Engines and Explosives

This mods adds Engines and Explosives resources to the game, and adjust the equipment resources costs. Tungsten is only used for anti-tank weaponry, now regular artillery requires explosives. All vehicles requires engines too.

Unlike base game resources, they are not extracted by states, they need to be produced by special factory buildings. Engines factories consume Steel, while explosives factories do not consume anything. Industrial technology can increase both the efficiency of these factories and decrease the resources consumed by them.

Important note: Because of how building's state modifiers works, even if you delete the buildings, the resource cost in the state remains. I might try to find a fix later, though, I don't know anyone who destroy buildings at all.

All major power starts with enough factories for their initial production, though they will need to expand their factories to keep up with the increasingly high demands of both aviation and tank forces.

The AI is able and will build new factories when it needs new ones (either they have a resource deficit or they import a lot of the resources), as long as it has enough raw resources for that.

This mod was more done as an experiment, to see if I could make a new types of resources that could only be produced by consuming other resources. As a result, I don't really intend to develop this mod any further. Feel free to use this mod in any project of yours or to develop it further.
