Modding-Struggling to find specific Methods/Classes in Assembly.dll

[Senteliks]

I know we will get the official Mod Editor tool eventually, but given that we theoretically have everything we need with Milestone 7 to mod the game via Harmony I decided to jump right in.

I’m creating a mod to eliminate/bypass some of the campaign elements I don't find enjoyable. Specifically, I’ve been trying to figure out how to remove or skip the initial ATLAS Mission base that triggers after the entry of  Cleaner's in in-game database (codex) .

So far, I've been unable to track down the exact class or method in Assembly-CSharp.dll responsible for triggering this event on the strategic layer. ((I have only been using Rider up to this point, hence my search being a bit limited, though I am looking into using dnSpy/ILSpy now).

Does anyone know which manager class handles the storyline progression flags or campaign mission generation for the Cleaners/ATLAS path? Just looking for a pointer on where to hook my Harmony Prefix/Postfix so I can prevent the mission from spawning (or auto-complete it).

Quick update, I have figured out with a help from one Discord member. For anyone curios, Game progression is in Templates not Assembly 

edit: But I would still advise against modding it over templates because you risk override mess and the file that is affected is gigantic piece of Json schema- meaning torture), so I would go down the line of doing code patch (Artias ECS)- hooking into Timeline system for anything that is related to timeline events and what you would want desired outcome to be
