Like in previous HOI you will need to produce consumer goods and with information from the wednesday stream we know now how they work:

The formual for how many consumer goods you need is given by this equation: L*(C+M)

C is your number of civilian factories and M is your number of military factories. Civilian factories that you receive from trade is not counted to this.
L is the consumer good needs, a % and depend mainly on your economy law: http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Ideas#Economy_laws

How many consumer goods you need is a % of the sum of the civilian and military factories that exist in your country.

Only civilian factories can produce consumer goods. This mean if you build military factories more of your civilian factories will be needed to produce consumer goods, you need to be careful so you don't build so many military factories that all of your civilian factories are needed to build consumer goods. Even a few number of military factories can greatly hurt a civilian economy long term prosperity. Dockyards don't seems to have any effect on how many consumer goods you need so that is something you may be able to take advantage of.

Thanks, that's interesting.

Dockyards don't seems to have any effect on how many consumer goods you need so that is something you may be able to take advantage of.

I guess this is needed to model something like the US pre-WW2, with a very small army but still willing to build/maintain a large navy.
