This could be helpful in learning the lines of code needed for something, or how something affects something.Hearts of Iron 4’s upcoming No Step Back DLC is making some meaty changes to the Soviet Union. If it works (I haven't checked/tested out it).

For that, you're probably best taking apart other mods and seeing how they do it (which, besides the wiki, is the best way to learn modding generally). You may also need to create ideas so that your national foci can have permanent effects (and also so that your country has hireable advisors).Ĭreating country specifc tech is pretty advanced as you need to know how to mod the interface itself to make it show up on the research screen.
