Try clearing your user config. files. Or you didn't edit things right.

Hi, how can I change configs to make sure the drones don't spawn at all ? I tried putting min and max force level stuff in the encounter lists to 99 but it doesn't seems to be enough, thanks :)

Fun but could be problematic with ABA's Anti-Riot MEC... unless somethin' like a companion mod to rename them as Marshal MECs or something as they are a fun fight in pairs.

cant seem to hack them since the options are just blanked with it at 100%

@Dragon32
ok thank you

@chainmoon
If you set an enemy's Min and MaxForceLevel to 99 then they won't appear, unless you're running a mod that let's FL get that high

I want to make only Sectopod Annihilator appear. Is this possible by modifying the ini?

@Bawkdragon
Edit a mod's XComEncounterLists.ini, change MinForceLevel and (if you want) MaxForceLevel. I tend to just set the SpawnWeight value to 80% of what a mod's author does.

How easy is it to tweak Fl for this mod. I notice a lot of enemy add mods can use a fl increase if you not really powerful..

bro Riot Control Mec shouldn't be available at FL1, I struggled so much when I had to fought 3 of them in a single mission whilst my entire squad is just squaddie

@blakevanwyk99
How? It's always worked well for me.
https://old.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/mod_troubleshooting

it is not working

Found this just when plated/mag was giving me a power spike that made missions a little too easy. SCORE!

what are the ids for the wreaks, playing long war and i didn't get the wreck from the mission

I like the mod more in theory than in practice. It seems to suffer from some serious balance issues.

bro wtf are yall smoking creating these broken ass mods lmao, how am i ment to kill this fucking thing even with magnetic weapons

it looks like this mod can spawn a reinforcement consisting of 3 Sectopod Hunters, Fun

also does this work with Covert infiltration overhaul modpack?

Similar name, different units. This mod does not have any robotic unit in common with ABA.

Wait does all of them appear in A Better Advent?
I know the riot mec does

@PorkChopsFam
Yep, XComEncounterLists.ini

Taking a look now, so to stop sectopod hunters from spawning, everywhere where i see a "SectopodMini" i should set the min and max force levels to 99, correct?

@PorkChopsFam
See my previous posts. If you set both MinForceLevel and MaxForceLevel to 99 a unit won't spawn. Unless there's a mod that make Force Level go up that far and you play for, like, six in game years

Hey man, I would love to play with your mod but i had one mission which really felt unfair against me, the sectopod hunters are a little too strong when im playing with yellow alert i think, as they can attack with whiplash and then a normal attack on the turn they reveal themselves so i had to turn this mod off. Is there a way for me to only add the riot control mech, advanced repair bit and the sectopod annihilator without the hunter from the mod's code, similar with how you can disable some of the missions?

@Spamton NEO - with Mod jam it works, but be weary its not officially integrated into the mod jam experience so i've found that in the mid game every mission has like 2-3 Sectopod Hunters (which makes artificially boosts the difficulty of completing missions) -- make sure you invest quite abit into bluescreen rounds and anything that kills robotic units quickly or else you'll have a bad time.

Anyone knows if this works with LWOTC?

I love it when the reinforcements get to attack on the same turn they arrive.

Is it normal for Gatecrasher to sometimes not have the extra bits? I don't know if this mod is conflicting with Golden Path Missions Revamp or not.

@dragon32 thanks!

@Hot Wet Nobel Laureates
Yes it does, and all other enemy-adding mods I've tried do as well.

Sorry if this has already been answered, but does this mod work with Diverse Aliens By Force Level WOTC?

@Nitsah
See my previous posts. If you set both MinForceLevel and MaxForceLevel to 99 a unit won't spawn. Unless there's a mod that make Force Level go up that far and you play for, like, six in game years

Can I disable units? I'm sick and tired of fighting more than one of hunter in every map with like so many enemy mods.

@Lyra Hamstrings
Each Steam game has a Workshop folder named after its game ID and each mod has a folder named after its mod ID. The ID is in the mod's Workshop page URL

<Steam>\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\1779437601

Cool, thank you! Where would I find the ini file though?

@Lyra Hamstrings
Edit this mod's XComEncounterLists.ini and change MinForceLevel and MaxForceLevel; also MaxCharactersPerGroup sets maximum number that can appear in a pod.

Force Level goes up to 20 so setting minimum and maximum to that will ensure they only spawn in the late game.

Is there a way to change the massive sectopods so they only appear way in the late game? I've had like 3 spawn in missions where I still only have magnetic weapons and it's complete bullshit.

@ironboy32
No, they just drop Alloys I think. That's one of the problems with using mods that add enemies.

@ObelixDk I dont think the Riot mecs are dropping ADVENT MEC wrecks. I can't do advent MEC breakdowns because i have no MEC corpses.

I'm not 100% about this, but I am suspicious of the Hunter's vision - it seems like it spotted me on the second floor... but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have been able to, because it's shorter than the other sectopods. You guys did remember to change the origin of its sightline so it doesn't spot things on the upper levels as if it was a regular, tall sectopod? I know it's probably just xcom being xcom, or me not understanding modding, but it's the kind of thing one might forget and not notice.

@ObelixDk Do we need to do anything to make this play nice with A Better Advent? I heard some enemy mods need to make Ini changes to have them spawn

NO. DO NOT compliment the flying sectopod! That will only end up with us having a tunnelling sectopod, or something equally horrible.
Speaking of which... tunnelling sectopod anyone?

Thank you :)

The flying Sectopod is the scariest abomination I have ever seen in my entire life.

This mod is the source of my new nightmares; it caused one of the hardest missions i've ever dealt with.

A combination of A sectopod hunter, sectopod, and a sectopod annihilator where it'll summon ANOTHER hunter on a mission where i'm restricted to three people and forced to defend a relay... it was nearly bloody impossible; thank god for EMP grenades shuting them down... for one turn.

Can we take possession of these new adversaries through hacking like regualr ADVENT MECs?

Has anyone tested this with the Covert Infiltration mod?

Robots from this mod are cool!

But I don't need pods limited to 1 or 2 units.
Please tell me how best to disable all such changes and all Sitreps added by the mod?
I'm creating an assembly with enemies from different mods - manually editing XComEncounterLists.ini. So I only need robots with no other gameplay changes.

Should the Bit detect the Reaper in the shadow or not? In my game, the Bit scans the Reaper, but the detection does not occur.

I missed seeing the Sectopod Annihiliator when downloading this. Watching the thing drop after chasing away the behemoth boss almost made me faint. 10/10 best experience
