Oil is still a resource, Slime Bro Helpdesk is thinking of raw materials - the metal/energy/rare materials used to run IC in previous HoIs have been rolled into one, there's a DD about it here.

So, since civilian industry is separate from military industry, does that mean there's no slider to determine how much IC I'm wasting on commemorative Hitler plates to keep the population happy? Or are there multiple tabs in the production screen, with each tab having it's own sliders?

There are very few sliders in HoI4 (I think the trade screen might be the only place), you just gotta keep a % of your industry as Civilian. It's assumed to be building fridges and stuff to keep people happy as well as being used to build buildings.

Anyway realtalk: Vicky 2, how do I mod it so slaves can work in factories? I've changed their poptype file to have "can_work_factory = yes" in, and I've changed their migration thing to account for that a bit. However, when I load up and start playing, although slaves do start factory work, it crashes after a few days. :saddowns: Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah but my non-slave pop is tiny (I'm Seth Efrica), so my RGOs are abundant but my factories are desolate. I could wait for my Boers and Brits to expand in pops, but I need to boost my factory score now.

You should give out prizes to the first players who figure out how to complete a game start to finish with the most ahistorical outcomes imaginable. It can be an AAR contest. Like WWII kicks off as the Communist State of Orleans attacks the Democratic Republic of Ukraine and ends with the Free State of India nuking Brussels.

About 1/3 of the total message traffic on the internet is people misinterpreting other people's tone. Maybe your avatar is causing people to make confused associations. It might be an interesting (or terrible. And terrible? Probably "and terrible") experiment to add tone highlighting to internet forums to allow you to express things like [notserious]let's add tone highlighting to internet forums[/notserious].

I just reinstalled Darkest Hour and Kaiserreich 1.5 on a new computer. Is the vulnerability/defence system still backwards in it? (i.e. do your naval units still get weaker and weaker as they go up in tech levels?)

And if so, is there an easy fix for this?

I thought the problem was just that it said defence when it meant vulnerability but the mechanics weren't affected? Either way, your units' vulnerability keeps decreasing with tech levels now.

A cool mod would be some sort of hero/spy system where you have individual units running around on the same map completing objectives (sabotaging a province, kidnapping a scientist, stealing the spear of destiny...), but they basically ignore the armies on the map and are only countered by other heroes. Just my crazy idea :)
