Diplomatic Catalyst Categories

What problem does it solve?

This guide helps modders define and review Victoria 3 diplomatic catalyst categories used by common/diplomatic_catalyst_categories and catalysts, ensuring consistent timing and behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Establish standard category structures like cc_example with duration and optional catalyst_effect_cooldown.
• Align catalysts with defined lobby_formation_reason and timing to ensure predictable lobby creation.
• Provide a reference workflow for adding or updating categories in the mod folder.

Quick Start

Create or update a cc_* category entry in common/diplomatic_catalyst_categories/*.txt to apply a defined duration and cooldown to catalysts.
