Just the psioffense vs will roles. Your best bet is to give them the pcs with the best psioffense possible instead of best passive perk, and try to get their combat intelligence as high as possible before grading them. Also upgrade psiamps ASAP and use the utility stuff from cut content psionics mod to boost it further.

My soldiers seem to be extremely inaccurate with their powers. They barely hit any offensive abilities at 60, 70, and even 80 percent success change. Is there anything that might be affecting this?

somewhere in the XComPsionicsExMachina.ini ... its pretty well commented, I'm just not at my PC to tell you the exact location

So playing on legend difficulty the psionic grading takes 6 days to complete. Just wondering where in the config file I could change this to a slightly less time and what I would need to change

You could also get a mod that change a bit how the psionic work,probably one making it more like the other classes,a promotion one rather than tied to the facility itself.

There's no need for that class with this mod.

But yes there is a way if you really want/need it. Go into the config files and change the option to TrashTheOldLab to false.. and then comment out the section that removed the class in the classdata ... you'll need to build *both* labs to utilise the old class ..... ....

is there still a way to get the Psionic class and/or how do you get that class?

They count up, 1 is low/worst, 5 is high/better

Psionic Grades are 5>4>3>2>1?
Or 5<4<3<2<1?

this mod is really cool, you basically added a materia system to the game lol

You'd need to ask on the lwotc modpage for that.

Please indicate in which file and where exactly 'the number of slots the Amps' is located. Thank you

You're issue is using LWotC, which overrides the number of slots the Amps have in its config files. To fix this you'll need to set those values to something other than 0

我使用了LWOTC模组。基础灵能增幅器拥有两个升级插槽，但是高级灵能增幅器没有升级插槽，显示已经升级完毕，从而无法添加技能宝石。我首先在研究室研究完成了高级灵能计划，然后在灵能实验室研究了高级灵能计划。怎么解决这个问题？I used the LWOTC module. The basic psychic amplifier has two upgrade slots, but the advanced psychic amplifier does not have an upgrade slot, indicating that the upgrade has been completed and therefore cannot add skill gems. I first completed the Advanced Psychic Program in the research laboratory, and then studied the Advanced Psychic Program in the Psychic Laboratory. How to solve this problem?

Yep, it's in XComPsionicsExMachina_Abilities.ini, under the header "[PsionicsExMachina.X2EventListener_PexMWillEvents]". The option is "ClassesToSkipPsionicWillDrain", so for example, it has:
+ClassesToSkipPsionicWillDrain=Templar

It looks like the base Vindicator class uses will for psionic activities. Is there a way to exclude this class via config?

Yeah I did that, turns out I still needed elerium researched

Should be an unlock project in the lab

Sorry maybe im dumb but what do i need for magnetic tier psi amps? I researched advanced psionics and its not showing up. ive done the priest and sectoid autopsies. Does it come with advanced mag weapons?

Discussion thread, second screenshot, mod description... ... ... ... ... exasperated sigh

Only my guy's rifle shows up if I click "upgrade weapon".

Hi, I'm running this alongside an RPGO campaign and I can't upgrade the psi amps at all. Help, please?

Yep,I use both just fine

Is this compatible with Iridar's FOXCOM mod?

You need to access them via squad select, or via the upgrade screen if you use mod everything reloaded

I have all the mods as well as the dependencies but I don't know how to access the slots on the psi amp. I already unchecked the option on robojumps squad select.

@jbestmitchell as Rusty said, the gift and psi skill trees aren't from this mod. Both psi overhaul v3 and Foxcom psionics use the mechanics you describe so it would be one of those. PexM has all psi abilities drop as upgrades you slot into a psiamp (GEMS) or as PCS.

"the gift" is not from this mod, but something normally from PsiOverhaulv3 ?I think?.. which iirc requires you to put the soldier back into the lab slot (staff slot 6 of this mod, when using both ?) to train the next PsiRank ...

sorry if my answer is a bit vague, it's been a very long time since I used both mods together

How are the psion abilities earned? I see the ability tree with ones ranked with "the Gift" but the psion abilities never upgrade with experience

Found what was causing the error after Psi-Grading - I uninstalled the other mod, but was still getting the error icon and message. Her combat intelligence was set to 5 and that was triggering an error. It works fine when combat int is set below 5.

