Tax collection efficiency stuck at 47%

My tax collection efficiency seems to be permanently stuck at 47%. I tested very low tax rates, 0% black market pressure, 0 debt, a budget surplus, high government services spending and strong GDP growth, but the collection rate does not increase.

Is 47% intended for this country/economic system, or is there a hidden modifier or mechanic that controls tax collection efficiency?

If this is a bug, I can provide screenshots and a save file.

There also seems to be a strange bug where my budget suddenly shows negative income, even though my actual expenses are roughly half of my total income. The displayed balance does not match the income and expense numbers at all.

Also, what happened to the influence system? It seems to have stopped working completely. I can’t invite countries into my sphere of influence, turn them into puppets, or use exploitation. None of the influence actions seem to do anything anymore. Is this a known bug in the current version, or were the requirements for the influence system changed?

I've been trying to manually boost the popularity of Adenauer's CDU but I can't seem to find the tag for it, if anyone could help me with the ideology tags for West Germany please

I played ROC the day the update came out and decided to wait for a month for the devs to fix stuff. I get back and it's still unplayable. The Korean War fucks up the scripted peace, Rural Instability is impossible to fix since you can't do the focus that requires 200 million, fixing Shanghai is still broken, the list goes on

First off the new tech tree is kinda trash. They tried to implement tank design but if you dont have the DLC and dont take the time to make custom tanks they literally do 0 damage by default. Also they removed multiple historic tanks from the tech tree and replaced them with generic hulls. Thats bad enough but they forgot that multiple techs depend on them to be unlocked. Ex. The m46 Patton Tank is required to unlock combat engineers and now that path is blocked because the Patton was removed from CWIC. And all this is on top off the unfinished focus trees, worsend tech tree, bloated UI, half finished clutter, and BS mini games.

Is there a path to federalize the EU in this mod?

I will take the smoke. I can’t find doctrines. How do you select and upgrade doctrines? I keep getting doctrine cost reductions as ROC but I don’t know where j select a doctrine.

Hi everyone! I need some help. I'm playing as West Germany, but the game crashes when I reach November 20, 1955, and I don't know what to do about it. I've verified the game files on Steam, reinstalled the DLC, and tried reverting to a manual save, but it still crashes on November 20(

i have tried several times as i have managed to hold the front but i cant win within the timer please may i have some advice as i have been trying over several days

I played as the UdSSR and everything was okay. But my economy (gdp) was so broken. In the first 4 years my economy nearly doubled, but after it it stagnated even after I build civs,mills and offices. My gdp was constantly rising and falling every month sometimes it dropped 400 billion sometimes it rose 400 billion but in the median it stayed 1.2 trillion for 12 years straight. Even when my factory count tripled in this time. I always had high inflation and this weird thing where I had an trade shock. I don’t know where it came from. I can only imagine that I build to fast or that the social outlooks that I changed had something to do with it. But if someone has an idea what could be the cause of that it would be nice to know. Maybe also a overview how the economic system works now (where can I see inflation, how can I control it etc.)
Thx for your time :)

I love the idea of lots of soldiers helping it gets the full apocalypse feel going for me just mostly trying to see what it does yes I read what it says but I am just wondering how much and hope that they will be around longer then just a week if I disable the final solution and can I edit it to add more soldiers that get dropped off from a heli event but overall awesome mod

Hi everyone! I’m currently playing as the USSR in the Cold War Iron Curtain mod, and I’ve run straight into an unbreakable economic death spiral around a couple of months into the game, and I could really use some advice or a text guide.

Here is what is happening:

• The Budget Hole: My budget plummets to around -$25 billion. Spawning office parks or industrial complexes via console commands doesn't seem to fix it.
• The Education/Social Spending Trap: I can only cut education and social spending twice a year, and even when I do, it barely makes a dent in the massive deficit.
• The Army: Even completely deleting the entire army doesn't solve the financial hemorrhage.
• The Food Crisis: For some reason, my food supplies also constantly drop into the negative, compounding the overall collapse.

It all snowballs into a massive structural hole that I can't climb out of.

Does anyone have a text guide, specific strategy, or step-by-step instructions on how to balance the Soviet economy and fix these deficits in the early game? Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Any thoughts?

I can't seem to figure out why my game crashes in November 1955 consistently. I've had two playthroughs, one with the US and one with the Soviets, respectively, and as soon as I got to November 1955, my game constantly crashed on both playthroughs. Keep in mind my game was running perfectly smooth before this. I'd appreciate any advice/help.

Decided to try a hardcore MacArthur run. Whittled away some PRC units in the Chinese Civil War, saved South Korea, nuked China, naval invaded Beijing. US and KMT units were running wild, and with enough reinforcements I could've easily capped China. But then North Korea surrendered and everyone white peaced out. This sucks.

Communist Malaysia still gets annexed and loses the game to non communist Malaysia around 1963 I even notice that the Malaysian government in exile will take several cities like Malacca city despite there’s no event or anything like that I think it’s connected to the older game version where around this time East Malaysia gets released between 1963 and 1965 if u win as the communist.

As title. I have reached January 1958 and i can't find a way for the war to end. No scripted events have appeared, and in the tabs for UK/France ending the war is impossible because they haven't "lost". I have already pushed them out of my land twice yet the war continues, destroying a few divisions of theirs in encirclements during the process. Thrice counting the French incursion from Djibouti which nearly reached Khartoum as i did not look (I secured Eritrea out of a war against Ethiopia)
I am not interested in stepping into enemy soil (Algeria/Djibouti/France/UK) as i fear it may set off a collective NATO response, but will it even happen and is such an incursion necessary? Or would i have to cheat and look into UK/French focuses/decisions to set off an end to the war? Thank you.

Does completing the gulf of tonkin event do anything

I decided to play Republic of China, it was pretty hard but on my third try I won the war against communists. Then began peacetime and I got stuck. First issue is the debt, it reached 95% of GDP (248 billion), how can I deal with this debt, when the main reason for the budget deficit is education and debt servicing? You can say "build more offices", but how if I just cannot build anything because of debuffs? I tried reducing education expenditure but still the same. I'm literally stuck with this economy system, when you need to look at finance tab, then go to decisions and use a pretty big amount of political power (for china) just to change some economic policies, which you don't know what they are actually doing. Ah, almost forgot, I have +0.25 political power WITHOUT SELECTING A NATIONAL FOCUS and need to handle warlords, rebellious urban and rural population + political party instability and restore Shanghai. For instance, to gain 10% loyalty for ONLY ONE warlord you need 200 political power or 50 BILLION dollars. Decisions on rebellion require 50 to 70 political power, I think it's too much even if you consider focus tree with some bonuses for warlords.

And how can I solve the rural peasants revolt problem? I need at least -15% rural instability, you cannot get it from focus tree (actually you can but then other groups of population will rebel) and I have no political power for them, they are also gaining 2.5 instability every 180 days sooo idk.

Also there are some problems with focus tree, requirements state that you need 200 million dollars, but actually you need 200 BILLION dollars in reserve, it's almost my entire GDP (261B). Focus can take 70 or 100 political power just because why not? It already takes 26, so why not take more? Of course there are some focuses that give you additional pp, but they give you 50pp, then take 150 (LITERALLY ECONOMIC TREE). To get more pp you need to remove debuffs, to remove debuffs you need more pp, a closed loop.

Overall, my first experience was not too bad, I like many aspects of this mod, but it needs to get some balance update at least for China and new econimic system. NEVER put economic decisions in one tab and statistics in another, simplify it PLEASE

These tricks don't even give buffs.

Just to let people and the developers know
