arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 First of all: Hi everyone and thumbs up for the creation of this game! To my question: I noticed, that at the end of a mission, alien corpses and weapons are being looted automatically. Ammo clips however, seem to be in need of being picked up manually. Can someone please confirm, that in order to loot everything from the battlefield, I have to pick up certain items manually, by standing over the alien corpses with my soldiers? If so, to which items does this apply? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try reporting it in the bug section of the forum (after reading this thread about bug reporting process) screenshots and possible save games help. attaching files to the forum is a bit buggy so if you want to do that I suggest using dropbox or mediafire or some other filehosting site.

arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Alright, so actually, the mission de-briefing should list ammo clips aswell. Gonna try some more when I get home (after downloading 17.1) and decide afterwards, whether to take further action or not. Thx so far!

Buzzles Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Alien Plasma Cells are meant to be directly converted to Alenium from what Chris has previously said, which is why they're not showing up. It's probably because the AAR hasn't be updated to show that stuff is converted alongside the rest being kept, sold or destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 This is a bug if it's not listing them when recovered, even if they are then converted into Alenium. It should tell you how much Alenium is recovered from them, or how much they are sold for (if they are recovered before you research Alenium).

Khall Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Also you have to manually loot alien grenades to get the research for them (unlocking a new grenade), right now the game doen't register it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Alright, tried the new 17.1 build, and the debriefing screen shows 83 alenium, not stating if it was just randomly found or converted from something. I couldn't check if the aliens had any clips or nades on them, but decided to post the screen anyway -> score for secured ufo!I have to admit, that I didn't check the known bugs thread for this, but I saw someone with a negative score like this for not securing an ufo.Edit: another quick question, where do the flares in my store come from? They seem to appear randomly after missions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 So now, at the end of another mission I came into this situation: One clip in my Inventory, one on the ground. Resulting in this debriefing screen: and this store screen, after return of my Chinook: Last session I played in 16.5, I can remember picking up an alien clip, which showed up in my store afterwards. Mods can feel free to move this thread into a proper sub-forum, or merge it with existing threads, should this be bug-section relevant.

Gauddlike Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Flares are added to your inventory automatically on night missions. They should be removed at the end of missions as well but that doesn't seem to work. The clips look like they are being converted to Alenium it just doesn't explain what is happening.

arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Any explanation on the clip showing up in store in one game but not in the other? Do I have to researd alien weapons first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I didn't see any of your posts that mentioned that. Was the clip in your stores one you picked up from the ground and holding at the end of a mission? Was it before or after you researched Alenium? Did you notice the clip straight away or could it have been in your stores for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arekone Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 . I didn't see any of your posts that mentioned that.Was the clip in your stores one you picked up from the ground and holding at the end of a mission? Yes. Was it before or after you researched Alenium? Before. Did you notice the clip straight away or could it have been in your stores for a while? Not 100% sure, but I think it was there after I picked it up during a mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Any explanation on the clip showing up in store in one game but not in the other Yes. Pick up a Alien Plasma Pistol and a Cell gets put in your stores (I'm assuming the gun is removed and sold, then the ammo is just removed) I've bug reported it here a couple of weeks ago.
