Hi, all. Just what the topi says. I am trying to tweak the balance a bit by altering the cost and salary of scientists and engineers, but I can't figure out which file to edit. The only thing I can find which mentions it is the vars_XCOMFILES.rul file, but altering it doesn't seem to do anything. Any help is appreciated.

Unrelated note: I'm really enjoying the mod so far. I am about six months in. I have pretty frequent crashes, but it's a lot of fun, like when I thought I won a battle by killing a mongorn only to find that there were six or seven more ready to murder my guys.

Check the ruleset reference, but the entry you happened upon should be the one you need to modify.

Also, you should not encounter frequent crashes - please report all such occurences (with the appropriate info) in the bug-thread.

The only possible crash in 2.4 is an issue with citizens/police/military vs. monsters. Anything else is probably on your end.
