They're just cosmetic

Could someone explain to a noob please, what do those scars actually mean? Are they only cosmetic? Or they add some penalties to the character's stats? Thanks.

@sputnik Monroe can confirm I got a scar and i'm using Covert Infiltration. Highly recommended

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

does need update?

I think it might not work with certain mods, I've been playing Covert Infiltration Beta and have so far never seen a gravely wounded soldier receive a scar.

I have tried this mod and it seems to not happen too often.

@stylejoker00

I'd say pick one or the other. But hey, if you really want both, try it out.

@stylejoker00:
They both basically do the same thing.

Is this compatible with shaken scars are back?

I've had multiple people get gravely injured without getting scars. Is there just a chance to get a scar, or is it guaranteed? Also, if there's a chance, how big is it?

士兵们本该受伤的时候却受伤了。

具体地说，Firaxis改变了它，所以当一个单位受到严重伤害时，他们有机会得到一个伤疤，作为被动摇变成意志系统状态的替代品。

然而，他们并没有真正修复这个bug，而正是这个bug使得这些单位根本没有伤痕。
:/

只有当一个单位被检测到没有疤痕并且成功滚出时，新的面部疤痕才会出现:已经有疤痕的单位将被忽略。

这要归功于尼斯先生，他原来的伤疤又恢复了mod:我刚刚把它打了一架，所以它可以在x2dlcinfo样式的mod中工作。

@LasurDragon:
No. There're couple of similar mods for the base game. Search the Workshop for "scars"

Will it work in vanilla?

This a cool little addition to the game. It makes way more sense in comparison to shaken scars. One question though, would it be possible to maybe add an ini config setting where we could adjust the chance of receiving scars?

Is this compatible with Gravely Wounded Prosthetics?

@RealityMachina You may be right. I'll keep plugging at it. If I get through this IronMan campaign on Commander difficulty (they do tend to end in a loss fairly frequently) and still don't have a scarred female soldier, I'll be stunned.

@Lavrans I can add in an always happen setting, since double checking there's no gender check, you're probably just getting absurdly unlucky with the roll to get a scar (it's around a 1 in 4 chance on average when a soldier rolls.)

I can't seem to get scarred female soldiers. Battle after battle, it's only the male soldiers. What exemplifies unshakeable resolve and commitment to a cause better than a beautiful femme fatale who, with grizzled and scarred visage has sacrificed her physical beauty in the cause of freedom? For this reason I'm kind of saddened that I've never had a female soldier like that. I'd give up a lot of scarred male soldiers for just the first woman (since the release of WOTC anyway, when shaken attribute was essentially deactivated) in any of my playthroughs to get a generated scar after combat

As for Mr. Nice, I switched to this mod because Shaken Scars, even the dedicated WOTC version, wasn't working at all. Weeks on end, campaign after campaign and I never got a single scarred soldier. I really agree that the old shaken mechanism isn't reliable for ever generating scars.

I've tested this for 6 hours over the course of this week with wotc, it doesn't seem to work or i'm extremely lucky with my gravely wounded staff.

So what's the difference between yours and Mr.Nice's mod? He doesn't seem to happy about you using his work.

Does anyone know if wounds automatically generate scars or is it a percentage chance? and is that chance editable?

Also, is there a way to tell it which scars to use? I have Persistent Heals mod so I don't really get a lot of wounds so I'd like to make it certain there will be a scar if it should happen. I'd also like to mostly have the more graphic ones show up more.

What can I tweak (if anything) to make this happen?

Thanks for all your help everyone and big thanks to the author and Mr Nice for his version. Great mod idea. :-)

This is rather late, but if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Nice's mod makes it so soldiers have a chance of getting scars when they're Shaken (like the original XCOM 2).

This mod, on the other hand, fixes a bug so that the game does what Firaxis intended in WotC: Soldiers have a chance of getting scars when they're Gravely Wounded.

If you ask me, this method is more realistic, and thus this is the mod I'll be getting.

@Martigen: +1 to your question! I am also asking myself the same! They essentially do the same right? So which one should I subscribe? ;)

Same issue as SaintKnave, the game seems to (disproportionately relative to the number of scar options, it seems?) be giving my regular soldiers the skirmisher-only scars when they're gravely wounded.

I'm not clear on the difference between this and Mr Nice's mod. Do they do it differently? Is one more compatible (in terms of not overwriting files it doesn't have to) than the other?

Hello! A couple of my human soldiers seem to have acquired the characteristic Skirmisher scars thanks to this mod. I'm guessing that's not an intentional interaction... though they do end up looking kind of badass.

This is for WotC.

Working on WotC?

I actually did this to my own troops back in vanilla, love the automation! As for shaken that's more of a psychological scarring thing... so I think it makes more sense with gravely wounded!

I'll add that I've relased a WotC compatible version my "Shaken Scars are Back" mod here:
http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1124507705

@ Hyomoto Quoting mod description: "New facial scars will only occur if a unit is detected to have no scars: already scarred units will be ignored."

will the scars be fixed in or can I select scars back to none if I choose to from the soldier's customize menu?

I like the idea, and clearly Firaxis did too, ... at some level ... but it definitely could use more description than you gave it. Are these just face scars? Does it pick one at random? If they have a scar, will it give them a new one?

Will this replace any scars that we give soldiers as cosmetic items, or will it stack new scars on top of any existing scars?

Love you for this, thanks man!
