Dev Teasers
Dev Teasers (Formerly Dev Diaries) is an Old World Blues Discord channel for developers to share Work-In-Progress concepts and showcases.
Background
Originally a channel for showcasing Development Diaries, the Development Diaries were later relegated to Reddit posts, while Dev Teasers became an area of showcasing developer developments. With the introduction of Discord Threads in 2021, Dev Teasers expanded to incorporate individual Threads for developers to comment and potentially elaborate on fan questions and commentary.

Game Stability: Great!
Ports: In Lines of Code total: 309,730
Development: Full speed ahead!
I am very excited about our prospects for release, I think the mod is going to make waves, other people think of a project like this to be impossible but through an immense amount of perservation and refusal to let the project to die it has begun to come together beautifully. I'm surprised and yet honoured there's still people around here waiting for the release, hopefully it will be a worthwhile and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Yes, life here is simple, rustic, and downright apocalyptic...

From humble foundations, the Texas Chapter has thrived through its alliance with the Texas Rangers. Every citizen of the Brotherhood knows how to use a gun, and is ready to defend their home at a moment's notice. It's just a shame the state is almost broke...

We're going all the way back to Dev Diary 13 (aptly named Old World Blues), in which we didn't show off much of the Mojave Brotherhood's tree because the localisation wasn't yet complete.

Happy: last week we discussed one of the handful of non-cannon fallout games: Van Buren. In this week's development diary, we'll be talking about another two: Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel and Brotherhood of Steel 2. While you may have heard some odd things about the games, you've probably not played them: luckily for you, however, we'll be exploring them in the Texas update. Of particular note amongst the various characters in the two games is Attis, a Supermutant general keen to show Super Mutants' true strength. In F:BoS1, the protagonist (a lowly Brotherhood initiate) killed Attis before he could spawn legions of new Super Mutants, and Attis's army shattered. Pieces of it remained, however - pieces the joy that is @Zusk has today explored for you in Dev Diary 24: Attis's Legacy! Come join us :))

Happy: in the rugged terrain of Colorado, there lives a Goddess. Her beauty is beyond comparison, and her wisdom surpasses all those who call the Wasteland their home. Her name is Diana, and her tribe the Twin Mothers. From her Nursery, Diana would subvert the residents of Vault 29 into worshipping her, as she intended to continue her ambitions centuries after she became one with the ZAX. However, the Wasteland is a cruel master, and Diana has but a small tribe. Join us on Reddit to explore how she can, and cannot, make her way in the Wasteland as @Zusk brings you another week of fun in Dev Diary 25: Paradise

September 15, 2020
Happy: once upon a time, there was a man called Edward Sallow. Well educated and a born-and-raised Follower of the Apocalypse, Sallow was a talented linguist and one of the Wasteland's brightest minds. After reading books of the great Julius Caesar in the back of a cart on the way to his first Followers posting, Sallow's life was forever changed when he was captured by the Blackfoot tribe: alongside his fellow Follower Bill Calhoun and the Canaanite Joshua Graham. Despite the objections of Calhoun, Sallow offered his services to the Blackfoot: teaching them tactics and drilling them into shape. The Blackfoot, at war with seven tribes and hopelessly outnumbered, accepted Sallow as their unlikely warchief. From the first tribe to fall, the Ridgers, to the eighty-sixth, the Twisted Hairs, Sallow led his men to victory after victory, employing ruthlessly brutal tactics and erasing the identities of every tribe he conquered from history. In their place Sallow proclaimed his Rome, and himself the new Caesar: a twisted mockery of the empire he had read about long ago.
Now, the year is 2275. Caesar stands at the shores of his Rubicon: the Colorado river. By his side stand his loyal generals: Vulpes, Aurelius, Lucius and the Malpais Legate Joshua Graham, ready to execute his every command. At the back of his head, a dull throb of pain grows. How will you shape Caesar's path? Come join us for Dev Diary 26: I Came, I Saw, I Conquered

