In regards to the elerium crystals end game source. I will keep trying to find another solution.
Check out ADVENT Avenger's "Get Back To Work" mod.

Thank you for the reply.

In regards to the elerium crystals end game source. I will keep trying to find another solution.

If i knew how to code i would make some extra looted junk like ammo or upgrades dissolvable via workshop

@AlShegardy92
'Elerium grounds' was my original mod that let you craft cores, as well as let you upgrade suits rather than building entirely new ones to save on cores, they were split soon after because some people didn't want to have both.

To the second one, at that point just cheat them in, there should be some bottleneck.

@AlShegardy92
Elerium Grounds does more, read its Description.

also,
so many modes use elerium CRYSTALS

and the game source is just raids and black market.

iam wondering if u can add a way to buy crystals or make them

i dont understand whats the difference between this mod and the elerium ground mod?

doesnt the elerium ground also let u make elerium cores?

@TheMinotaur137 thank you, I have a mod that adds a lot of new ammo types so I need a lot of Elerium Cores to get the exact ones I want and I would've been ticked off if I had to wait forever for this mod or the combined version to get updated to fix what was causing it to not appear

@TheMinotar137 Your my hero just tried your fix and it worked its showing up in my list. About to test now thank you.

for anyone else that wants to use this mod with the 2k launcher but isnt showing up for them, i found a way to make it show up and its extrememly simple. you just go into your files, mine is here, F:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\624830395, and open the EleriumCoreCrafting.XcomMod file and basically just get rid of all the extra crap under description. after doing that it should look like this

[mod]
publishedFileId=624830395
Title=Elerium Core Crafting
Description=A mod to try and alleviate the mid to late game Elerium Core shortage, it allows crafting of Elerium Cores in the Proving Grounds once Elerium has been researched, as well as allowing upgrading of Spider Suits and EXO suits to their Powered Armor equivilant once the required Tech has been researched.

@VS-lockon
Ok.

hello @ Janah ya this mod work fine in the community launcher. but some of mo other mod don't for one

Second most ppl that mod the game don't play Vanilla any more after all someone made the mod that just gives you all the achievements since add any mod take them a way

furthermore i have a job to but i still mod and play games and stream when i have the time so don't give me that excuse

and it is Coding skills not may know how code in C sharp and how add the right text in the right order and what not if it was not for me visual studio code and my knowledge of coding in C sharp thank to Stellaris i would never got this working with the real launcher. like i said community launcher. is trash it does not load 100 of my 234 mod and all them make the game 20 time harder bc the base game has never been a challenge for me only reason i try add this in that list bc i don't get Elerium Core other then the black market ever 100 days

Hi @VS-lockon,
The mod works fine in the community launcher.

Among the reason's i am not updating the mod for the issue is the fact that i don't do modding anymore, if you look at the last updated tag, the last update was in 2017, before WOTC was even released, I did modding as a side thing when i was playing XCOM 2 and i did not have a job, and i stopped when i no longer felt i had time for the side thing anymore.

Second, If i updated the mod it would no longer work with the vanilla game, and i would need to supply a separate mod for Vanilla and WOTC, as it stands it works fine for both of them.

If the mod actually did not work, then i would update it as you said, while i don't play it, i still have some professional pride, but as it stands it works fine, so do the change, or get a proper mod launcher, changing a ini file is not "Coding skills" that's knowing how to look through a file system and doing text editing in note pad, my mother could do that.

@VS-lockon
OK.

@Dragon32 community made one okay one does not support my 234 mod list for one it only ! support mostly nexus mods not mod only on steam do i have point out why https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation is trash to me one more thing making some one down load another launcher all bc some one to lazy up date there mod to the 2k one is lazy and rubbish one the community made one does not support a streamer mod list like mine

@VS-lockon
The problem's 2K and their rubbish launcher.

