ah ok thanks for the quick answer

Nope! It will reset the focus tree progress to the beginning for the BoS, which is a limitation of the game unfortunately...

hey quick question is this mod save game compatible?

Hah, that makes sense! No problem, have fun!

I figured out what my issue was, the planes I was trying to do it were just transports lmao. Also thanks for pointing me towards the simulators, there's just so much content that it's hard to grasp it all.

You couldn't train? That's definitely not from this mod, air training absolutely does work. The Underground Simulators also provide an air XP option which is the intended method.

What's the best way to get the needed 25 air exp for the Shi BOS? Or any way at all actually, was struggling to even get started with it despite having some planes and an airbase since I couldn't train for some reason.

Same as vanilla, there's a decision available when the reformers are High Elder to recognize the NCR that gets you access! FWIW, it's very much intended for you to beeline to it or not do it at all, though the Reformers have full BoS path available to them if that's not your jam.

Hey, Just curious on how to gain access to the steel rangers tree

When you finish it, it makes a bunch of the underground construction decisions finish faster, including generating new slots.

I had no idea somebody submodded my submod, that's amazing.

I don't know if this mod, or Lost Hills 2.0. But what does Improved Underground Construction Research do?

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks

Send Advisors goes into effect immediately. You're at risk of losing your paladins for 200 days.

Hey, I just wanted to ask why does the "Send Advisors to the Mojave" decision have the requirement for the Mojave BOS to already be at war with the Mojave Territories? That requirement combined with the 200 days it takes for the decision to come into effect pretty much makes the decision useless as the brotherhood are either already dead by the time it executes or have already taken enough land to win without my help.

Nope, you're all good! I've taken them off as I think it's caused more questions than its saved me, haha!

Circle of Steel cells enable a few operations (such as raiding advanced tech, giving a nationwide supply debuff which is... alright given current vanilla balancing) in places where you have them. Once the cell is gone, you can't do those anymore.

Are the sub-map-mods actually required for this to function properly, or will it work without them(since they currently won't work with the current version of OWB)?

So what does the circle of steel cells do?

There is Improved Bunker Construction your scribes can research, which speed it up by about 20 days (and speeds up moving factories underground proportionally), I will note it though!

just a thought more or less, love the mod as i love bos. would be cool if you could do a soft update to the bunker upgrades to balance them out a bit more. like with order of the spade. just making it so you get more than 1 building slot per 60 days. or make it so there are more options to get more.

@Danceymetal what chapters did you manually release? The following tag (should...) all get automatically released: BSF MOJ GRD WBH TCA MXC MNC TBH BMW BAP BGF BLS

Oof, a lot to unpack there. What mods were you running? There's a focus in each chapter's tree that tells you chapters will be more likely to send volunteers - had you completed that? Was The Cause still at war with Washington when you triggered NCR War Volunteers?

Foreign council definitely seems off - chapters should be released automatically if you hold their territory, unless you'd already cored it yourself, I suppose. That's the easy one for me to look at lol

2 thing i've noticed, the first is that when I went to war with the NCR I did not recieve any volunteers from surviving chapters, they did get the spirit but like for the sisters of steel it said a gamerule prevented them from sending them, and the cause did not get the spirit at all. second thing is that "A Foreign Council" did not provide a decision to send aid or let me release chapters, I had to manually release them which gives the default BOS puppet tree which also stops stuff like San Franciso chapter giving you stuff in your Focus Tree

Ah, sorry. I don't actually support that. I've put in compatibility patches for the map expansion mods, so if they're on-map you can send them aid. (If there's any issues with it... let me know!)

Which focus allows you to send aid to the off map chapters? I like being able to keep the gulf chapter alive evem if they are off screen haha

Yep! I'll push out an empty update, just to make it clear at a glance.

Still working with all the updates?

Yes. Those are the mapmods I support, but you can play without them.

I list them since I get fewer questions about if they're compatible that way, haha!

does this mod work right now? ECR and its other dependencies are outdated

No problem, I wish you the best! It's definitely not an easy fight hahaha, I still don't win reliably. I wrote up a guide on the original Lost Hills release(in one of the owb communities... discord?), but a lot of that doesn't apply anymore.

Equipment Capture Ratio is very useful, so enhancing that through research/spirits/leader traits is all pretty helpful.

Hey, thanks for the response. I read t before posting and I'm pretty sure I fulfilled more than 2. Maybe there are still mechanics I don't understand and I am doing something wrong here. I'll continue to try, but 7 times in a row is frustrating :)

Hi Dark Sage, please see the FAQ at the end of the description. The BoS-NCR war is not easy after the power armour nerf, but the mod makes the war easier than vanilla.

I just can't win with this.

Easiest difficulty, everything researched, army of setries, best powerarmor an plasma rifles with expanded divisions (like 40 divisions when I tested with debug mode), 7-10 years pass and either Legion or NCR just steamroll me. Best I could do is survive few moths. I just don't know what I do wrong...

Thank you for your kindness! But, Ii such a mashup was to ever happen i'd want it to be between myself and AV's creator directly, not done by someone else. So I am withholding my permission on that - sorry.

Perhaps you can throw a few things in Suggestions that you think would improve LHE? Maybe i'll find out something you want is already in the mod and there's just not enough signalling for you to find it.

Could I try to make a mashup of this mod and ad victoriam? I feel like there are great aspects within both but no balance between the two.

G.O.A.T

Torni is the more "brotherhood" reformer. Llwyd is a more alt-history tack, where you do a lot more to emulate the NCRs structure, hopefully without its systemic corruption.

which si the better reformer , torni or llwyd

If they haven't locked in the NCR choice yet, there is a special operation you can do with your spies to boost the Brotherhood Sympathizers in Shi. If they have, there is nothing you can do. You can still get the Schematics from them through the "Avenging The Fallen" focus.

Is there any way to flip shi state to the brotherhood if they went NCR, or am I locked out of that part of the content?

Keep up the good work brother , Ad Victoriam!

There are Chapter focuses related to Taggerdy's group, yes. Those are vanilla focuses.

the required mods doesnt add any content to appalachia
But in the focus tree there is an appalachian branch is it normal

It's an either or situation, you can't use multiple overhaul submods for the same nation.

question is this compatible with Ad Victoriam or this is an either or situation

Thank you! And happy new year!

@Obsdiangolem You won't get a notification until their chapter conflicts spirit expires. If you yourself are unable to send volunteers for some reason (like being at war, or having not done the focus that lets you send volunteers yet - near the very start of the tree) you won't get one either.

If they become eligible later, the notification should still fire within a week of their chapter conflict spirit expiring, etc.

If you want to aid them during the period where they can't accept volunteers, you can use the Consider Aid decision unlocked by completing the Radio Towers focus, lend-lease them, or take the "Send an Expedition to the Mojave" decision unlocked by completing the New Expeditions focus.

The Mojave was attacked and I got no notifications for being able to send volunteers, is this working as intended? (Also, don't lister to Zoat)

@Incawgnito Try now!

For some reason having Fountain of Dreams in my game is disabling the scribe mechanic for Lost Hills. Might be doing something wrong on my end don't really know much about modding, just checking if this is a known problem, thanks for the help.

But I hate everything about the Lost Hills tree. The old version was better and had more story, which is ridiculous because it barely had any. It's so bad that it makes other focus trees worse just by existing. Fixing it would require reworking Shi, Guardians and the NCR in order to make it work.

To make the universal teleporter make sense they would have to either actually have a teleporter, or they would have to come to terms with the NCR first.
