This mod changes how production is routed to HQs. It is built into ATG but turned off by default as it requires micromanagement of production and supply. Production will only arrive at a HQ in the town where it is produced. You cannot set a town to send its supply/PP/unit production to a distance HQ. Trains, trucks and cargo ships will become more important. Note that this rule only affects human players, it does not affect the AI. I've not played with "hardcore" production in effect so I can't speak to how good/fun a game it makes.
UPDATE: I've played about 15 turns with this mod. Personally, I don't care for it. Having to build an HQ in every city and factory is just too much work. Not fun for me. So just consider this Mod a gift to those who like micromanagement.
UPDATE (10/10/12): I've continued to play this hardcore Production/Supply mod. While I still don't care for all the HQs I must create, it definitely makes you work harder to defeat the AI. If you are already having difficulty doing that, then this mod isn't for you. I also learned that if you capture an enemy city and produce PPs with it, then you need an HQ in that city to receive that production. For some reason I was thinking it was a pool resource like raw and oil. It isn't.

. Being sincere, AI needs some advantage... Just to say the same rule applies to units bought in factories.
