The_Mess

Sweet, glad to hear it was straightforward. On modding - shouldn't be an issue as long as the archive file is able to be read and modified by 7zip/winRAR per games like Sword of the Stars 1 or sufficient documentation is provided for the community to build a suitable archive tool, such as with Egosoft's X games.

I'm still learning the ropes of air combat (to kill off heavy fighters) so I haven't yet been able to get far enough to expand to more than 2 bases (so. damn. expensive.). Might end up modding the ticker though so heavy fighters don't spawn until I have a chance to get better weapon systems. @Armadillo - part of that ties into the XCOM game story, which isn't revealed until the end missions with the Etheral's exposition bits, particularly surrounding the squadie you send into the Gollop Chamber

Also steam does the whole checking of files vis updating on their servers to build up a list of files to update and push to users. Rather than verify the install for each update

The potential work around for the terror mission CTD/hang is to save every turn, though I've only got to try this once

It's random actually with the light scouts, I was having minor damaged light scouts provide no alloy on about half the missions, and some of the heavily damaged ones providing alloy on some missions. Though the larger scouts are giving plenty of alloy.

Any chance this can be increased (or anyone knows how to mod it...)? I've seen a few land but usually they're to far away to send a chinook to hit them on the ground in terms of the time frame it takes to travel there.

Noticed this yesterday, but I'm still getting it I still get the Alienium post mission, but for some reason, there's no alloy at all from the crashed UFO missions. I suspect it might be a stuff up from unpacking the standalone after I moved the archive file though. Anyhow, if anyone knows what file governs the alloy amount per UFO, that would be great because then I can hunt for it and see if it's missing or the file is missing a line.

Thanks for the workaround!

For some reason I'm getting a repeatable crash trying to buy a hunter at my North America Base. Can't attach the bloody save though Suspect it could be from using a 16.1 save.

You can't go from an autosave/in-mission save on the farm map, it'll still crash due to how the saves work.

Hi, finally got a terror mission within range to deal with, but I've so far had the game become non-accessible, but not frozen during hidden movement, with autosaves from start and finish crashing xenonauts, and on the second take, non accessible at the start of my 4th turn. If it fails again I'll upload the autosaves.
