Correct, under the current implementation this is accurate

So no sitrep in a category = disabled from the game ?

Yep, fortunately or unfortunately.

As a refresher, the correct formating would be the following ? >

Sitrep Category 5
The Lost
+Cat5 = "TheLost"
+Cat5 = "TheHorde"

can the sitreps repeat in different categories?

@Ziggy
yes, you can safely comment out (semi-colon ; ) the first two parts as follows:

;Sitrep Category 5
;The Lost
+Cat5 = "TheLost"
+Cat5 = "TheHorde"

@Komandor
Actually, yeah you should be able to put a sitrep in multiple categories. Example:
------
+Cat1 = "Savage"
+Cat1 = "Show of Force"
;
+Cat2 = "Savage"
------
First roll: Show of Force.. check Cat1.. It's in Cat1.. Add Cat1.. Close Cat1.
Sec roll: Savage.. check Cat1.. It's in Cat1.. Cat1 is closed.. Check Cat2.. It's in Cat2.. Add Cat2.. Close Cat2.

Should be good.

Ok, also will you be augmenting the max number of categories in future updates ?

There is potential for further expansion, but want to continue testing first

If I'm reading one of the latest updates correctly, uncategorized sitreps won't be disabled from the game but still rolled for spawning in a mission ?

No, they will not be included. It was a fix so that that did not take away a slot despite their non-inclusion

;Sitrep Category 1
;USER: Additonal Enemies
+Cat1 = "GOCIncursion"
+Cat1 = "GOCDeathSquad"
+Cat1 = "TheHorde"
+Cat1 = "TheLost"

;Sitrep Category 2
;USER: Allies
+Cat2 = "FoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "SneFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "MAhFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "FieFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "HmdFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "PecFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "AsmFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "MolFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "SamFoundationIncursion"
+Cat2 = "ResistanceCell"

;Sitrep Category 3
;USER: Enviromental
+Cat3 = "HighExplosives"
+Cat3 = "LootChests"
+Cat3 = "ChemicalLeak"
+Cat3 = "ResistanceContacts"

;Sitrep Category 4
;USER: Advent
+Cat4 = "Savage"
+Cat4 = "AutomatedDefenses"
+Cat4 = "PsionicStorm"
+Cat4 = "Ambush"
+Cat4 = "BioTroopDeployment"
+Cat4 = "BioPurge"
+Cat4 = "DaddysLittlePrincess"
+Cat4 = "LikeFatherLikeSon"
+Cat4 = "TwinTrouble"
+Cat4 = "Advanced"
+Cat4 = "Waves"
+Cat4 = "ShowOfForce"
+Cat4 = "LEBLGSR"

;Sitrep Category 5
;USER: Xcom
+Cat5 = "BlackOps"
+Cat5 = "ShadowSquad"
+Cat5 = "LocationScout"
+Cat5 = "Surgical"
+Cat5 = "Fireteam"


Just double checking, nothing wrong with my list correct?

Looks good to me. You have this somewhere in that same file right?

Categories = "On"

Yes it's on and at 80% with 5 maximum sitreps

I changed the foundation to be on my team on my legendary run with all the hard/elites monster mods enabled like custodians and such, we are hardly making it by :p.
