[19.3 geos] Flashbang grenades allow to research allien analisys before biology

[RawCode]

Flashbang grenades allow to stun allien units, this allow to research allien analisys before researching allien biology and stun weapons.

This allow to skip this research branch partially.

Flashbang have 40 stun + high suppress chance,

Stun Grenades 50 stun damage + 60% chance of stun-gas in a 3 fields circle around the explosion.

Think that is right, a flashbang should stun.

So the advantage of the stun grenades is a stronger stun effect and the gas.

By the way do not forget that it is a beta ( and the devs try to balance a lot of things ).

If you check the right xml you will see things like :

<Armour kinetic="0" energy="0" chemical="0" incendiary="0" />

for the aliens, I think that will be balanced in the future, so that stronger enemies will have some armor versus chemical stun effects.

A flashbang with 40 stun damage will be weak if the enemy will have 30 armor versus it.

No bug for me.

learn to read, stun from flashbang by design, ability to interogate and store living alliens without tech that allow it not

[Redbull102]

Oh now I understand you.

But I am not sure if it is a bug.

When I look into the buildings.xml I see a AlienInterrogationRoom

but the room is not buildable now. So I think the whole interrogation thing is in a very early state of progress.

As a workaround you can mod your researches.xml

not possible to mod this.

all alliens units must die in ground combat as long as xenonauts have no proper tech, in later build - if xenonauts have no allien interogation building.

Sneaky one

Unless you could just set the alien analysis research to have alien biology as a pre-requisite alongside the current ones.

Then you would likely not get those stun grenades until the proper steps were completed.
