3 Years later, and this is still required. It blew my mind that i went to all that effort, and then it was a 20k project, just for canada. Then people said dont even do it, since it ruins the united states. Really just made me want to quit. But i'll give it a try with this mod.

@Energywelder
I haven't downloaded the mod to verify, but I don't think so. It appears that vanilla-modification mods like this one overwrites vanilla files instead of patching them. Getting it to have the same effect as those mods should be rather simple, though, as long as you have a basic understanding of code.

Specifically, you will want to edit the following fields in what will probably be a file called "TIProjectTemplate.json":

"factionAvailableChance": 100,
"initialUnlockChance": 100,
"deltaUnlockChance": 100,
"maxUnlockChance": 100,

Setting all four values to 100 (which means 100 % ) will guarantee that you not only always get the research, but get it instantly as well. Just like how Guaranteed Project Unlocks works.

Will this work alongside other mods that touch the tech tree like "faster tech unlocks" or "guaranteed project unlocks"?

alright, cheers man

@LordZarmack "I want to edit the specific line of code that says how long before you can unify to be a week or something...."

If you want you *AND* AI to be able to do it, the simple file would be the TIEffectTemplate.json file, looking for "Effect_RapidDiplomacy". It reduces the time by 20% each for 3 projects (0.512x normal time = 92.16 days after the following 3 projects are completed):
It is used by the Projects "Corridor Diplomacy", "Common Cause", and "United Effort".

These would be moddable, but this specific mod probably shouldn't change it. A new mod (or a mod name change, if Navigator//hydro-71 wants to implement it) would be in order.

Eu alredy owns everything up to africa and china, china owns all of asia, down to india and america owns all of america but they just wont merge lol.. I want to edit the specific line of code that says how long before you can unify to be a week or something....

Yeah, you can only unite specific nation/regions currently, as provided by the techs.

I should clarify, that "Great Nations" requires multiple steps of tech to unlock itself. It's... quite a process; it's unfortunate, but world (or even continental) unity *would* be quite a process.

Great Nations tech allows more unions. Unfortunately, the Great Nations allowed are hard-coded into the game. Been delving into the coding/modding information and there's no way to mod that in without Harmony or some other DLL modification.

cheers for the mod though man, game would be enjoyable if you could disable pop up's and as I said- actually unite earth properly once everyone was allies.

Still no idea how to unite earth or continents properly, ea takes so f'n long to get a unite option and to deal with all the constant take-overs breaking the timer...ridiculous...need to mod it in to be instant union or something after a federation with with right tech.

Gna mod local files myself because I'm sick of clicking through 50 million alien fleet movements each 1 minute.. needs disabling that pop up thing...
