Huge shout out for creating this mod, and then jumping over rakes only to land in a rabbit hole of Firaxis spaghetti.

Players who truly want their games to run well should check out Zelfana's collections of fixes and standard mods.

Actually, I just automated the fix after finding more similar items added by mods.

Heads up, if you used up the shared XCOM Ability Points and they went to zero and broke before this latest update you have to fix it manually by adding the item to your inventory with this console command (you can use any quantity you want if you lost out on some AP):

AddItem AbilityPoint 10

Thanks to Reshi for stepping on the rake, thanks to Zelfana for putting it back in the shed 👍👍

@Zelfana
Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess I've been lucky and not seen the sort of thing you describe. I guess I won't at all now if I subscribe to the mod. Thanks for publishing it.

These issues shouldn't be common if people did things right.

The most common things this mod fixes are duplicate items in costs that some mods have. Like Weapon and Item Overhaul having 1 Elerium Core twice in Proving Ground armor projects.

Others have completely invisibly broken costs like per difficulty config not working because of some quirk in the game itself and this mod can fix those.

And then the mentioned issue with putting non-resource items in ResourceCosts which I have no idea how common it is but it definitely happens. This is not a problem until you run out of an item and it leaves behind that zero item stack in the inventory so you may not run into it at all.

So yeah, a bunch of small issues that you may not realize are happening. Should be no harm enabling this mod all the time (apart from then not knowing what was broken and got fixed without enabling logging and looking in the log).

Is what this fixes a common occurrence? I'm struggling to understand what it does.

Do some mod-added Engineering projects call for a negative number of some resource or something? Is that what items and item stacks are in this case?

No, that sounds like a problem the mods themselves have to fix or you're missing Musashi's Mods Fixes that fixes it for Musashi's mods that are not getting updated.

Can't be automatically fixed for every mod doing the part wrong that breaks it.

Does it Help against the Main weapon cycle Problem? The Problem when a Mod not correctly use a Template and puts several weapons/armors/items in one Slot? Result IS the cycling weapon.
