Better Mechanics : State Categories

Hello Everyone!

This mod adds more variety to state categories with various buffs. It nerfs while allowing you to develop your states to more desirable levels. This mod strives to make gameplay more considerate and make you think about where you build your factories. Will you flock to your cities or develop far-off regions for your state security (Or both ???)?

**

• We have Added different fixes, buffs, and nerfs for all regions depending on their type. The difference between good and bad land will be even more dramatic. For example, the USSR will put more effort into building Siberia and get less in return, while traditionally industrially developed regions will be more powerful.

• Now, you can upgrade the state category by using on-map decisions, giving you building slots that take advantage of the "max factories in a state" bonus.

• You must research construction 1 and either dispersed or concentrated industries to decide whether to show up.

• The cost of each state upgrade can vary from state to state, with the lower state categories costing 50 pp for 5 civilian factories and taking 70 days, and the top ones at 200 pp for 20 factories and 300 days. State Modifiers are updated accordingly

• For a state to be eligible, it has to be a core, requiring a population level and state infrastructure level 4. After completion, 2 levels of infrastructure will be removed. You cannot upgrade states with the impassable modifier.

• The state categories bonuses can be updated: I added a decision for the player to refresh the state modifiers every time they click on them, so lag is minimized and you can control the game more!

• Made some cosmetic changes to state categories, namely by changing their colors and their names

Future Plans

• Add different resistance effects depending on state categories

• Add different population growth factors to state categories

• If you have any suggestions on state categories, leave them in the comments!
