NVM, I managed to achieve the goal - however i had to start a new campaign for the change to take effect. I've copied [<numbers>] table from dropship_tier2.json, removed two last entries, and set min, max and val to 10.

Increasing max soldier capacity for Skyhawk-X2 is not working. Tried first to raise it to 10, then exactly as you put 18, but for both - nope.

First, you're going to need some spelling and grammar lessons.

You can customize the 12 starting soldiers. Hint: checkout "tutorial_pool" "Petr Ivanov", Copy paste him to one of the 12 soldiers files in "starting_pool" folder. Be sure to change the number to where he will be placed in the Skyhawk with the correct number for the soldier file he was placed in, e.g., "$content: 1". You can also customize stats, age, gender, and nationality of all the starting 12.

Also, found out how to mod Research Times:
In -strategy/masters/projects/research/, there are files called research_duration0-9. Each file contains the info on research time. If you want, you can change the "_max": line to whatever you want in each file.

In -strategy/projects/research/, each research file's first line is

"$content": "xenonauts-:-Xenonauts.GameScreens.Strategy-::-masters/projects/research/research_durationX.json",

You can change the file name for the duration0-9.json. It will use whatever "_max": is in that duration file.

Anyone figure out how to make it so when you research something, then engineer it, it gives you infinite? For instance, I'd really like for Accelerated weapons to replace the base ballistic weapons.

Ichthyic 9 Feb @ 3:55am

...and now your magnetic shotgun has a range of 12 instead of 9. again, the templates for all items past their basic versions only normally include JUST the changes made to the basic version. if you want to change something they didn't, you must add the line from the basic template for that item to the template you are modding, and then edit that. be aware... I think they did this to ever so slightly improve loading speeds (don't have to load lines that don't exist after all). It's possible if you edit enough lines in enough templates, your loading times might get ever so slightly longer. probably not noticeably though.

Ichthyic 9 Feb @ 3:49am

1. load up the template for the standard ballistic shotgun.
2. find the line that controls the range of the weapon. In this case it is:
{"_min":0.0,"_val":9.0,"_max":3.402823E+38,"$type":"Xenonauts.GroundCombat.LongRange"},
copy that EXACTLY from the original template, including the comma at the end.
3. open the template for the magnetic shotgun (ballistic_shotgun_v2.json)
4. find where it starts listing the components for the weapon. in this case the first component listed is the one for armour penetration:
{"_min":0.0,"_val":3.0,"_max":100.0,"$type":"Xenonauts.GroundCombat.ArmourPenetration"},
5. RIGHT after the comma in the above line, paste the line for range value you copied from the basic template.
6. Now change the value 9.0 in that line to 12.0.
7. save the file and reload the game.
