I set the categories options to Off, because i am fine with how the game is setting the sitreps, but when multiple raider factions sitreps are active at same time, they all work as one. Do i need other mod to make multiple raider factions work independently, or i need to configure something else in the .ini file?

by saying they all work as one, do you mean they are all in the same team, ie not being hostile to each other? If so this is not relevant to this mod and my guess is that you need some other mod to make them fight against each other.

Hi if I only have
SitrepAmount = 3
SitrepChance = 100
GuerillaOp = "On"
SupplyRaid = "On"
Council = "On"
ResistanceOp = "On"
LandedUFO = "On"
Retaliation = "On"
AlienNetwork = "Off"

in the XCom_Sitrep_Categories file should this guarantee I get the 3 Sitreps for all "On" missions?

don't forget to assign a value for Categories, for example Categories = "Off"

Are there only ten categories/groups permitted or will the config still function if we add more?

I too have issues with multiple 3rd party groups coming in, and they are set to the same group so in theory when 1 is rolled the other 3rd party sit reps should not...

there are many reason that's out side scope of my mod that could cause it. one possibility that I can guess is that you may use the wrong name for the sitrep name in group or there is a typo. I knew some map setting can affect sitrep setting since it comes before sitrep generation.
I hope it helps you debugging.

Question: my desired behavior is to have 2 sitreps per mission, with one of them being a raider faction, and the other being anything else except another raider faction. Is the below config file accurate?
