Yep, It is indeed possible to fix this by prefixing ideas.

This might be because of a random space in the ai will do factor section. It happened to me multiple times.

 you got any good ideas to fix it?

 It might be other problems in the completion reward sections. That's really all i can think of

Hey bro how can I find ACE in your mod i want to test it out

The thing is, that mod, as the name suggests, is an expansion to my simply called states that adds more... well... states, which isn't published anywhere. This means that you need to create an Aceh state to be able to play as Aceh, and on top of that, Aceh is meant to be played when all nations are released.

Oh and im not working on the focus tree of it and it most likely doesn't 100% work anyway. That is if you want to use the focus tree.

Edit: The all nations being released thing, it's really only required for the focus tree and just liberating Asia will work.

Randomized names will occur when there are two IDs which are the same, to avoid any duplication issues.

For example if in one idea list you add the idea "Corrupt Government" and in another, you add the same thing, the first list's it will have the ID corrupt_government, but the second one's will be randomly generated each time.

To avoid this, you can assign a prefix to your ideas list, and then they will both be as you expect. E.g. list_1_corrupt_government and list_2_corrupt_government

 Hmm. It would make sense for that to be the reason. But im not working on focuses right now. If i ever get back to it i'll try.

Which mod are you having this issue with? Also could you give an example of focus, and the focus tree it is in, which is giving this issue?

 It's the nations for states mod in my profile. In the focus tree of Jaxa, there are 7 focuses meant to give national ideas, with none of them working. The picture i took is the modernization of weapons focus, but as i said previously, this goes for all focuses that are supposed to add national ideas.

It's kinda weird because in that same mod, there is a herzegovina focus tree (which im not working on anymore) which has focuses that give national ideas and there, they actually do give national ideas.

(Edit : I finally fixed it. I left this case for a while though)

 May I ask how did you fix? because am facing the same issue even though it has worked for me before 

-Seboomer

 So in the ideas file, if the name of the idea is some random letters (they change every time you export it, i made a post about it on the forums), go to the file of the focus tree, then replace the name of the idea you wanted to add with that name (make sure none of them are capitalized)

What i mean is that in the focus tree, for example, if it says "add_ideas = incompetant_army", but in the ideas file it's something like VLeHgjzc, just replace "incompetant_army" with whatever the name of the idea you intended to add in the ideas file. I hope i could explain

This didn't happen during the first national ideas i created. It started after i created a 3rd set of ideas for a focus tree in my mod. It's pretty annoying because any time i export my mods it always gets randomized. Though the localization work just fine. It only happens in the ideas folder. Here is an example.

Whenever i complete a focus that is supposed to add a national idea, the tooltip just says this

I don't know why this happens either, but you can just fix this by saving the flag upside down and then adding it to the mod. Thats what i do.
