How is the alloy/alenium amount gained from crashes calculated?

I've looked through all the files I could find, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Help me out?

I think that's hidden away in the .exe? I've never found it, myself.

It's set in the map sprites itself. There's a recoverable "datacore" tile for each UFO that contains the alloys for each ship, and the Alenium comes from the power core props.

I really like that idea.

I keep blowing up the datacore for the Scouts though. Or shooting it alot. Might be why I seem to get tiny amounts of alloys from Scouts.

You can't blow the datacore up. It's invulnerable and hidden in the walls.

Hmm. Then there's something else going on that results in me getting only either 3 or 0 alloys from them.

Or no power source or alenium like me...

Ok so Along these lines I have a question. I am trying to create a mod to the manufacturing system like others have done with the dismantling of alien tech items as a job for your technicians however I wanted to have it include an Alien craft Wreckage item at the end of a successful mission and have that item be based on the size. your techs would then have to dismantle the wreckage to get additional alloys and alenium to work with.

The problem I am having is I am uncertain how to make sure that item appears at the end of the mission. open to suggestions please
