    I uploaded the save file to pdx.tools and tells me that I spent:
  • Show HN: Rust nom parsing Starcraft2 Replays into Arrow for Polars data analysis
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Oct 2023
    Thanks for sharing, very inspiring. I love Rust for parsing video game replays / save files. I've authored a Rocket League replay parser (boxcars) and an entire suite of web visualizations (via Webassembly) for EU4 called pdx.tools https://pdx.tools

    It's not easy to work with proprietary formats, but they've both become pretty popular, so I would 100% recommend sinking more time into this project as long as it scratches your itch. Gamers are always looking for more stats and deeper insights

  • Nation Explorer - browse national ideas directly from the game files (early test release)
    3 projects | /r/eu4 | 19 Jun 2023
    I'm not sure though how many people would like to download an application just for this purpose. While this feature has indeed not been implemented by any other tool, you can find other web-based ones like https://eu4.osallek.net/wiki/1.35.3/idea-groups for ideas and https://pdx.tools for general analysis with more diverse features.
  • Is there a way to look at all tabs and map modes after you finish a game?
    1 project | /r/eu4 | 5 Jun 2023
    If you don't play on ironman, you can use the continue button to get into the game again. For ironman saves, you can look at the map modes which are available in the lobby when loading the save. Or you can melt the save to turn it into a non-ironman mode. Or you can activate a mod which just changes the enddate to continue playing. But this disables achievements and you have to make sure that the mod changes nothing else, because other changes will likely break your save(so don't use extended timeline). Or you can use websites likes skanderbeg.pm or pdx.tools to see information about your save

    You could ask the pdx.tools developers in their discord. They often implement features which are suggested to them
  • Is there a way to a switch countries in Ironman? Not to play as them, just to check what’s going on internally.
    1 project | /r/eu4 | 18 May 2023
    You can melt the save (e.g. with pdx.tools ) and then switch to them to see the details
  • TIR (today i remember) you can check if you've fired the radical reforms event on pdx.tools
    1 project | /r/eu4 | 9 May 2023
    R5: You can use pdx.tools to check if some advisors events have fired in your game already. I don't usually forget if i have fired radical reforms or not in my game already, but this was a quite early one, and the Korean into Korean EoC mission trees are melting my mind atm. They are great tho. I mean totally op, which is nice, but all the if, if else and whatnot are heavy in this one.
  • Another Mehmet's Ambition

    You don't need to wait for the rebels to span. If they're unwilling to negotiate from the handle rebels screen it means you still have too much Sunni land. Unfortunately the game does a very poor job of indicating this. There's a website called pdx.tools that apparently is very good at helping here but I usually just give away one province at a time, let a day pass, and see if I've reached the necessary count. I've included pics of the flips below.
  • How to convert to pagan?
    1 project | /r/eu4 | 25 Apr 2023
    You can upload your save here: https://pdx.tools/ to see how much dev each religion has.
  • 1.35 trading favors bug? (question)

    I dropped one of the saves into pdx.tools & it doesnt show domination in the list of DLCs, so exiting europa somehow removed the DLC from the save. :(
