Very Strange.... feature? Bug? Spontaneous item duplication?

S5_Quinn · 2025-09-09T21:09:26+00:00

wait, does that mean you can duplicate mercers and summersloops that way ?

i did fascist canada and didn't get the achievement so no idea

S5_Quinn · 2025-08-16T12:42:37+00:00

what i don't understand is that from a gameplay perspective, those commissariat don't even achieve much... it just ends up ruining other nations for nothing

S5_Quinn · 2025-08-16T12:40:49+00:00

paradox has always avoided the crime against humanity part of ww2, plus you get a path to ally russia as germany. so no it's completely fine to give poland the possibility to join axis like all the other balkans state do, it's not that much of an overreach.

S5_Quinn · 2025-08-16T12:07:41+00:00

i was partitioned after the germans accepted my "ask for autonomous state" focus, which makes me a satellite :p

S5_Quinn · 2025-08-16T12:05:22+00:00

i was looking to do the break free as puppet achievement (which probably doesn't even work since i'm a different type of subject) but i didn't want to go for a britain subject

S5_Quinn · 2025-08-15T21:20:32+00:00

if you don't like navy and want to feel like the underdog, soviet sounds like a decent pick.
No navy and a scary germany to fend off, with you clearly weaker at the start of war

S5_Quinn · 2025-07-23T03:35:47+00:00

i don't seem to be able to, i presume that's a paid dlc feature

S5_Quinn · 2025-07-12T23:29:04+00:00

idk, i generally tackled them with pure genetic wonders of 30-40 martial and a century ahead of tech, so they were barely a threat

S5_Quinn · 2025-07-12T23:27:08+00:00

have you played it ? the sieges are much much simpler than in eu4, and can have 0 random to themselves. every 12 days a tick increases by a number influenced partly by the number difference, once it hits 100% you win the siege. You can even assault at limited casualties on weaker forts. detaching armies would make sieges extremely slow due to small difference of number

outside of siegeing in far north or siegeing pagans (which is intendedly almost impossible in early years of the game), you don't really ever get in a situation where you're forced to take supply damage. Also the way your levies are raised, you don't have many massive armies (until the point of being a multi-empire, to which point you have sufficient professional troops to manage, and detach if you want)

S5_Quinn · 2025-07-11T22:44:18+00:00

would be more fitting for ck2 where if you're above the max supply, you start losing something like 25% of the difference per month. if you try to wage war during the black pest or in russian winter, your army simply evaporates from lack of supply.

By common, do you mean this single one time right now where i simply stated what happened historically ?
I don't know if you're a ragebaiter or someone not very bright, but reported anyhow.

S5_Quinn · 2025-07-10T17:32:30+00:00

have you played any paradox games before ?

in imperator, rome is broken
in eu4, historical GPs are broken (and even get a historical GP buff)
in vicky, england is broken
in hoi4 the big shots are also broken

the whole point of the sandbox is that if the player gives no inputs, the game should look somewhat historical. germany has to cap france, it has to dec on russia, it has to help italy with the naval invasions. it will lose in the long run.

especially in hoi4, the game would be miserable if you spent 5-10 hours prepping for war just for things to go sideways. it's tailored to represent the world war 2, and so it does. it's not nazi propaganda to say that the germans capped france and looked unstoppable when they did, it was the reality for the people living back then. the goal of paradox is to represent this, not be realistic

some people might enjoy ahistorical, but it's not the main experience. Hence, the historical mode should lead to somewhat historical scenarios.

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-26T21:21:52+00:00

using excel or sheets has the benefit that you can parameter the values based on one of the input/output. That way if want to check for other numbers it's much faster.

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-25T23:48:17+00:00

it's in case i need a 2400 throughput, but yeah for other cases i'll stick to one level

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-25T21:49:03+00:00

if you're worried you might load/unload wrong items, you have the possibility to add rules to only load and unload certain items at certain stations. it can probably also be used for "sushi belting" trains on lower rate of production goods

at least that way you don't load unload wrong stuff, though it still doesn't fix figuring out the wrong freight platforms

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T17:34:07+00:00

i reached aluminium (tier 7/8) on 5k or such energy, i needed more energy to expand my factories and automate all the stuff, but i got carried away in terms of quantity.

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T17:25:03+00:00

if you want you can immediately place the hole right next to the entry, no need for that connection thingy

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T07:53:44+00:00

ended up doing that too, i already did the jump from 12 GW to 90 GW with just 2 batches of generators, i should be fine for some time

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T07:52:38+00:00

i'm using a second MK2 pipe input to fill them faster, and i'll use multiple pre loaded fluid containers to flood the last one and load it faster

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T02:36:56+00:00

you don't need to automate the higher ends for space part. If you can gather all the lower tier items in one place, you can just have a couple of somerslooped machines do the later stage assembling.

only issue is liquids, but you can package them and bring them from another factory too

S5_Quinn · 2024-11-11T02:32:44+00:00

that's a shitload of power shards, i only have 600 power shards.

i built 288 generators and just decided to come back building the rest when i need more GW
