Description
F.N.G. is a new GTS Perk
This unlock, when purchased, improves training at your GTS.
You can now rank your soldiers directly to corporal rank or higher.

These GTS Perk are meant to be a safety net for campaigns where your squad gets wiped.
As a result, F.N.G. perks become available as your soldiers die, and not as your soldiers level up.

The unlocks are based on total killcount between all dead xcom operatives.
So a dead colonel will contribute more to unlocking F.N.G. perks than a dead captain.
You can't cheese this system by sacrificing a bunch of worthless rookies.

Why is the perk called FNG?
Firaxis implemented, and then disabled a GTS perk called "F.N.G."
Presumably short for F***ing New Guy.
This perk would have turned all your rookies into squaddies automatically.
They probably disabled this perk because it didn't interact well with the new GTS mechanic they added.
So I made a GTS perk that did something similar, but did interact with GTS rookie promotions, and kept the name + art assets from Firaxis's F.N.G. Perk.

INI Options
I know not all of you will be keen on the idea of needing to lose soldiers to get these unlocks.
So you can change the FNG perks to unlock based on soldier rank instead of soldier death.

Compatibility
No mod class overrides

Mod 2008564489's XComRestoredGTSPerk.ini allows re-adding FNG via bTURN_LIVEFIRETRAINING = true although whoever reads this might want to reduce iLIVEFIRETRAINING_REQ_RANK from 5 to 4 or 3.

should've read the comments, DOES NOT WORK WITH WOTC. I spent 20 minutes removing GTS mods when this was the only issue.

For anyone that never got a response. IT Does NOT work with WoTC because it already has a function similar in the Expansion.

For anyone having trouble with isASoldier() in the crash log, if you have this active, this is why it's crashing!

Any way to get this working on WOTC?

Love the mod, essential for XCOM 2 (vanilla). Just got one question. I did change the cost of each level of F.N.G unlocks, and i've made good progress in an ironman game. But now i realized i need to adjust the cost for better balance. Can i make changes to the cost through the .ini file mid-game without messing up my save?

One of the faction cards in WotC upgrades the gts training, so that rookies become a higher rank when you train them as a specific class.
