Reminder that SteIIaris has its own general and discussion of the game doesn't go here. Thank you.

We don't have an official steam or discord group. If anyone posts in the thread about any "official" or not steam or discord groups, promising MP or not, be sure it's a shitposter group known for organizing raids and shitposting in the thread. They are known for false-flagging.
Report and ignore it.

How fares your empire, /gsg/?

This day in history, June 17th:
1244 – Following the Disputation of Paris, twenty-four carriage loads of Jewish religious manuscripts were burnt in Paris.
1631 – Mumtaz Mahal dies during childbirth. Her husband, Mughal emperor Shah Jahan I, will spend the next 17 years building her mausoleum, the Taj Mahal.
1885 – The Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor.
1900 – Boxer Rebellion: Allied Western and Japanese forces capture the Taku Forts in Tianjin, China.
1940 – World War II: RMS Lancastria is attacked and sunk by the Luftwaffe near Saint-Nazaire, France. At least 3,000 are killed in Britain's worst maritime disaster.

Does the addition of Manchuko to the /gsg/ General changes mod not fuck Japan over with the way supply flows from ports?

You hand their only decent mainland port over to Manchuko, giving Japan no way to directly upgrade it to the level required to get a decent amount of supply throughput to its troops in a war in Northern China.

I should add that Southern China fighting remains fine, as you do naval landings along the coast there, but the North is completely starved of supply until you can take the Beijing area port, and givben that China reinforces that area heavily, on top of shitty terrain and low supply, its a complete bloodbath for the Japanese side, the AI has absolutely no idea how to deal with it, which is why when using the General Changes mod, the AI Japan is even more shit than usual.

One thing I forgot to talk about until now is vanilla bug fixes. I fixed one with bureaucrats that made more difficult for them to promote to capitalists and find out the same thing happened for artisans. So both have an easier time promoting now if the conditions are right.

The other one was a bug that stopped pops from demanding the "good minimum wage" reform, which in turn made the AI never take it. Now pops will push for all minimum wage reforms and the AI will use them all. So there will be a little more money to buy stuff now.

There was a few bugfixes in HPM too, the decision for Kazakhstan to move their capital was firing non stop because the capital isn't moved to the right place. Still can't figure out what's wrong with that, maybe decisions have a limit of number of effects they can have. Needs more testing.

Are there any other hoi 4 mods worth using along side the general fixes?

Anyway, I still need to decide on the safety regulations stuff. I will keep factory maintenance and cost but I still need to decide the effects for RGO and Artisans.

Since the "safety regulations" legislation also involved indemnity for accidents, I guess I could keep the effects and to avoid people being poorer I could add a small pensions increase according to reform level. What about the needs effects for pops though, the main thing I want to get rid off? Should pops consume less, more? Should it change at all? I guess the last reform could increase pop growth ever so slightly as people aren't dying left and right, but that would be kinda OP. Would be doable if it was scaled with pensions spending but that can't be done.

No, it will include only Austria. The problem right now is that the greater germany things fucks too much stuff. Austria is forced to have less cores (and less money because of it) and use a CB to get their territory back while this kind of stuff with the austrian/hungarian province happens.

>>145753953
I don't, sorry. I have BSF V2 but I'm afraid that won't work with 3.04. There were also a few updated for the filter IIRC so it wouldn't look exactly the same as the latest versions.

Yeah; the music defs are easily cross-compatible; they got at least that right. So long as there's no file name collisions they should always be cross compatible (there's one song name collision, erika, but it's the same song for the same country so it doesn't really matter, just throws an error in the logs)

to clarify: it's basically gonna be compatible with any mod that doesn't add music using files named this.

It's possible there could be a collision in the music file names, but if so they're likely to be the same song so it's probably not a disaster.

There are likely one of a few problems:

1) they didn't realize it needs to be ogg. simple enough to fix.
2) they wrote their .asset file wrong or didn't write one at all. simple to fix.
3) they wrote their songs.txt wrong or didn't write one at all. Harder to fix, but depending on what you want simple enough.
