Very useful mod

I’d love a version where this is an unlockable Specialist perk, for balance!

Thank God! Sir, you created WOTC version. It seems that you don't need perfect information. I believe Gremlins Grab Lot can continue to work for me. I've been waiting for miracles.

@Rossofuoco Eh si, nato e cresciuto nella terra della pizza ahaha, stammi bene!

Ciao Mitico! Ma sei italiano quindi? Un saluto!
Veehementia  [author] 18 Jan, 2022 @ 7:25am 
@Rossocuore No need. Publishing an update now that will make you unable to target psi loot drops.
PS: Ciao! Curioso trovare un altro italiano qui :D

Well of course.. I just can't remember what happens when you have both a focus drop and an ordinary drop on the ground.. I will check it out and let you people know!
RustyDios 17 Jan, 2022 @ 10:56pm 
Well.. you could just.. not use the perk on Focus Loot ?
Last time I checked this still needs to be activated for use.
Rossocuore 17 Jan, 2022 @ 10:08pm 
Hi RustyDios! So there's no way to go around this problem, I assume. Right?
RustyDios 17 Jan, 2022 @ 12:54pm 
The collect loot perk likely can't tell the difference between a Focus Loot Drop and a Normal Loot Drop.. both are just a 'drop' with an item... in the case of Focus Loot Drops the item is "PsiFocusLoot" which can only be collected by Templars
Rossocuore 17 Jan, 2022 @ 12:32pm 
Is it intended behaviour for the gramlins to be sent on focus drops (which they actually don't grab in the end?)? It looks like a bug or glitch to me. Thanks for the mod BTW!

Working nicely in LWOTC

@NelVlesis All merit goes to RustyDios for that one, he's the one who bashed his head against the wall long enough to make it happen.

I am so glad finally the loot pick-up has a proper icon instead of the rainbow from hell. Nice job!

Can you see about make the psi orb that dropped by templar's skill not targetable? As only templar can use these, if i accidentally target it with a specialist's gremlin, i won't get anything and waste a move for nothing. Also could you change it to only cost 1 action instead of outright end the soldier's turn?

I have been thinking and I have a few suggestions

would be possible to add options with conditions to allow this ability to activate?

something like:
require item = true
item_name = XXXXX
So it would be possible for players to set any item they think it matches... maybe you can even add something like a datapad as a default item (unlocked by a vanilla research)

other options could include a tech research at the proving grounds or even a perk at the GTS.

I personally think that having to equip a utility item in order to use this ability would be the most fair, because you trade versatility for confort... that way it would not be too OP.

@Veehementia Thanks for the support!

@IceColdHeart I'm sorry you've had a bad a experience with the Community Highlander, but it really is one of the best mods out there. It solves many problems, allows mods to do so much more and is coded by some of the best modders the community has to offer. I'm running it personally with ~436 mods without issue. So if you have problems with your 50mods, then I'm sorry but one of those 50 is a bad mod.

@BTAxis This mod would have the same issue as the Tactical Options version on activating on 'Focus Drops', as these are actually just cleverly skinned loot drops with the only item in them being "PsiFocusLoot". There is no way yet for the -Loot Target- mods to tell the difference.
BTAxis 29 Aug, 2021 @ 10:00am 
I tried to see if I could run this mod together with [WOTC] Tactical Options , which also provides a Gremlins Grab Loot implementation. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't look like it works, even if I disable Tactical Options' gremlin loot.

I wanted to see if this mod has the same issue that the Tactical Options version has, namely it activates on Focus drops. Either way, maybe it's worth mentioning the incompatibility in the description.
Veehementia  [author] 29 Aug, 2021 @ 6:37am 
@IceColdHeart I don't know what kind of experience you had with the Highlander, but I can assure you, unless you're running that explicitly conflict with it, the Highlander is the single best mod for XCOM2.
In any case, I will not include Rusty's code in this mode and that's final.
IceColdHeart 29 Aug, 2021 @ 5:08am 
I agree it isnt good to "steal " code, but Rustys mod require X2WOTCCCommunityHighlander,
and this mod Causes more Problems as it solves. (my Experience)
I'm use over 50 Mods all without X2WOTC without any problems.
Veehementia  [author] 29 Aug, 2021 @ 1:46am 
@IceColdHeart RustyDios was the one who put in the effort and the code to solve the icon issue. It wouldn't be right to implement it in my mod, especially when his mod is also pretty useful.
IceColdHeart 29 Aug, 2021 @ 1:25am 
Thanks Guy, it work in middle of the game.
would be nice if you found a way to solve icon without other mod requirement.
Veehementia  [author] 27 Aug, 2021 @ 5:09pm 
@Valvatorez The grab loot ability is added as an additional ability attached to the Remote Hack ability ('IntrusionProtocol'), so as long as that GREMLIN is able to hack remotely, it will also be able to grab loot.

@Veehementia
Does this work with Shen's Gremlin(s) (using it on a custom super class) and mod added ones such as Asimov from Chosen Reward Variety?
Ironmonk 27 Aug, 2021 @ 12:58pm 
Thanks man, I was missing this one a lot.
RustyDios 27 Aug, 2021 @ 11:36am 
Thankyou for the WOTC port :)
