Introducing
Background Mine/Oil Rig Income Modifier and Mining/Drilling Foreman Assignment

New facility assignment
Mining Foreman/Drilling Foreman
Reqs: 70 Wisdom, 70 Leadership, 70 Town Loyalty OR having foreman background (NPC head miners, any non-zero mine income modifier)

Backgrounds.xml new tags:
<mine_income>20</mine_income>
<oil_rig_income>20</oil_rig_income>
If assigned as foreman override normal facility bonus. Added to all miners/rig workers backgrounds.

Final mine income modifier with assignment and background modifiers included
1. Head miner not recruited, alive and well in mine sector = 100% income

2. Head miner recruited/dead, no replacement assigned = 50% income
We assume if we don't assign anyone, someone relatively competent from mine workers takes this position.

3. Head miner recruited/dead, replacement assigned = 75% income
High wisdom, leadership and town loyalty required.

4. Head miner recruited, assigned as head miner to facility = 100% income
Same as scenario 1, but can be used as normal merc if needed (e.g. town defense). Also head miners don't need to pass any skill/loyalty requirements for foreman assignment.

Exception - Calvin is so incompetent (negative income mod) that with him as a foreman modifier is 70% - recruiting him and replacing him with anyone else INCREASES income. Room for adjustment if you think that's TOO MUCH of hot air.

Other - adjusted some stuff in Data-Vengeance/TableData/Map/Facilities.xml (mines to rigs, etc.), but noticed some other sectors might need fixes to accommodate VR maps.

That should be a good start toward making miners stand out from other RPCs. Now just to make them vary more between each other.

OK, added to Ja2_Options.ini new setting: Financial Settings > MINE_NO_FOREMAN_PENALTY. Set it to 50, upped foreman assignment bonus to 25 and miners background bonuses to 50. You can now adjust it freely without messing with code. For best effect make sure penalty is close to miners background bonus.
1. Head miner not recruited, alive and well in mine sector = 100% income
2. Head miner recruited/dead, no replacement assigned = 50% income
3. Head miner recruited/dead, replacement assigned = 75% income
4. Head miner recruited, assigned as head miner to facility = 100% income

Also didn't mention clearly enough, oil rig and mines are separate entities with separate bonuses - we have 2 miners and 3 oil rig foremans, you cannot assign miner to rig and vice versa (well, you can, but only as normal merc with high reqs and for 75% income).

Another thing, since Calvin doesn't get bonus you're effectively one foreman short for oil rigs, Player might want to shuffle availablr oil rig foremans/replacement around to maximize income.

Hello guys.

1)How I can use the Grenade Panel?
2)How can I use the BORS (Barrett Optical Ranging System)? Even on max. settings of Bobby Ray's all available sniper rifles cannot use it.
3)Has BORS night vision version or is there a way to make it somehow (by merging for example)?
4)On the web I found a gun using a BORS named Barrett XM109 with caliber 25x59mm. Is this gun in the game?
5)How can I use Ghillie Set Woodland and Desert? The description says use on Ghillie Suit, but I tried and nothing happened.
6)On max. setting Bobby Ray's is available ammo .408 Cheytac. But no gun for it. Are there guns in game for it (for example at local dealers or sectors etc.)?
7)Is the BORS the most powerful scope or is there even better in game?
8)Are in game night scopes for guns with long sighs (like more than 20 tiles)? Because even with maxed out Bobby Ray's there are no such scopes and looks like the game forces you to use pistols with night settings.
9)How many sniper rifles are in the game? Can be approximately. Because it seems to me even on max. Bobby Ray's selection is limited.
10)Is in the game some ultimate gun? I mean for example you have to do merging (like with M21 Tactical+EBR Stock which gives you a new gun) and the result will be a gun with awesome stats.
11)Can I find somewhere a list of merging items? Because I wondering about: Small Rails Conversion Kit, Large Rails Conversion Kit, Discarded LAW, Cigars, Cuban Cigars, Emergency Flare (I can put Duct Tape on it, but what after...), Empty Mortar Shell, Fertilizer, Gas, Oil.
12)It's possible to change camo type on LBE attachments? If yes, how?  If not, is there some mod where is this possible? This would be awesome for custom vests.
13)How does Sandbags work? Because when I build it, enemies can still see me even when I'm right behind it. Behind two rows is like behind the wall (not visible when prone).
14)I found tall Sandbags in sector B10 left in the upper corner behind a small house. When I'm standing right behind them, I can't see over them at all. Can I build these?
15)Can I build Sandbags on roofs?
16)Is in game ammo DU (Depleted Uranium-extreme penetration ability)?
17)Is there craftable door traps and how can I make them and install them? Because I tried Soda Can with String on doors and nothing happened.
18)What is possible to attach in the gun slot "Internal Attachments"? I have never encountered something fitting there.
19)The combination of: Rag+String+Quick Glue+Camo Kit creates Camo Helmet Cover. Urban and desert gives Mk.III. Wood only Mk.I. Is there a way to create a Wood Camo Cover Mk.III?

Try using suppression fire to give your squad enough time to find cover. It also helps if you recruit at least one merc with good leadership skills or someone who has the deputy or squad leader trait, this makes your lower level mercs less scared during combat.

What do you mean by walls are out of cards? Send us a screen grab of walls you think are being able to be looked through.

Okay, this can be an issue from even the old Vanilla days of the original JA2, which happened more noticeably at Meduna.

Is it happening in one of the out buildings or on the large concrete dam walls itself. Again a screenshot would help find the exact place it's happening. If you've already visited that map and there are no hostiles there you can revisit in on the tactical screen, even if your mercs are elsewhere.
