Changing recruiting cost

[MarcByrne]

I would like to change the supply cost of recruiting new rookies. Where do I go to find the right file? I am not experienced in changing files so tell me like I'm a child. Thanks.

Go to your steam library and go to the following folder:

steamapps/workshop/268500/844674609/config

Now open the file XComGameData.ini with a text editor, heavily recommend Notepad++ and search for "RecruitSupplyCosts".

You'll see the following:

Code: Select all

RecruitSupplyCosts[0]=10 ;Easy
RecruitSupplyCosts[1]=10 ;Normal
RecruitSupplyCosts[2]=10 ;Classic
RecruitSupplyCosts[3]=10 ;Impossible

The values 0-4 represent the difficulty levels rookie (0) through to legend (4). The values (10) are the supply costs. Change these to whatever you like.

Bear in mind I believe one of the continent bonuses is to reduce recruit cost to 0, so if you were to set it to 0 here you might end up with a useless bonus if you managed to get it in your campaign. (I might be wrong though and they took that one out, haven't seen it yet).
