Is it possible to mod promotion/demotion mechanics or is it hardcoded?

[Álvaro Núñez de Lara]

Is this mechanic scripted somewhere? I can't find it. As far as I can see the only thing you can modify in the game is pop ratios, but you can't seem to be able to mod what pops demote/promote at any given time or requirements for the promotion, so certain pops cannot demote or promote unlesss certain conditions are met.

If this is impossible, I'd like to use this thread to request the devs these modding tools to play around with pops more, because as it is, its extremely limited how much can you mod the pops sytem. Its all very obscure and hardcoded.

I believe the code for why pops promote and demote is in the defines and some are in the pop_types folder. If you are trying to get pops to promote or demote you could also do it with modifiers from events or decisions, I guess it depends on what exactly you want the pops to do.

What are you exactly trying to do?

are you trying to totally stop social mobility? are you trying to change which pops promote to what pops? or simply which pops promote first?

it's important because what you are trying to do could range from literally impossible to a simple .txt change.
