you must modify the default.unit file. Find the buildng which produces every commodity, go to the end of its row, find the last number "90" and go 7 comma backwards. There is a number related with the raw materials that consumes this building. Each material has a specific number. If more than one are consumed, then you must type the sum of their specific numbers. These numbers are:

agri 1
water 2
timber 4
oil 8
coal 16
ore 32
uranium 64
power 128
consumer 256
industry 512
military 1024

so you must add the number 4 if you want to include timber.

It is not easy to build a perfect trade model. Experiment and provide information!

Have you excluded orbats from cache as I suggested? It shouldn't take more than 2-5min to cache if orbats are excluded...

With that line excluded, it will take few minutes max to create the cache file.
Thanks, I didnt pay attention to it.

forgive me. I forgot to tell you about orbat excluding. To be more accurate, I don't exclude orbats with //, but I cut the orbat files from the folder, leaving the orbat of my model region, greece. This because I make changes in my region's army in every caching. I make changes in many files at every caching, and when I run the game I debug..

now I will change the "coal gasification plant" to consume timber instead of coal. It will be a form of biodiesel from wood. This will give to timber a demand boost, and an energy resource to non opec countries with high tech level (and forests)

I dont think the caching is whats going to take the longest. Its going to be running the game for 20-50 years to see if those changes are balanced withen the game.

instead of converting timber to oil you can convert timber to coal. This, by modding the oil-coal synthetic to cokerie plant.

Well 20 - 50 years with current game engine is almost impossible just for testing... :)

Is it possible to mod AI minister priorities?
I think USA is set to massive military buildup and they go bankrupt every time, they built 111/70/10/250 military fabrications now... And they are in war with Cuba and Libya now so its useless. they keep building until run out of money and keep taking loans so the debt is 9 billions now and treasury 47,400 M and it keeps decreasing as I write... and till i finish writing military is 114/70/10/250
China for example is at war aswel but they dont build that much...

I don't understand what means Mr ruges with this post.

What do you want to change in minister priorities?

The build rate perhaps will be connected with region's agenda in the .cvp file.

But I don't think that AI gives minister priorities.

USA start the game with 7 billion in treasury and 8.7 billion in debt, military build capacities 34/27/10/250 and they are in war with Libya.
And they start massively build military fabrications until they run out of money, they start to pay off bonds in the beginning but after they get into the bonds again and even deeper.
So I want to make them to dont build so much...
EDIT : They are getting negative treasury every game
