AdamBlackbird Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 For the ammo used by higher-tech weapons (lasers and plasma - I'm assuming that's all there is, don't correct me if I'm wrong. ) - does ammo use up alenium? In the deployment screen there's infinite ammo, but some of the xenopedia entries hint that they do. The alenium research talks about managing it carefully, and I believe the laser weaponry research says something about recharging it at the base with alenium. With the lack of tooltips anywhere (especially with production costs) it's hard to tell where all of my stocks are going. I really don't like the idea of needing to worry about running out of alenium just because I want to shoot my weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You get infinite ammo once you complete the relevant research. You only need to decide how many magazines to bring in regard to carry weight. The description is just lore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBlackbird Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thank the gods! Err, I mean, developers. This is beautiful and makes me happy. Though I have lots of alenium and not enough allien alloys. Is there a way to make your own? Or does "fabrication" just mean making stuff with it?

Probably just means the ammo packs are rechargeable...something tells me Xenonauts outsourced the work to Apple or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You cannot make your own alloys, you can just reshape them to use as materials for your own items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBlackbird Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Final question, didn't seem worth making a new thread for - After getting it such that the alien plasma clips are converted into alenium I still have a bunch sitting around. Are they used for anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Nope, just sell them. Its a nice early-game boost to income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So why aren't they sold like alien plasma guns after the mission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 *shrug* I have no idea. I've wondered it a few times too. Maybe something to do with how they get converted post mission after Alenium tech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcari Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Probably a minor oversight. After you get the alenium research, they're converted into alenium... before that, they're a seperate item for reasons unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
