Victoria 3 - Dev Diary #71 - Autonomous Investment in 1.2

[Wizzington]

Autobuilding of Railways based on infra instead of profit is going to be a godsend for playing larger countries. Will this be implemented for regular auto-expand too?

Not currently but should be easy enough to do.

So in Agrarianism the Capitalists do invest but no capitalist-buildings get built or?

Agrarianism in 1.2 has a few buildings for Capitalists to invest in, like Logging Camps and Fisheries.

I don't quite understand about the contribution efficiency, is this 100 contributed by capitalists will become 150?

Yes. We try to avoid creating/destroying money as much as possible but in cases like this the alternative is worse. The long term goal is to find a place for all such wealth to go/come from, like Tax Waste going to some sort of corruption system or similar.

 

[Wizzington]

Why not do the opposite? I.E. capitalists pay 100 but the effincy is only 70% so the money that gets into the pool is only 70. I think it would be slightly more believable, as it could be explained by legislation and bureaucracy limitations.

This is also the case if efficiency is low.
