I am not sure what month I am in. I am in the 2nd year for sure. So far, I have found 2 facility leads, both of them only had 3 pips. I am still loosing ground and may game may end in several months unless I start finding these much more rapidly.
Apparently the trick is to do missions that reward intel packages. Then there is only a small chance it will be a lead (or I have really bad luck). I am running 2 teams that only take intel package missions. Mostly they end up with useless crap, like a spot to collect some resources or new recruits.
I did install a mod that is supposed to let you assign rebels to finding a facility. This doesn’t seem to work. I have had a whole territory of guys on this for several months and the only ones I have found have been from intel packages.
It is leaving a bitter taste in my mouth. I really would like to “win” by liberating all territories, but without the ability to find facilities, this does not seem possible.
