Tech & Res 1.13 🌍🛠️

Tech & Res is an expert mod designed to enrich and expand Vic 3. Advanced resources, technology, and production methods extend gameplay from 1936 to 1999 and beyond.

🏭 Make

🏗️ New strategic raw materials

This world is rich in resources:

  • Copper and common ores are used to produce alloys.
  • Uranium.
  • Bauxite is used to produce aluminum.
  • Harnessing natural gas to increase steel and alloy production.
  • Advancedores produces advanced electronic components and chips.
  • Rare earths, essential to the economy of the eleventh century.

🛢️Oil revolution

Finally, Vic 3 has a real petroleum refining system that adds oil fractions:

  • Lubricant for advanced assembly lines.
  • Heavy fuel for ships and power plants.
  • Light fuel used in diesel, kerosene and plastic synthesis, used in modern packaging, tool and glass factories.

There are also new production methods for synthetic oils and synthetic rubber.

⚡New energy

New energy sources to meet the country’s growing needs:

Geothermal.

  • Water and electricity.
  • Nuclear powered, equipped with first, second and third generation reactors.
  • Renewable and highly productive, but they require large amounts of rare earths.
  • Added water as a resource.

🖥️The birth of electronics

This mod adds an electronic revolution experience to Victoria 3 with the following key items in chronological order:

Wires and batteries are critical to electricity, telecommunications and vehicles.

  • Electronic components, spanning the eras of vacuum tubes and transistors, and ultimately the invention of the silicon integrated circuit.
  • Processors, ultimately your modern economy will need them.

📺Home appliances and telecommunications

As electricity entered the home, the era of consumer electronics began.

  • Home appliances, televisions, and personal computers that revolutionized telecommunications and society.
  • New telecommunications goods have been added, from the first telephone networks to services such as the Internet and the Internet of Things.

🪖 Military

⚔️ Army and Navy

  • From early interwar mobile armor and aircraft to main battle tanks, fighters and bombers.
  • The infantry, artillery, and navy are also updated, adding advanced mechanized infantry, rocket launchers, nuclear submarines, and the two most powerful units in the game: nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and military giant robots.
  • Develop electronic warfare, early warning aircraft and space assets to enhance military capabilities.
  • atomic bomb mechanics.

🎭 Society

💊 Pharmaceuticals and Demographics

Revolutionize society by thoroughly integrating pharmaceutical production into medical law. Precise management of population as a resource to reduce mortality through science or welfare while countering declining birth rates in developed countries.

📈 Data revolution

  • Each building generates a small amount of organized data, while the university provides a small amount of business data, significantly increasing building productivity.
  • Unlock the office with the ability to easily transform organized data > business data from 50's onwards.
  • The 1980s liberated the construction of data centers. This important infrastructure is represented by project management (PM), capable of transforming raw data -> providing organized data to offices to increase the productivity of buildings.

🎬Entertainment and Culture

Finally, the mod also adds cultural activities:

  • New entertainment areas were added, with opera houses and theaters evolving over time into cinemas.
  • At the same time, the media industry evolved from publishing in the early 20th century to radio, television broadcasting, and finally to digital content producers.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
