How to Spawn Equipment in Hearts of Iron IV

Spawning equipment in Hearts of Iron IV is actually quite straight-forward. The command you must use is the add equipment command, which can be abbreviated at 'ae'.

Before diving into using the add_equipment command, it's important to note that you need to research equipment before you can use it. You can do this in two ways:

• Using the research all command - executing this command will instantly research all equipment for your current country.
• Using the research_on_icon_click command - after executing this command, equipment will be resarched instantly when you click its icon in the technology tree.

The syntax for the 'ae' command is as follows:

add_equipment [amount] [equipment name]

Here's what the two arguments mean:

All you need to do is replace the arguments with the equipment and amount you'd like to add. So, for example:

ae 1000 motorized_rocket_equipment_1

The above command would add 1000 Motorized Rocket Artillery to your stockpile. You could make that just 200 Motorized Rocket Artillery with the below command

ae 200 motorized_rocket_equipment_1

And to make the above command 200 Towed Artillery (artillery_equipment_1), all you'd have to do is change 'motorized_rocket_equipment_1' to 'artillery_equipment_1':

ae 200 artillery_equipment_1
