Colonising new provinces

[Wagonlitz]

Does anybody know how to colonise the new provinces the Japan update added? Given that they have 0 0 0 dev they appear inhospitable. I'm thinking I'll have to save edit them to give make them 1 1 1 provinces (or look up what they are in native 1.24 games and change them to that). But I'm wondering whether there's an in game way to do it.

Nope....0/0/0 are not colonisable, ever... trick used in some mods to have provinces not colonisable but traversable by armies.

You'll need to make it at least 1/0/0 in the save file (or start a new game).

Save for the tiny chance of this event firing upon the discovery of the land I do not believe so.

Edit:
Well if you want to really think outside the box, maybe if you form Russia, move your capital to an adjacent province and try to establish a Siberian frontier.
Don't know if it would work, but I'm fairly confident it's not worth it

@Trin Tragula would have to confirm, but i think that that particular rule about for regular colonisation also applies to Siberian Frontier colonisation.

Don't they only appear like that when you haven't started a new save?

Just roll back to the last patch, or start a new campaign.

I was curious so I tested it with the help of the console. Turns out you actually can actually establish a Siberian frontier on these 0/0/0 provinces.

So there indeed is an ingame way to do it. Just a very inconvenient one.

Thanks for checking.

Did you check to see if it eventually becomes 1/0/0, or does it remain at 0/0/0 ?

It remained at 0/0/0.

Aside from this it was interesting to see that Siberian frontiers still override the culture in trade regions. And that I could convert back to Filipino culture for the low cost of 0 dip.

Well, thank you very much for those informations !

The culture/religion convert is because the new provinces have 0 population (at least in your screenshot). That happens with regular colonization in TC-regions if you attack the natives.

Interesting though that Siberian Frontiers works different enough though to be able to colonize them though.
