Geoplanetical update 1.0.4: construction and economy

The Steam title is “Construction Rework & Economic Fixes - 1.0.4”, posted 30 Oct 2026 at 21:46 UTC. It is the patch that matters most for the economy guide: building, deposits, interest rates and debt all moved. I grouped the lines into systems so you can see what to recheck in a running campaign.

Construction

• Projects no longer freeze forever when money runs out.
• Sites rely more on builders and less on raw steel.
• Stalled ammunition factory expansions were fixed; ammunition orders now scale with capacity.
• You can dismantle military equipment and move military funds back to the national treasury.

Resources and ownership

• 753 real-world deposits were added across all 17 resources and 128 countries.
• Countries start with a realistic share of state ownership, from North Korea to oil states and Europe.
• New mines find domestic buyers faster.

Debt, rates and budgets

• Sovereign interest rates are more realistic.
• AI countries restructure unsustainable debt earlier, and their pension and public-service budgets improved.
• The debt dynamics panel now matches the debt chart; the Central Bank screen shows the same reserve coverage as the top bar.
• Annexing a poorer country no longer causes false income drops and unrest.

Politics and cheats

• AI parties no longer try to undo laws your government just passed.
• adopt_now and adopt_always force all of your own bills and no longer force AI bills. The command table has the current wording.
• From the 30 Oct post the same day: love_world also lifts sanctions, remove_sanctions keeps them off, and lock_love is new.
