More Points Of Interest

Description
Your random number of Points of Interest on the map will never fall below the threshold number.

-= DEFAULTS =-

By default, the random additional POIs will spawn at a random location, and have scan times of 5 to 7 days. These special POIs ignore your base game settings and use this mod's defaults.

There will always be five (5) POIs active at any time, excluding the Black Market (it doesn't count it seems, good.)

-= CUSTOMIZE =-

You can change how many POIs should be active at any one time on the board in this mod's INI file.
You can also change the scan time minimum and maximum.

-= CONFIG FILE =-

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\661212980\Config\XComStartingPointsOfInterest.ini

Scan times were removed because they now use the original game ones (which you can configure).

-= COMPATIBILITY =-

No overrides.

-= LW2 COMPATIBILITY =-
This mod is obsolete, THANK GOD.

-= KNOWN ISSUE(S) =-

STOPS AFTER A WHILE: This is a bug in the native XCOM code. From the log, the game is trying to access an empty variable so I believe it's trying to generate a POI and finding nothing. I wish I could override all the POI stuff but it's not possible. The code is also not "static" so it cannot be called outside their original functions. Sorry.

-= TECH TALK =-

- Mod uses a ScreenListener that is constantly called when you are on the Hologlobe to keep the POI number up to the limit. It also runs when you get a pop-up to make sure it doesnt just refresh when you enter/exit the avenger.

-= WOTC VERSION =-

The vanilla version is not going to be updated. I'm sure there's a workaround, look up the XCOM support forums. I'm sure this isn't the only one doing this.

I actually play it without WOTC. The base version is the one that isn't working. Sorry for not specifying that.

Love this mod and have used it for a long time but with the most recent update it will not show up on the launchers mod list and allow me to enable it. Any chance this will be getting an update anytime? I can't find any other mod that adds these features.

Do not use this mod with WOTC this is probably your issue you posted on both mods, pick one.

Hello! I suspect that because of this mod, I did not have a black market until the end of the game. What ideas are there?

Firaxis bug, could not correct. Might require a Highlander fix, but the POI deck gets depleted for no foreseable reason.

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. It works really well in the early game. In the late game, the points of interest stop being generated. I'm not sure if that is intended or not.

It's coming to Stream later. Gollop got $2million for that deal. $2million that his tiny little company needed. And on the Epic store, they give half of the royalties away for each sake that they do on Steam. It was a pretty business decision that only stands to benefit us.