Lanius. His name is whispered among the Legionnaires and slaves across the Empire. All know of his conquests, and all know of his glory. Far to the east, Lanius serves Mars and Caesar with ruthless perfection. Far to the east, Lanius shall set Texas free. Far to the east, Lanius amasses tribute to aid his Caesar's conquests. No matter Caesar's orders, Lanius obeys. One day, he shall turn west: and California shall know his fury...
We promised Lanius' story in the next dev diary, but it seems he cannot be stopped. See how you can guide his conquests in Dev Diary 27: All Exist to Test the Strength of the Legion

As you can see, #dev_diaries
is now #dev_teasers
! This is a small change, but now any developer can post into here. This way if developers want to post small, single image teasers they can do it in one place rather then posting in #anouncemeents
or #general
.
For server subscription purposes, if you only want the major dev diaries, anouncements and flavor fridays then you can subscribe to #anouncements
- otherwise, for smaller posts you can look here.

To start us off, ill post something small.
This is a recreation of the original render used in Interplay's original logo, seen in Fallout 1 and 2 - with Interplay replaced with Clauswitz, HoI4's internal engine.

:pencil: :CUTEY_ONI: Aquila asked: Is Maxson bunker actually unique or is it kind of generic?
Glad you asked! The Maxson Chapter is going to have a small sub-branch of the main Brotherhood Generic
tree that Washington Brotherhood and the old Mojave Chapter tree use.
Its mostly to establish their flavor, since a lot of it had to be rewritten from what existed in Van Buren as well as to give some fun off-map teases...

Happy: I've not shown off much of the inner-workings of the Mojave Territory, since they were still in a rather WIP state at the time of the Old World Blues Dev Diary that showed them off. So to treat you all, I present a snapshot of the Mojave Territory's three unique decision systems: War is Not an Independent Phenomenon
. The Mojave Territory is weak, especially compared to the Bull and House's Securitrons, but by calling on the resources of the NCR itself they have at least a shot at keeping pace. Be careful though: if you ask too much of the NCR, or expose the Campaign's true horrors to the NCR's population back home, you might find that support for your military occupation quickly evaporates...

Happy: :pencil: :wokenth: Theranis asked: Are all 3 of the new formables coming in 3.0? Also, did we ever get a teaser for the fiends one?
I actually realised the only teaser of the three nations that won the poll was for The Cause, our friends from Fallout: Extreme who'll rough it out with the Washington Brotherhood. That leaves the Old Country and the Fiends unteased, so here's one for you now...
Should you be able to fend off the imperialist NCR troopers and House's Securitrons, the Fiends will finally be able to embraced the motor engine and sell their drugs far and wide. It won't be easy, however...

Zusk: Got something a little more technical today - going to frame this as more of a work in progress post, rather then a Look at this content you will see in 3.0 post!
Considering that, I would love if you would send me feedback on this.. Essentially: What I am thinking for 3.0 is to change the layout of the Western Brotherhood & Shi.*Giving western brotherhood the territories between their two main territories helps both the AI, a NCR player and a brotherhood player fight 'fun wars' in that area. Dealing with multiple tiny frontlines was often more headache then it was worth - especially considering how splitting up BoS's territory like that impacted supply.
*BoS's tree is getting some changes as well. To compensate them getting this extra core territory on game start they are losing their war goals on Umbra. ( They can still take the Arroyo one, they just have to border them first - IE, through a player made War Goal. ). The territory they gained on start is more valuable then they lost from Umbra regardless, so its a net positive for them.
*Shi now starts larger and is actually leaned towards siding with the NCR, rather then the Brotherhood. ( Lore justification of this being the San Francisco-Shady Sands cultural exchange mentioned in Van Buren. ).
This is done partly to ensure that the NCR gets a 'consistent buddy'. With the Legion starting with two strong puppets the NCR was kind of hurt due to the fact that a lot of their factional allies can be 'swingy' - Steel Rangers and New Reno mainly.
In addition, this will help give Shi a fun and reasonable war they can fight in - since if the NCR-Brotherhood war starts up again the Shi can lean to take some territory off of the Brotherhood!
( Its worth noting that the above changes will not reflect the NCR and the Brotherhood in 3.1. This is merely how California will work for 3.0 until then. )

The Courier: "This road leads nowhere. There's nothing in the Divide."
Ulysses: "Many in the Mojave think the Divide's nothing but canyon and storm. Wasn't always. There was life, a town, farther West... not talking about an Old World town like Hopeville... more recent. Something you saw in your lifetime. It had the name "the Divide," too. But rather than cracks in the earth, it was a road from the West into the Mojave, a supply line. Took a Courier to make that road. You. Back then, you saw the road with eyes facing East. This time... the Divide's in the other direction. And if your eyes try to make sense of it when you reach it... home's not what it was."

