Divisible by Zero Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 In several of my playthroughs i've gone a VERY long time before getting my first UFO landing. Is this random or time gated? Am i just feeling impatient because i know i NEED them. it almost makes me want to just let the ufo's fly around un-intercepted because I want one to land. Maybe instead of requiring a landed UFO you could add a damaged component that could be reverse engineered if you recover a set number of them for the same effect?

Alienkiller Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) The UFOs are secondary at the Game-Start. You will see them soon enough, with Probes etc. which make automated Recovery-Crash-Sites after shoot down. You have in the first Gamepart enough to do with the Cleaners and Alien-Special-Missions and holding your existing Specialists alive. Later on you get enough UFOs, Alien Outposts and Alien-Bases to shoot down and recover. Short said: Be happy to go stressless in the Game instead fighting an 2-Front-War you can´t win.

Divisible by Zero Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 I think you missed the part about LANDING. I had shot down dozens of UFO's but you need a specific item for research that you only get from a LANDED ufo. That said i managed to get one on day 31 in this game so...i just don't know ...i was at day 180 in one game, and past 90 in several others before i encountered a landing.

Alienkiller Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 The Item wasn´t announced. Then it´s clear what you mean. Sometimes you have luck and get such an Landing-Site. But there is no Date or whatever, just the 50:50 Change to get such an Landing-Site. Such Landing-Sites will get with Oberservers or similar UFOs, which build up an Alien-Outpost or do something similar. With smaller UFOs or War-UFOs that´s mostly not the Case.

Divisible by Zero Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Turns out it doesn't actually matter anymore. Alien Electronics now apparently comes from Observer class ships either shot down or landed. That's what i get for using out of date strats.
