Anyone else running this on mac and having a hard time getting mods to work? If I subscribe to them in workshop, they don't show up in mod manager at all. I found some instructions on the Feral site about downloading them from the nexus and then manually dropping them in a mods folder in the local directory, and that worked initially, but the next time I booted the game they disappeared from the mod manager after a second. Now they won't show up at all. For some reason, there are apparently like three different mod folders between the XCOM 2 folder in SteamApps and the Feral Interactive folder, but I haven't been able to find a clear set of instructions on how they're supposed to be set up. I tried moving stuff around and a couple of times got the mods to show up in the manager again, but then the launcher would crash a second or two after loading, so that's not helpful. I just want my horse heads and wizard hats, dammit. Hulk Krogan fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Feb 26, 2016 |

The Avatars have a pretty cool design, except for the hair. I really wish they could at least have something other than white torchheads. I'm also very fond of the auto-customize on the PSI troopers.

Anybody else is running into that bug where if Implacable kicks in you can't end your turn? I had the same happen with a Hacked enemy. Is there anyway out of this short of reloading the turn?

I appreciate that if you put Bradford in a war suit, the only change to his model is that he puts the heavy weapon launcher on his wrist.Zomborgon posted:The Avatars have a pretty cool design, except for the hair.

Gameplay mods might work, but require you to place them in /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCOM 2/XCOM2Data/xcomgame/mods.

So my colonel specialist doesn't seem to have a cooldown on his haywire protocol. Like it says there is a 4 turn cooldown, but after he uses the ability it's still immediately available. Is this some factor I don't know about or a bug? Steam forums don't mention anyone else with similar behavior.

It's weird - if I now go back and subscribe to the same mods in the Workshop, they'll show up in mod manager but the launcher crashes after a couple of seconds. I guess I should try getting rid of capnbubs and fancy dress party and see if I can at least get Stop Wasting My Time and a couple other basic ones to work.

a cow posted:Press 1 to bring up a shot or something, then end turn. Doesn't work either. The bug happens when Implacable triggers but I switch to another squad member and do something else. When I go back to the first soldier, she's still "active" as if I could issue an order (although with Implacable you can only move) but I can't do anything. All hotkeys are greyed out and I can't move either, nor end the turn. Happened to me during an Avenger assault where I hacked one of the robots. He was on Overwatch when I took control of it, and after I clicked on it I couldn't issue commands (which makes sense because he was on Overwatch) but couldn't end the turn either. Oh well, I just reloaded the save and that fixed it.

So I unsubbed and resubbed all my mods, and then XCOM2 said it was getting a 700mb patch. I also verified everything, and took out the new crysalid mods I was trying. Now it crashes at the load save screen, even before I get to a map  I think Im going to move my saves elsewhere and do a fresh install.

They look like those little troll toys with colored hair you could find in toy vending machines. As for bladestorm and folded steel katana rangers in general I upped the damage and crit chance by a few points, they should at least have that over using the shotgun due to the higher risks involved (whiffing with the sword loving suuuucks).

immortal flow posted:I just got the 'kill a sectopod in the turn you encounter it' achievement in a weird way - my dudes were all on overwatch when one blundered into my line of sight, and the achievement popped up immediately. Cue a minute of overwatch fire, ending with a lucky Execute!!!!! proc. I guess all the shooting calculations are done immediately, not as the shot actually takes place. It felt pretty odd to be prescient for a minute though. I got the achievement for beating the game right as the enemy turn started, it seems everything is calculated behind the scenes first then the animations happen.

Workshops: not actually worth it? On Commander, a workshop costs 125+100 supplies, if I recall correctly, and 2+1 power (+values indicating the cost of upgrading the facility). It is also 40+35 supplies a month upkeep. So, an upgraded shop with two engineers gets you effectively two more engineers. +2 engineers. However, it takes 3 power. 3 power might plausibly be said to be worth about 3/5 of an engineer, because an engineer at a power relay gives 5 power. So the shop gives more like ~1.5 engineers. However, it costs 225 supplies. You can get an engineer at resistance HQ for 225 supplies* - maybe a bit more later game, but early game for a chunk less. So you can plausibly say the shop gives more like ~0.5 engineers. However, it costs another 75 supplies a month in upkeep. That's another engineer's worth of money every few months, about. As time goes on the workshop is negative engineers. So, workshops not worth it? *further, should you not wish to have the engineer, you can have the money handy to afford all the other fun toys it can buy in early months, like mag weapons. And admittedly this is hoping an engineer actually exists for purchase at RHQ. SuperKlaus fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Feb 26, 2016 |

Is it possible to beat the game without Psi troops? I feel like I've got a good thing going with my A and B teams and I haven't invested anything toward unlocking psi people. I've hit 3-4 plot sites, for reference.

Note to self: always make sure to skull jack at the beginning of the turn- Blowing it as a last move of a turn is just asking for the pain train to come to town.

Segmentation Fault posted:GREMLINs can excavate and build. They're functionally identical to engineers. it's really why you want them asap. it may cost more long term, but it's the early game where you struggle. plus, those savings don't account for opportunity cost; what gains you effectively lose due to a lethargic start versus a double engineer booster shot.

Just tested the patch. Art assets still do not load, but gameplay mods do and now work natively from the workshop.

Landing an Execute proc on an Avatar is hilarious and probably the only reason I did not wind up having to reload on my first attempt at the final mission. That, and Rapid Fire. My god is that perk insane.

So when you get the Squad wide Squadsight hacking buff, does that mean you can hit from across the map with Assault Rifles and Cannons and junk? Trying to get ideas for... things... in a mod and was curious as to whether or not squadsight would even be useful to someone not sniping.

So this is a first. Had an unrevealed Gatekeeper cast the reanimate+damage thing from off screen, damaging a few of my soldiers and raising a few zombies. It wasn't revealed until 2 turns later, but I think it had one of the corpses in its line of sight. I guess it can cast that prior to activation. Thankfully no one died, but now I'm real paranoid around trooper corpses.

Yeah but Squadsight has a pretty nasty to-hit penalty once you go really far so grenadiers and rangers aren't going to hit much.

I've hit 3-4 plot sites, for reference. For what it's worth you can just park a rookie in the Psi lab and continue doing missions with your A squad, and eventually he will end up at max level Psi without a single mission under his belt. The final mission might be tough without mind control and the various skills a Psi-guy brings, but it's certainly possible.

The Squadsight hack is a trap, only Snipers get enough aim to offset the penalty on the regular and they already have Squadsight. The only way I see it working is on Specialists thanks to their 2nd-best aim growth, and even then if the target is far enough it'll be a waste. The king of lamp-post hack results is always going to be refreshing your entire squad's action points, and it's bizarre that it's only an easy hack result compared to every enemy getting their Will scores halved, which is insanely situational.
