Description of issue
Uk focus diseapeared after a branch become invisible

What platform do you play on?
Steam

Game Version
1.12.11

Enabled DLC
All

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Description
In the UK, the focus "Embargo on soviets" (with its linked focus "Attack soviets") need the focus ''Renounce on the policy of appeasement" or "Iran focus" that are respectively integrated in the "Global Defense" branch and "Gasmaks issue" branch. > see screenshot 1.

When Global defense is accomplished, the branch of Gasmasks issue become invisible. And "Embargo on soviets" too (with its linked focus "Attack soviets"). It should be visible, because it's supposed to be available through the focus ''Renounce on the policy of appeasement" (which is still visible after that).

Steps to Reproduce
Accomplish "Steady as she goes" focus, then "Global Defense", and you cannot see "Embargo on soviets" and "Attack soviets" anymore.

It's because "Embargo the Soviet Union" switched to the place where "Maintaining Imperial Integrity" was before. Before releasing this patch there should be optimization with rearranging the branches after hiding. Don't know if other majors or branches have the same issues.

OMG I didn't seen it...
@Paradox, The bug is confirmed. Not exactly what I described, but "Maintaining Imperial Integrity" branch is now hidden under "Embargo the soviets" one. Fix it please.

Can confirm.

Strange bug, as the focus "Embargo the soviet union" changes requirements (it needs "secure iran" at the beginning of the game ) and becomes mutual exclusive (it's not before.)

Here the screenshot with english texts. Select first "steady as she goes" then "global defense"

//edit: Correction:
It's not changing requirements. It's "Requires one of the following". (I read it twice a still got it wrong... facepalm...)

If someone want fix for it, until devs will fix it:
Code:
        offset = {
            x = 4
            y = 0
            trigger = {
                AND = {
                    has_game_rule = {
                        rule = obsolete_focus_branches_visibility
                        option = HIDE
                    }
                    has_completed_focus = ENG_global_defense
                }
            }
        }
Paste this in uk focus file under ENG_embargo_ussr

Yes, branches of the British focus tree are vanishing when "Global Defense" is completed (besides Home Defense of course). I'm wanting to go for Imperial Federation, but as soon as Global Defense is completed the branch for "Maintaining Imperial Integrity" vanishes. I've run the situation 6 times now with some tweaks each time in what Focus Tree paths I take, in all cases Maintaining Imperial Integrity disappears as soon as Global Defense is completed.
