter and if you want to story on why I am asking this have a read of the last few pages for it if you are a programmer we could really use your help.

Anyway I am wanting to add factories to a scenario from a included file (like how the events and pops are added) this is my current testing file

factroy = { location = 251 id = { type = 5300 id = 1 } type = glass_factory }
factroy = { location = 253 id = { type = 5300 id = 2 } type = paper_mill }
factroy = { location = 256 id = { type = 5300 id = 3 } type = machine_parts_factory }
factroy = { location = 255 id = { type = 5300 id = 4 } type = luxury_furniture_factory }
factroy = { location = 231 id = { type = 5300 id = 5 } type = paper_mill }
factroy = { location = 233 id = { type = 5300 id = 6 } type = furniture_factory }
factroy = { location = 230 id = { type = 5300 id = 7 } type = cement_factory }
factroy = { location = 224 id = { type = 5300 id = 8 } type = steel_factory }
factroy = { location = 227 id = { type = 5300 id = 9 } type = regular_clothes_factory }
factroy = { location = 225 id = { type = 5300 id = 10 } type = fertilizer_factory }
factroy = { location = 222 id = { type = 5300 id = 11 } type = lumber_mill }
factroy = { location = 219 id = { type = 5300 id = 12 } type = explosives_factory }
factroy = { location = 221 id = { type = 5300 id = 13 } type = luxury_clothes_factory }
factroy = { location = 216 id = { type = 5300 id = 14 } type = fabric_factory }
factroy = { location = 217 id = { type = 5300 id = 15 } type = winery }
factroy = { location = 215 id = { type = 5300 id = 16 } type = ammunition_factory }
factroy = { location = 214 id = { type = 5300 id = 17 } type = clipper_shipyard }
factroy = { location = 212 id = { type = 5300 id = 18 } type = small_arms_factory }

The problem is when the game tries to load it it gives me a “illegal top level object” error. Now I am assuming this is because the factories are not in a country section? Now is there any way to add factories as an included when the actual country they are going to is unknown? the way to fix it can not be a program it to go into the country section as it is not possible for us to actually do that at this point in time.

i don't think you can do it, you can add starting factories via an inc file, but those are predefined territories. I don't think you can add factories in an .eug

your alternative would be to make a series of province events that would fire at the first of the game adding the factories to those provinces, using the gain_building command

Why is it that I think of stuff no one else does but when it comes to something as simple as writing an event it goes write over my head. thanks

Should be no problem changing it to write an event but a question of factory placement. Say state 1 has province a, b and c would I have to place all factories in a single province or could I place a single factory in all 3 without any problems? its mainly because states could be split between couintries.

if you place the factory in all 3 provinces of a state, and that state passes whole to one nation, it will become a level-3 factory IIRC. But I see your point.

I guess if it was me doing it, I'd put the factory in the most logical center for industry in a state, and then if the state is split, whoever gets it is the lucky one.

ah that’s good but chances are a state won’t have 3 of the same factory as there is currently 3 factories for each EU3 manufactories so unless there are 4 EU3 provinces then convert to 1 state and you build the same manufactory is each province only one will be level 2. It’s a more fair system if a state is split thanks.
