Mod abandoned
As of Update 1.4, I will no longer be providing support for this mod.

I have attempted to update the mod to be compatible with the upcoming Game Update 1.5. However, there are too many changes to the systems that this mod utilizes. At this point, I am uncertain how much time it would require to get the mod working, or if it is even feasible.

Update 1.5 will incorporate some of the settings from this mod into the base game rules.

I invite anyone who is interested to take the source code, create a patched version, and upload it to their own Steam Workshop/Nexus Mods.



This mod adds custom settings for various aspects of the game. More settings will be added in the future.

Settings are found in Main Menu > Options > Mod Options > Custom Settings.

Multiple I.M.P. mercenaries:
When creating multiple I.M.P. mercenaries, avoid using the same portrait, as the game will see them as the same character.

If you are stuck not being able to create a new I.M.P. (Mod menu > Fix > Unlock creating new I.M.P.)


Base Drop Chance:
The numbers represent the percentage chance of enemies dropping items of different types that they are carrying. If you set all drop rates to 100%, enemies will drop all the items they carry.

Due to the way save games function, modifying the base drop chance will only take full effect when starting a new game.

When you create a game, a number of sector NPCs and initial squads are generated. The Base Drop Chance settings won't alter units and squads that have already spawned, but it will influence anything generated while the setting is enabled.

As you continue playing the game, new squads will be created, which occurs quite quickly, eliminating the need to start a new save game. However, even later in the game, when facing the initial squads, they will drop fewer items.

For a comprehensive list of which item belongs to each type, please refer to:
Item Types


Mod Menu:
Menu with additional features that that go beyond the scope of simple in-game settings. It includes an Advanced Settings editor and various fixes that can be applied to a save game.

Open the Mod Menu using Ctrl-Alt-S.

The hotkey can be changed in Main Menu > Options > Key Bindings > Toggle Custom Settings Mod Menu.
