Mod to reduce core times

[Corporal Obvious]

are there any? If not how would i do it?

Coring time is directly tied into coring cost.
If you change one of your national ideas to give you -100% coring cost, any coring will be done at 0 cost and 0 time.

Wrong, there is no tie.
Just go and open defines.lua with an editor and search for the line:
CORE_TIME_SIZE_MODIFIER = n
and set the number somewhat lower. If you put it really low (like 0.0001), all provinces will actually be instantly cored, but you will still have to shell out the full cost. One line below that you can also change the time cap for coring from 240 months to whatever you want as the maximum coring time.

Thank you

I'm still having problems. I have edited the defines lua to look like this but the only effect was taking one month off the time. I was coring tver as muscovy on easy difficulty.
CORE_TIME_SIZE_MODIFIER = 0.001,
MONTHS_TO_CORE_MAXIMUM = 240,
MONTHS_TO_CORE = 8,

So i take it it is entirely coincidental that reducing coring cost also reduces coring time?

He is correct Mikehsan. There is no connection to what you said. If you read the discription it says to you! so when someone is trying to core you it will take longer. Corporal you need to lower the months more. I have mine set like yours for .001 but i set the max to 5 months and the other to 5. now it cores a lot quicker. Which is great! because it was taking like 20 years to core!! BLAH hahaha

20 years compared to EU3 is really fast.

CORE_TIME_SIZE_MODIFIER = 0.0001,
MONTHS_TO_CORE_MAXIMUM = 80,
MONTHS_TO_CORE = 12,
This is what it looks like now and it is still having zero affect on the game

Do you have any other mods running? if so, then it is using that file and not the one your changing. Try doing max 5 and core 5. Mine is almost instant.
