@Wrath
you need to buy the resistance ring upgrades, by default its +1 mission per upgrade

_____ INFANTRY IMPOTENCY _________

After downloading an buildable ADVENT SPARK mod, and an BUILDABLE SHIVS mod, I've had my organic units becoming backed up in barracks: earning promotions and bonuses and becoming field captains gradually since my squad is all robotics.

The SPARKS have custom railguns from a reskinning mod. You can slap on an default MEC gun for them such as the railgun, use multiple upgrade slots WOTC to upgrade the weapons 12 times, and then finally use the reskinning mod to slap a reskin on the weapon: and the best part is your upgrades carry over to the reskin, as well as the reskin doing more damage: up to 75 damage optimally and having sniper range. The reskins are part of a team fortress 2 mec package I got off nexus, before finding it on the workshop and re-subbing.

TL DR ; I have high damage ADVENT SPARK and SHIVS that literally have taken over all the squads work, I.E. : YES, ROBOTS TOOK XCOMS JOBS.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to include future mod manager options for increasing the amount of covert ops available to the player? With it being configurable from 1 to 100?

A brief explanation of why I could possibly want 100 covert ops in progress, what ever would drive me to such madness? Well: My organic units are literally collecting dust...

The article is what I like to call: INFANTRY IMPOTENCY, and will be listed above as a good ol' fireside read. Heck, ya can even make it into an audiobook if ya want with an character TTS site...

Change the number of global actions here to get more than just 2. Switching the 1 to a 2 equals 3 total covert actions on the resistance ring. "2 = 3" or "3 = 4" ETC...

+MAX_ACTIONS_GLOBAL=1

Per faction. Meaning their influence. Base influence 1 action higher influence more action
huntersorce20 7 Jan, 2024 @ 2:05pm 
I don't quite understand what the config options mean in the xcomgame.ini. like here are the options:
+MAX_ACTIONS_GLOBAL=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[0]=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[1]=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[2]=2
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[3]=2
+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeI
+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeII

so what does perfaction(2)=2 mean as opposed to perfaction(3)=2? does that mean when i encounter the second faction i can have 2 actions per faction? and where does the influence come in, I don't see any detail here corresponding to influence, only max actions, resring upgrades, and actions per faction.

Подскажите мод, где много тайных операций. А то я все выполню и приходится долго ждать когда появятся новые операции.
Mashed99 YT 24 Jul, 2023 @ 5:36pm 
is there a way in the config to make it add 2 actions when i get the 2nd resistance ring upgrade?
Rikimaru 6 Jul, 2023 @ 11:20am 
Enjoying this for my Legendary/Iron Man/No Deaths playthrough.
Most of my character pool just sits in the barracks doing fuck all. Not realistic.
DeathWizard00 23 Jun, 2023 @ 11:18am 
So i found out you click one mission to send your guys out like normal then just just click a different mission to send a different group out on then a 3rd mission if fully upgraded to send the last one out on...i hope this helps someone else took me a couple of hour to do it

How do I select another Covert Action? I installed this mid campaign, on regular WOTC. I've upgraded the resistance ring, but still don't get the option to select another covert action. I have Reapers at +1, and XCOM at +2
♋ Zero Two 7 Mar, 2023 @ 4:37pm 
for me keep saying that I can do more than 1 covert mission..
even if I modify the files

Hi, where is this file? i haven´t seen it in the games folder.
dbzmaster12 9 May, 2022 @ 10:16pm 
Works with Mod Jam LWoTC. LWotC's github page says it includes changes from this mod, but I did not get a second covert action, even at maximum influence.

[MUltipleCovertActions.NewUICovertAction]
+MAX_ACTIONS_GLOBAL=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[0]=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[1]=1
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[2]=2
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[3]=2
;+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeI
+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeII

In the .ini file. I added a semicolon on the first resistance ring upgrade to only have two covert actions only when fully upgraded. Left the rest at default. Works as intended.

I played about a month into the campaign more, and there seems to be no issue.

Does anyone know the .ini setting time reduced by slotting in an engineer? Even with 2 covert actions, it becomes pretty unbalanced.
EnderFox 29 Apr, 2022 @ 3:51pm 
Works like a charm! It IS very OP so for those of you looking for just one extra covert action (like me), you'll just have to show self restraint! Upgrading the resistance ring gives you an extra card slot AND one extra action for those who aren't sure how it works.
Object1337🐺 8 Feb, 2022 @ 3:02pm 
I've made
[MUltipleCovertActions.NewUICovertAction]
+MAX_ACTIONS_GLOBAL=10
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[0]=3
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[1]=3
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[2]=4
+MAX_ACTIONS_PERFACTION[3]=4
+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeI
+GLOBAL_ACTIONS_UPGRADE=ResistanceRing_UpgradeII
And i can still use 1 action, don't have any resistance ring upgrades x)
Object1337🐺 8 Feb, 2022 @ 2:44pm 
So, to send two action's at same time i need to have max influnse in all 3 fractions?
ammonh 7 Feb, 2022 @ 7:18am 
Added into an ongoing campaign with ~100 other mods and a fully upgraded ring + all factions maxed. Works great. Read the mod-descriptions before whinging.
Morticio 7 Nov, 2021 @ 8:17am 
it still doesn´t allow me to have more than one, is there anithing i have to do?
Cúchulainn 7 Oct, 2021 @ 2:38am 
@Khan not that I know of, but it overwrites anything to do with CovertActions so make sure any other mod you have installed doesnt affect that!
KhanKeal 12 Sep, 2021 @ 4:03pm 
side note: does this mod require/conflict with community highlander mods???
KhanKeal 12 Sep, 2021 @ 11:11am 
This doesnt seem to be working. I've upgraded my resistance ring twice, and had two supply drops, and still can only have a single covert action going at one time. Can anyone help? I know it worked in the past, so I dont know what mod it might be conflicting with. what does this mod overwrite that might be conflicting with it?
Dummie 8 Apr, 2021 @ 5:25pm 
Added mid-campaign, doesn't seem to work for me. Not sure what it could be overriding.
Jabel 5 Apr, 2021 @ 12:35pm 
Was working fine then came back from a mission and noticed one of my two covert actions was missing from the event queue. Scanned so time could pass and both actions completed normally even though one wasnt showing on the list. Ever since the mod's stopped working. I can only do one covert action at a time now.
Planewalker 1 Feb, 2021 @ 12:33pm 
Really nice mod with good logic on the upgrades.

