Another example of the FoV not updating correctly:

After researching Accelerated weapons, the topic isn't available in Xenopedia

Topic. Small issue, but makes geoscape gameplay feel needlessly clunky. Should be an easy fix.

There's an odd visual alpha issue on transparencies like edges of palm tree leafs seen below. There's like flickering bright pixels. This is also seen at least with polar spruces. I first noticed this maybe month ago and I'm pretty sure it's not been there before that. (might be wrong there though)

Not sure if it's a bug, but at least in this polar Convoy mission, there was no set up phase before the ambush like we had in the original ambush mission (desert). If this is intended, it's not a good idea as it doesn't even feel like an ambush and makes the mission feel too similar to all the other "kill everything" missions

A few quick thoughts (v2.13): Difficulty seems too easy in general (played on veteran). Cleaner nerf has had far-reaching consequences to the difficulty. Xenonaut units become too good too fast. I play without training center, and I still feel I'm constantly ahead of the curve. As I rarely lose any soldiers, they become quickly super soldiers which leads to aliens not feeling threatening enough. I suggest lowering starting stats and decrease experience gain. Units becoming too good too fast might also be that they become too equally skillful. Diminishing returns in exp gain make sure that all the units feel the pretty much the same quite fast. Rescue soldiers mission should have a second win state where you evacuate with at least one of the three soldiers. It feels odd that the mission is to rescue three soldiers, but the only win state is to clear the area. Convoy mission pre-plan phase is overpowered. Player should not know enemy positions when arranging unit starting positions. I have WAY too much alloys. As soon as I have Warden armor and accelerated weapons researched, I can build them as much as I need and want as long as I have the cash. Alloys should be much more sparse at the beginning of the game or gear should require much more of it. On my latest playthrough, I built six Warden armors, 2 accelerated shotguns, four accelerated rifles, 2 accelerated MG's, 3 accelerated pistols and 1 accelerated sniper all at once and had almost 70 alloys left. I could have built double the amount and still had surplus. Geoscape mission icons should have a visual "hovering over" state. Having a 35% survival rate on veteran with just a regular medical center is too generous. Medical center should give maybe 15% survival rate and default value with veteran should be 5% so the every fifth casualty would survive on average. Survival chance calculations seem off. With the current 35% probability it seems my survival chances are close to 50-60% Might be just a coincidence and luck, but maybe something to keep an eye on?

Also, I'm not quite sure, but this abduction mission should have been jungle and I got the docks.

Troops can oddly see certain tiles through these containers

Good idea! Quantum Array has never felt like it's worth the money, even if it cost considerably less. That kind of improvement could make it much more desireable. It could also extend all radar ranges by 10% or something.

Yeah, that tooltip might need some extra information and clarification. I know the rules, but I can see how that could be confusing for those who don't

At least armory. Can't remember if it was soldier screen too. It's been a recurring issue for ages and I get it time to time, but haven't been able to point my firger at what causes it.. Could be the costant alt-tabbing XD

Ah, thats it of course. *face palm* What about the other issue? Seems quite random, but somehow I end up having invisible portaits quite often and reloading a save doesn't fix it.

Now that the cleaner stats have been nerfed, I very rarely lose any soldiers against them. Now that the first month and a half is so easy, it makes it possible to build so experienced and strong squad that when the more competent enemies start to arrive, even they can't match my strong team and also start to also feel too easy. I could just run through the missions without much strategic thinking, which became boring quite fast. I played Commander ironman with damage numbers and health disabled. Also, didn't build a training center as I feel it's OP. Edit: not commander, but veteran.

It's great to have a good variation of mission types, but I would suggest forcing at least one of each Cleaner mission types before having any duplicates. I started a new playthrough with 2.11 today and before raiding the Cleaner HQ, I had three Cleaner VIP assassination missions, but not a single inter gather missions and no convoy missions. @Kouki BTW, check my other impressions above too, if you haven't already.

Uh oh, tried again and it broke correctly. Loading the save also fixes the visual state. Seems like the infamous bug where broken tiles do not show their visual states correctly is back once again.

This fence here, marked with yellow arrow is broken (MARS drove though it). It looks completely intact but units can walk through it.

Issuing multiple simultaneous movement orders has worked before. Now soldiers will wait until previous unit has stopped before starting to move.

Topic EDIT: more specifically in the Psionic triangulation tool tip

...and what exactly is the 'situation analysis' research? I don't even have one available.
