How do I make Rookie recruitment more frequent?

Heyo.
I wanted to increase the amount of rookies I get, without increasing the amount of rebels I get.
I found the following lines of code in XComLW_Outposts.ini:
"; Recruiting outcome weights. When a new recruit is generated, a roll is made and tested against the sum of these values.
RECRUIT_REBEL_BAR=67
RECRUIT_SOLDIER_BAR=33"
This is not what I want since it trades Rebel spawn rate for Rookie spawn rate and I can't seem to find an elegant way of doing it without also changing rebel recruitment rate.
You guys got any suggestions?

You'd need to increase this in XComLW_Outposts.ini to make the Recruit job more efficient overall:
[Recruit LWRebelJobTemplate]
IncomePerRebel=3
and then rebalance the weights you pointed to so the rebel recruit rate stays unchanged.
However, I don't have good numbers to suggest for you; unless TrackTwo drops by with some advice you may need to do some trial and error.

Alright so vanilla settings are:
"[Recruit LWRebelJobTemplate]
IncomePerRebel=3
; Recruiting outcome weights. When a new recruit is generated, a roll is made and tested against the sum of these values.
RECRUIT_REBEL_BAR=67
RECRUIT_SOLDIER_BAR=33"
Which means 2 income goes towards rebels and 1 income goes towards rookie per rebel set to Recruit.
So to double the amount of rookies I get and keep rebel spawn rate the same I'd go for something like:
IncomePerRebel=4
RECRUIT_REBEL_BAR=50
RECRUIT_SOLDIER_BAR=50
Now 2 income goes towards rebels and 2 income goes towards rookies, right?

Not exactly how it works, but it works out towards the same conclusion.
The "BAR"s are odds of a recruit that has been generated by the income becoming a soldier or a rebel. On a large enough number of hires, sure, they look the same.

How would you mod this feature into the game?
