Better Concentrated Industry
Concentrated Industry Buff – Balanced Industrial Research
Making Concentrated Industry viable again.
This lightweight mod rebalances the Concentrated Industry research path in Hearts of Iron IV to bring it in line with the performance and flexibility of Dispersed Industry. No new techs, no fancy reworks – just clean, effective balance changes that make choosing Concentrated Industry a real strategic decision.
What This Mod Does
- Buffs Concentrated Industry bonuses to make them competitive with Dispersed Industry.
- Improves production efficiency and throughput without altering the research structure.
- Retains full compatibility with vanilla visuals and UI.
- Ideal for players who prefer centralized, high-output factory setups but feel punished for choosing them in vanilla.
Why Buff Concentrated Industry?
In the base game, Concentrated Industry often falls behind due to weak late-game scaling and vulnerability to bombing. This mod corrects that imbalance, giving the branch stronger economic advantages to match its higher risk profile – without breaking the game.
Compatibility
- Game Version: Compatible with any 1.16 "Countenance" version.
- Ironman: Not Ironman compatible.
- Multiplayer: Works in multiplayer (all players must use the mod).
- Other Mods: Incompatible with mods that change industry research bonuses or tech effects.
