Mod Pack + Rebalance + Tweaks (Update 19.04)

This assembly includes most of the mods from Nexus. Those that I haven't added can be included by anyone at their discretion and customized as they wish.

WARNING. This assembly SERIOUSLY modifies the tactical aspect of the game through weapon, armor, and skill requirement rebalance. It is likely that not everything is balanced adequately, so keep this in mind.

The assembly works on game version 1.0.56617. Functionality on other versions is not guaranteed. Installation instructions are below, after the list of changes.

Mods:

1. Armor/weapon buff from the DLC LivingWeapon

2. Mod to collect ALL undestroyed items from the battlefield

3. Mod to remove the limit on soldiers sent on missions

4. Geoscape tweaks

5. Display of disabled buildings at the base

6. Tweaks to armor penetration mechanics

7. Complete removal of ambushes and empty locations

8. Berserker rage tweak

9. Mod to display detailed info about soldiers

10. Disabling intros and cutscenes that do not affect the plot

11. Mod to convert experience beyond level 7 into skill points

12. Mod for 3 mutations/augmentations instead of 2.

Rebalance settings (note, there are so many that I might forget something):

1. Rebalance of speed, flight range, and number of soldiers in aviation.

2. Ground vehicles — scarabs, aspids, mutogs, and armadillos — if tweaked, it was not by me, but by those who uploaded these files to Nexus. Not verified, except for the scarab — it now has more rockets. By default, consider all vehicles tweaked.

3. Skill usage animations — disabled.

4. All soldiers receive 7 (instead of 3) randomly selected skills.

5. All soldiers have a cap on Will and Speed leveling at 36.

6. All soldiers have a cap on Strength leveling at 100.

7. All soldiers start with 50 SP and gain 50 SP per level (this may be default values, I don't remember)

8. Most skills that led to excessive abuse have been changed.

8.1. Dash costs 0 AP and 4 Will, range — 0.25 of a full move. Movement for Will — yes, abuse — no.

8.2. Will requirements for some extremely useful skills, such as restoring 1 AP to all soldiers, death mark, and others, have been increased.

8.3. All healing-related skills have been slightly altered.

9. All medkits can now heal a disabled limb. Depends on the game's formulas and mechanics. The main thing is that there is a chance.

10. Armor has been radically revised.

10.1. The starting heavy armor of the Phoenix is now the second most armored in the game. The first is the heavy armor of Jericho. This was done for balancing the weapons mentioned below.

10.2. Sniper armor now provides a greater accuracy boost at the cost of reduced armor.

10.3. Overall, most armors have lost serious drawbacks and have been rebalanced towards the stats they provide based on their affiliation.

10.4. The exception is the difference between the sniper armors of Jericho and Synedrion — the former received a greater accuracy bonus based on weapon balancing. Synedrion, in return, received much greater visibility due to perception boost.

10.5. The priest's armor provides more Will, but nothing else.

10.6. Anu's armor mostly provides speed and/or Will.

10.7. Scout armor in full set provides 90% stealth. Now not only the player can cheat stealthily. Until this feature is fixed in patches, it will remain this way.

11. Massive weapon rebalance.

11.1. Basic weapons are untouched, except for the Hell gun — it is now quite pleasant to use.

11.2. All Synedrion weapons have better accuracy and low damage.

11.3. All Jericho weapons have better damage and low accuracy.

11.4. All Anu weapons have various buffs and nerfs.

11.5. All Phoenix weapons have similar buffs and nerfs, combining a middle ground between Synedrion and Jericho.

11.6. Melee weapons have increased damage, stun, or penetration.

11.7. Stun guns of Synedrion have quite high accuracy.

11.8. Overall, almost all weapons have been reworked. Often, any weapon has had its damage slightly increased in each individual case.

INSTALLING MODS:

1. Install Modnix 2.2 — a mod manager for the game, which is included in the archive.

2. After installing Modnix, you need to go to the mod folder. It is located in Documents — Documents/My Games/Phoenix Point/Mods

3. Extract the files from the Mods folder in the archive to the corresponding Mods folder in Documents.

4. Launch the game only through Modnix.

upd. (differences from the previously released mod pack)

- fix for the Phoenix laser SMG (damage reduced, spread increased)

- fix for some abilities (Restoration of 1 AP to all soldiers now requires 2 AP from the user + 12 Will points)

- added mod "The Dead Do Not Hear Enemies" ("PhoenixPt_DeafTheDead.dll")

- update for the "Recruit Information" mod ("PhoenixPt_RecruitInfo.dll")

- Update for the "PhoenixPt_GlobeTweaks.dll" mod. Now icons with recruits will always be visible.
