I found quite nice working trick to lower liberty desire of a colonial nation. Here is how it works:
  1. Settle a province next to colonial nation (but don't reach 1000 population);
  2. Cede this province to colonial nation;
  3. Colonial nation accepts, lowering their liberty desire;
  4. Colonial nation immediantly throws away this province;
  5. Repeat.
It works perfectly.

Can't remember that one at the moment, can you remind me?

Do remember fixing some scutage-related bug in 1.15 but I need to know which one.

Enable scuttage bug doesn't give the overlord any extra money.
Also, since they aren't called to wars it means your opponent can deck you and then deck your vassal. It used to be this way with protectorates but its fixed for protectorates.

Throws away?
Just abandons the colony because it already has a colony/has no money (one of these, nothing more), allowing you to repeat the cycle.

Yeah will be patched, thanks for bringing us to our attention. :)
Guyz, use this trick ASAP until next update.
