SoulFilcher Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) I have this bug for a few days now where starting UFOs won't give alenium or reactors, so I can't research them and go on playing the game. Today I tried to use Steam's file verification and it said 38 files would be replaced. Then I triedto start a new game but nothing changed. I had cases where I got alenium but it wasn't sent to research, so I had it in my store room but couldn't research it. Edited July 17, 2015 by SoulFilcher Quote

Were the ufos intact? or they crushed down with power source destroyed. Did you loot power sources after GC? As i know the only alenium loot is at power sources and if ufo shot down and lost its powersource, you cant get any alenium. Quote
SoulFilcher Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 Power sources are not looted after the mission even though they are intact. It happened to one UFO that landed by itself. Quote

If your landed ufo didnt give any alenium, yep there should be a problem. It's started after 33.1? Did you play with map files and maybe you erased the ability to loot reactors? Quote
SoulFilcher Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 No changes to maps, no mods beyond the map packs, extra cars and portraits that come with CE. I don't know if it started with 33.1. Quote

Start the game with gc editor exe and go for some "landed" ufos, press G and directly finish he missions.. see what you get.. we need to be purely sure that what the problem is. Edit: Checked landing ship and carrier, they both gave me alenium. Edited July 17, 2015 by drages Quote
SoulFilcher Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 It will try that later. The issue isn't there exactly. I just finished a crashed scout mission where the power source was destroyed. I received 1 alenium and it didn't go to research. There must be something wrong with items or research. Quote
drages Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 If alienium got any priority (as i remember you need a power source research to get alenium ), you cant see directly at research. Quote
kabill Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure the Alenium tech is unlocked by the alien reactor rather than Alenium (a hang-up from when the former used to have it's own research project). That doesn't entirely solve the issue you're having but collecting Alenium itself isn't enough. Quote

As i remember every ufo or powersource got its own explode possibility (which we used it before, i dont remember exact place), so how is your 0.33 code working? Overwriting every old explode codes? Just can you explain shortly how we can handle this percentage after 0.33? Quote

Overwriting every old explode codes?Just can you explain shortly how we can handle this percentage after 0.33? All that was added was the size of the explosion and the chance of fire. The chance of the explosion itself has always been in gameconfig and sets it for all power cores. The only thing you can change in the spectres is whether something is flagged as a power core or not.
