An important note here is that Military Factories and Civilian Factories are totaled to create your Consumer Goods factory number.ДЄvailable Civilian Factories: 5 (30 - 25) Democracies, and the US especially, suffers from very high Civilian Factories. Naval Dockyards (NIC): Obviously used for ships only.Д¬onsumer Goods is represented in HOI4 as a % of Factories not available to the player for construction.Build as many as your industry and resources can handle. Military Factories (MIC): Used to produce Land and Air equipment.The more Civilian Factories you have, the more you can trade for, and the more you have to produce other things, like Military Factories and Naval Factories. Civilian Factories (CIC): This is the 'base' of your industrial might.Production comes from 3 primary factory types So do not use all of your manpower for deployment. Manpower primarily comes from the % of the population your conscription laws draw from. Manpower does not 'grow' like it did in other HOI games.While units which are not fully trained suffer combat penalties, they are still units and have Soft Attack, Defense and Org. You might not like where the AI plops them down under 'Auto'. Always selected where produced ships are to be deployed, this is done in the Production screen.

Because training takes time, and because you do not need to be full ToE to begin training, it's highly advisable to begin training divisions even before you have all of the equipment.

Once production is finished for Land and Ships, they are popped out onto the map, and may be attacked. NOTE: You can no longer withold units in some magical queue. A division is automatically deployed at 100% training, and will then appear on map. Last I checked, I think a division can only train about 5% or 10% higher than it's current equipment level. Training is capped, however, based on how much equipment the Division has received. You choose a Template, an determine how many you want to train. In HOI4, you must actually Train your divisions. How you 'build' a division is completely different than previous HOI games. This applies globally.ДЇor Air Wings: Priority is set at the Air Wing level, from the airbase window. Template: Templates can have a priority set, which is a sub-priority of the above priorities. Theaters Window: Set priority for individual theaters.Дivision: There is no method of prioritization that I'm aware of for the division level. There are prioritization levels for equipment.Дeployment Screen: Prioritize Replacements, Upgrades and individual deployment groups.

Stockpiles: If the 3 needs above are met, the equipment will go into a stockpile and wait for it to be needed.

Construction: Units which are currently being trained will request equipment until their ToE is full.

Upgrades: Units who have old equipment, will request Upgrades for the newer, shinier stuff.

Replacements: Units which are under their ToE, will request Reinforcements.

When equipment is produced, except for Ships, that equipment is sent into one of 4 areas: Reinforcements, Upgrades, Constructions & Stockpiles Our efficiency is reduced, and we only receive 60% of our IC for that Line. So we are missing 40% of our total resources. So we have 5/5 Alum, 2/5 Rubber and 2/5 Oil. Let's say we are short 3 rubber and 3 oil. We are using 5 factories, for a total need of 5 each of Alum, Rubber & Oil. When a production line is suffering from insufficient resources, it's IC efficiency is reduced by the amount of missing resources.ДЄ Fighter might need 1xAlum, 1xRubber, 1xOil per factory. Unused resources are considered to be used somewhere else. Resources are available from a 'per day' amount of resources. When enough IC has been applied, equipment will roll off of that assembly line.ДЄll equipment consumes Resources. So the amount of IC applied to a line each day, is determined by the number of factories * factory IC output. Each factory produces X amount of IC, which varies with technology.

Each piece of equipment has it's inherent IC cost, and production speed is based off of the IC cost. Each Line can have up to 15 Factories or Naval Yards assigned. In a production sense, battleships are even equipment.Д®quipment is produced via 'lines'. Equipment encompasses all things you will use to fight a war. Instead you produce equipment, which when married with manpower, creates divisions. The firsts thing, which is wildly different than any other HOI, is that you no longer 'produce' divisions. Hey guys, so here is some information about production. Politics (not a 'how to', general info only) (note: some content may not be available until release) I'll try to compile all things here in the OP.
