Supply drop month. As of this moment, the refresh rate is not configurable.

is there any way to change the frequency of it refreshing the POIs pool? I feel like 1 month per refresh is a bit too frequent, so i'd like to change it to something like 3-4 months

Also, regarding this month it's actual month in the game or "each supply drop as month" like for missions generation, which is 21 days?

@FearTheBunnies, thanks for your response. I'm a season xcom player and making my games harder and harder from one to another by using certain mods and house rules. I guess I can just ignore the extra POI which pops up, but it does annoy me and may sometimes tempt me as well (I like the fact you have to win a mission to get one of these).

No, there are currently no config options to disable the bonus POI spawn. Generally speaking, the one POI per month does not throw off overall balance.

I tend to play with additional configured research/build time so I usually end the game after 1.5 - 2 years, at which point the only available POI is weapon merchant, so this mod seem to come in handy. However, I don't like the fact that after each supply drop, it pops up a new POI. Is there anyway to disable this behavior?

Roze,

You can find the base list in \Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Config , in the file DefaultGameBoard.ini

Look for POI_ , for example POI_Rookies X2PointOfInterestTemplate

I use https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833889867&searchtext=poi to disable awful POI like rookies, soldier and supplies.

Now if only I could find a list...

@FearTheBunnies Gotchya, that'll make it alot more fun. Previous run had situations where it was nothing but rookies and soldiers for all POIs, which left me just sitting at resistance havens for days.

@Fiddlesticks There are configs available that will allow you to define certain POIs for exclusion of the refresh, meaning you can set the Rookie POI to only run its course during the early game.

I love this mod. Only issue I have is that it loves to throw soldiers and rookies POIs at me when I do not care for them. Even mid-late game when rookies are pointless.

Yes, this mod is safe with LWotC. Cannot say for the suggested mods.

Thanks for the mod! Do I need it / is it compatible with LWotC?

Just finished a campaign with about 685 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

Indeed! And with Mitzrutis Mods you can even easily create your own which will be recycled by this one

That mod is going to be so useful for my campaign. Finally not always the same scanning sites in the late game.

Cool. Glad it is working for you now.

With said option set to 'true' I went back on a save for the last turn of the last mission, and advanced the month again. It seems to be working now. Already got a Rookies scan, which is probably a good sign, since it's probably one from early game that I skipped.

I'll continue to check if the scans will keep appearing. If not, I'll let you know.

For now, thanks a lot for the quick response! <3

@DuMinh4 In XComRefreshPOIs.ini there is a config call bDebug that is set to false by default. Could you flip that to true for me and run your game past another month (aka, having the pop-up appear which tells you about your Supply Drop and Chosen info). You can either use something like paste-bin or Discord to get the log to me so I can investigate. You can find me on the main modding server and direct message me from there to get me the log it generates.

Installed mid campaign, but unfortunately it did not work. I ran out of scan sites, and installing this mod did not recycle any, even after a month has passed.

Lovely and so very very useful.

good

This Mod is really awesome! Thanks a lot for your work

@Dundalis why would u like this for LWOTC ? can't run out poi in LWOTC can u ?

Good god I think everyone will be happy to see this one!

Thank you!

Yes. Be aware of adding scanning site plus. I bricked my save by a crash after getting one of the missions to spawn with that mod this and lwotc. Tried a new save without it and it works fine so far.

Is this compatible with LWOTC?

@Sinapus 100% safe to add mid-campaign

...and of course, I find the POI_Name in the GameBoard ini file right after I post that question.

Either way, this looks nifty, just waiting to see if I can use it in the middle of my current campaign or if I should wait.

Is this usable mid-campaign? (The description seems to say so, but I wanted to be sure.)

Also, where do I find the name for the POIs?

Excellent idea, FearTheBunnies, thank you.

Very cool
