Additionally, these have lower priority than the mod files: if a mod is set to unload previously-loaded files within a generated folder via replace_path or contains a copy of the same edited file within of itself, editing via nudge may appear to not show changes until the files are ported over to the mod files and they get loaded (Such as via the 'update'/'load' button in the nudge, depending on the menu, or by restarting the game). These will be loaded by default in base game as well if left there. The nudge will drop files in the User directory directly, such as the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Hearts of Iron IV/ folder (Default location within Windows), with the folders of /history/, /map/, and /localisation/ potentially being created inside of that folder.

At times it can be better to do manual editing, but the nudge is still important to know of and use.
Using the nudge can make the map editing much easier, but the tool is still unstable. The error log after selecting a country in singleplayer will contain all of the map errors for sure. Some of the errors marked with MAP_ERROR may not appear in the error log when it opens during the main menu loading. Without debug mode, any error marked with MAP_ERROR will cause the game to fail to load and it wouldn't be possible to open nudge within the main menu: some map errors may lead to the game being impossible to open in singleplayer. Debug mode turned on via launch settings is essentially necessary for map modding. When exporting the map in GIMP, "do not write color space information" must be checked on. If a map was saved incorrectly, the later section on details of the BMP format provides an easy way to correct the map. Photoshop and GIMP are alternatives that will always work, but the mode should never be changed from indexed when using them. Due to how the game reads BMP files, many image editors such as or Microsoft Paint can't be used for most bitmap files, provinces and world_normal being exceptions. It can be preferable to open these with text editors for greater performance. These may be edited within a text editor or a table editor such as Excel or OpenOffice. Hearts of Iron IV/map/*.csv files are CSV tables.
Commonly these are used for the cosmetic appearance of the map, aside from the provinces bitmap. Hearts of Iron IV/map/*.bmp files are referred to as bitmaps. 15.1 Supply areas (For versions prior to 1.11).13 Unit model and victory point positions.
