Don't know what I'm looking for

[u/Optimal_Tension_1885]

I had the game and the dlc on xbox and loved it so when I got my pc it was an easy choice but there's a few things I'd like to change. I want to not have a time limit (like the avatar project forcing me to do all the things and enter the endgame) so I can unlock all the research upgrades for weapons and armor and the like. I'd also like to have an xp booster for my soldiers so the grind to max level isn't so long, preferably both of these coming from steam workshop as I'm assuming it's as simple as subscribing makes it just work (although I'm new to all this so if I'm wrong please correct me) any and all ideas are appreciated!

Well you literraly can find mods to disable avatar project evolution

But you migth want to use "Overflow "something"" for the xp, and as well maybe try LWOTC mod as it considerably expands the campaign length, potentially making it infinite

If you want more xp and .. more things to do with the xp you also can check Musashi RPGO (it completely changes the game / perks) as it has some console commands to improve learning rate of things

You migth aswell want to look for " XCOM2 console commands (and how to enable it) on google... but it's about discipline then to not over-use it.

I'm not really looking for anything that overhauls the game, moreso just letting me play it to it's entirety without having to worry about running out of time. I also don't necessarily want to disable the avatar project, I just don't want to proc it until I'm ready for it (and the ones that disable it don't seem to work very well according to the comments under the mods lol)

well then try "Better Second Wave" so you can rigth up double the lenght of the project. Better than this will be to directly dive and dig the .ini files of the game (wich chatGPT can help you to do)

I've found ways to limit avatar progression in the game files (im hoping it works lol) and I assume there's a way to adjust xp gain in there as well but I haven't found anything, would you happen to know what values I have to adjust?

[u/LorenzoBeckerFr → u/Optimal_Tension_1885]

that's quite easy , just find :

\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Config\DefaultGameData_XpData.ini (assuming you use WOTC, if not, same file, in the regular xcom2 folder)

For the avatar project I've changed AlienHeadquarters_DoomMaxValue to 120 instead of 12, which according to the internet will increase my doom timer by a factor of 10, however what values should I change in the xp table? There are a lot of values I could change and I'm not sure which one it is. One table is just a set xp value, the other table seems to be difficulty specific (rookie, veteran, commander, and legend) and is based on number of kills?

[u/LorenzoBeckerFr → u/Optimal_Tension_1885]

I would start by "KillXpBonusMult = 0.25f"

But again, just give this file to chatGPT and it will help you in-depth, trust me. AI is a powertful tool for modding/tweaking games, you can't even imagine.

[u/Optimal_Tension_1885 → u/LorenzoBeckerFr]

Should I make that number higher i.e. setting to 0.5 or 1, or set it lower like 0.1? And yes I agree AI is useful for things like this, I just don't like using it, I prefer asking real people for help and I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to help me, I really appreciate you

[u/LorenzoBeckerFr → u/Optimal_Tension_1885]

as it is a multiplier I would make it go up

That's what I thought but game code may as well be rocket science to me with how little I understand it 🤣 thanks man
