Oh sorry am used too looking at the side its all plus some times I moss things thanks anyway.

@blasterscope Bottom of the desc "Works with Long War 2, WOTC and LWOTC"

is this mod for vanilla or wotc?

There are no "Light Armor" or "Heavy Armor" researches in Vanilla/WOTC Xcom 2, you gain access to building the variant armors as soon as you research "Plated Armor" and "Powered Armor", you just need the Proving Grounds building, so you must have some other mods messing with the research path.

I only added support for the original Long War 2 due to its popularity at the time and they messed with the research path, it seemed to work fine when i tested it on LWOTC as well, but it was never built for any other mods beyond it.

The reason the mod makes them upgradeable immediately when you unlock "Powered Armor" is due to me not seeing a point in limiting the crafts until after you already built one of them, it would defeat the purpose of the mod.

Did an armor test. After completing Power Armor research the proving ground projects for upgrading armors show up. Completing them before the Light and Heavy armor research auto-completes those research but does not give you a prototype suit. So you only have the one suit produced by the proving ground project and no free suit.

I'm not sure but this is not the first time I've seen an interaction like this. Getting certain tech auto-completes all prerequisite projects.

A possible fix is attaching the proving grounds projects to the associated armor research instead of Powered Armor. On the other hand, it's fine just the way it is and is a wonderful alternative to depending on clunky research.

No, I'm an avid user of console commands and I remember that getting any unresearched armor can cause the game to autocomplete the research. It is highly possible that because it was added midgame, the option to upgrade armors showed up because I already researched power armors instead of maybe showing up after the respective armor research. So not a game breking bug, just odd interactions. Actually exploitable yet balanced since I can skip the long ass research but the upgrading piece by piece will take time.

Doubt it's part of this mod causing that, i neither give any researches nor add any new ones, it just adds some new crafting projects that are tied to existing research projects, you may want to see if you have any mods that mess with adding new researches or affect unlocking of projects from having required items ?

Also, the mod hasn't been updated in nearly 8 years, a bug like that would probably have been discovered earlier.

Found a possible bug.

Added this mod mid game. Upgraded a suit and it somehow let me skip the research! Got the war suit and shadow suit and their researches showed up as complete and they can be manufactured. Could be a bug or just the chaotic mod list I have

@MadMonkee10
Use Alternate Mod Launcher, unlike 2K's effort it actually works.

neither this nor the standalone Elerium Core crafting is appearing in the mod list on the standard 2K launcher, the standalone suit upgrade one appears just fine though

hi, is there a chance to make 5 cores at once instead of one.
I know it would take some time and resource but could be a good investment

I'm not seeing it even after several saves and loads; I'll try the version without suits.

Nice, thanks for the report back, i'm glad it worked out, even if it took some fiddling.

Forgot to report,but seem like a save and reload on the avenger was enough,some weird hiccup,but hey it work,nice one btw.

It should just work out of the box (as long as you have the Elerium research), i would check if you are using any other mods that affect the proving grounds, or Research paths in some way.

The erelium core doesn't appear in my projects,I have it enabled in AML,and huh yeah nothing in game,I'm using Wotc.Do I need something first for it to appear or something?
Gonna try the standalone version without the suits who know.
I do have the elerium research btw,will see if smth else block it or smth

Thanks to y-knot for the fix and Vaderburg for reposting it. Now the mod is listed in the 2K launcher.

@Kemical4
You're probably using the 2K launcher, scroll down for a link to something that works.

Or Steam's having a hiccup.

I subscribed but it does not show up in the mods list? is this normal?

To clarify the instructions for fixing it enter the EleriumGrounds.XComMod and delete everything between 'Description =' and 'tags='. thank you to y-knot for the original fix.

I can confirm as well of Y-knot's fix for the issue of the mod not showing up in the mod list. Delete all the content in the description segment of the XCOMMOD fil.

It doesn't work when you load the mod and start in the middle of the mission. You need to load the mod when your in the avenger save game.

Should be, i haven't had any issues.

is this mod still safe to use?

doesn't show up ingame mod management, so cannot enable because it's not there

@caseyanders
What do you mean by "subfile"?

I can't find the subfile for the mods. Any ideas?

i can confirm that the description is causing issues with the 2k launchers mod manager as y-knot described it as following his description fixed it

For anyone checking if this works with LWOTC, it should work just fine, just ignore the yellow warning symbol since its made for vanilla.

@jail_2033
Just use a decent launcher: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

Looks like a mod that needs to be updated
I didn't see this mod in the mod loader
Can it be displayed by changing complicated settings?
But that's a high risk

Hello everyone, I have manually corrected a bug : the mod wasn't appearing in my list of mods.

In the workshop folder of the mod, in the XCOMMod fil where you usually put RequiresXPACK=true where needed, erase the content of "description=", and the mod should appear in the mod list.

I haven't manage to pinpoint the exact part of the description which cause the mod to be invisible in the mod menu sadly, maybe the description is too long ?

Hope that'll help.

Thanks for the mod !

@Lt. Duergh works for me with the alternate mod launcher

Can someone confirm if it's still working with latest v. of WOTC ?? (NOT LWOTC) cous i remember it worked fine when i played last (year ago or so) and now this mod same as core crafting don't works even when launched as single mod without ANY other mods.

I doubt it, i only made support for Long War 2

Does this work with LWOTC?

Thanks for the tips.

It works with WOTC, but somehow conflicts with "Interchangeable Upgrades/PCS By Default", no idea why.

What Dragon32 said, it works fine without having to change any ini files or configs, i launch it myself with the default launcher just fine, both in WOTC and Vanilla.

@John N; optwood
Just use a launcher that actually works
https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki/Installation

In the EleriumGrounds.XComMod file, add the line "RequiresXPACK=true" (without quotes) after the description. This will make it load in WOTC.

Find the DefaultModOptions file located in \Steam\Steamapps\common\XCOM2\Xcom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Config. Add the line ActiveMods = "EleriumGrounds" to the list.
Start the launcher and start the game without opening the mods section because if you do the launcher will overwrite the change.
And voila! Content enabled.

So I started a new playthru after a long time and noticed that the content of the mod did not appear when plated armor and gauss weapons were researched. The problem was that the new launcher does not load it. So I thought I would share a workaround if someone else has the same problem.

It works in base game WOTC, there is a Elerium tech which is unlocked after researching Plated Armor and Gauss Weapons.

Wanted to confirm if this is working in WOTC? I don't see the "Elerium" tech being researchable. Does it have any pre-reqs?

It unlocks after researching the "Elerium" tech

Can't craft any cores need help.

Glad to hear it, hope it comes in useful.

Mod works great with no issues with all the DLC. Thank you
