Disable Some Research for Early Start
This mod provides three scripts available from Scripts menu in the game that allow you to unlock either:
– Distribution Offices
– Wind power
– Woodcutting Planting
– Rail Distribution Offices (added Jan 2025)
Distribution Offices can be used already in the game without any research at a Party HQ, providing you only use the free vanilla assets. You are not able to construct your own DO’s, such as those that would include re-fueling facilities, even if you are going to use a cheap modded asset appropriate to an early start, or are using a DO with horse-drawn vehicles and no refueling enabled. This script removes this restriction.
Wind power had been invented in the 19th century. If you want to construct some modded assets suitable for an early start that can provide some power using wind where you have no power plants, then this script removes this restriction.
Woodcutters had planted new trees in managed woods, and coppicing and pollarding had been used since Medieval times to encourage trees to grow back quickly.
Rail Distribution Offices were available as railyards/rail goods yards/marshalling yards by the end of the 19th century. This script removes the restriction.
Note the developers have not provided a Research Lock command to use in a script. If you run the scripts and save your game then you cannot undo this.
