📋 About This Mod
Makes all actions that cost prestige credits now use influence instead.There are three versions to select from that set the influence cost to 1x, 1.5x, or 2x the original cost of prestige credits to suit your personal preference.
Description
There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to escaping the grind of Daybreak. Either you repeatedly grind it, max your prestige at 99,999, or just make all items cost 0. Balance is non-existent for people that just want to play the campaign but have access to end-game items without the Daybreak grind and without cheats.Well, no longer is that the case.
With this mod, all actions that cost prestige credits will now cost influence instead. Including:
-
[]All prestige trader items
[
]Red Talon recruits[]CLEO supply drops
The only small exception are the CLEO supply drops. Influence costs for those are actually already built into the game via the CLEO facility in the Trumbull Valley Red Talon base at 1024 influence per supply drop, but not for the Daybreak unlockable CLEO core. So I chose to keep the 1024 influence as the 1x value and scale the other versions according to that.
--------------------------------------------------
If you are trying to find specific traits for a recruit, my preferred method here is radioing for the recruit, meet them and check their skills, and if it's not what I want, simply exit to the main menu and load back in. The recruit and their traits will be regenerated without you having to radio again, avoiding the above refunding issue.
--------------------------------------------------
This mod was aimed at simplicity and balance. I was shocked it didn't already exist. It allows players who care nothing for Daybreak to play the campaign without needing to grind those annoying credits.