Zusk: As we move on from 3.0 and towards bug fixing and future content production its time that you guys will get a chance to see the new attitude the OWB team is taking!
For the last few years - 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 - we have had a mindset of keeping content releases to these massive patches and not having much inbetween. Now, by this point the team has grown large enough where we do not have to do that!
What will that mean for you all? It means that you will start to see the occasional intermittent content release every now and then, to help keep OWB fresh inbetween these massive releases.
As a part of this new attitude here is a little teaser of something you can expect pretty soon. A focus tree for the Last Patrol!

Zusk: Big changes incoming to Lanius's Cohort in the near future.
The biggest of which? Working on the balance needed in order to remove the East-West Legion Faction
.
In the future Caesar will be able to call in Lanius using the same ruleset that other faction members follow.
For some design context: We added this in mostly as a way that we could justify Lanius having a super strong tree - since it meant that we could design the Legion effectively as two seperate power bases. With 3.0 Lanius's current balance if he was called freely into any of Caesar's wars the Legion would simply just be too powerful.

Warforms got buffed excessively, to perhaps make them maybe not really worth it.
Almost doubled recovery rate to 0.5 from 0.3
Increased Org from 30 to 100
Reduced combat width from 5 to 4
Reduced manpower usage from 50 to 25
Increased base supression from 4 to 8
Increased HP, meaning how many losses they take due to fighting from 5 to 50
Gave them a 25% boost to soft, hard attack and defense
Gave them a 20% boost to breakthrough.
The events remain as punishing as before. Try at your own risk. Dropping with 3.2

Zusk: I have been in Lanius-Hell for the last two months during development of the Lanius rework, but I have some little things to share!
The Legion conscription laws are now easier to upgrade then before, while before they required war now they can be upgraded while at war, or after a certain date has passed. This should help prevent nations like CES from feeling like they have to bank political power for their minor wars before the NCR one ( While still giving them an advantage if they use their resources well, since it means they can upgrade their law quicker. )

Zusk: In 3.2..
Black Sun are GONE
Pree F to pay respects for :flag_owb_bsu:
- - - - -
Pretty much the gist of it is that Black Sun were a bit of a bit of a simple, no effort war for Lanius - which felt weird that late into their tree. By beefing up Sun Dogs Lanius gets a bit more even of a difficulty curve leading up to the Hangdogs war.
That in tandem with the fact that Black Sun was non canon and hadn't had its lore updated since pre-2.0.

While Danish-American groups are mostly integrated across America, there's actually a sizable minority of Danish-Americans in Utah!

Zusk: As part of the Alamo and Texan Super Mutant Changes, gave a look to Unity of Austin.
Some people have been asking for a "Independent Union of Austin"
path for a while, instead of just forcing you to be integrated.( A little technical: Savvy' viewers might also notice that the capstones have been simplified a little, rather then being as obtuse as they were.
For Unity of Austin and Ironmongers to go down later in your tree to your deeper capstone focuses you just need to have Shale gone to do so, rather then needing that you own the entire region. This means that, for example, if Carbon or Los annex Shale early then the mutant war is bypassed entirely and won't happen!
This should help to add more variance to the region in how it plays out if Shale messes up. )

