recovering corpses for study

[assteepee]

I'm on the second or third mission or so that asks you to "Recover additional alien corpses for study". Am I supposed to carry the corpses of aliens I kill in a Xenonauts inventory for this? Because I was under the impression everything is automatically collected at the end of successful missions...I've had 2 or 3 ground operations since the "recover additional corpses" message appeared, and at the end of each one it listed all the alien corpses as destroyed.

No, you get corpses automatically for autopsies at the end of ground combat. The "recover additional corpses" mission means that it wants you to get OTHER alien corpses, meaning different types of aliens.

Ah that makes sense. Thank you!

If you're right at the beginning of the game, there are two alien species attacking at the time. Getting corpses for both unlocks an additional research project (with some very useful payoffs)