Get the community made one: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

im sorry being a bit rude but if i make a mod and update make a bug i fix that bug my self

Janah i wish i did not have to make this work by my coding skill and and i wish i did not have add a line saying you lazy in the mod file to make it work but hey it working now but still stop being lazy ya mod might still work but dose not work with the stream launcher meaning the ppl don't know how to code will never get it working and that mean it broken for them untill you get off you fat ass and fix it

bc it not working for me Janah stop being lazy and fix the dam mod you self some of us dont want buy the dam game some where esle other then steam

The mod works fine on WOTC

Yes, I'm using AML, but for some reason I can only run Run war of the Chosen

Look below in the comments, there is someone talking about that exact thing, apparently since i last updated the mod the default Launcher was changed and can no longer "See" the mod, so you will need to change some text in the EleriumCoreCrafting.XComMod file located somewhere in the folder structure.

Or use AML https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher which is just a significantly better launcher in general.

The mod doesn't appear in the 2K launcher, I'm trying to find another launcher, I saw in some comments that other launchers are working, but I haven't been successful so far

Subscribe to the mod, activate the mod in your launcher of choice, research Elerium and it will show up in your Proving Grounds.

Well, could someone make a video teaching how to "install and use", because I've done everything and I'm not succeeding

Elerium Grounds is my original release that contains both Elerium Core Crafting and Suit Upgrading in one, per user requests i split them into two individual ones since some people were not interested in suit upgrading, and vice versa.

No mods are dependant on each other, and using Elerium Grounds and the other mods will just mean that you get two core crafting options, or two choices to upgrade armours.

I am quite confident that there is a different mod conflict causing your issues, i have confirmed with console cheats, since yeah, it takes a while to get there in a normal game, that it unlocks once Elerium tech is unlocked, WOTC, LWOTC and Vanilla.

No, I was running a previously existing game. It takes quite some time to start a new game and get to the point of researching elerium.

Also, does this also require the Elerium Grounds mod to run or will it run on its own? I tried both without success.

Did you start a new game after removing the other mods ? Mods can break things in games even after they have been removed, if you had a previous mod that affects the proving ground projects or research tree they could still leave things broken after they were removed.

The mod is still not working for me. I found the EleriumCoreCrafting.XComMod file and made the changes to the text. The mod shows up in the launcher yet in the game there is still no option to craft elerium cores. Also, I had elerium researched in the laboratory so that's not the problem.

I was playing WOTC. I even tried disabling all other mods and only running this one mod and it still didn't work.

The reason why this mod won't show up in the 2k launcher is because the author never properly commented out the comments in the mod file. In the EleriumCoreCrafting.XComMod file (just use notepad to edit), replace the text with this:

[mod]
publishedFileId=624830395
Title=Elerium Core Crafting
Description= Any Text

@udtojan95
Launchers start the game, they have no effect when a game is running.

Is this mod working without installing another launcher?

thanks this launcher works!

Try a different launcher, the default one is quite terrible.

i suggest AML as that's the one i usually use.
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

i subscribed to it but wont show in the mods list.

Yes I know, it is not showing up at all in research or proving grounds. Not sure what happened as I used in in LW2 and LWOTC with over 4k hours between the two. I decided to remove and do a clean install so hopefully that fixes it.

If its not unlocking the Proving Grounds project then there might be a conflict with some other mod that modifies either tech paths or the Proving Grounds in some big way.

It's not a research topic itself, it unlocks a Proving Grounds project when you research the "Elerium" tech

Not sure what happened as it is not showing up in the research tree and I have been using this for a long time.

Nah, all you need to do is to research "Elerium" and it unlocks.

I cannot remember does this require 5 scientists, 5 engineers and 5 core to be able to research core crafting?

@Coeal is proud of you. Glad to hear its of use.

3 months into a game, never used a single explosive, still habe not seen a SINGLE core. thanks mate

For anyone wondering if this works with LWOTC, it should work just fine as is, just ignore the yellow triangle saying that its made for vanilla.

@Bit Cloud

Find the following file:
EleriumCoreCrafting.XComMod (it's somewhere in steamapps\workshop\content\)

and then replace its contents with this:

[mod]
publishedFileId=624830395
Title=EleriumCore
Description=Something
RequiresXPACK=true


If you are playing vanilla, remove RequiresXPACK=true

@Bit Cloud
Use a good launcher:
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

in the new launcher, do not longer appaer this mod, help please

@war-angel:
Read the last line of the Description.

WOTC version Janah please i need elerium core i have way yo many thing take up core

Can confirm this works fine with WotC. Great to pair with the Proving Grounds Overhaul mod, which, as per its description, is a huge elerium core sink.