Hello. I seem to be getting an error and possibly a conflict. I see this mod "gets rid of" the need for the psi lab, etc - but I am running modjam, and it seems to have the psi lab. I slapped a soldier in, and when finished, I got an unknown error, the missing icon image for the soldier. Is this incompatible with Iridans Psi Overhaul? I'm just guessing, here - I grabbed a few things that mod jam mentioned, and etc.

Lwotc doesn't allow that unfortunately

Hey @RustyDios, how can i put psi amps to pistol slot in LWOTC? What mods or config changes should i get. Im using "No more psi amps" with this.

@RustyDios thanks man. Worked like a charm

with the soldier selected in the armoury use the following console command;

RustyFix_Toolbox_PexM_AdjustPsiGradingForThisSoldier true

this will force/refresh the soldiers grading

Hey @RustyDios, first off thanks for the mod its good fun. I have a small problem in that I changed the ComInt of one of the squad to a level out of bounds before then putting said follower through PSI grading (this gave me an error that I should not have seen). I subsequently reset the comint to a normal level but this has not fixed the grading and the character does not appear on the available grading list. Is there a way to reset this somehow?

huh, I guess RPGO is a beast of it's own making.
otherwise Grading should unlock those weapons and amps.

The two weapons are from Aslyenne's Advent Warlock and TeamCX Armoured (Psi) Vipers btw. Both are strong alternative main hand weapons.

hey @RustyDios, I dont think so, i mentioned my issue few messages under - I'm using RPGO weapon restrictions and it seems to me like they don't work with ex machine at all. Neither psi amps nor those weapons are available to graded soldiers, unless I specifically add it to that rpgo ini file responsible for per-class weapon restrictions.

You can get the soldiers to use these weapons by Psi Grading them btw :)

To answer my own question: First of all those psi weapons seem to be from another mod (advent warlock?) - but scavenging this mod's inis did help to find relevant ids: psionicReaper, psigatlingrifle
Reaper is the main rifle, gatling - not sure - haven't researched that yet.

I'm tryin to add psi rifles to different soldier classes as I described below, but I don't know what the weapon type id, any help?

@tntcraze that's an au vipers issue not a pexm one (we don't control animations anyway that's on the perks themselves so depends on what perk packs you're using )

POV: you use AU vipers with this mod and it completely breaks their animations. Someone gotta make a mod fixing those animations.

Solved it: to add psiamps to specific RPGO classes - find "C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\1280477867\Config\XComRPG.ini" and for every class (or the ones you are interested in) alter SpecializationMetaInfo to include psiamp.

Example:
SpecializationMetaInfo = (bUseForRandomClasses=true, AllowedWeaponCategories=(sword, combatknife, psiamp), InventorySlots=(eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon), bMelee=true, iWeightPrimary=1)

Note: some classes only specify a weapon for a primary slot in this meta info, if you want to also add psiamp to those - add a "eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon" into InventorySlots as shown above.

@Zelfana, that's a shame, do you know if its possible to disable SWO mid campaign? If not - can you give me a clue on how to add psiamps to specific specs?

It will disallow psiamps unless you have a secondary (psionic) spec allowing it. SpecializationMetaInfo for each spec specifies what that spec is allowed to equip if that SWO is enabled.

The short answer is just don't use that SWO. The long answer is that if you still want to use that option you would have to add psiamps to every single secondary spec.

It's been many many years since I did an RPGO-run and I've honestly forgotten what that setting *does*.

Basic Psi Amps normally become available after the main Psionics research.

i mean the weapon restrictions second wave RPGO option

Hi, i just realised after playing like a 30 hours of a huge modlist with RPGO and Psionics Ex Machina - that I should've had basic psi amps available all along... Im using weapon restrictions for RPGO and it seems that makes it so that none of the soldiers can equip the psi amps. Any way to fix that? Thanks!

Will costs already do not affect Templars or Psi-Ops.

There is a list of exempt classes in the configs (and also in the archives pages for Psionics Will-as-mana ... and in the menu screen pop-up when you first install the mod ... )
