It is Op

causes game to crash now

do the diminishing returns depend on the amount of points already gained or the soldiers total points? Im asking bc I think there should be a ceiling on how far certain classes can push their hack skill so that specialists remain the best

5 is def OP but no need for something complicated like diminishing returns, 1 on fail, 2 on easy, 3 on hard hack is good enough and balanced

WOTC Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125703954

@Adam Jensen 007 so use the WOTC version lol

does not look compatabile with WOTC

i wished this worked with RPGO.. my hacking skill started flying up with this & RPGO.

Worked well throughout LW2 campaign.

Very well done

Are you on Nexus ?

Great mod. I have been using this for a long time without any problems.

Question though. About "Diminishing Returns". Can you explain "Reward gain is reduced by 1 for every 20 levels above a certain value"? What do you mean every 20 "levels"? Does that mean the Soldier's Hack score?

Crashes Wotc on startup to bad, I like this one

This seems to not only crash WOTC on startup, but actually corrupt it so you have to verify the files and redownload them. Nice.

Is this compatible with LW2?

@ImJustJoshin: Oh shit, I see, that's what was causing it!
I was wondering why my codebreaker went from 50 to 130hack in a couple missions, so that explains it
Well, shit, not sure what to do now, guess I'll have to play with the console for a bit

@Mangelan ► the mod's files are located in
[the path to your Steam install]\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\639884488
where 268500 is the XCom2 number game for Steam and 639884488 is the number of the mod.
The path to your Steam install is, if you didn't change the default option during installation of the Steam client : C:\Program Files (x86)
The .ini you're looking for is XComHackPlus.ini in the config folder of the mod.

Can sombody tell me how to config that mod? I have no experience with .ini and cant find the folder to config the xp gain

@AndrewZ ► just hit the green button "subscribe" near the name of the mod and above the mod description. Then wait for it to download automatically from Steam. Launch the game and enable/disable the mods you want to be active in your campaign (or preferably in your *new* campaign

This looks really usefull since i hate how hacking is almost imposible to improve or grind. now... How do i install mods? never installed them before...

Hmm... maybe this is of public utility.
Always check if the +X hack bonus is being showed after hacking. It took me long enough to figure the mod wasn't working (Not only the +X bonus wasn't showing, but also no actual bonus was being given) and I only managed to make it work again after reinstalling it.

Do not know what caused it, cause by the time I noticed it, it could be a number of things (Mods, crashes, etc.)
Anyway, very good mod dev!

For anyone using Grimy Loot Mod (LW2 Beta version) know this:
If you have a soldier/spark equipped with any upgrade that comes with Grimy that boosts the hacking stat and you do a hack with Hack plus enabled whatever boost they got from the upgrade will be applied permanently.

For example:
The 'Superior Trojan Protocol' adds 15 to the hacking stat.
Failing/Succeeding in a hack will then add +1 from Hack plus but also +15 because of the upgrade this will lead to crazy high hacking stats if you have the Spark Upgrade which can add plus 50 - 90 at a time.

THANK YOU. I couldnt get the shit downloaded thanks to my shitty ass internet! Youre the man in charge now than kyou

I've updated Hack Plus for WotC: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1125703954

a good mod but need a update

Mod Causes crash before loading screen enabled

Holy Crap Update Please! I thoguht the game was broken cause my guys stats weren't going up! I was looking htru the ini files before i realized it was this mod i was missing!

Could you make it work with the mod config menu mod?

Nice Mod. I feel it should have been in the game already. Needs update for wotc though.....

This mod makes my XCOM crash when i run it with DLC Chosen.
Any chance that will be fixed ?

Ill try it still hasnt downloaded :(

@frizzeldian12 ! Thanks! This is one of my favorite mods, as it drastically changes how I play, and makes for some more interesting tactical decisions.

One request as you go through it: the LW2 ability "Full Override" was not compatible with this mod. If you were to somehow include it, you'd make a lot of people very happy. :D

roger that. I gotta download the kits and stuff and my internet is really slow so it might be a couple days before I can actually get it up and running... I just dont think the author wants anything to do with this mod anymore so hopefully he lets me have his work and continue for him

@frizzeldian12:
Great stuff. Not sure if you've checking the Discussion on this but quite a few of us have been using toned down numbers, could be worth checking back a few pages for some ideas.

I dont think he will be redoing this mod so I will see if I can do it myself and upload it for you guys once its bug free

Yeah, most mods does not work with WotC. FYI. It's almost entirely rewritten apart from the original game, so any mod you've previously been using will most likely crash the game. Sadly =/ but give it a week or two and most popular mods should be up to speed ^_^

This mod seems to be crashing War of the Chosen on startup. Just thought you would like to know. If you could fix this issue I'd be super greatful. Many thanks for your hard work! :)

Such a great mod I hate not having the farm

Is this going to be optimized for WotC?

Currently, this mod causes a crash whenever I hack something with the WotC expansion.

Can confirm this mod currently causes WotC to crash at start-up

Anyone knows if this will work with WoC?

what about something similar for psi operatives?

Not sure if this is a bug or intended, but the diminishing returns appears to be based on the modified hack stat, rather than base.
IE, if diminishing returns is set to 80, and the difficult hack reward is 2 points
A soldier with base 105 hack I would think would receive +1 hack on success
If said soldier has a skullmining skulljack equipped (+25 hack), the soldier would have a modified hack stat of 130, and get +0 hack on success.
This mostly introduces an oddity where it is beneficial to NOT equip good gear until you base stat is as high as it can get

i wonder...with AP investment mod...would it be possible to toggle the "free action" option in this mod's ini file? i wonder how well that would work. hmmm

I like Cheeen's suggestion.
"i found a good settings for this mod to be 1 hack on fail, 2 hack on easy and 0 hack on hard.
this way you have to make a choice between farming the hack or having robot controlled and once you have your 200 hack monster stat stops inflating. "

Dragon's is pretty good too.
"Setting up a new campaign and I like your thinking. So based on what you've put, the values I have are:
+HackPointRewardOnFail=5
+HackPointRewardEasyOnSuccess=0
+HackPointRewardOnSuccess=1
Do you have +DiminishingReturns=true? I've enabled that too (default of 80 for it kicking in) "

my intention in resubbing is to give boosts to non-specialists. to that end here's my settings:
+RandomizeReward=true
+EasyOnFail=0 ; currently ignored
+OnFail=10
+EasyOnSuccess=5
+OnSuccess=0
+Diminishing=true
+DiminishingReturnsStartsAbove=40
I'm experimenting with the randomize toggle, plus i savescum like a champion so me actually NOT reloading on a failed hack is nigh impossible.

Great mod! Any way to tier rewards based on level of Gremlin?
