v2.9

UPDATE: Due to ever more popular opinion adjusted SPARK Healing Rate to be higher than normal to account for having more SPARKS healing/in rotation

UPDATE: Added a compatibility listener event between SPARK custom classes and either of the advanced build projects from Mechatronic Warfare or Metal Over Flesh.
Many thanks to TeslaRage for the groundwork on this

v2.8

UPDATE: Added Russian translation provided by Aks & Cryxalus.
Many thanks!

v2.7

BUGFIX: Fixed a minor typo in one small script, that led me into fixing a few more...
No one complained, so I guess no one noticed.. but still :)

v2.6

UPDATE: Due to popular feedback, reset the SPARK healing rate back to the default base game rate of 80. The config is still easily accessable from the mod for people that do want to change it :)

v2.5

BUGFIX: Fixed an oversight in the allowed units in slot check, that was making the Auto-Fill function fill the slot for wounded SPARKS that were out on missions or on covert actions.. doh!

Many thanks to Kaen_SG for highlighting the issue !

v2.4

BUGFIX: Detailed Soldier Lists should now show the correct string for Robotics that are wounded but on Covert Actions/Infiltrating

v2.3

FEATURE UPDATE: From a suggestion from CerebralCloud92 on discord; now has an option to ensure that Character Templates added to the ExtraSparkSoldierTemplatesForSlot list in the config are correctly assigned as bIsRobotic in their Character Template.

This is mainly to force a switch for the MEC Troopers, if they are set to be needing to use the ERRF Slots.

The MEC Troopers option is disabled by default, as .. I'll be honest .. I have no idea currently what, if any, knock-on effects this would have for MEC Troopers, but I can't forsee any issues.

All other supported units already have this flag set to true so... ...

v2.2

BUGFIX: Fixes an issue that allowed tired soldiers to go on covert ops, oversight on my part! Should not cause any issues with ongoing campaigns, any units sent out tired should still finish thier covert op.. just new units can't be selected for the CA slot if tired/shaken.

Wounded SPARKS can still go on covert ops though :)

v2.1

BUGFIX: Should now work correctly and auto-detect if Starting SPARK is also subbed too. A new game should have 2 unlocked slots (not 3) and the first proving ground project correctly opens the 3rd slot ... this fix is not retro-active

FEATURE UPDATE: Now recognises EWR Squadmates as 'robotic' by default. This can be changed in the configs.

v2.0

Yes, I jumped a few steps from v1.6.1 to here. This is because of the near year gap in development and because of all the new stuff in this version.
