Is there any way to reduce Avatar growth - really dont mind cheating

[Darkcm]

I want to relax and not worry about Avatar mission...

You can double avatar time in standard options. Also there os a mod to disable avatar progress completely.

i tried some of the mods and they dont seem to stop it?!

Kinda kills a central part of the game, no? You can double the timer in the start options. If you need any more than that, well, I don't know what to tell you.

As mentioned, you can go into the ini at any time and increase the length of the timer.

there are three places you can change.

you can go into the rate of growth, which is tied to the number of facilities. each number of facilities by default if there are more facilities it grows faster. you could change that rate to be very slow.

the other thing you can change is the number of bars available.

and finally you can change the number of bars removed by doing quest objectives.

You can exploit sitrep in wotc but you won't be able to stop avatar project forever without wotc. The game won't spawn missions eventually for a long time which mean you can't collect intel to blacksites from officers.

without WotC I've delayed the avatar for more than 2 years.

with WotC you can delay it forever. not sure what you are referring to with running out of missions,

If you enable the console then you can use a console command that redueces avatar progress, search for a command with "doom" in it - I only remember that much.

I'd recommend this as it's better than disabling it completely and less of a hassle than going into the .ini files.

The resistance ring have several missions that can reduce it by 1 or 2 dots each time. You can also decipher alien intel for lead on factories. And I'm sure that each time aliens put a point into avatar project a new facility pops out somewhere in the map.

So I find it virtually impossible for avatar project to be completed, unless you deliberately wants to.

thanks guys - seems the project isnt too tough to deal with if you stay on top of it.
