📋 About This Mod
Part of the MW5 Rebalanced project I am working on.
I was tired of going to a factions space and getting more missions for independents or rival factions than from the Controlling faction so now we have this.
When the game is loaded up with this mod installed it will create an ini file in C:\MW5MC that allows you to change the values for faction standing rewards and the chance for missions spawned to be offered by the controlling faction.
This will also increase the number of missions spawned per planet as well as increase the number of missions that can spawn in a Cluster.
Remember that the Controlling faction of a Planet isn't always the same as controlling faction for a cluster.
This mod will be replacing Everyone Loves a Merc. and be part of a larger rebalance that will be available in pieces so you can choose what you want.
I moved the faction standing changes out of Progression Function Library so it should be compatible with market mods that change that now.
It does change TOIClusterLogic so mods like High employment wont work with it but this also does what that mod does anyway.
Added logic to make it compatible with all YetAnother mods.
If using YAW and YAWC make sure this mod overrides them.
HUGE THANKS:

💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or manual installation — the description doesn't specify, so read the mod page comments for user tips.

- If you're using other mods that alter faction standing or missions, load order might matter — try placing this one last.
