Scanning Sites Plus Two

Description
A remake of Grimy's Scanning Sites Plus.

Causes more POIs to spawn, and those POIs have a chance (default: always) to spawn a mission instead of just handing you the reward.
Has both global and per-POI config modifiers to scan duration and mission chance.

Config arrays for creating new reward missions, so you're not limited to the hardcoded list in the original.
Difficulty modifiers and Dark Event counter chances are configurable for each reward mission.

Custom Mission Sources associate every mission spawned this way to one of the resistance factions. additionally, they have a chance (default: always) to spawn with a sitrep. There is exclusion lists for each of the mission sources to block sitreps that you don't want to see on any of that type of mission.
I've added in XPack mission types, as well as some from a couple mods to the default config, so there's more variety there than if you were using the original. also, VIP-type rewards use VIP-type missions, none of that looting a box to get a scientist anymore.

With fatigue in WOTC, the exp changes in the original are unnecessary, so they're not present in this one.
However, you'll likely need a larger than normal barracks in order to keep up with the increased number of missions.

Re: Rekuirements:
the default configuration assumes that they are present. It's possible to alter the config so that they're unnecessary, but that would also mean diminishing the variety of POIs you can get.

Re: More Scanning Sites WOTC
Both mods listen to the same thing and spawn more POIs, but only one really functions at a time. It's better to just pick one instead of making them compete with each other.

Is there a way to stop the game from giving me Chosen Assault missions after scanning POIs in the config?

LWOTC is working fine. But don't let a mission expire while you are infiltrating a squad, if the mission gets cancelled, you will lose the squad.

This mod is spawning Repel the Chosen Assault missions after scanning POIs. I haven't configured it to do so. Why would this happen?

I'm going to leave my comment there, just for context, but I did more testing and it's not this mod causing that issue. It seems to happen whenever I start a new campaign without first resetting the xcom config folder. But resetting it means I get the regular world map, with or without this mod.

Normally, I have like 6+ raider faction bases scattered across the map, and I start in a random location around the world, and at a random resistance base. Using this mod, I get only the Marauder base, always start in Asia, and (so far) always at the Templar base; and it seems like that's the case in the screenshots above, too.

My guess is it's related to how this mod initially sets itself up on the strategy layer. But idk anything about that stuff so who knows.

@Mitzruti I do use Covert Infiltration.

@MItzruti I also encounter the issue that DeBlue mentioned below. When I scan a site for intel sometimes I get the mission to rescue survivors in an area controlled by the lost. When I rescue the VIP and the two soldiers they are not added to XCOM. I only get the original intel from the scan. Is this intended?

In my campaign, when flying to the majority (like 9/10) missions the avenger goes to the the place but then moves again to said place. Basically i says "moving to mexico" and then it moves again "moving to the mexicon regional tract" or whatever she says. This is not only annoying but it uses up time which in the worst case causes a mission to expire

I think those are excluded POI types *this mod* can spawn as extra POI's
