Price: $1700
Description: Building off the vehicle restriction list for subsidiaries, this bounty would allow you to restrict which sub-components a company you own 50%+1 can use. UI wise, we'll have a dual panel system similar to what we have in the vehicle restrictions. We'll also have a drop down with the different sub-component types to filter the list.
We'll also add these restrictions to the ai.xml files. Which means modders can restrict AI companies to build only specific types of vehicles. Maps with these xml changes will be restricted to specific mods. So, we'll have to add a system to check that the loaded mod is compatible for the map.
Requirements: None
Required By: #361
Concerns: This is going to require a bit of overhaul to the component selection system and a new entry into the database. Also cramped UI that we'll have to figure out how to squeeze stuff into. Another issue arises when ai.xml files are linked to component files, that's going to be a recipe for disaster. As the map will not work with most mods. And there are a few mods people play.
Eric's Opinion: This bounty is sensible if you're trying to make stuff like EV companies and what have you. However, we tried to make AI companies build only specific things using the behavior system back in the early days. It was very successful in limiting them, but companies would go bankrupt in mass when heavily restricted. I fear this bounty and it's sibling will just result in frustration and headache as these companies constantly breakrupt.
