Description:
Overview

Makes all rooms count as being adjacent with all other rooms. This lets you staff Workshop GREMLINs in any room’s engineer staff slots.

Configuration
<Steam>steamappsworkshopcontent2685003129029279ConfigXComGameData.ini

You can change the adjacency config if you don’t want completely full freedom. Example config included for cardinal+diagonal adjacency.

Run this console command to update the adjacencies if they didn’t update automatically when you installed the mod the first time or you are changing config after mod has already been active in your game:

Zelf_UpdateRoomAdjacencies

Compatibility

Can be added any time. Adjacency information should be updated automatically for existing campaigns. You may need to run the console command if it didn’t. Like, if you added the mod while on mission you’ll need to run it when you get back on the Avenger.

Removal from a saved game where this mod has been active will require extra work if you want to get rid of the extended adjacencies:

1. Remove the mod’s config in XComGameData.ini
2. Start up the game and load your save
3. Run the console command mentioned above
4. Save the game and quit
5. Disable the mod
6. (Use Remove Missing Mods to remove the warning about the mod missing)

Works with GREMLINs from Combined Workshop and Laboratory as it is actually just using the vanilla Workshop staff slot for its engineer slots.

Known issues
  • Core Room Slots engineer slots in Research can’t be staffed with GREMLINs due to the UI not using the normal drop down list for that and therefore only showing actual engineers. Will work together otherwise.

Notes

The room adjacency mechanic isn’t used by the game for anything else but mods could potentially do something with it and if you have such a mod you should probably not use this mod.

Workshops and equivalent facilities providing GREMLINs when staffed can’t be staffed by GREMLINs. This is intended by the game.

Improvement suggestions welcome as always.
