Fix for Derelict MECs only showing up in pods of size one
There is a missing setting in the original upload that causes Derelict MECs to only show up in pods of 1 MEC by itself. It can be pretty easily fixed with .ini changes though. The file XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini has settings for which other enemy types it can group up with, but is not included in the original mod. I added a listing for Derelict MEC pod leaders and also added them as possible followers to other units (I copied the regular Advent MEC's allowed lists and added Derelict MECs as possible Derelict MEC followers as well). Since then, I started a new campaign and have seen Derelict MECs as part of a mixed pod,.

I also tweaked the encounter lists a little, but that is purely optional. The original had them showing up as pod leaders or followers from force level 1 to 10, I changed them to be leaders at 2 through 7 and followers at 3 through 10 (and 1 through 13 as a summon for a chosen with the mechlord ability). I also changed their maximum number as a follower to 1, except for pods in the automated defenses sitrep (which matches the normal MECs). This means you'll normally only see one Derelict MEC in a mixed pod, but could see two if the leader is a Derelict MEC and there is a Derelict MEC follower. Note that, starting at force level 5, that mixed pod could include standard Advent MECs. Lastly, I went through the encounter lists and added them as lower level options wherever standard MECs were listed.

This is the XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini with the pod allowances. You will need to create a new file with that name in the mod's config folder (<SteamLocation>\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2078690962\Config).

Optional tweaks to XComEncounterLists.ini for this mod. (Meant to replace the original.)
