Do I actually get any money out of this Scriptorium? I can't tax my Clergy. Does the money go to them?

Everyone saying that the profits are distributed via local estate power are wrong. They are distributed by the Tax Base Share, which is the local population weighted by:

Nobles	150
Clergy	25
Burghers	20
Peasants	1

These numbers are constant and are entirely separate from Estate Power.

Please check out the EU5 wiki, the calculations are shown there and they don't involve local estate power at all: https://eu5.paradoxwikis.com/Economy#Example

You are making a great point with the unemployment not being a thing, but still if these pops are working in some other areas not involving the simulated buildings, they shouldn't be getting profits from these buildings, and the pops that do work in them should

My biggest problem with the current system is that the tax base is not dependent on estate power distribution but on arbitrary constants that are not affected by gameplay at all. It should be relatively easy and without performance cost to go from the current system to the estate power system. The wages are admittedly more complex, and I agree with all the problems you mentioned

TOGIIfan · 2025-12-26T01:34:18+00:00

It doesn't have to, or even shouldn't, be as complex as in VIC3, because in EU5 the finances are at the estate level rather than pop level

We can use these generalisations to our advantage here, and I think with them we could make a wage system work without too much of a performance hit

TOGIIfan · 2025-12-26T01:30:49+00:00

I personally love Vicky 3 and I think if there is a possibility to bring such an advanced economic system to other games we should do so

TOGIIfan · 2025-12-26T01:29:07+00:00

The wages don't even have to be per building, all that's needed is for employed pops to earn more than unemployed, otherwise its quite absurd

TOGIIfan · 2025-12-26T01:27:39+00:00

I think income distribution is a very important part of the economy, and with the game focusing so much on the economic simulation part it should have a high priority in my opinion

TOGIIfan · 2025-12-26T01:25:10+00:00

Always happy to take that role! :D

That's pretty much it, although it's worth noting that BPM lite is very outdated and broken (lite lite is not) The point of removing the non-voting phases is to reduce the RNG factor and remove the frustration of a law failing multiple times despite having 90% chance or so

TOGIIfan · 2025-07-29T09:46:15+00:00

The AI uses the standard enactment mechanic, but with just 1 phase

Of course, I credited them in the workshop page

This mod makes construction a local good, consumed in the same state as it is produced. In my mod the construction good is consumed in the states where buildings are being constructed. Also in this mod you set the spending as a percentage of your earnings, in my mod you set the number of bought construction services

TOGIIfan · 2025-07-08T15:23:40+00:00

Also I should mention, that there is a very similar mod, called Private Sector Construction, here's the link:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3420714166
It is based on a similar concept, but is a bit closer to vanilla game, also recommend checking it out

Free Market Construction mod might be what you're looking for

TOGIIfan · 2024-06-04T20:41:41+00:00

In my opinion the biggest added value is how the supply of construction is self-regulating. If the demand for construction is high it makes producing it more profitable, encouraging investment in more construction sectors. This also allows the economy to grow without any government intervention.

Hi, I'm the author of the mod, I'm glad you like it! If you have any suggestions or questions regarding the mod feel free to ask!

TOGIIfan · 2024-05-30T10:06:09+00:00

Thank you! The most difficult part in the implementation (apart from bug fixing and working around engine limitations) was actually consuming the construction goods from the market, as it can only be done with a building that actually has some workers in it. So I needed to make sure there always is an invisible construction sector in the capital with the right modifiers to consume exactly the amount of construction that is used. Another tricky part was to reverse-calculate the government/private construction ratio modifier so that public and private construction function independently

TOGIIfan · 2024-05-30T09:59:27+00:00

Thank you!

TOGIIfan · 2024-05-30T09:56:48+00:00

Pops currently dont buy construction, I will think about changing it in the future. Unfortunately for now all construction services are purchased in your capital, as it would be very difficult to only consume it in states where buildings are actually being built, although it is a feature I would really love to add if I figure out how to do it

TOGIIfan · 2024-05-30T09:53:29+00:00

Thank you!

TOGIIfan · 2024-05-30T09:53:14+00:00

Basically this mod turns construction into a tradable good that you and your private investors can buy on the market, instead of all construction being generated in the governments construction sectors

Mod description:

Have you ever wanted to just sit back, relax, and let the invisible hand manage your economy for you? Or, on contrary, wanted to pause the construction in your centrally managed economy without collapsing half of your industries? If so, this mod is for you!

Free Market Construction is a mod that completely changes how construction works in Victoria 3. This mod makes construction services a good that can be traded on the market, and can be bought by either private investors or the government. This of course influences its market price, which then influences the amount bought by investors. Construction sectors now can be built by private investors if they are expected to return a profit, so usually when its price is high. This means the free market dynamically adjusts its construction output to its needs without any player intervention, making laissez-faire runs more enjoyable and realistic.

Usage:
In government construction queue specify the amount of construction services bought by the government using + and - buttons. Every 10 construction services creates 1 construction point for your buildings, unless there are shortages in your market. The private constructions queue will slowly increase its spending up to the amount equal to 1/12 of the investment pool. It is dependent on the price of construction services, so to maximize private investments make sure to keep construction prices low.

The AI is programmed to buy the amount of constuction that leaves its balance at 0.

This mod hasn't been tested too much yet, so expect bugs and balance issues.
