My bug fixes are also available in a standalone mod.īalance Mod already incorporates my Heavy Ion Stunner graphic, and my graphical fixes for the Hull Beam, Beam Drone 2, and Zoltan C’s reactor bar. This mod is my attempt at squaring that circle. In other words: I’m something of a purist, but I enjoy Balance Mod. When an endgame Auto-scout runs out of ammo after firing twin Letos three times, I feel there has been too much meddling. This mod was prompted by some changes in Balance Mod 3.6. When I play a win streak, I want to feel sure I’ve earned it. What I don’t want from Balance Mod are changes designed to make the game less harsh or reduce the effect of RNG. Increased hacking costs and removal of the bypass make hacking a less complete “win button”.īalance Mod also applies polish, care, and craftsmanship. Increased Flak 1 and Halberd rarity means they carry fewer runs. Importantly, this also reduces sale value. What I want from Balance Mod is a more enjoyable, varied, and nuanced version of FTL.īalance Mod makes trash items more usable, often just by reducing their cost.

The current version is designed for Balance Mod 3.6.2, but should work fine with other versions too.

In Slipstream Mod Manager, you need both mods enabled, and Balance Mod Light must be loaded after Twinge’s Balance Mod. To be perfectly honest, I think Twinge’s Balance Mod may be the best version of FTL, and I’d recommend it instead of this. I’ve erred towards making the game harder rather than easier. It reverts some changes for an experience that is closer to Vanilla FTL. Your doctors will appreciate treating fewer bruised wrists and hurt feelings.Mike's FTL stuff > Balance mod light FTL Balance Mod Light by Mike Hopleyīalance Mod Light is my custom version of Twinge’s Balance Mod. It’s a reasonable tweak that allows your better-armored troops to put their plating to use without worrying about instant wound time. In layman's terms, that means if you’re wearing armor that gives you an extra four health and you only take four damage or less, you’re not wounded, and taking five would be a light injury with a quick recovery. With this mod, they’re only given wounds based on how much damage they took to their basic health value. When your troops come home in vanilla, they’re assigned wounded time based on how much damage they took, period.

Its Just A Scratch (opens in new tab) is another in a series of sensible tweaks for the XCOM player. In short, if you felt like the only heavies worth using were the Shredder and the Rocket/Blaster Launcher, this mod evens things out so that Flamers and Plasma Blasters are more competitive as choices for your EXO troops. Heavy Weapon Tweaks both buffs and nerfs the player’s arsenal. I think every soldier should have some chance to survive a knockout regardless of rank or experience, so this mod is one of my favourites. BleedOutModīleedOutMod overhauls the chances your troopers have to start bleeding out when critically wounded instead of flat out dying. Be warned: now that Stun Lancers remember they have guns, they are easily fifteen times as hateable. Another excellent set of changes is how the AI will pick and choose from many more options at any given moment, making enemies far less predictable than their vanilla brains allowed. Enemies will ruthlessly prioritize killshots and flank opportunities, overwatch only when the situation makes it tactically favourable, and rarely spam their various abilities if it’s better to just shoot you in your face instead. While you may have experienced the AI granting you small acts of mercy in vanilla-acts such as ignoring a low HP trooper to fire at a healthier one, or using an ability on you instead of taking an easy flank shot-this mod ensures such friendly sportsmanship is long over. You need to make them kill you harder, too.Ī Better AI is the perfect mod for the job, increasing the decision making and ruthless killer instinct of every enemy in the game. It’s not enough to just make killing your enemies harder.
