Thank you for the valuable feedback Peever, and I'm very sorry that the resource situation made the game unplayable. The new update, which I'm working on as we speak, should leave Japan in a better position economically.
No problem mate. If we wanted a stable game, we would have played stock. We knew the risks of running a mod and I got caught off guard. I wouldn’t say the resources made it unplayable, just harder than I anticipated and I did not properly research the situation at the start of the game like I should have.
By no means have I reached some point of no return. I’m just stuck between a rock and a hard place with a long uphill climb. The short to medium term is solvable but the long term is where the real problems lie. I could find a way to meet the daily requirements but the long term build-up of resources to have once the Allies are in full force is where the real problem lies. So much of the shipping capabilities would be tied to resource convoys that it would require careful planning to juggle operations around that.
I’m still having fun and learning a lot on how to play Japan which is exactly what I wanted.

Whilst japan definitely has an oil problem at start with a supply of 213 days (not counting anything use for fueling ships)......
....it does seem to have an awful lot of oil i.e. oil reserves for starting refineries will last 1168 days (so all through 1944 into the beginning of 45). So with captured Russian oilfields they may never run out.........
I’m confused whit this. How do you have a 213 day of supply and 1168 days at the same time? Are you seeing the bigger number on the bottom half of tracker that lists the cities? If so, then don’t worry about those numbers as they are temporary due to the shifting of cargo around the country. For example, one of my cities list a 600-day surplus of oil, but the city has no oil refineries. Right now though there are 653 points of oil that are in that city. We can think of it as if they were on rail cars in transport to a refinery in another city. In this case that “surplus” of 600 days doesn’t actually exist since there is nothing in that city than can use the oil.
As for your question on putting US troops in Russian bases I think that house rule is up to you. However, it should be noted that the relations between the US and the USSR were strained during the war. The two countries worked together to beat a common enemy but the extent of the alliance was nowhere close to the relationship between the US and the Western European Allies.
If the Germans had captured Moscow and or Stalin is killed/removed from power and there was the threat of an imminent collapse of the Russian government, then I can see US troops occupying Russian bases in the Pacific. Sort of like the British and French were making plans to invade Norway in early 1940 because they didn’t want Hitler to have it.
In my opinion I don’t think anyone but Russians should be in Russia. Preserving the lend-lease life line to Russia was nowhere near as important as securing the line from the US to Australia.
