Title: Can manufacturing projects produce soldiers?
Post by: The Martian on December 13, 2017, 03:58:51 pm
I've seen some mods that allow you to hire different types of soldiers from the purchasing menu.

Is it possible for a manufacturing project to produce a soldier instead of an item, HWP or craft?

Yes, but only in OXCE+. (Unless something has changed in vanilla.)

Thank you for the information. (https://openxcom.org/forum/Themes/InsidiousV1-k/images/post/thumbup.gif)

In that case I'll adapt the project into some kind of HWP for now.  -_^

I'm going to explore the limits of what I can do in standard OpenXcom before giving OXCE+ a try, the advanced functionality I keep reading about it having is very intriguing though.

If you do dive into OXCE, check out Drages' S.A.R. mod for inspiration. That one dances on the border between soldiers and HWPs.

Also Ohartenstein's mod in the X-Com Files section.

I've seen it in Piratez mod, which uses OXCE+. Prisoner (rescued Uber) + some items + workshop man-hours = one more soldier. Haven't tried it, though.
