New Xenonauts 2 Mods This Week
OP Armor and Fuel Pod
Your airplanes are useful, if fragile creatures in Xenonauts 2, so why pass up the opportunity to beef up their armor and fuel levels?
This mod increases airplane armor from 20 to 50 at max tier 4 and also increases fuel pods capacity, so you can send the planes on longer journeys easily. Plus, they come with 0 payload weight capacity, so you can stuff your planes with more useful alien-blasting goodies.
This was modded on the 1.0 release of the game.

Better Supporter Intelligence
It’s the little things that help you turn the tables against the brutal alien threat, but it’s always nice to get more of those little things.
If you don’t feel like Xenonauts 2 gives you enough daily OP points from its supporter intelligence via the strategic map, this mod boosts the point count so you can get up to 60 OP points per day.
