Yes what?
"Yes" is no feasible answer to an "or" question.

"Yes" is no feasible answer to an "or" question.
Once again thanks for the DD Johan! This time it really came with perfect timing. Now I wonder about the balance between majors and minors regarding the max number of industries. The number of industries cannot just depend on population and infrastructure but also on things like education level, GDP and politics. Is that taken into consideration?

No. It's a wargame, not a country simulator after all
Maybe some economics laws can have effect on the production, but there is no such things like education or GDP.My hope is that if laws are moddable and if we can create new we will be able to create Education Laws that have effect on some aspect of the game.
Maybe education falls unter the Focuses in this quote?
EDIT: And, isn't GDP going to be a result of Civilian Industry? Wouldn't make sense to allow the quantity of something to factor into the max quantity of itself.
Yes, but of course it's preferred to have a realistic max number of industries for each nation at the start of each scenario, right? Then it's not only a question about population and infrastructure.
If it's not feasible to make it fully moddable, as a workaround would it be possible to add say a dozen "unused" factory types with moddable names and allow modders to change what gets produced in which kind of factory? Or is it the latter part that's infeasible?
Maybe they can take a few days' worth of hourly (game-time) screenshots, make a .gif from them, and we can pretend we're playing....

Piano and furniture factories were mainstays of the British aircraft industry - the Mosquito and doubtless others had plywood fuselages.

Quite funny that this does represent industry as a whole. And now it makes more sense why there is no money and all is counted on resources.
But I hope that AA does work (this time) as it would be pain in the ass to lose half of the IC.

Primary defense against strategic bombing are fighters, not AAA.
Role of AAA is mostly to deter bombers from flying low enough for accurate strikes - reducing effect of that bombing.

Maybe there are individual icons because they can be to identify what is being produced, when it will be finished, if a factory is idle or under capacity or other factory-specific info at a glance?
AA still didn't work as intended in HOI3, though. It was wa too easy to destroy. Send a wing to bomb factories and roads, and it'll also take out most of the province's AA incredibly quickly, essentiall making it pretty useless.
As for the role of AA, it didn't really deter bombers or degrade their performance, either, except I think the AI preferred to bomb targets without high AA coverage.

To @podcat: maybe it'd be an idea to put the topic of the DD in the title instead of the date, or perhaps with a shortened date?? Like "Dev-diary 23: buildingindustry (4/9/2015)

I am talking about IRL, not about stupid implementation of AAA and Strategic bombing in HoI3....
Even if meant as a joke, posting things like that is in extremely poor taste (well, in my opinion anyway).

I've been meaning to ask... what do the numbers in the upper right represent? There's Soviet union with a large number. A lot of other areas (look like regions/theaters?) often with the number 0. I missed what that represents!
Cheers!
