Logistical
For all of your hoarding needs!
I enjoy the dynamic conquest game mode; specifically, the persistence of units and their inventories allows for a great depth of immersion. Depending on how one interacts with this system, it allows for a lot of emergent game play to unfold – through persistent logistics. However, I’ve felt limited and sometimes quite frustrated using multiple vehicles to hold captured equipment with the base game. So, I decided to make this mod to rectify managing several vehicles’ inventories at once, and to simplify knowing what each vehicle has. Using this, it’s a more streamlined experience managing your inventory. Personally, such inventory management and non-tactical actions rips me out of the experience, and it is a time-sink if you wish to play a more ‘back-footed’ play-style through battlefield requisitioning.
What this mod does is that it adds a single new motorized transport-like unit which is a just a simple duplicate of a faction’s standard motorized supply vehicle with massive inventory space.
For sake of balance, it is a highly costly vehicle (more expensive than many tanks). I landed on making the cost about 8-9x more expensive for one given, by itself, it has approximately the same amount of inventory space as that many vehicles. It retains the same CP cost as a single supply truck version of itself to deploy. This is my interpretation of compromising what would be an essential combat support of any force, a baggage train, and the abstraction of the inventory system.
To unlock it, it costs only 1 research point, but necessitates that you research up until your faction’s supply truck is completed.
The inventory size for all vehicles is 70×24, so you may need to move the inventory window around if running at a lower resolution. I recommend using the ‘i’ hotkey to not have to drag to close the inventory every time.
For the dynamic conquest mode only.
I have a valour version of this same mod here (only load this or that version – never together): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3555635380
Please let me know if any issues arise.
