FAQ

Mid-campaign / safe to disable? Yes to both - no map or tag edits, and it removes cleanly without corrupting saves.

Conflicts? No - isolated script files, no vanilla overwrites. Compatible with Kaiserreich, Road to 56, Millennium Dawn and others.

Can I edit the values? Yes - plain text files in common/decisions/.

Performance? Negligible - about 30 dynamic modifiers that only work while their variable is stacked.

Does Research Speed also speed up Special Projects and Breakthroughs? No. They have their own decisions under Research & Development.

Technical Details

Traditional cheat mods rely on National Spirits, which cap at 20 slots per nation and bloat saves. This mod uses Dynamic Modifiers + variable-based scaling: one modifier per category reads a live variable daily, so zero Spirit slots, unlimited stacking and no save bloat. All files use unique cheat_* prefixes. Congress Support and Political Paranoia use the base game's own variables (senators_support / representatives_support, sov_paranoia), so they work with existing focuses and events.