Thank you
NRFBToyStore 28 Dec, 2020 @ 10:03pm 
@Theamson Does... LWotc add multiple covert actions on it's own? If so, then, you don't need this mod. If it doesn't...and you want this feature, then, you need this mod.
Teamson 14 Oct, 2020 @ 4:00pm 
just to be sure, with LWotc i dont need this, right? ^^
Komissar Gebet 1 Jun, 2020 @ 11:19pm 
Does this mod work retroactively? I mean, I'm already in a (extremely) heavily modified campaign and I have already built improvements to the resistance ring and improved influence with the factions.
yes_commander 26 May, 2020 @ 8:46pm 
Working as intended as far as I can tell. I have skirmies at Medium Influence (1 card allowed), other factions at Low, one Ring upgrade and I'm running two covert ops at a time. Added this to a (heavily modded) campaign in progress (before I upgraded the Ring) with no issues.
Dragon32 17 May, 2020 @ 4:08pm 
@pheonix89
What about increasing your influence with each faction?
pheonix89 17 May, 2020 @ 12:50pm 
Upgrading the resistance ring did jackall for me.
Nero 17 May, 2020 @ 10:51am 
it did work but then it doesnt i dont get it
HotelCharliHill 16 Apr, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
Hm... I did that at one point and tested it, but I can't remember if that was when it didn't work or when it did work. thanks, I'm still subbed so we'll soon see :)
Franz Kafka 16 Apr, 2020 @ 3:05pm 
@HotelCharliHill - you need to upgrade the Resistance Ring to unlock simultaneous covert actions
HotelCharliHill 27 Mar, 2020 @ 12:36am 
Okay so I playtested this again and I was only able to perform one covert action mission. Is it because it was a new campaign and I needed to increase influence to do other covert actions? Or do you mean "increased to 2 at maximum influence" allows more than one covert action with a specific faction, when by default with your mod you can do multiple covert actions at once, but only 1 per faction at a time?
HotelCharliHill 12 Mar, 2020 @ 10:03pm 
Which "Upcoming events in hours" or "better upcoming events" sort of mod that tells hours rather than days for very fast approaching events is this mod compatible with? I'm getting a FPS killing conflict - UIEventQueue. Thanks.
LightenedDark 11 Jan, 2020 @ 3:28pm 
Resistance Ring+ also has 3 covert operations at a time. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1624997086
Dragon32 2 Jan, 2020 @ 7:04am 
@Zwitter
Which Resistance Ring upgrades have you made? Which factions have you contacted?
I'm Mr Meeseeks, LOOK AT ME! 2 Jan, 2020 @ 2:55am 
ive installed this mod but and played through 20 hours but so far i've only bee nable to assign one covert operation at a time, i have 200 plus mod including facility mod but nothing that touches my resistance ring, so i am unsure
Tim_ 19 Oct, 2019 @ 4:40pm 
It is working just fine for me in my current campaign with over 100 mods including this one (at least it was yesterday - Ive not played today).
Drakulas 19 Oct, 2019 @ 2:56pm 
Just a warning to everyone this mod seems to not work anymore. Trying to scan anything on the map with this mod installed causes the entire game to crash to desktop.
Tim_ 8 Oct, 2019 @ 5:01pm 
I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. It all went well. Love this mod.
BemusedManatee 9 Sep, 2019 @ 5:09pm 
@Havoc Squad Not sure if you ever managed to find it or not, but in case it's of use to anyone else, the Config files are in /steamapps/workshop/268500/1130967851/Config

The XComGame file in that folder has the settings you're looking for.
Havoc Squad 15 Aug, 2019 @ 8:05pm 
sorry to bother you guys, but where exactly do i find the .ini file to change to number of covert operations i can do at the same time? i've read through the description, through most of the comments, but somehow i wasn't able to find it
is it inside my Config folder located within the WotC Steam folders or is it within the WotC folders located on Documents/My Games/...
which .ini do i have to change exactly and what does the line say where i can change the number?

i know that this i probably kinda easy to solve, but i rly couldn't find it on my own, sorry
not that smart when it comes to .ini files and stuff like that :/
Ddraig Lleuad 13 Aug, 2019 @ 6:14pm 
I did, yes, d'oh >.>
Uuugggg 25 Jun, 2019 @ 5:40pm 
(You probably mean Covert Action Missions)
Ddraig Lleuad 23 Jun, 2019 @ 10:21am 
In combination with Multiple Covert Actions, this is genuinely the best mod I've found for the game. The increased tempo of the game goes that extra bit to finally solve the A-Team problem that WOTC only mitigated for me, as well as really making me feel like a commander, making strategic choices rather than just reacting.
