Could anyone tell me, are these changes even relevant if I'm using this mod in conjunction with Covert Infiltration Mod?

I know the Supply Drop Timer & Force Level changes are, and I've deleted the MissionDecks. However the Tactical Mission Difficulty changes under this heading are no use due to the vanilla Guerrilla Ops not existing anymore?

[XComGame.X2StrategyElement_DefaultMissionSources]

And also what do these lines actually do specifically?

ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[0]=0
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[1]=1
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[2]=1
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[3]=1
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[4]=2
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[5]=2
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[6]=2
ImpossibleMonthlyDifficultyAdd[7]=3

Love it. Using it with a slightly modified Avatar Project Re-Curve by Alex Nares and it makes the game so much less crowded. Definite improvement. One thing of note - I'm suddenly very starved for supplies so that every supply raid and covert ops is suddenly very important. Maybe a little too important.
Still, very lovely mod.

Thank you for the duration fix!

"It's now 15 days on average for Commander and below"
Just FYI, that is incorrect. It seems to be set on 20 days for Commander.

It'd be cool if there was a way to increase research times along with this.

Can I install this mid game?

oh, cool

No they'll work fine.

I'm guessing this and "Plot Gated Chosen Missions" don't play well with eachother.

Ok thanks. I see that I can delete the changes here as well and leave your as is. Thanks

@jahsinha they will both affect the same config variable

I use Cloista’s Delayed Force Level mod and Alex Nares Facility Recurve in a CI environment. Facilities build times are not touched directly here, right? So, at most I need to see how this and Delayed force level works while deleting the mission decks that will conflict with CI?

oh my god thank you so much. this brought to light exactly what one of my main issues with xcom 2's pacing is and fixed it in one fell swoop. i cannot BEGIN to imagine how much thisll improve the game for me

Does the force level increase delay also work with LWOTC? As Inunderstand it, LWOTC changes hiw that works behind the scenes, making it a (nigh-undetectable, virtually unstoppable) scheduled ADVENT mission.

"...if you're using a mod like Covert Infiltration or LWOTC, you need to delete these changes in the mod's XComGameData.ini," by commenting out all lines starting with 'MissionDecks'?

I didn't know how badly I needed this, thank you.

Oh, this has no WOTC tag btw?

Nice, nice, so wish I had this one during my latest campaign. Myself I was going to approach it by shortening research times.

Essentially, along with having more time to do POIs between missions popping up.

What an interesting idea. As I understand, the number of missions and the amount of incoming resources stays the same, you just get more time to do research and proving grounds projects?
