Modifiers - help requested; wiki is outdated.

Can someone tell me how to actually add new modifiers?

So I want to add a modifier that makes it easier to make certain buildings, so like bg_heavy_industry or bg_mining gets a construction speed bonus, something like companies modifier.

There's this in 00_modifier_types (same with construction_efficiency_bonus for companies)

country_company_throughput_bonus_add={
decimals=0
color=good
percent=yes
game_data={
ai_value=0
}

Company construction efficiency is located in: 00_code_static_modifiers, so this is base bonuses that companies get, okay. There's also one's from principle group, so I know that I can add this modifier freely, as it is in "00_modifier_types".

1st question - is there a dictionary that explains what certain modifiers do? A database?

So if I add "country_company_throughput_bonus_add = X" as a modifier to tech, it's easy to add a bonus to a company via tech aswell, same with "country_company_construction_efficiency_bonus_add" "state_construction_mult = x" no problem, there.

Ex see below, I add this as a modifier to ex. steelworking and it works, no problem.

country_company_throughput_bonus_add = 0.2
country_company_construction_efficiency_bonus_add = 0.5

And my company buildings have bonus throughput and are made for less construction.

However, how do I add construction_efficiency to certain buildings WITHOUT companies while researching tech:

So from "modifier_types_md" I get this:

# while a modifier definition key that starts with `state_` with an entry in the same static modifier will flow through countries to all states in that country

I tried adding this to 00_modifier_types:

country_building_group_bg_heavy_industry_construction_bonus_add = {
decimals = 0
color = good
percent = yes
game_data = {
ai_value = 0
}

I based this on:
"Building_group_bg_heavy_industry_laborers_mortality_mult = 0.1" from static_modifiers while also adding "state" so it applies to a country.

Is the modifier ready to be used right now? Can I add this modifier to tech?

Ex. edit technology, add modifier: "country_building_group_bg_heavy_industry_construction_bonus_add = 0.1" to tech modifiers?

Or do i need to add something to "00_code_static_modifiers", like

industrial_boost = {
country_building_group_bg_heavy_industry_construction_bonus_add = 0.1
}

And then add modifier named "industrial_boost to tech?

Whatever I do I cannot do this right.

Am I doing something wrong? How to really make modifiers? Wiki says they are easily moddable, see, but I really

A modifier is essentially a variable used in internal calculations. However, unlike defines, modifiers are dynamically changeable within any modifier block. In general, modifiers are typically used to create a consistent and long-lasting effect that can be easily reversed.

And then this states this is outdated. So it's really really frustrating...https://vic3.paradoxwikis.com/Modifier_types

It is not possible to create modifiers in this manner, unfortunately. It is hard coded which modifiers can be added in the modifier definitions. As far as I know, there are no other types of modifiers that can be added except ones following the same format as the ones used in base game, such as goods_output_<goods name>_mult or as you mentioned, building_group_<building group name>_laborers_mortality_mult
