Automated Agency Upgrades from FFTF

This is an automation for upgrading your spy agency, it does just what it says on the tin.

TheGamerCant and I created this for the Fight For The Fatherland mod, but decided to release it as a standalone mod in order to make it available to everyone before we finish the upgrade we're working on.

How it works:

Once you have created a spy agency, you get the button to open it.

In there you get a dropdown window, select ON to begin automatically upgrading your agency, or load up the queue and select only queue if there are only so many upgrades you want

Because we don't want the player to be able to just cheat, you aren't allowed to manually upgrade your agency while the automation is active or vise versa.

During the upgrade process, the amount of factories you'd need for the normal upgrade is requisitioned by this decision - it takes just as long as a regular upgrade and even accounts for any active modifiers to the agency upgrade speed (however that is calculated on the start of each upgrade meaning if you did hire an Illusive Gentleman, the faster agency upgrades don't apply to the one currently ongoing, but this is just a couple of lost days, you'll live).

While you can just tick the checkbox if you don't care about the order the upgrades are done in, you also have the option to queue up certain upgrades you want done first, isn't that cool?

For Upgrades with multiple levels, you can shift click it to have all levels be added to the queue at once! You can of course edit the queue: remove upgrades with the X, the up and down arrows move the upgrade forward or backwards, hold shift while pressing the arrow keys to move the upgrade to the front or the back of the queue.

As certain upgrades have prerequisites other then having the necessary factories, as long as these aren't met, the automation won't cheat them in for you either.

Should you run out of possible upgrades with only ones left that you don't meet the requirements for, once a week it will be checked if things have changed and the requirements have been met, and should that be the case the next upgrade begins.

To conclude:

Use this mod if you don't want to ever forget about upgrading your agency!

The mod should be compatible with any mod that doesn't modify agency upgrades and even if it should one day be out of date with the main game, it shouldn't need any changes or updates unless PDX messes with agencies.

If you'd like to integrate this for your own mod, feel free to do so, just please credit Fight For The Fatherland, specifically TheGamerCant (who made the thing so awesome) and me, Marcille Thorez (who had the idea and made the first draft that just did random upgrades).

Submods:

Unfortunately, this mod was designed to work with vanilla and vanilla only. If you want to be able to use this alongside a mod that changes the agency in any way, you'll have to download one of our submods:
