Mod Request: Change the Random-to-Character Pool ratio.

I like playing with a mix of my own saved or custom-made characters and some new randomised characters to liven things up. However, vanilla XCOM sets the ratio to around 50/50 and I'd love to be able to change the ratio so that the majority of the characters are drawn from my pool and I only get a few new ones with each playthrough (maybe a 4:1 ratio favoring the character pool). Is this feasible?

There is no quick INI way of doing it. It would probably have to be scripted. You can however decide what mode the 2 recruiting methods use to pool characters.

 

These are found in the XComGameData.ini

InitialSoldiersCharacterPoolSelectionMode=X (These are your starting soldiers)

RewardUnitCharacterPoolSelectionMode=X (These are soldiers you get from missions, scanning, etc)

RecruitsCharacterPoolSelectionMode=X (These are the characters that show up in the recruit tab in the Armory)

 

For X use one of the following:

 

eCPSM_Mixed - Both Pool and Random

eCPSM_RandomOnly - Random Only

eCPSM_PoolOnly - Pool Only

 

When you make these changes, you will have to remake them if you delete the CONFIG files in your generated XCOM 2 Config folder in the My Games or you toggle the Character Pool options in-game because this universally changes all 3 to be the same.

Thanks dude, I seem to remember there was greater control of the character pool through the UI when the game first came out. Nice to be able to control things a little better. Means I can get randoms for most, and a mix of pool and random for reward soldiers: perfect.
