[1.65/X.CE V0.35.0] X-Division 1.00 Beta (1.00.11c)

[Charon]

@Sectiplave Welcome back. There will be a new patch which will turn everything upside down again, so dont become too comfortable .

[player01]

How does the morale work in this mod? On my first terror mission even Sergeants with Fox will wet their pants as soons as a Private or some random NPC dies and start passing 2-3 turns meaning i have to abort. Is this intended? Should i just hug my ship with 8 Rocketeers? (Playing on normal.)

I see, thanks. So death/vehicle death gets punished hard and i dont want too many Privates on difficult missions.

Hi, could someone explain to me how stun works? Does it have separate ''bar'' than HP? Or if I take out 70/100 HP on alien and then hit it with stunbaton for 30 stun dmg, will I stun it? 

Also is stun dmg an kinetic type? EMP is energy? I saw some weapons have small dmg, stun dmg AND emp dmg but when i hit alien only first two types are shown above.

 

Reporting some major bugs in same time. Human heavy interceptor does not have pictures in base managment tab, aircraft equipment tab and combat screen. (I just copied interceptor images and named them properly.)

Also I was unable to research extreme grenades. (In order to unlock Researches.ExtremeAlienGrenade you need weapon.AlienExtGrenade(AND)Researches.CaesantacticalcommanderInterrogation(OR)weapon.AlienExtGrenade(AND)Researches.SebilliantacticalcommanderInterrogation, but then I opened Items.xml and saw that item is called weapon.AlienExGrenade not weapon.AlienExtGrenade. I changed research.xml and delete that extra T, since you put everywhere Ex)

Alien heavy shuttle is invisible on map. Hull at least, I can see door and interior when door is opened or I am inside ofc...

Also i notice that some crashed ufo doesnt have reduced number of aliens. I have suspicions in some cases, cant really prove they do not land... but for heavy shuttle i have proof and I am 100% sure.

Thats correct. This may get updated in the next version.

There is a chance that aliens will die, its not a given. Every alien could survive the crash too and the death on crash is pretty low as of 99.4 .

That should already be the case, sitting ducks is not the way i programmed the AI, or rather drages. Give me some footage of those things happening. You can use OBS to record.

Regarding AI, i find many melee units(robodog,xenomorphs, sometimes reapers,..) go blindly for the tanks/armor, ignoring the infantry. This way they become easy prey, the tank holds the blow (well, not the Hunter certainly) and xenonauts have alien fest. 

Im sure the aliens would do more damage if they diversify the targets and/or go for the weak infantry first.

Also and unrelated, there are some DSB items for workshop that yield "+?,+?". Is it still mod pending or is it a random number what you get doing that?

The one who wrote this had no clue what quantity it produced, so he wrote +? . Will be done when someone does it.

SUPER excited to see even more progress!!

Question: pedr0's swamp & tropical tileset recommended? I see you have it activated in your mods list screenshot, but not on the Requirements list. (If you do recommend it, the latest version referenced in the forum is 1.4, and you have 1.6 installed -- where to get??)

I can't wait to fire this up... The world ain't gonna save itself!!

Hi welcome back, long no see.

You dont have to get anything, everything is in the files you downloaded, you only have to activate it.

Ahoy, I have just picked up Xenonauts after long break and am very excited to try this modpack!

One rather major issue right off the bat: are my Foxtrot Migs meant to have same advanced cost as the more futuristic Asierus?

That is indeed the case.

What's the difference between them then? The description implies both have torpedoes, but Asierus have also cannons?

Foxtrot is torpedo meaning it is mostly meant for the big UFOs while the Asierus is fighter based because it is meant for dogfight against smaller UFOs.... using the right type of fighter against a UFO gives an advantage while having the wrong class means your pretty likely to lose...

[ralph_09]

1. Hello can i ask why the new patch makes all the xenonauts jumpy?? hahahaha ... it's funny yet annoying , all or most gets panicked or something if just one xenonaut has a morale issue even though there is no psych present.... this has happened on multiple occasions..

2. Terror mission: Aliens in my FIRST terror mission are equipped like they came from tier 3 or some high tier... i know its normal to have higher tier enemies in a terror mission but i was wondering if i did something wrong because they look much more advanced than in the previous patches first terror mission.............or am i just playing dumber than before (again probably)

3. I like the new look of tactical air combat ... it looks alot better than the original xenonauts one ...

[ralph_09]

Hi is it normal that in the first terror mission there is already a wraith ( i think thats the teleporting alien?).............plus aliens are tier 3 or higher and im like the fox armor and no advance weaponry yet

[ralph_09]

Are we meant to lose 1st terror mission ?? Im playing on the latest patch with veteran difficulty......my armor weaponry and everything even tank is useless against the tier 3 caesans with wratih.......it's just impossible hahahahahaha...my armor is the first researchable one and my weapons are unupgraded yet....i have no problem with anything else....just cant get past the 1st terror mission

Is it possible to edit soldier growth rate? At capped +2 per mission those pvts will take 10 missions to grow useful. And with the attrition rate (terrormission with purple androns, heaviest vanilla drones, teleporting snipers?) that's just no feasible.

I wonder if any of the devs actually beaten the game

If you want some help, make a bug report or think that something is not the way it is supposed to be, add a full screenshots of your whole modloader and your savegame ( geoscpae only ).

Congratulations on being the first being to actually have a correct modloader . That really makes me happy. Can you give me the savegame ? Or multiple savegames, you know, the more you help me the easier you make it for me to help you.

You are not playing the official version. It means that your installation is not correct. You can try and help me by following the normal "I have a bug procedure" .

Unfortunately our time does not allow us to play much, but we have a lot of people finishing the game and sending in their endgame save data, additionally that we follow our testers as closely as looking them over the shoulder when they play. Here are some examples:

But ofcourse all of this happens with correctly set up games .
