HOI4 - BFTB - GRE - foreign investment - Heavy

[Arkadi]

Good day! The greek heavy investment decisions for the Soviet Union and Italy do not seem to work. All they do is add a "heavy investment" civilian factories use debuff, and no factories. I even checked the events files D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Hearts of Iron IV\events\BFTB_Greece.txt

the bit about heavy investment by SU and Italy seem to be missing: both have a light / medium / heavy investment and reward scripted, but instead of giving greece the usual 3 Mil or 3 CIv, it gives greece a debuff!

The others seem to work ... kind of ok, Ger, GB, and Fra all give 3 factories / civs. Although the UK can do so twice.

i strongly suspect this is a bug.

Also the decisions should have been more streamlined. Right now, it's not even clear how to play them right unless you actually start reading the script.

I had wondered why all the power points I'm spending on Italy don't seem to do anything. Still chugging along with the same low factory count. I wish I hadn't written off French and British investment so early...

Here is Spain's historical production, according to one source (the Mineral Yearbook)

The document can be found at:

Note that HoI4 design (use to be) for minerals was (??) based on 1936 real world production numbers.

Here are world production values for the year 1936 for comparison, taken from an earlier year's volume (1940, I believe...the screen snip above was published in 1951 or so, giving the data compilers more time to flesh out missing numbers from the war years)

Note that in 1936, the amount of Spanish tungsten production was not known to the data compilers .

One way to use these data is compare a country's tungsten production to the total 1936 baseline data: 24,867 metric tons in 1936.

Then, when making a mod, identify what percentage a nation's annual production compares to 24,867 metric tons.

This assumes that HoI4 "tungsten" represents tungsten.

But the game designers have designated bird feces (Nauru guano) as tungsten, thus confusing the picture with inconsistent game design "rules" (..."is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.")
