[V18.1 - Geoscape] - Aliens have stopped showing up

[Emily_F]

After destroying the alien beacon base in Iceland, I haven't had any more UFOs. For, like, 8 months. But I can't get rid of the panic so I ended up losing because I ran out of ways to make the panic go down (because of the orbital bombardment). It was nice to have a bit of a break to get my interceptors back up to strength and to get rid of some soldier stress, but you end up losing by default

Thanks for the Info Emily_F. When the Alien-Base-Event showed up?

Yeah, there is a point at which the aliens stop spawning because the timeline runs out of aliens, but there's battleships regularly spawning at that point and it's like 8-12 months in. What date did the aliens stop spawning for you?

I'm fairly sure it was in August, straight after I destroyed the second alien base that housed the signal beacon. I'd had a few battleships show up before that and then nothing afterwards.

The save you sent over was in September / October which is where the timeline runs out, and you've basically played through all the different types of UFOs at that point. I'll add a few more waves that are a bit more battleship heavy in the next version (not the next hotfix) so you can play a bit longer if you want though.

I have hit the wall too, Just as I was getting my interceptors to the point where I might be able to shoot down a Battleship.

Is it possible to manually edit the save information to reset the date back so they start spawning again?

Emily_F,

I had this issue in v18.2 (legacy beta) as well.
