Thank you! I also tried to add provinces by myself to your Beyond Typus original mod - it takes so much time for me bruuh! I will try to do as you said! Do you know faster way pleaaase? Maybe even doing this in your mod files?

Hi! Not sure what's causing your crashes, APE works with BT 16 and EU4 1.37.2, maybe try to verify your files on Steam? Right-click on EU4 in your library, click "Properties" then "Installed Files" and click "Verify Integrity of Game Files."

Alright, update has been pushed. No new provinces, but the mod now works with BT16 and EU4 1.37.2.0.
ShiaLaBunion5 25 Aug, 2024 @ 10:00am 
Oh very cool, hope it was a good time!
melli_moo  [author] 25 Aug, 2024 @ 9:44am 
hi! update! I was on a big trip all the way across the country for a while so I didn't have access to my PC and I didn't want to push an APE update and then leave for 5 days without access to my PC lol. I'm back now and am still basically done with the update, so expect an update Soon(tm).
ShiaLaBunion5 5 Aug, 2024 @ 11:18pm 
Very pog
melli_moo  [author] 5 Aug, 2024 @ 4:54am 
Yep! I have the update basically done actually, I'm mulling over how much more I wanna do before I push it. Either way, the update will be out within the next week.
ShiaLaBunion5 4 Aug, 2024 @ 3:03pm 
Been making any progress?
melli_moo  [author] 9 Jul, 2024 @ 7:48am 
I do plan on updating APE, yeah. The BT update inadvertently used province IDs that were reserved for addons like APE so the APE update process is going to involve more work than normal, but I will update APE at some point.

Beyond Typus was recently updated, would you be able to update this mod to be compatible?
melli_moo  [author] 24 Apr, 2024 @ 6:07am 
@Chillwind No, I did not
Chillwind 23 Apr, 2024 @ 9:44pm 
Did you add a county tile for Washington D.C.? I can't see that in the pictures here.
ShiaLaBunion5 13 Apr, 2024 @ 7:09am 
exquisite
melli_moo  [author] 13 Apr, 2024 @ 5:26am 
I will update this when the next BT update comes out, yeah.
ShiaLaBunion5 12 Apr, 2024 @ 11:20am 
Will you be updating this when BT gets an update in 2036?
ΦΑΚΕΣ 12 Jun, 2022 @ 10:45am 
thank you!!
melli_moo  [author] 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:24am 
Aaaand updated. Change notes can be found in the change notes tab above, but the general gist is this: updated to BT 15 and EU4 1.33.
ΦΑΚΕΣ 1 Dec, 2021 @ 10:02am 
Patiently waiting for the BT14 update, no rush. Have you considered adding more Estuaries/Trade centers to North America? For instance, Mobile Bay in province 922 would be a good addition. I really love what this mod does to the coast line of North America, and I think a few estuaries could add some flavor

Oh, okay.
melli_moo  [author] 14 Sep, 2020 @ 6:15am 
I have no plans to straighten the US-Canada Border, no.
victim of the stairs 13 Sep, 2020 @ 5:40pm 
But will it be added in the future?
melli_moo  [author] 17 Aug, 2020 @ 7:52am 
No, it does not.
Muse 15 Aug, 2020 @ 12:27pm 
does this have US Canada borders straightened? I like to draw maps in BT but it sucks for that purpose.

Thank you all for your input. According to the results of this poll, the next major version of APE will focus on the remaining parts of the East Coast of the United States, including Pennsylvania, Virginia, and upstate New York. I will try to post update pictures along the way, and will announce the release date of the next version when it comes close. Thank you!
melli_moo  [author] 28 Jul, 2020 @ 9:34am 
Alright y'all, it's been five days, and I'm closing the poll. There were 22 votes cast in total, with 2 of them being for the "Other" option. However, I have chosen to omit these results in the tally, because those who voted for "other" did not specify their preference. With that out of the way...

- The winner is "The remaining portions of the East Coast of the modern United States" with 7 votes, or 35%
- In second place, we have "Coastal Mexico", with five votes, or 25%
- At 3 votes apiece, we have "Northeastern Brazil" and "the Northern Andes" sharing the 3rd place spot with 15% each
- Lastly, we have "The Great Lakes region and the Ohio River Valley" with 2 votes, or 10%
- With zero votes we have "N/A, improve and retouch existing additions instead". "More provinces!" you all say! I hear ya, I hear ya!

Hi all, I'm running a poll right now to gauge interest in potential revamps of different areas under the scope of APE. The link is here: https://www.strawpoll.me/20652981 You can vote for more than one option, and if you would like to see an area not specified revamped, please vote for Other and post your opinion in the comments. The poll is also linked at the bottom of the description of the mod. Thank you!

So what's the takeaway? At the moment, I don't want to add CoTs to provinces, but I also don't want them to not have CoTs at all in the long-term. I think what I'll do in the future is add events to create centers of trade in provinces in the New World based on specific criteria and with some severe limits. So right now I think I'll keep the provinces that I add/alter Center of Trade-less, but that won't be the case forever.

Sorry for the essay, but I wanted to give my reasoning and some perspective to the question. ^^
melli_moo  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 6:18am 
(2/3) BT currently does not have any events or ways to create Centers of Trade in the Americas (outside of a few missions, I think) so what ends up happening is that European nations can totally suck all the value out of the trade nodes that they have colonies in with even a moderate-size trade ship fleet, since colonial nations don't have many province trade node power bonuses to help them keep some of the trade value in their nodes. Plus, New World provinces are poor as dirt, and unless the player or the AI goes on a development spree, they stay that way.
melli_moo  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 6:17am 
@KpopGiffica You are quite welcome!

@abanner99 It's tricky. Draiocht, the original author of Beyond Typus, is of the opinion that the New World should not have very many Centers of Trade in 1444, and so areas that BT alters in the Americas (like California, Cascadia, the Caribbean, and a few others) have very few Centers of Trade. It makes sense to me, honestly, because there are so many places in the New World that had the potential to be big, bustling economic centers, but only a few made the cut, like New York.

HOWEVER... (message length limit hit, see above)
abanner99 10 Jul, 2020 @ 12:27pm 
Any chance you could upgrade NY to a center of trade? During the timeline it was already one of the greatest trade cities in the continent. Great job!
Giffica 1 Jul, 2020 @ 2:13pm 
Glad this is updated, thanks for the hard work

yay

APE version 1.4 is live! Enjoy!
melli_moo  [author] 2 May, 2020 @ 2:08pm 
New update, version 1.3.2.
melli_moo  [author] 28 Apr, 2020 @ 2:53pm 
@Dave It's a mod conflict, yeah. You have another mod altering the area.txt file in the map folder.
melli_moo  [author] 18 Feb, 2020 @ 7:45am 
@Danny Thank you!
Danny Moxxie 17 Feb, 2020 @ 12:08pm 
fantastic mod <3
melli_moo  [author] 14 Feb, 2020 @ 1:59pm 
New update, version 1.3! Check the Change Notes tab for info!
Castle 24 Jan, 2020 @ 8:44pm 
Edit to my old comment: you can find the old version on github, just look for the commit before the one called "the great id update"
