how do i upgrade a PCS? am i dumb? :D

I would like the option of getting facility leads when skulljacking.

Derp. If I would have read LW Perk Pack's notes, they add their own couple PCS items. Not compatible, I think I broke a playthrough for Testing.

Unofficial Mod Launcher coming up with Grimy's PCS Expansion and LW Perk Pack conflict: UIInventory_Implants. Gonna run it and see if it's false negative...

this and Grimy's loot Mod for LW2 doesn't seem to work.

@rkraiem100:
Grimy's original doesn't work with WoTC, so nope.

wotc support?

@Mantis UK:
Don't think so. Perk Pack adds a bunch of new PCSs (but not sure why it'd be changing the UI to select and add them), this mod allows for multiple PCSs (a while since I've used it though).

Am getting a confilct message with Long War Perk Pack is this a false flag?

Conflict found for 'UIInventory_Implants':
Long War Perk Pack
Grimy's Loot Mod - PCS Expansion

My game crashes every time I try to enter the PCS menu to equip them to soldiers and this is the only PCS mod I have installed....

pls update for LW2!!!

At the risk of repeating myself...."This mod is not full compatible with Long War Perk Pack and that also means it won't fully work with Long War 2. You can have both Perk Pack and PCS Expansion installed; I do. You will still get Grimy's PCS chips and the Psi items BUT you won't be able to take advantage of PCS upgrade slots. You will only have 1 available upgrade slot; the second one will either not be visible at all or be grayed out."

This mod is not fully LW2 compatible. You can still install this mod with LW2 but be advised that you may end up with 2 versions of certain items as LW2 already has everything that this mod contains. In other words this mod is a little bit redundant if you are using LW2.

I think there's even LW2 as a key word here

my tought exactly , same with the ruler pack, is it LW2 compatible ? Everyone should mark it somewhere at this point ...

is it compatible with Grimy's Loot Mod: Long War 2 OPEN BETA?

My game crashes when I enter PCS menu too. I'm not sure if its a conflict. I know very little about modding.

@Mister Hush
Same here.
Funny thing: If I unsubscribe to this mod - but do not unbind it - I get the modded UI with the second slot when opening the PCS screen of a soldier. The second one is of course locked, cause the mod isn't there anymore.
But with the mod installed, my game crashes.

My game client crashes every time I try to enter the PCS menu to equip them to soldiers. This, I believe, is the only PCS mod I have installed.

Anybody got a workaround to make this work with LW2?

This mod is not full compatible with Long War Perk Pack and that also means it won't fully work with Long War 2. You can have both Perk Pack and PCS Expansion installed; I do. You will still get Grimy's PCS chips and the Psi items BUT you won't be able to take advantage of PCS upgrade slots. You will only have 1 available upgrade slot; the second one will either not be visible at all or be grayed out.
If you want this mod for its items along with perk pack make sure you are not also subbed to Grimy's Cut Psi Content too, I forgot to unsub from it when I subbed to this mod and it messed up the PCSs (at least for me it did; they're redundant anyway). Also I've noticed if you end up unable to apply PCS chips at all you will need to clear out your xcom user config files in your docs folder and try to mess around with the load order between Perk Pack and PCS Expansion. Doing those things made the mods play nice a little bit.

Can anyone confirm if this is working with lw2 then??

Yarp, for me it was blocking corpses...except for the trooper...from dropping. Mysterious :P

It doesn't let me access to the PC menu, once I sub to mod, and click on PC menu, UI dissapears in avenger. and force me to reload the previous save.

Hey Grimy, I saw that you pushed a patch in the base Loot Mod for compatibility and balance with LW2. Thanks a lot for that!

Am I right to think that this PCS Expansion is still incompatible with LW2? I am guessing that LW2 fiddles around with PCSes a bit.

grimy how do you get 3 pcs slots ?

This needs an update! A must have mod!

updates?

Cant tget this one to work. Once installed it wont allow me to clikc on menu to add a PCS to any of my soldiers.

Now that there are other mods that add better items than the Neurowhip, could you add more options to the .ini to make the item more appealing? It does have a cool name and graphic after all.

@Alpacalypse
that's not a bug, that's how the game's pseudo random number generator works.
it locks in a seed so a certain sequence of actions always happens.
but sometimes when you reload a save, the seed gets scrambled on your next load.

I have removed this mod and and only Grimy's Loot Mod and dlc expansion one and i still dont get the LW pcs ingame. The conflict may be whit the other 2 loot mods aswell ? Anyway i still love these 3 loot mods and im currently using them in the campaign

Conflict found between UltimateWorkshop & Grimy's Loot Mod - PCS Expansion.

Can attest to a conflict between LW Perk pack and this mod. However I have yet to see any negative effects besides the PCS' not showing up (basically I get the ampbooster, but the changes to additional pcs' and skullmining are not there).

kills third row of perks from Long War, causes colors glitches, and generally slow down gameplay.

I'm consistently getting the "camera stuck below skyranger after mission" glitch whenever I try to use both together.

I've played with them together for awhile and nothing serious seams to be coming up

So, what does the conflict actually do? Is it game breaking? Or just a little thing?

msg from launcher:
"Conflict found for 'UIInventory_Implants':
Long War Perk Pack
Grimy's Loot Mod - PCS Expansion"

God damn LW!

Is there a list of the loot and effects of the PCS implants available here? it's not showing what they do correctly. Possibly could be an error with LW Perks.

Same

Yeah same with Bdbrown6900 it appears to conflict, I would appreciate it if you found some way to fix that.

I just subscribed to your mod and am having a conflict with the LW Perks mod with the 'UIInventory_Implants'

Oh boy, found a glitch. If you try to skulljack a standard ADVENT trooper, fail and reload a save, you will be guaranteed to miss any skulljack attempts thereafter regardless of what you do.

@GrimyBunyip
Could I make a request? I was wondering if you could make it so that you can just straight revove PCS's once you've unlocked the ability to replace them with the continent bonus. If you don't feel like it that's fine, but I just don't know enough about modding this game to do it myself; I think a lot of people would appreciate that sort of feature though.

@GrimyBunyip Thanks. I noticed it's still working on vanilla types. I was just worried it wasn't working on *anything*.

@paratoos
My mod only edits the vanilla skullmining dudes right now, but there should be an ini edit to handle advent priests as well. Maybe i can automate it? Not sure though.

I've been using your mod for a bit now, and I like it. I just ran into an issue where I skullmined an Advent Priest-type, and it gave me no PCS options, rather the intel/Facility lead ones. I was running Tigu's More Loot mod which can drop PCS's but never actually did since your mod prevents that. I turned Tigu's off, tried again, still no PCS skullmining options. Thoughts?

@Taurmin

Balance Tweaks
All Balance tweaks can, of course, be edited or removed in the INI
PCS's are no longer dropped as loot
Perception PCS bonuses roughly halved
Perception PCS no longer rarer than other PCS

They are instead rewards from skullmining

I have also noticed that after i installed this mod i never get any PCS as drops. I think ive seen them still show up in the black market but never as drops.
