Same.

I've subscribed to this but it won't show up in the mod launcher in the game.

this is good.i really do not think the government would send noobs to fight alien

+100 social credit for the picture

Well, in case anyone was curious, this does not appear to cause or have any issues if used with X-Division at this time

I doubt it, but would this happen to work with X-Division, if anyone knows?
Not sure if X-Division touches any of these numbers :P

Good mod. If Earth was under attack like this, even in 1979, there were the following SOF branches:
US Rangers
SAS
SPETSNAZ
SASR
Canadian Airborne Regiment (prior to JTF2)
Navy SEALS
Delta Force
GIGN
GSG9
Why are they hiring people who are just out of boot camp again?

how do you get this to work with the community edition?

I would definitely say 40 is more reasonable, it keeps me from hiring and firing the morons. 45 seems a bit cheaty.

I've used units with even one stat under 40 and every time I've noticed a detriment to the preformance of the team. although 45 might be a little high.

nice picture ;)

Thank you for this. I'm tired of getting elite special forces soldiers in my recruiting list, with terrible stats.

If you make any changes on an ongoing game, you have to get new soldier. As in new-new, the guys that already were available for hire are using old values. You can hire the bunch and fire them to make room for new blood. I'm not sure what's the max for game engine but I'd presume at least 99 should be ok.

I just edited it to have 55 for min (with notepad) and I want to know if that will not break the game/mod. I am assuming that it won't but would like a little outside assurance. For these changes (that i made to the mod) to take effect would I have to start a new game, or would it just apply to refreshed soliders? Also, I assume that I can edit the max to be higher without problems right? Overall, great mod.

Sadly doesnt work for me. Subscribed using steam, and the launcher gives this error, and wont list it in the mods section of the launcher. Manually adding it also produces an error
"Error
cant seek on file descriptor 44 (error 22: Invalid argument)
cant find central directory in zip"

either the mod doesnt download for me orr it doesnt work on mac

Oh, I'm aware. I've already edited the Accuracy and Bravery to levels I find more realistic.

I don't think having 65+ causes problems, I just didn't want to make a "you win" mod, just to remove the boot camp drop-outs. You can edit the text file with the settings to suit taste.

Can starting soldier stats exceed 65 or will that break the game?
Say, Steve Irwin or Bruce Lee are "recruits". I daresay they start with bravery at 80+, no?

Thank you for this mod :D I hire too many damn soldiers, this should deffinetly help :D

The general thinking is more that yes special forces guys have to train hard.

Feel sorry for those asians soldiers, esstentially you depicting them as the "poster boys of ineffective soldiers" which is funny, but I hope they dont see it

Guys, we can change the mod.
Open gameconfig.xml (I open with notepad++)
It can be found at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Xenonauts\assets\mods\BarleyTroops

my changes set min stats at 60 I never hier and use soldires with less, and I changed female soldire chance to 50%. dunno why it was at 35.

@ author, great mod

@PrinceOfJudah (Chris) Agreed. Plus, an alien invasion is no joke and you either have to be bat shit crazy OR really brave to face this kind of shit. Thanks for the mod, @Ohramies.

Are you going to make a wheat troops mod? maybe a rice troops mod too? I await with interest!

yeah, 4 billion people (in 1979) and these are the best the Earth can offer? Thanks for this mod!

@Bob of Mage- don't be ageist as well as sexist! Everyone knows that Special Forces units were full of women and geriatrics and female geriatrics in the 1970's and 1980's!
CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE.

For the lazy people, from the steam folder, it's here:
steamapps\common\Xenonauts\assets\mods\BarleyTroops
and you want the gameconfig.xml

If you check the mod folder, you'll find the barleytroops folder and there's just one textfile to edit with only a couple of lines.

where did you go to edit the stats

Just FYI, I'm told that recruits available get replaced at the end of the month.

@Bob of Mage Too true, same shit happening to me

I would recommend one change. Have bravery start from 55-65 instead of 45-65. i say this because originally Goldhawkinteractive set the starting minimum bravery to 55. Unfortunately bravery is the most difficult stat to raise and toward the end of the game it is the most important stat due to the fact that they REALLY molest you with psy attacks.

I'm not sure why but in my last game I had a 80+ year old women who was part of the US Navy SEALs. I am always amazed at what the nations of earth think are top level soldiers.

Excellent mate, that last batch of wankers were pure rubbish.

thank you
