I discovered that if you use solely the MEC Trooper mod and there are no SPARKs in your roster, the Repair skill, and every other skill that affects Repair, is useless. It doesn't work on MEC Troopers. Only healing skills work. Which begs the question as to why MEC Troopers can train in the Repair skill but cannot use it? Anyways, just some feedback for your hard work guys. Thank you! =)

Ok, thank you for the info, that was very helpful, have a nice day.
FearTheBunnies  [author] 29 Jun @ 11:06am 
Yes, the two are not mutually exclusive. We had to add in the removal mod to turn off SPARKs otherwise the two would have existed with each other. Please note, though, that the SPARK will be the stock X2 spark as we don't include any overhauls for them in this mod list.
Bibaboy 29 Jun @ 10:04am 
Understood. Thank you. Can I still have MECs if I enable SPARKs?
FearTheBunnies  [author] 29 Jun @ 9:49am 
@Bibaboy If you desire to have SPARKs as well, you will have to remove a mod called "Sparks-B-Gone" from your modlist
RustyDios 29 Jun @ 8:50am 
If you read the season and modpack correctly you'll notice Sparks were removed in favour of using MEC Troopers as the big tanky units :)
Bibaboy 29 Jun @ 8:48am 
Hello! I cant find a similar question here. How do you get SPARKs in this modpack playthrough? I cant seem to get the Lost Towers mission. Is it delayed? (I've already built Proving grounds and MEC Foundry)
Caine 20 Jun @ 9:50pm 
Awesome thank you RustyDios. =)
RustyDios 20 Jun @ 9:14am 
Look for the XComGameData_SoldierSkills.ini
in particular the "RECKONING_COOLDOWN=6" line.. and change to suit your hearts desire

Keep in mind 6 turns is actually the default cooldown for the Skirmisher melee. It's possible that this season just simply "didn't change it"... when other season have had mods that do (like PCP's Skirmisher re-balance)
Caine 20 Jun @ 8:26am 
@ProfileName .. Appreciate the insight. I'm on episode 19 and noticed it every time he field his Skirmisher, and seeing as this was months ago and I'm encountering it now means there has not been any fix that I've seen. Which means that it's happening somewhere else and impacting the skirmisher indirectly. I'm wondering if the MOCX mods are doing this? I'll update it if I find it. Thanks everyone. =)
