Update

This mod is older than my niece and people still asked to update it

Years later... I still wish this mod worked or someone could finguer out how to rip the code off

Also, does this work with et?

Yes, please.

please revive this mod

@jamaicam. I have sent you a friend request, for an interresting proposal on EU4. Accept my friend request so i can tell you about it. Cheers from Amsterdam

Doesn't really look like it.
Last update was on 2015, so...
...yeah.

Is this mod still being worked on?

Direct Download?

Do you get extra colonists?

Hi, Does it work in the new update?

this ever going to be updated?

I tried it and it crashes I dont have all the dlcs so would that affect it?

so this is no longer up to date i guess?

Could you provide a clarification and tl;dr as to what this mod does, and the advantages/disadvantages compared to manual colonization?

My assumption is that this is essentially a labor-saving device to avoid having to send colonists yourself every time, with the downside of potentially having less optimal (but still reasonably good) colony locations, which is cool.
It also has the downside of a small penalty for switching out which region you're colonizing in, which seems odd to me. I don't see any reason for that to be there.

Is there anything I'm missing? From the things on "stuff to add" you include things like making large countries colonize faster and small ones slower, i.e. mechanical changes or changes to AI actions, are any of those added yet?
(for the record, I like those ideas, but IMO they should be separate mods from colonial automation; that sounds a lot more sensible)

Updated to work with the 1.13 beta (it will work with 1.12 too, but you'll have to edit the .mod file). Made some major changes. The African and Asian companies now target specific trade company charter zones instead of generic regions. Finally added a Siberian company. The mod can now handle up to 9 colonists so will work with any custom ideas. The colonial maintenance fee repayment is now mostly done through modifiers so it is a lot more transparent and requires less math on your part. Also updated the code to use scripted triggers and effects so it will be a lot easier to update the mod in the future. Fixed a few bugs regarding missing events and regions.

How do you get this decision to fire?

Hey jamaicam. The mod has some bugs with the removal of Guyana. Also, there was a missing localisation option when I tried to start a company in Asia and Pacific. I think it's stolen my colonist.
Great mod otherwise. Hope this can help you fix it.

Is this 1.9 compatible?

Hey jamaicam, I want to download your mod. But are the problems for not being able to revoke charters going to be adressed later on?

I made the mod file compatible with 1.9. I didn't actually test it though but it should work fine. Nothing they changed should effect this mod.

Is there a way to revoke the charter? I did what the guy below me did and by accident sent my colonist to West African and Atlantic Islands. Is there a way to get him back as he does nothing and I am starting to fall behind in the colony game.

I said to start a west african and atlantic islands charter and I'm not seeing any colonies yet

The mod now works in 1.8 and I changed to colonist replacement event to hidden so it no longer spams you. I also added a decision to revoke colonists granted to colonial nations as requested.

This seems promissing

Guessing it doesn't work on ironman?
Great mod anyway. Don't get why didn't Paradox add this to the game as a feature..

Subscribe button not working.

I transfered my colonist to my colonial nation but now I want to get it back becasue the colonial nation isn't colonizing and i don't know how.

My subscribe button is not working
so will you be able to add alternative links?

There is a problem when trying to send a second colonist to a area, also if a coloni gets wrecked by natives. the company seems to bug out and dont send the colonist elsewhere

Is there an option to where I get to choose whether they even form a colony at all? If so you have the best colonial mod and I will definately subscribe, but if not... well... you should work on that :)

How does one revoke a charter granted to a colony? I want the colonist back to move elsewhere as they are not colonizing as part of the colony which is my ultimate goal. I want to recreate the company and they can just gain the cores after the fact.

Ok great! :D

It works fine with 1.7 no update needed.

Will this be updated to 1.7? Or does it work with it anyways?

can I have an info pls? I really like this mod on colonization, is it compatible with ironman mode?

Thank you,

Fix worked!

I'm pretty sure I fixed the option less event. Let me know if you still experience the problem.

I'm Having the Same issue as Rioden for the caribbean Area.

and btw; maybe make a colonial company that focusses on the east indies, and one that focusses on the pacific islands? Would be cool to have those aswell

is there a direct download link? mod dont show up in my game folder

caribbean lol. I haven't had the chance to see if the issue is repeatable in other areas. I hope this helps tracking down the issue.

It was in the Caribian, I was playing as the Aztec. Normally it gives me the option to continue colonizing a new area (tile), or disbanding and selecting a new zone to work in. Once the last area (tile) has been taken up in the zone, it seemed like it keep searching for a new area to colonize. There were none left so it seemed to be stuck in a loop.

Rioden, which region was it specifically? They each have their own event and it's supposed to have an option to load the charter granting event or disband the company and I need to know which region it was to fix it (unless it is in fact all of them).

I have found the issue that if you don't stop it from colonizing an area before the last area is taken, you get the " Our XXXX Company is expanding their charter in YYYY" window after it finishes colonizing that area.

XXXX= company name, and YYYY= the zone. The window will not go away, and there are no options to cancle the colonization of that area. The window seems to stay up for the rest of the game.

It would be nice if there was a National Decision to disband any of your Colonial Companies at any time. That would resolve the issue.

Other than that issue, it has been a sweet mod... Great work!!!
