Today we're kicking off a new round of Dev Corners, this time turning our attention to a project we haven't touched on yet. We'll start with some early questions around ideas we have in mind, while future Dev Corners here will get a lot more specific about the country and content drafts we'd like your opinions on. Let’s start with some general design questions, just to see what kind...

Anyways, without further ado, let’s get started with today’s topic - Military Production. And once again I will resort to acting a bit mysteriously, while asking some questions. Military Production operates on an abstracted pool of the factories, which means...
- Community AnnouncementsHOI IV Dev Corner | Civilian Economy & Consumer GoodsHello, I am Zwirbaum, Game Designer for Hearts of Iron, and uncharacteristically for me, instead of writing an entire wall of text, I am just going to ask a couple of questions that are very much tied to the ‘Economy’ side of the gameplay. And those are as follows: How do you feel about the ‘Civilian Economy’ that currently exists within the game - as in anything that relates to the building co...

Why Hearts of Iron IV mods break
A mod is compiled against one version of a game. When the game updates, anything that reached into the parts that moved stops working, and it usually stops working silently rather than with a message that explains itself.
That is what the table above counts. It is not a guess: each row is a mod the community has reported as broken by that specific release. The number is a fair measure of how disruptive an update was, and it is the reason people delay updating a game they have modded heavily.
Common questions
Does IndexGG host Hearts of Iron IV mods?
No, and it never will. Every download link points at the author's own page on Nexus, GitHub, CurseForge or wherever they published it. We index the ecosystem; the files stay with the people who made them.
Where does the compatibility data come from?
From the communities that maintain it in the open, not from guesswork. Each claim carries how it is known, so a reported breakage is never presented as though the author said it.
Why is a mod listed as broken when it works for me?
Compatibility depends on your exact game version and the rest of your load order. A mod marked as broken in one release may work fine on an older one, which is exactly why the version is recorded next to the claim rather than a bare yes or no.
