cfglimitsdefinitionuser.xml
Optional user extension file for custom Central Economy categories, usages, values, and tags.
Overview
cfglimitsdefinitionuser.xml is an optional extension file for custom Central Economy limit definitions. It lets you add custom categories, usages, values, or tags without editing the main vanilla cfglimitsdefinition.xml.
Use it when mods or server-specific loot tiers need their own labels referenced by types.xml.

Checks Before Restart
| Check | Reason |
|---|---|
| Unique names | Duplicate labels can make CE behavior hard to reason about. |
| Referenced by types | Unused labels add noise and hide real config intent. |
| Correct file load | Make sure cfgeconomycore.xml references the user definition file when required. |
| Consistent casing | Treat labels as case-sensitive when matching across files. |