Zusk: Here is a little more of a technical balance teaser related to some miscellaneous Twin Mothers focus tree tuning coming in 3.2. I know that some people appreciate this more technical stuff so I figured I would throw them a bone too!
The
Tribal Tech Tree
is gone for them. I put that into their tree at February 2020, before the tribal tree had even been formally developed yet! I had presumed it would be smaller-scale, tribal themed buffs. Its benefits turned out to be scaled too ridiculously when coupled with implants and advanced infantry tech. Since the implant tree is more rare then the tribal one I chose to cut the tribal tree, rather then implants from Twin Mothers.
Speaking of implants; they are now slightly harder to get for Twin Mothers. The focus that enables them now requires Robobrains, in addition to its other requirements. This should reduce the pace that a Twin Mother player is able to get an early rollout of Implants, but ensures that its still relatively the same when its on the field.
Twin Mothers now start with 3 research slots, but get an additional one at the end of their DNA path through a new focus! This is another step in attempt to curb Twin Mothers early game strength and try to push them more into being a
late bloomer
sort of nation.
Its not all nerfs though!
DNA is much more accessible then it was before. DNA being removed from mutually exclusive paths where it is ( Radscorpion and Wanamingo DNA ) and being brought over to non-exclusive paths, partly to ensure that you aren't locked out of the chance to get DNA easily.
Its still a little too early to talk about Twin Mothers political tree, which had to be redone a bit due to how much Lanius changed in this update. Its not really a huge overhaul for them, just some tweaks to ensure that the tree makes sense with Lanius's new design.

Zusk: A little change in 3.2; The Reservation starts in the Legion faction, as a equal partner - rather then the puppet status that the other two Legion members have.
This is to reflect the deep trading relationship between the Reservation and Legion in Van Buren.Technical: If you are wondering - no Reservation focus tree at the moment! The Navajo tree is going to be fairly unchanged - if you go with the 'War with the Reservation' route it will simply kick the Reservation from the faction.

Happy: Hey folks! Your irregular Happy is (ironically) never happy with the systems she creates
teaser here. Yep, you guessed it, I'm not completely satisfied with how Exodus has turned out after listening to lots of fun feedback.
So, I've made it about 16 times as good. How? Well, the system has been morphed a little, and now refugees flee from states to nations. This both reduces the number of calculations somewhat, and makes the system much more transparent.
When refugees flee to your nation, they now join your Unassimilated Refugee Pool rather than moving directly to your civilian population. Over time, you'll passively assimilate a portion of the pool: this portion is modified by techs, laws and ideas.
Moreover, when population assimilates it will now spread evenly over your controlled core states, meaning there'll be much less clumping in state capitals. Similarly, should a nation be annexed while it still has Unassimilated Refugees the refugees will be considered scattered and disappear. This means you can't ping-pong refugees across the wastes after taking states in quick succession.
I'm also working on a set of decisions to allow you to spend caps and/or political power to quickly integrate a portion of your pool, if you're in a tough spot and need manpower. It'll be with you in the next hotfix!

Zusk: In 4.0, I am doing quite a bit of AI work behind the scenes to improve how the AI of specific countries picks and creates templates, research technology and decks itself out. Ultimately with the end result of helping the AI play a better performance where it needs to, be a bit less of a pushover, and play to their strengths where they need to.
Rather then focus on general back-end changes for every nation, I am framing these under the guise of coding the AI of specific nations. For example; in 4.0 Troll Warren will more accurately build Behemoth divisions to its force limit to take advantage of the special forces limit changes that came in 3.3.
Expect, in particular, for 4.0 for most of the major participants of the NCR-Legion war to receive expanded AI work to help improve their ability to make meaningful templates that take advantage of their individual national spirits to the best of their abilities, rather then just outfitting templates based on their doctrine.
This is something that is a bit harder to reflect with a screenshot, so instead I will post a fun little piece of Fallout trivia.
Did you know that there was an
Unoffical Fallout Choose Your Own Adventure Game

Freddy: Results are in. There will be one big UI update, once a large majority of the work is complete. We will be going with a more unified, single artstyle. This does mean a rework of some of the art that's already been done, including what's above, but I think this is for the better. You guys were about 50/50 on this, but given how big of a deal it is I think that everything working as one unit will be for the better. We will also be changing the layout of the UI - not major changes, but you may for example be able to navigate to the coring screen or caps trade menu from the politics screen.
Thanks for your feedback!

