Hearts of Iron IV - Beginner Tutorial - Construction

[BjornB]

The tutorial week continues! Today's episode is about Construction.

The purpose of these videos is to make short and easy to find guides on specific topics. Once the game is released we expect a ton of user made let's plays and tutorials. Since these tend to be quite long, and it might be hard to find the specific thing you have questions about, We made these. I like to call them wiki articles in video format.

nice, one
thought i have off-topic question:

Spoiler

does cheat codes will be applied to all nations just like in hoi3 when you do it?
i remember when i got nuked numerous times by enemy after i entered the nuke cheat

Interesting, why would anyone build civilian factories if you can build a military factory and convert it for 3600 + 2000 vs 7200 cost for a civilian factory? I imagine this is a bit of an oversight on the balance part...

Thankyou!

2000 cost is for civilian to military factory conversion while military to civilian is 6000.

With mobilization laws these cots can be increased or reduced.

To build Military Factories, you need Civilian Factories. A good Civilian Base is necessary to build up your Military Capacities.

thanks very helpful information

 

[ViriathusTG]

Whats up with all the pauses? The voice over and video arent synced, Paradox you could do these tutorials much better... :/

After seen construction tutorial, It made me realise. There were a pick&drop UI feature for airplanes in the alpha version. Since that Idea ditched I was wondering this.

Can I click (lets say) ctrl+mouse1 to change construction queue to go up or down faster? I dunno maybe ctrl: 5 times & alt: 10 times. It would require very too much clicks to change only one. I hope you understand, I dont know how else to put It.

2000 cost is for civilian to military factory conversion while military to civilian is 6000.

With mobilization laws these cots can be increased or reduced.

Presumably, the labeling isn't very exact. I assumed that the conversion cost listed under military factory meant the conversion cost from military to civilian, but in hindsight going by the numbers the alternative is more likely as you said.

Having said that, with war economy it still may makes sense to build a military factory to convert into civilian. You have a boost to building military factories of +20% construction speed, so the base cost goes down to 1666 2666, and conversion costs -20% so that's another 4800 for 6466 7466 total cost vs 7200 civilian base cost. Also, you get to use the military factory for awhile during the conversion period for even more efficiency. What's there not to like?

I would like to see a video about the economic component and its mechanics in the game like those or other political actions affect the economy

 

[Zarine]

If provided with an early access, I make the same video but with sync video and sound

Something I'm wondering is if I can request the building from the province/state view ?

 

[moncky]

State of Sussex with province of Dover, not state of Essex? Right at the start of the video. Or am I missing something.

Edit: I don't know why I was confused. State == Region and Province == County. If you're from Scotlandshire, Englandshire or Waleshire

 

[jockedahl]

What province is in this Great Britain is DDRJake from?

guys .. how do you measure the cost of building anything ? for example the cost for railways is 3.000 construction cost ... I don't understand what these 3.000 are and where do we see how many we have and how do we produce them ... thanks in advance ...

 

[Brave Little Belgium]

Damn Paradox, stop teasing us with the daily tutorials!

"The Factory Output of each civilian factory is 5 per day. Construction Speed modifies the output for the building of all constructions."

http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Construction

Depending on laws, ministers, national spirits, national focuses you can get more out than that every day if I understands the wiki correct.

Thanks for the answer ... is there a screen where we can see how much of this output our country has ? I haven't seen it in the videos I have watched so far ...

I fully support the question because of money in the game and no the economy is not clear why could not simply transfer economic part of hoi 3 and add the barter system well, for the hardcore system of international monetary unit the gold
