Yes, all are in English.
The main mod has all the scripts for future factories and production builds. They've added a few handy machines but the main reason is for mappers to use the script for factories etc.
And they look way better than some of the machines out.

beer or wine making would probably affect their age rating

Yes, I think it was explained in a different post. Same goes for tobacco farming. As the game is rated for children I guess they can’t add things that require an age limit to buy or use as it’s inadvertently promoting the items.

Lot's of production mods out there that do this already, so what is so good about this? I dont ask in a way that I am trying to put the mod down, I genuinely want to know what this mod is about!?

Same here, what’s been released so far has already been available for some time (just not through modhub) so a bit of a let-down. Based on the early comments in this thread I’m assuming there must be more to come from this for production of more interesting things?

Can someone confirm that these mods have English translation? I just about get by with the other mods (choosing the right one from the shop is the hardest part!) as they aren’t in English but these look a bit more involved.

yes they do

I think I'm going to take these early released buildings and see if I can edit them and change the imputs and outputs to something not covered by the already existing buildings we have. The Global Seed Maker doesn't work for me with it's requirement to use Herbicide, much prefer the existing buildings that require Fertiliser which is a component we can make with the Fertliser Buildings. Herbicide can't be made currently with any of the existing buildings, but I may now do the investigative work to see if I can turn this seed maker into a Herbicide Production Facility.

What is this all about?





Makes for a tough choice, unless Place Anywhere functionality is included in the Global Company script.

Maybe just disable while placing any GC items?

I think the Global Company mod comes bundled with a few of LS's other scripts, looking in the additional folder I see BaleAddon, Horse Helper, More Trees, Object Info and Extended Placeable. I'm going to guess that Extended Placeable is their own version of Place Anywhere. However I've never tried theirs as the one from naPalm works so damn well, another version wasn't needed.

Where can i download your new productions?

Just added it to one of my savegames and in game had a couple of mod conflict messages. I can't remember ever seeing a message in game about mods, but it tells me to remove horse helper (not a problem on this map) and it also doesn't like Place Anywhere. I like the idea of Global Company, but Place Anywhere is a must have for me so sorry Global Company, unfortunately you had to go.

Yeah this is an issue, why do they feel the need to include their own version of Horse Helper, Place Anywhere and the other Additional Scripts in that folder of the main Global Company Download. Just doing a test on a save game and their Place Anywhere mod is not as good as the already existing version. I also don't see anything on the ModHub description where it mentions these additional mods coming bundled with the Global Factory Scripts. I think they'd be better off removing these additional mods and just focusing on the factory and production stuff. Let us continue using our existing mods that already do the jobs like Horse Helper and Place Anywhere.

Edit: Maybe these additional mods are mentioned in this image:


But unfortunately I do not read or speak German. So once again Giants fail to apply their own mod rules, which state Descriptions need to be available in English and German as a minimum. Would have been nice to see an English language screenshot or two on the ModHub.

By pressing Ctrl + G ingame, you can activate Extended Placeable and Horse Helper included in Global Company. I don't know the horse helper mod you use, but hopefully this should cover your needs.
