About this mod
All non-priority research are instant and can be done at research level 1.
- Permissions and credits
- Intended for NG+, but this mod can be installed mid-playthrough.
- I didn't tamper with priority research because it'd probably break the campaign.
- Installing this mod mid-playthrough will make any non-priority research you have instant, but it won't change their research level requirement if you already have them on your research list.
- Gameplay research requirements are still required (take hero on X number of missions, etc..). Ideally, you're playing NG+ and that shouldn't matter.
- You won't see every research at first. You have to complete the research associated with a hero before the two other research associated with them will appear. An example is shown in the image section, and it's outlined in the list below.
- Because of the July Update, the NG Plus Resources Packs have been archived.