Thread: Defending Kimball is R13
August 14, 2021
Faeelin: There's been a lot of discussion about how to handle Hoover Dam. We originally did a random event, which, for obvious reasons, was frustrating to players since it put control of the dam to random chance. One of the common suggestions was to replace it with a border war, because hey, wasn't Hoover Dam a border war, kind of?
This ran into the problem that border wars are are great idea with room for improvement in HOI4. For one thing, they are very much about the meta for your units, which means that the Legion, due to its individually better divisions, usually wins in the hands of a player. And of course the NCR and Vegas have no role to play.
So what to do? @Happy and @LimonenZitrone have been working on an idea for 4.0, where the Legion, NCR, and Mojave Territories face off in a new GUI system.
Some of the details are being worked out, but this is essentially a rock papers scissor system. Both sides will be able to affect the other parties' options at certain key points. This will also generally be weighted to an NCR victory, but that doesn't mean the Legion will always lose.

AI Lynette will still pursue this path, but she'll also have the ability to pursue a cooperative path with Reno and others. (But join the NCR, they need your help)

Zusk: Hey! Wanted to show off something fun I am doing in 4.0.
In a upcoming update, Raiders will have a unique coring mechanic! When they core a state as normal they will also Ransack it. Ransacking a state damages the infrastructure in a state, and gives you things in turn!
Included in this image is a few examples of the system in action, from leader modifiers to some hooks in legacy focus trees!
Let me know what you think

Thread: Raider Ransack Coring System
October 4, 2021
Faeelin: I wanted to show this mostly as a fun example of how the team could come together. As some of you know, the NCR's gone through a few different iterations over the course of 4.0, from a system where the Republic would start divided to its current, largely unitary form. This has also affected how the NCR's Election of 2278 would play out.
At one point, we were simply going to do a scripted localization like the Glory Mechanic for the Legion. But that doesn't reflect work, because the Legion is an armed warband, and the NCR is special..
Indeed, the NCR may be a bit different from what you're used to. There are no chieftains, town bosses, kings, or dictators here. Their leaders are elected by the people! That's right -- every state has the right to send representatives to the Hall of Congress. These representatives select the President and Vice-President to head the council and it is their advice which guides the President's decisions.
To that end, pursuant to a new GUI that @Soviet_Cyber and @CGS whipped up, two of three potential candidates will compete in the presidential election. But candidates' campaign promises will affect what other states support. For example, Hayes's support for an income tax will cause the barons to rally to Kimball.
(We won't be showing the GUI until close to release or until release, but I will say CGS was kind enough to include compatibility for a certain candidate from Nevada in a submod).

Thread: To the Republic!
October 7, 2021
MrBlazzar: You lot usually don't see me in this channel but I've got something I want to show you today. I've been working on, what I would call, a quality of life improvement/mod integration.
This time we will be integrating the "Custom map Modes" mod from our very own @iCodeBlaster as well as I expanded on the already available mapmodes he's created: Countries, Stability, War support, and State Factory Count and added a few extras including a Coring Status(name subject to change) map mode!
The custom gui can be opened from the drop down menu located next to the logistics button your already all know about and use, hopefully.
The Coring Status(name subject to change) allows you to core DIRECTLY from this new custom map as well as know all the requirements to being able to core a state! It's a very exciting thing as the amount of actual mechanics this map mode gui can do is rather large.
This feature is coming in a future update as we refine and polish it along adding more map modes. If you have ideas for more map modes please make a detailed post in #suggestions.
I'll leave you with a screenshot of a example of Caesar's Legion looking to core a state with the new map mode gui.

I’ve posted this just recently in oc-art , and I will continue to feed in more art I do for the mod there in the near future! See ya’ soon!

Faeelin: To celebrate resolving one of the 4.0 Build's CTDs, I'd like to introduce one of the leaders added to Eureka since we first teased it. Expelled from San Francisco in the 2240s, the Hubologists made their new home in Eureka, where they remember better days down south. There they work to raise money and resources to cleanse the world of the neurodynes which block communion with the Star Father, and dream of the day when they will dance on Quetzal with the righteous of the Stars. Dick Goldman invites you to join them - and the better future that awaits you, for the right price. Credit to @NuclearForest for the piece!

Thread: The Starfather Loves You
May 6, 2022
LusaLy: "You should have been with us in our glory days. You'd have loved it."
The Khans of Wyoming strive to break free from old traditions and binds for a new way of life in the north-east reaches. Guided by Amgalan, a Khan graced by the values of the Followers, he paves a future where the pen triumphs sword. But his pacifism is shaky, and those under his leadership, no less familiar faces from the past, yearn for more direct approaches to their problems...
