MisterLock Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 So since I got no clear answer from browsing the forum...I decided to make a small thread asking this plain question. How do I find alien bases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 That sort of is bugged right now. It's way too hard and complicated, but it can be done. I think using some combination of moving the mouse cursor on the geoscape and using intense air patrols you can find them. There is a write up somewhere on these forums about the process. Try a search or maybe someone can describe the process in these thread. Obviously, I haven't tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I just irradiated some envelopes. Wrote "To the Big Alien Head Cheese" on them and popped them in the post. A week later and you're tracking those babies from orbit. Nothing beats the postal system for tracking people down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svidangel Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Any time a craft flies over an alien base, seems it will be immediately discovered. Any time I see my ticker start to go down, I hover the mouse over every continent to find which one specifically is ticker-ing down. Then, I start sending craft in lines along the longest axis I can find for the continent and scan it down. Love foxtrots for this due to their high speed. The intercept tab is right next to the build new base, use that. As a bonus, if you have a good idea when the craft will get the low fuel warning, have it go to a spot where returning to base will take it over fresh ground.

Challenger-X2 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I found one last night and they slaughtered my guys... It was insane in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepMachine Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I found one last night and they slaughtered my guys... It was insane in there! Couldn't agree more with this. I got my ass handed to me. Although a few deaths was before i realized that the aliens were shooting at the walls, even though they couldn't see me, which made me make some bad choices. Also, i hadn't discovered how to use flares (because i avoid night missions like the plague). I suppose i can use those in bases too?

Sathra Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yep. If you have Alenium grenades they won't be automatically shown, so just right-click on the grenade quickslot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterLock Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 So isn't there a project in the tech tree that allows you to discover them auto?In a previous version in later month(youtube) I saw that in guys let's plays those things were popping up like rabbits. And the problem is....That I suspect the base is in North America...Practicly I have 1 more month to get them back on my side or they are leaving the project(becuase Immense funding drop).So the problem is I started making a base there one month before and i didn't have enough money to build everything...I just have 2 hangar,living quarters,workshop and a storeroom being built.I haven't bhought a Charlie in that base yet becuase I'm afraid to go below milion. So I guess America is going down...Especially if Don't know how to find the supossed base in there... Also does destroying a base give massive funding increase?For like getting ride of pesky aliens on the ground?Because I can see me trying destroy it if it gives you funding increase.(obviously with save scumming,This is my first time playing a serious game since the demo) P.S:I forgot to say I had 2 radars.

MisterLock Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well...It the 12th of november and after a corvvte flew around in america doing some event( 2 )...conform the forecast change america is gonna drop it's remaining funding in the next month...So if I can't make the base fully operational and get some UFO contact over America then i'm screwed...(with america...I mean...Europe I'm doing great...I don't know why but in every playthrough i had Russia always seems to love me...)
