Overview[]

Modding Stellaris requires knowledge of various effects, triggers, scopes and modifiers. Having to memorize these can be quite difficult. This wiki is here to serve as a reference point for those who need to use such things.

Effects[]

Effects are used in functions such as Events, where the modder wants to cause something to occur ingame.

Triggers[]

Triggers are used to check before executing blocks of effects. These are commonly used in Events, as well as many of the files found in the common folder.

Global Triggers
War Triggers
Alliance Triggers
Sector Triggers
Country Triggers
System Triggers
Planet Triggers
Army Triggers
Fleet Triggers
Ship Triggers
Leader Triggers
Tile Triggers
Pop Triggers

Scopes[]

Scopes are what both triggers and effects are contained in. Imagine a country. When an effect would affect a country, we say that effect is fired on the country scope. Understanding the importance of scopes is key to understanding how to use effects and triggers.

Modifiers[]

Modifiers are variables that control parts of Stellaris' gameplay. These are created internally, and as such you cannot create your own modifier. Modifiers are placed within files such as 00_static_modifiers.txt where they are then referred by effects such as add_modifier, which is used to apply modifiers to scopes.

Although localisation is fairly straight forward, there are various syntaxical nuances that are important to know of.
