[OUTDATED] Proving Ground Overhaul
I have uploaded a complete rework of Proving Ground Overhaul here.
This version still works but it will not be supported anymore.
There are two main objectives for this mod:
- Eliminate the random nature of the Experimental Projects
- Make every Proving Ground item buildable in the Engineering Bay
To make this happen, I disabled all Experimental Projects from the Proving Ground and added a bunch of new projects to unlock each item in the Engineering Bay.
Disabling the Experimental Projects made the resistance cards "Munitions Experts", "Bomb Squad" and "Suit Up" obsolete so I also disabled them (for new campaigns only).
You will need Elerium Cores to research the new Proving Ground projects. Once completed, the new projects will make the items buildable in the Engineering Bay. The projects themselves don’t reward items, you will need to manually buy the unlocked items in the Bay.
I also added optional projects to upgrade tier 2 items (EXO Suit, Spider Suit, Flamethrower, Shredder Gun). These projects will be enabled by default but you have the option to disable them in the config file.
For a full list of features, read this.
Proving Ground projects’ parameters can be edited in the config file (duration, cost)
Items’ parameters can be edited in the config file (cost, resell value)
This mod does not touch item stats, abilities, skins, etc.
The configuration file should be in the following location:
This mod disables all vanilla Experimental Projects. Any mod that relies on those projects won’t work as intended.
It should be safe to add/remove mid campaign.
- Rework the localization of the new projects
- Add custom images for each new project (if I find an artist with the patience and will to do it :D)
If you like this concept, you should also check:
Also, if you play with my Corrosive Rounds mod, its features will be automatically integrated with this mod.
If you encounter any bug, post it here.
I’d like to thank dotvhs for the awesome thumbnail picture.
