Description:
** This mod makes Dark Events permanent. They are removable only by covert action. **

The player can initiate a covert action in the Resistance Ring to remove a random active Dark Event. This requires a high level of influence with the faction and a faction soldier of rank Captain or above to initiate. There is a risk of injury, ambush, and capture. A cost of 35 intel is required to remove one of these risks.

Remove Dark Event mod is a bit buggy. See pinned discussion below.

Edit config values in the XComRemoveDarkEvent.ini file.

[RemoveDarkEvent.X2StrategyElement_DarkCovertActions]
MINIMUM_RANK=5
INTEL_COST=35
MULTIPLES_ALLOWED=true
REQUIRE_FACTION=true
ALWAYS_AVAILABLE=false
INFLUENCE_LEVEL=eFactionInfluence_Influential

NOTE: The minium rank in the config file must be an integer value between 1 and 7 (8 if using the Brigadier rank) (1 = Squaddie).

Edit the range of time to complete the covert action in the XComGameBoard.ini file. The left side of the equation is the difficulty level, the right side is the hours to complete. The value should be a multiple of 24.

[CovertAction_PrepareDark X2CovertActionTemplate]
MinActionHours[0]=168
MinActionHours[1]=168
MinActionHours[2]=168
MinActionHours[3]=288

MaxActionHours[0]=240
MaxActionHours[1]=240
MaxActionHours[2]=240
MaxActionHours[3]=360

FAQ:

What difficulty are the default settings for? I suggest reducing the default settings for Commander and Legend difficulties.

Where are the config files? Typically they are found in Steamsteamappsworkshopcontent2685001548905424Config

When will the Remove Dark Event covert actions start showing up? For Remove Dark Events to appear in the Resistance Ring, you must have the proper influence with the faction. After that, it is random whether or not they are available during a particular month. There is a config option to force Remove Dark Event covert actions to show up every month.

Does this work mid-campaign? Yes. This mod requires the Grim Horizon setting enabled. The mod automatically enables Grim Horizon if it wasn’t enabled at the start of the campaign. Removing this mod does not disable Grim Horizon for your current campaign.

Does this work with other mods that add new Dark Events? Yes. This mod selects from the "active" Dark Events list (see this mod’s profile picture), to which all permanent Dark Events are added.
