ACA： Automatic Construction Assistant

Streamline Your Nation’s Growth with ACA: Automatic Construction Assistant for Hearts of Iron IV

Managing your nation’s industrial expansion in Hearts of Iron IV can be a demanding task. Manually selecting states, calculating infrastructure benefits, and constantly refilling your construction queue consumes valuable time and strategic focus. Enter ACA: Automatic Construction Assistant, a powerful mod designed to transform your national construction into a fully automated process.

Effortless Industrial Planning

Once activated, ACA takes the reins of your construction projects. It intelligently analyzes your core states, considers crucial factors like construction modifiers, available building slots, and existing infrastructure levels, and then formulates optimal construction plans. ACA continuously monitors your construction queue, automatically replenishing it as buildings are completed, ensuring your industrial capacity is always maximized.

Three Powerful Automatic Modes

ACA offers a versatile approach to automation with three distinct modes:

• Long-Term Civilian Planning (1000 Days): This mode focuses on cumulative civilian factory output over a decade, projecting future building slots based on upcoming industry technology tiers to maximize long-term growth.
• Short-Term Civilian Planning (180 Days): Prioritizing rapid gains, this mode utilizes currently available building slots to boost civilian factory production over the next six months.
• Military Mode: Optimized for war readiness, this mode evaluates various modifiers to identify states where military factories can be built most efficiently, directly constructing military factories without infrastructure upgrades.

Intelligent Infrastructure Management

ACA’s Long-Term Civilian Planning algorithm meticulously evaluates various development paths. It considers constructing civilian factories directly, upgrading infrastructure before factory construction, or pursuing a multi-stage infrastructure upgrade path. The mod calculates the cumulative value of each option over 1000 days, only selecting infrastructure routes that offer superior long-term benefits compared to immediate factory construction. Furthermore, ACA imposes limits on concurrent infrastructure projects, ensuring that your nation’s construction lines remain dedicated to essential factory building, preventing infrastructure development from overwhelming your industrial capacity.

Seamless Integration and Control

ACA provides a fully automated experience, initiating a comprehensive national plan upon mode activation and continuously updating the construction queue daily. The mod also periodically re-evaluates national conditions. You can switch between modes at any time, and ACA will seamlessly recalculate your national plan. A convenient “Recover After Deleted Construction” decision is available to address any manual queue modifications. Additionally, you can customize infrastructure construction on a per-state basis using intuitive icons, allowing for granular control over your automated development.
