Vanilla Overwrites, Engine Adjustments & Defs (OVERWRITE)

• Paradox Target Directories: common/defines/ or direct filename targeting in structural folders
• Rule Reminder: Modifying core system defines alters baseline values like calculations, ship commands, or path tracking limits globally. Defs adjustments load via FIOS rules; naming your override file with a top-priority alphabetical sorting token (e.g., !_DEBCF_defines.txt) ensures the parser applies your framework settings cleanly over default parameters.

Warning

Overwrites can't use our Naming Convention in Framework Name Convention for Objects and Files wiki page. Use the Vanilla Object/File name exactly.
