The X-Com Files / Re: This mod is confusing.. how do i keep failing on march?

Ok so, to be fair, I started a new game last night and it's going a lot better, I must've just had a run of bad luck. And yeah when I say first month I'm talking about January.

The points I could understand if only the civilian AI wasn't literally the worst thing in the world.

But ok, so I get that the research kills the spawns, but I'm currently stuck trying to capture black lotus guys to do Black Lotus, then network. And the missions just are not spawning, its been months, all I get is BL Apprehensions with chumps, or Red Dawn safe houses, which I feel like I dont have the gear for yet.

Is there a way to encourage other cult spawns? Region based, research or something.

I might post the save later if I can't find the problem, I don't have time rn, but cheers for the reply, it explains a bit.

So.. I have the same issue..

I have a fresh install of OXCE and fresh install of XCF. And I've played XCF years ago and was fine, but returning to it, I get random "Rat Infestation -50" "Beach Sightings -25" and "Old Crop circles -33" absolutely constantly.. I started a new playthrough and fast forwarded, I got 4 random negative events in the first 15 days.

Then I got 4 Cult activities and 3 Strange life forms in the first 10 days. I dont remember this mod being so busy.. Is this normal or is there an issue with the latest version?

Secondly, A mission costing -300 if you don't go and awarding like +30 for a flawless completion is so shit, especially when you've finished the cult network researches and it keeps spawning cult activities that only have basic goons at them.

Or you just go to a homicidal maniac mission, shoot one guy and get +700 points?

Anyway, this is a bit of a rant but if nothing is wrong with the version, it desperately needs balancing. I'm not saying its unplayable, but its not fun doing ~20 crap repeat missions a month.
