works fine for wotc, does not work for lwotc

Do you know which line to change starting elerium cores?

Hi! one quick question.

What should I add in XComGameData.ini in order to add Elerium Cores and/or corpses?

Thanks in advance and thanks for the mod!

Why is it that when I manually change the values that change the AWC settings in XComGameData.ini, they don't have any effect unless A Better Start is enabled? Is there another flag in the .ini files that also needs to be set?

Specifically, I'm trying to match the following settings from ABS, without using the full mod.

XComHeadquarters_NumAWCAbilities=8
XComHeadquarters_MinAWCTalentRank=1
XComHeadquarters_MaxAWCTalentRank=10

How do I change the healing rate. My boys are healing way to quickly for my tastes.

on XcomGameDate how do i increase the research time the way it was

Issue I don't get 3000 anymore, next issue I start with a decent 1000-1500
Nothing else is broken to my knowledge my playthroughs
But this won't be fixed anyway

Every time I start a new game, I only start with 800 supplies instead of 3000. Would anyone know what could cause this to happen?

lw_officerpack i get as an error for this one

idk why, but ever since i installed the three better start,rookies, and arsenal, my game just freezes on the second scan when you first start the game. Does anyone know a solution to this?

This mod isn't working for me for some reason

Hey man, I don't know when you'll see this if ever but I want to know I really appreciate this mod. Everything seems to work still except for one particular section, and I really hope you'll get around to fixing it someday. Starting supplies is not 3000, nor 1000 per material.

This isn't working for me, i'm not sure what to do

@TrooperCoon worked for me...a little too well. Ended up turning it off since there's easy then there's game journo difficulty. Guess which one this is :D.

This mod also makes all enemies drop loot, which doesn't say out right.

for some unknown reason this mod doesnt work

So um... just out of curiosity, if I do a tutorial, does this game not recognize the mod?

@Mr_awesome88
Yes

This still work?

what line needs to be altered to have 6 soldiers in the ship to start, like (A better start) vanilla?

I believe XCOM made an update recently. I, personally, have not tried the mods recently, but I do believe Scuba is aware of some of the problems.

This and many others from you are not working at all. I've tried only this mod, re-installed game, clearing config and shaders.

Are you using any other mods to alter soldier's stats or abilities?

Am using this mod, and seems to work fine. The question I have is somewhat related to this mod. When my soldiers return from any mission. They all come back "shaken", and need 20 days to recover. This is happening with all soldiers, regardless of rank. Even my sharpshooters, who never see direct battle because their sniping from the rear, are shaken as well. Do you know what is causing this? And if so, what setting, in what file, do I need to change to stop this? Thanks

Thanks for the assist.

Yeah, after unsubbing the mod and clearing the configs ought to do it.

Hi Choke, this is a question that gets asked every once and while. The game builds a configs directory with all the merged mod file changes. Sometimes it can get out of sync leaving mod settings in place after the mod is removed. Visit, https://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/217132417-XCOM-2-Basic-Tech-Troubleshooting
Scroll down to the topic "Delete the configs and cached shaders folders and Verify Local Cache" and follow those steps. You can skip clearing the shader config cache.
That said, there are some settings that get baked into your save game so removing the mod may have no effect. You said that this happens with a new game so that isn't your issue but I figured I would mention it all the same.

I tried turning the mod off, but the changes are still in effect when I start I new game. How do I go back to vanilla settings?

Hi FoxZulu, sorry to hear it. Yep all the mods work together. The first version against just the vanilla game had them all together but folks wanted better weapons with out too much OP on the base strategy part of the game. So load order can get in the way if you have other newer mods that adjust similar attributes about the game play. You can try to unsub all my mods, clear the cache config directory, start up the game then exit, sub my mods again, and play the game.

I have tried this mod and the other 2: Better Arsenal and Better Rookies. Dont they work together? Because for me non of the Mods seem to work and I dont know why. I deleted the mentioned files and it didnt fix anything for me.
I tried the Lite versions and different difficulties :/

Haha! You're awesome, Scuba!

Yep, click the [LWOTC] A.B.* link above in the detail. I have created LWOTC versions and LITE versions of my mods.

YO Scuba Steve! Any chance this works for Long War of the Chosen?

For those who are interested I have put out "A Better Start" for Chimera Squad.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2077831303

If you have XCS then give this a try. I'll be coming out with a Lite version and then A Better Agent and A Better Arsenal all with Lite versions here soon.

LWotC Compatibility?

Ok i'll try that... thanks. :)

Are you sure you followed the same path I placed above for the xComGameData.ini? I opened mine at that path just to check and all my adjustments are there. I also checked the tuning file and found the other changes. Check the ID in the path to the file to make sure you are looking at my mod's config files.
And no, you do not need the modding tool. Only reason I ever needed it was for the packaging. All of my mods simply override the ini files. (Hope that helps)

Hey, in XComGameData.ini this is the only thing that I see :

"[XComGame.XGStrategy]
; add second wave options like this
;+DEBUG_SecondWaveOptions="BetaStrike""
Nothing more... Do I need to install the scom modding tool in steam?

In the details above:
"Starting supplies is 3000+ with intel, elerium, and alloys starting out at a 1000 each if not better."

Search in the XComGameData.ini file

What should I write to search for resources to modify ?

@Scuba Steve -- thank you.

okay thank

Check out the xcomGameData.ini (path listed above) and read through the variables. They are pretty verbose in their naming so you should be able to find where I tweaked this speed. I cannot remember off the top of my head.

@scuda i know how red this code how can i lower the speed of healing

Hi @Snipe, I recommend using the "Lite" version of the mods. Links in the table above. Still OP but not as much.

Interesting mod. It works but the values are so big in some areas I had to edit back to default.

Sorry to the last set of players that were struggling in having this mod work. I have ran it and have had no issue but that may only mean that my set of other mods are not getting in the way or that my cache is different from others. Without being able to get it to fail for me I am unable to debug it.
I would recommend trying the Lite version (link above) and seeing if that is better. If not it may be worth unsubscribing, dumping your cache, and then re-subscribing.

Well does this mod work? i cant find any info that it does

I have been trying to play with this MOD. Seems like I have played the first mission about 20 times and when I start the second mission the game crashes. Any help would be much appreciated.

For some odd reason, this file, with a better rookie and arsenal crashes my game. The log says "Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'WOTC_ABetterStart': Can't find file 'WOTC_ABetterStart'"
