Removing Perma-50%-Autonomy in Colonies

[Schlez]

Hi all,

Is there a way to remove the permanent 50% minimum autonomy that you get in colonies. I just started a game as Salish and wanted to make a colonial empire all the way to Asia. However, when creating colonies in North America, I noticed that my 50% autonomy was not reducing. I looked around the "defines.lua" and set COLONY_MIN_AUTONOMY and OVERSEAS_MIN_AUTONOMY both to 0.

However, this has no effect in my game as when I mouse over the "reduce autonomy" button, I get the message that it would have no effect as the minimum autonomy is 50%. Did I miss something? Do I have to start a new game? Is there something else I have to mod to get rid of the permanent 50% autonomy?

Thanks in advance for any help!

It only applies to new colonies, not your already completed ones. I believe min autonomy is set/removed on a provincial level using rules from defines and 00_governments (and if so, it would be great to have access to that ability for modding )

I have set colony_min_autonomy to 0 in defines to remove the autonomy for same continent colonies
And it worked for me, you might have to wait a month for the game to adjust

Oh, it does adjust at the month tick. Thanks.

Yup that did it. Thanks for the tip!
