If there is going to be a Kickstarter for the big game I would be happy to contribute. Is it going to be based on the X-Com/Xenonauts universe ? The aliens had a fleet 20 light years away so about 20 years have passed since the end of Xenonauts...or something like that ?

I build the max of 9, I try to build them in different places with every game. I wish they had included Hawaii so that we could have one in the middle of the Pacific.

Stop posting false information ?...you seriously need to check your ego at the door...

Diamond is good for drilling, not smashing into something, it is very hard, not strong, if you had a blade with a diamond tip the first time you tried to stab something as hard as carbon steel the diamond would break...

I think that the one thing that everybody is missing is that if the Reapers have claws/talons/fangs that are that much stronger than the strongest armor then maybe the aliens would have started making their armor out of the same material...or maybe the Xenonauts should...you should be able to make a Reaper armor suit after you kill a few of them...just a thought...

Got it, thank you very much...

I was sure that I saw a place that you can change the capacity of the Living Quarters, Labs and Workshops but now I can't find it...any ideas ?...thank you...

The game is out and it totally kicks ass...you guys actually did it...it's time to start ignoring the whiners and trolls...I just hope that it was profitable enough to warrant a sequel...maybe the aliens had a colony in a solar system about 15 light years away and it took them about 20 years to get here because they had to travel at sub-light speed...the end game would be an invasion of their colony, a large alien city, battle would be both indoors and outdoors, alien terrain, 6 levels, towers to place snipers in, flying armor that you can shoot from while hovering, hover tank that can go up, drones for recon and dropping bombs...it could be epic...

The higher ranking guys still suck at throwing grenades.

How is it that world class special operations soldiers are so constantly clumsy and inaccurate with grenades ? I was in the U.S. Army for awhile and threw grenades many times and I NEVER saw anyone as incompetent with a grenade as a Xenonaut.

I don't enjoy the game at all with the way it is set up so I changed some stuff. I had my highest ranking soldier in Sentinel Armor get liquefied with one shot from a hidden alien and that was it for me. I start out with $2 billion dollars so I don't have to do without the stuff and structures that I want. I start the game with 10 bases so that the radar covers most of the world. I made the sniper rifles more accurate and good for longer distances. I made the armor and the aircraft a little better too. I have it so that the soldiers start with better stats. I love playing the game the way it is now. I still have to strategize but I don't lose soldiers the way I did when playing the game with it's original settings and I don't have to run from massive UFOs. I don't understand how anyone enjoyed playing it with the original settings, you don't have the resources you need to accomplish the mission. It didn't make any sense to me, it was like those countries were all saying WE DEMAND THAT YOU SAVE THE WORLD BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT WITH A BUDGET OF $1.98 A MONTH !!!...the world is on the brink of annihilation but you aren't willing to give adequate funding to save it ?...all of the money in the world will have no meaning once the aliens take over...

The first time I did Endgame it ended in victory before I was able to open that last door to the High Praetor. The second time around it opened and I killed the High Praetor. I haven't been able to get to the escape pods even though I destroyed the energy reactor things. The door behind the High Praetor wouldn't open, I assume that is where the escape pods are.

When your best sniper is wearing Buzzard armor and gets perched on the corner of a 4 story building...

Definitely, this game SUCKS !!!...I'm not getting my schoolwork done on time and I'm staying up 'til 2am every freakin' night !!!...THIS GAME SUCKS !!!...IT'S RUINING MY LIFE !!!...I NEED HELP !!!...

I just realized that I've been changing the files of the Kickstarter Demo. I guess that V10.2 should have been a clue. Sorry to waste your time.

I changed the "continentTickerStart" variable from 500 to 5000, when that didn't work I changed the funding modifiers for each country. I restarted my computer after all of the changes I made and started a new game. I changed the sell value of stuff in items.xml and manufacture.xml as well. Is the starting cash variable the same as the "continentTickerStart" value?

Do the maps have to be a certain size or can you make them larger ?

I've only done the most basic modding in the past, and that was very carefully following someone's instructions in just changing a variable or two. I would really like to learn how you guys are able to make real modifications to the game. I know a little bit about programming but the classes I took in college were about 15 years ago,(Visual Basic,etc). I must be doing something wrong though because I changed some variables in items.xml, manufacture.xml and gameconfig.xml to try and give myself more money to start the game and to make money while playing but the changes I made don't show up in the game. I've tried restarting my computer and I've verified that the changes were saved but no luck. I'm guessing that I am missing some basic step when it comes to modding. Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you very much...

I can't get gameconfig.xml to open, I tried using Excel and the Microsoft XML Editor but no luck. It keeps trying to open it in IE but nothing shows up. Any ideas ?

I've gone through the demo a few times so far, how do I go about getting the updated version ?...I've never bought anything through that Steam site before, just create an account, pre-order the game and then download Stable 22 or something ?...

There is no possibility of me not buying the game...I was full-blown addicted to X-Com UFO Defense back in the 90's...I fantasized for years for it to be remade for the modern PC, it was on my To-Do list if I ever won the lottery, I was going to hire a bunch of programmers to do it...I first heard about Xenonauts about 2 years ago, I've been waiting for it to progress a bit before I jumped in...I was recently explaining it to my girlfriend and she said, "Wow, you must really love that game"...I replied with, "Yes, yes I do"...I'm planning on buying a new desktop, and the biggest monitor that I can afford, when the game is released, if I would have known about the Kickstarter campaign I probably would have gone in for however much it took to get my name and face on one of the soldiers...I was living in London back when you guys were first getting started, if I would have known about it I would have shown up and offered myself up as slave labor for the cause...my brother-in-law is an IT Pro too, I would have blackmailed him into working for you guys for free...

Thank you very much...

I apologize if this has been asked a million times already but I've searched all over and I can't find a place to download the demo. Thank you.
