This is an awesome mod that still works as of Aug 2025, but there's one issue/oversight with it still - when you upgrade your equipment the production cost stays the same.

Like when you upgrade your infantry equipment from just a single rifle to include grenades, sniper rifles, mortars, body armor, and reliability it still costs the exact same price as just a single crappy rifle. You can upgrade your artillery with extra ammo, reliability, improved optics, and advanced gun laying drives but again all that costs no extra.

Since you push everything to max stats with no penalty, it kinda removes one of the pillars of this games logistics, quantity vs. quality

i can help with a french translate

Is it possible to make this work with UTTNH

@Blotto if you want me to include it into the base mod you can add me and send me a Google Drive or Dropbox link for the files, but please note that I'm a bit busy lately so its would have to wait until I have time to play the game and relook at the mod.

Alternatively, you can create a sub-mod and upload to steam, setting this mod as a Required mod. Most mods with multilanguage support are done this way. The advantage of this is you wouldn't have to wait for me or coordinate with me.

Well I made a Russian translation yesterday where I can send it to you to add it to the mod.

@Blotto I don't speak Russian, sorry.

hello can you create russia translate pls!

@Laderlappen please see "Known Issues". Armor was no longer used after the first tier/WW1 infantry tech. The way the game is setup I am not able to disable that option for modern infantry gear.

Curiass doesn't show any stats besides reducing reliability. Does the armor just not show in the window, or is it bugged?

Instead of a "Cuirass" upgrade, how about renaming it to uniform so it references let's say camo

update plz

ah ok I didn't know that. Thanks!

@grzegorz you can create specific division templates and ban/prioritize specific equipment.

but if I have a variety of infantry equipment with different stats, how do I make use of them if all equipment is distributed more or less evenly within divisions?

Does anyone have a fix to let this mod work with the newest update. Activating this mode will block trucks from the logistics. Thanks in advance.

@Decypher Thanks for letting me know. While I've been consistent with low-effort maintenance to keep it up to date, any major changes or DLC (and I understand the latest patch did an overhaul on a number of things) would require personal play time to test and understand the changes, which will unfortunately be slotted after the upcoming CK3 DLC. That said, I have been meaning to get back into HOI4 so it won't be pushed off indefinitely.

otherwise truck are not used by the logistic
otherwise the mod is about compatible with the latest version
although I haven't tested with latest DLC

FYI
you need to add
```supply_truck = yes```
in the motorized file

@GotWeenies unfortunately there's no way to instruct the game to load my mod last to overwrite the same files so that my mod modifies theirs. The only way to do that is to literally copy their entire total conversion mod and change a few files then distribute it, which would be very inappropriate.

Can you do some version for most popular Total Conversions, Iron Curtain, MD, Kairseriech, WW1

It doesn't work like that. Trying to use two mods modifying the same thing is like trying to wear two different pair of shoes on the same foot; you can't. The best way to make it happen is to ask if Millennial Dawn modders would be willing to include these features.

can you do?

Unfortunately, this mod won't be compatible with any mods that modifies equipment on their own. The way HOI4 is designed modifying units or tech often equals modifying equipment.

not working with millenium dawn

@Beyond Disbelief thank you very much

Thanks for answering :)

@GaziKurt if you're talking about the statistic bloc that thing has me stumped the last time I looked at it; it was caused by some patch changes to UI sometime last year. The mod itself doesn't do anything to font colors, and I made sure the localization files don't touch that, and I can't find anywhere in the .gui file that affects color. It could be inherit to the font settings but it would require more time than I currently have to figure out.

How can i change the font color? it is an unreadable yellow font on a yellowed background.

Can you make a compatible version for The Great War Mod?

@VBCI92 Works with 1.10.* now.

@VBCI92 thanks for reminding me about the new version. Unfortunately I currently have some other priorities due to life/financial changes the earliest possible for a proper update would be next month. If someone familiar with the game mechanics can confidently say that equipments weren't touched in this patch though I'm more than happy to just change the version compatibility number to activate the mod for this version. (I won't have time to bug test or verify it, though.)

hello can you update pls?

this work with RT56?

Wierd that ZMMs (or the new variant of it atleast) seems to work tho.
Thank you for the answer tho <3

@B4skerV1lle yeah unfortunately the way equipment work if the technologies involves equipment at all (and most likley they do) they will interfere with each other especially if they are expanding/modifying vanilla equipment which has to be written in the same file.

I guess this isnt useable with Add Technologies?
They seem to change the name of Infantry and Mechanized

Is that mode causes lags because of tonns of new templates which AI create?

@Beyond Disbelief: Oh, that's somewhat extenuating then. I still think it warrants an "(Inspired by <whatshisname>'s More Variants mod.)", though, but perhaps at the bottom of the description and not up front.

@Lstor Here's a Google cache evidence from the previous version for your perusal and for anyone else who is concerned:

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:KVdtzI_kL_UJ:https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/%3Fid%3D1883374280%26searchtext%3DVariant+&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

@Lstor Thanks for your feedback. It was credited in the last 3 versions and this is the first update which I removed the credit from the description because I feel its standing by its own right when the other mod has been outdated for many more versions. I'm not sure if you can see old descriptions in the change log from public view if not I'll see what I can do to start disassociating and move separate ways from it.

Even though your mod is not a replication of the original More Variants, I find it really poor taste not to credit its owner at all in your description. *Especially* considering how you're advertising this mod in his comments section.

@Beyond Disbelief It works for me!!! Thank you.

@Banshee's Shadow updated to work with v1.9.* Please let me know if you run into any issues. There's a known issue with the UI text color but it should otherwise work. I haven't spent time to learn what they did with the UI texts.

Can you change "Cuirass" to "Body Armor" and give modern equipment the benefits please?
Would be an Improvement for me

Please update. Thank you

@Beyond Disbelief
Thank you for your information and your support.

@Nobody100 I appreciate the additional details. Without going in deep to analyze his files but based on the mod's features most likely its because his mod modifies infantry equipment.

The way HOI4 is designed "infantry" isn't so much a unit as it is based on the equipment used and he dramatically changed and added new infantry units which would create the conflict with this mod. The author of that mod likely had to create some frankenstein solution to ensure the newly created infantry types don't accidentally use up each other's equipment and decided to scrap the vanilla equipment entirely to prevent weird behavior. (Vanilla infantry automatically loads up the default infantry weapons)

Ok, the units expanded mod was the only incompatible mod I used.
Thank you for your effort to make ths mod. I hope my tests were helpfull.

I found one mod that is not compatible Units expanded here is the steam link, but I have currently no clue why it not works with your mod:https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1893841098

I am using english localization and I am playing as Japan, I tried with Germany in a fresh game, same result. I am only using NRM II wich only modifys ships ( but not convoys).
Even AA which is modified by NRM II. I tested Brasil and ever thing besides Infantry Equipment can be modified. Thats because I am confused because every other equipment even trucks works fine. I can Modify AA,AT, Rocket and normal Arty. Ican change all types of mechanized and motorized(trucks), support equipment even the convoys. I will make some tests to find out what mod conflicts with yours.
