Strategic Resources - A Ported HoI3 Mechanic

Strategic Resources - A Ported HoI3 Mechanic

This is a simple mod, made roughly within a weekend, which aims to reproduce the strategic resources mechanic from Hearts of Iron 3. The intro event (first screenshot here) explains everything you need to know about it.

Features:

• 17 unique strategic resources with icons and descriptions in 47 different locations

• 18 event pictures illustrating the resources

• A scripted GUI element showing all resources and the current controller of their location

• Custom map mode to see where the resources are

• 3 custom achievements relating to strategic resources

If you need help with the mod, I'm most easily reached via Discord, look for Temuzu at the HoI4 Modding Coop server (linked below).

Compatibility

This mod only modifies one vanilla file, countrystateview.gui, which was necessary to add the province modifiers. Roughly speaking, the mod will work with any mod that uses the vanilla map, but I wont make any promises.

This mod is free-to-use!

You're welcome to use any and all parts of this mod in your own projects. Of course, keep in mind that the original resource graphics belong to Paradox, and the various event images are also not original. You don't need to ask my permission, but I wouldn't mind hearing if this mechanic makes it into a completed mod.
