Highly Recommended Mods
Run and gun: Recommended as some enemies will attempt to flee and will give extra engagements in gameplay.
Simple Sidearms: Allows for players to utilise guns and breaching tools at the same time
Combat Extended: This mod is intended and balanced to be played with combat extended and is highly recommended however not necessary
Incompatibilities
AI 500 and anything that alters combat ai: As far as I am tracking AI 500 has given me several errors as well as causes pawns to dig out of their fortifications, best to avoid if at all possible.
Common Questions
CE?
Yes, and recommended
Why are there so many requirements for this mod?
To put simply it gives me as a modder a lot of leeway to create believable structures and factions without having to cram this mod with a lot of stuff. the breakdown is..
RH2 Weapons: Easier to use and already had combat extended capabilites
RH2 Clothing: Is very diverse and allows for more customisation for both this and factions in the works
RH2 Boris Furniture: A more tactical set of buildings that allows for the compounds and tactical styled rooms
Urban Framework: Contains the AI, as well as the requirements for the UO system to work
VFE: Allows for more control of the faction in the world view as well as the custom settlements
DLC's:
Ideo: for more faction control
Bio: for xeno contol and genes
Will other factions be able to utilise the urban system?
Unfortunately no, the system works off the Hadm being pre placed in the room and saved using VFE, this means that unfortunately only the Hadm can utilize the urban system. However Vanilla base generation still functions with this mod
Can I use this mod without having RH2 Weapons or RH2 Clothing?
- The answer is now yes and here is how. Go to settings>mod options> VFE framework> Toggle Tab (at top)> Toggle what you want switched to vanilla.
(BUT NOTE)
- You will get errors if you have removed RH2 clothing or weapons, however this is not game breaking if you have them toggled to true in mod options and restarted the game
- Enemy bases will not have any of the RH2 items chosen in their settlements so many stockpiles will be empty
- Enemies use the standard loadout/clothing of outlanders when switched to vanilla
