Anyways, I am a proponent of nudging LI (light industry) in locations where there's access to refineries so there's less need to ship fuel over sea. Take Hokkaido as an example, if you use the fuel there to produce supply, you won't need to ship that fuel to Honshu and ship back supplies. Win win. Good idea, wrong reason. LI (light industry) only needs resources, no fuel is necessary. You can nudge up the HI (heavy industry) in Hokkaido a bit (I think I get the island up to ~100 HI total, so the increase is quite small). Here's how it works. I keep a couple of small tankers in the area to bring the oil from Sakhalin (300/day) to Hokkaido, plus the Hokkaido oil (150/day) to Honshu. Hokkaido doesn't have refineries. They then ship fuel back from the HI. Also at these two locations you can increase the LI as they generate far more resources than they can possible use. This is also true for Formosa. Now it costs supply to do this, but its paid back by the fact that you don't need to ship resources out of these areas (costs fuel) or ship supply to them (costs fuel). Formosa is the best. Increase the LI output at both LI areas to 100 each and you're left with 400 resources/day and 80 oil/day to ship out and for the foreseeable future no need to ship in supplies (except initially to enact the increases). Now these increases are just MHO, but I've been using them and they seem to work quite well. Also I faze them in over time so as not to stress the IJ economy too much. I'm usually done by late spring '42. Over time I'll recoup the supplies costs by the increases in output and smaller expenditure of fuel. Rusty It's been too long since I've played, I'm forgetting everything. Yes, nudge (by that I mean slightly) up LI in resource producing territory. Isn't that called being Rusty? Better than being Malkovich I guess.
