[LWOTC] A Better Start

Buffed starting resource levels, research speed, building speed, and much more to begin your new campaign in LWOTC.

Wait did I hear that right? "Decades" I expect Central to be a bit more sheepish in telling me how long I have been away. Sure the base is new but how did we seem to lose all of our scientists and engineers? How is it there are no supplies outside of a few MRE's? And who the hell lost the mystic knowledge that allowed the Skyranger to carry more than 4 grunts into battle?!

This mod is a tongue-in-cheek EZ-button for starting off as the recently awakened Commander. A cubic crap-ton of supplies, intel, and alloys along with tweaks to that reduce research and build times assuming the XCOM staff got actually BETTER at their work instead of worse.

*This mod works at all gamelevel difficulties.

Through the update of the core config files I have added large shipment of resources along with some calibration on scalars. The starting values have been curved to the difficulty setting giving you the most at rookie level and impossible level. The LITE version has reduced the bumps significantly so that the base management is still an essential part of the game.

• Starting supplies are 50 to 1200.
  
• Starting intel, elerium, alloys are 50 to 1000.
  
• Starting power is 0 to 20
  
• Starting comm capacity 0 to 12
  
• Building and clearing scalars have been reduced to 0.3 to 1.2
  
• Research scalars are reduced to 0.8 to 1.1
  
• Facility building costs reduced.
  
• Facility power consumption adjusted
  
• Black Market costs reduced and sell ammounts for special interest items increased.
  
• More...

If there are aspects of this mod that you hate or things you wished were just a bit more buffed, then open the file(s) below in a text editor and scan through settings. My mods are nothing more than configuration file overrides with no coding. A word of caution about editing the downloaded files in your workshop directory. If I ever update this mod your changes will get replaced with a fresh copy of my files. I recommend copying the modified file to another folder that you can swap back in after an update.
*This is assuming your running windows and steamapps are on your c:\ drive.



If you have been frustrated by not being able to find the actual LWOTC mod on Steam you are not alone. LWOTC devs are still building it and have not yet released it on Steam. If you want to try out my mods with the new BETA LWOTC you can follow these links to download and install the latest BETA release.

Note: If you use AML for loading your mods testing has shown that my mods and likely others will not load after the locally installed LWOTC. If you do not want to wait for the production Steam release of LWOTC you will need to copy my mods to the same local directory you installed LWOTC in (per instructions). Then in AML select the local versions of the mods and not the workshop versions.
