Truman expounded a foreign policy which became known as the Truman doctrine, a doctrine whose main purpose was to contain the threat posed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Let us assume, a non binding assumption of course, that the Cold War began in 1947, in March, when American President Harry S. Our princess, a minor character from Dune, a rather disappointing science fiction film from 1984, was indeed mentioned in a few issues of our blog / bulletin / thingee since October 2017, but back to our story. Indeed, do you know when the Cold War began, my erudite reading friend? Well, do you?Īnd yes, this is but one of the many questions any museum working on a Cold War exhibition project might consider grappling with.Īnd yes, you are quite correct, my reading friend. Japan is a good example of a nation that may run into a situation during the war when their usage far outstrips their potential fuel gain, so they will need to have a decent reserve of fuel if they want to fight the US in the Pacific.If I may be permitted to quote princess Irulan Corrino, eldest daughter of the 81st Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV, a beginning is a very delicate time. Also, increasing stockpile capacity requires some investment, and will take space away from industry through the production of silo facilities. Stockpile potential will be reduced by economy laws for many nations. Most nations will not start with a large stockpile capacity. This gives developers and modders much better granular control over the output of a synthetic refinery.įor countries that will not have enough fuel production during wartime to meet their needs, developing a healthy stockpile is an option. Previously, tech increases could only allow for a minimum increase of a single unit of oil. This both makes more sense from a historical perspective and makes it easier to control how much resource is produced by refineries. Refineries have also been changed from giving Oil resources to giving hourly fuel. The arrows indicate that fuel is currently being gained. The green bar indicates the state of the stockpile, showing how full it is. The numbers will become red if fuel is being lost. Here the number is green and indicates that the stockpile will be full in 361 days. The numbers show the amount of time you have before being full or dry. With this UI element we convey a few bits of information. We have added fuel as a resource to the top bar. Oil refining was and is not as simple as simply processing it into a multipurpose “fuel,” but we felt that this simplification was necessary for gameplay and consistency of depth of detail. We have removed this abstraction but are still using a simplified version of what happens in the real world. This was an abstraction done for fuel consuming equipment. When the game launched, oil was used as other resources for the purpose of production. Hello and welcome back for the first dev diary of 2019! Today we will update you on the state of fuel as well as show you a little something many people have wanted for a long time.Ĭhanges and Updates to the Fuel Implementation
