Plagued /r/TNOmod and the Reddit HOI4 modding community - When a subreddit for a video game mod turns to utter insanity

I literally cannot play the mod, the Atlantropa thing is so, so stupid that it makes me want to fucking puke.
Why hasn't anyone made a submod about removing Atlantropa already? Who cares about the events talking about it, I just want the borders to be back to normal.

IIRC, it was literally the first mod to come out after it released lmao

EDIT: I cannot find the mod. Either it was deleted, or it never existed. I'm amazed nobody has done it yet

Wasn't the Atlantropa thing envisioned by some architect who wanted to bring unity and economic growth to a Europe that was desolated by WW1? His idea was that by draining the Mediterranean it would create create new lands to settle and develop with farms and factories, of course he didn't know that by draining the Mediterranean most of Southern Europe would turn into a wasteland similar to the Sahara desert and that the new land would be infertile. This idea was also extremly unrealistic, because in order to drain the Mediterranean you would need to build dams on the straits of Gibraltar and Constantinople, also close down the Suez Canal, no nation on Europe would do any of these things because all of those straits are vital for economics and military strategy.

Also nobody liked it except for him. It was a total white elephant. Not a single high-ranking Nazi wanted to do it.

Redux is planning on removing Atlantropa but the mod is still far off from release, so it'll be a while until we get a mod that gets rid of it

Guy was an autist no one took seriously. Early 1900s Europe had all kinds of autists writing shit like that.

Earlier in the spitballing phase when it was still fresh from being a Facepunch RP/Victoria 2 mod concept Atlantropa was going to be even bigger and more retarded, to the point that Donitz was going to get his own Reichskomissariat in the middle of the Mediterranean basin. It got reduced to the '''''realistic''''' representation it has now.

To further add onto the autism the only reason TNO was ported over to HOI4 was because Panzer found the Vick2 coding too difficult to remap for Atlantropa.

Here is a stoner in Kaiserreich because off course we need to know why and how weed exists in a mod. Gotta love his little essay when someone makes an anti-stoner comment.

I actually don't mind Atlantropa, but that's mostly because I think a Axis victory mod needs to be not that serious. If you go in with the goal of making a realistic scenario you risk killing a lot of the fun and opening up for ideologues to remove certain paths they don't like for political reasons with the excuse that they are "unrealistic".
Just compare with how much more fun Kaiserredux is to present day Kaiserreich after the devs removed all the fun.
