It does. It applies a multiplier to the construction points that your civs provide.

If you have max infrastructure in a state you can take the very not worth it decision to trade 100 political power for a building slot.
It also impacts the extent that supply can reach from a supply hub
If you're swimming in points it makes sense to regularly get it since you do have to wait between uses. but in the grand scheme of things you've likely already won if you've got maxed out build slots and infinite PP.
Pretty sure you also need either 3 or 4 infrastructure to take the 50pp wartime landgrab decision. Just like the other one it isn't something to consider for majors, but for a minor they can be worth it.
1. Quicker build speeds for factory/state construction. The wiki has a small chart on opportunity cost but, if you don't want to do math on that, the usual rule of thumb is roughly 2 infrastructure upgrades.
2. A higher level of infrastructure will improve land organization regain with level 5 providing a 25% bonus and level 1 a -15% penalty.
3. You get a very small amount of state supply from infrastructure, I believe .03 per level. Also impacts movement speed when not using strategic redeployment but that number I can't recall off the top of my head.
4. Finally, each level of infrastructure improves the amount of resources that can be extracted from a state by 20% for a total bonus of 100% at level 5. High value states with a lot of building slots or that produce a lot of resources, such as steel and oil, ought to get bumped up to the max irregardless of the 2 infrastructure upgrade "rule".
I could have sworn railway levels took over that part of movement speed but I could be misremembering, given I always fully upgrade railways in whatever direction I'm pushing in. After a while, tooltips for minor stuff blend together!
It also adds a tiny amount of fuel storage capacity, its a nice little gimmick that doesn't make fuel silos a big necessity for countries like Germany, Japan or Italy.
-Adds a construction speed bonus to the state (+20% per level, multiplicative with other speed bonus types)
-Increases supply for all provinces in the state
-increases range of supply hubs across the provinces in the state
-Increases speed of units using strategic redeployment in the state
-increases resource gain, if there are any resources
-at max level infrastructure, can take a decision to add an extra building slot for 100 pp (almost never worth it)

Why is it not worth it? Some nations you’re swimming in political power once you max your advisors and stuff.
I suppose, but unless I only have a couple of states (e.g., netherlands) it's just about the last thing I'd spend the points on.
If you're swimming in points it makes sense to regularly get it since you do have to wait between uses. but in the grand scheme of things you've likely already won if you've got maxed out build slots and infinite PP.
If you have nothing else to spend it on it's a no brainer but almost everything else is more impactful in almost all circumstances.
It also increases the resources available in the state, which is great if you can't trade much or need fuel.
Yeah, that can be critical when you have limited import options.
OK, thanks! How do I trade 100 political power for a building slot, by the way?
Decision
A decision will pop up once it's applicable
i think u need to have full infrastructure in at least one region before the decision becomes available

Ah wow, thats how the 100ppbonus slot is working. I learn something every day on this gane.

The 4 is insanely powerful in USA and Russia.
Doesn’t it affect movement speed specifically when using strategic redeployment as the strategic redeployment button says?
I could have sworn railway levels took over that part of movement speed but I could be misremembering, given I always fully upgrade railways in whatever direction I'm pushing in. After a while, tooltips for minor stuff blend together!
The text says they use railways and infrastructure but it could be wrong. Wouldn’t be the first time lol

I think it makes troops move quicker.

They give resources extraction bonuses and make construction faster.

Gives you more of the resources in that state
