BlackObsidian Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 After researching laser weapons I went into the workshop screen and added a couple of each laser weapon to the manufacture queue, but only allocated my technicians to the top two projects. After exciting to the geoscape I immediately got popup messages saying several projects had been suspended due to insufficient funds (even though I had about $10mil in the bank). Went back into the workshop screen, noticed I now had no money, used the 'm' key to top back up to $10+ million, exited again and saw the money drain away in a flash. When I went back into the workshop and either added a single technician to each project or deleted the unresourced ones from the queue, the problem went away. Weird!

Amiga4ever Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 When we can research laser weapon? After Plasma pistol and rifle I still can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackObsidian Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 You also need Alenium, which unlocks UFO power source (once you capture one), which then unlocks laser weaponry. Its basically the end of the tech tree in the current build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amiga4ever Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks. One more question - can we use plasma weapons after research? I didnt see any in equip window just still human weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackObsidian Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nope not the alien ones - I think eventually they are meant to be usable on the battlefield in emergencies (with big accuracy, etc penalties) but not routinely equipped by your soldiers or kept in base armouries. There may be a later human version to be researched, but not in the alpha build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I've manufactured many item (laser weapons, plasma weapons, wolf armor) but they didn't zeroed my money. Can you tell me please what item did you manufactured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackObsidian Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 As original post: two of each of the laser weapon types as they became available plus about a dozen of the laser cells. I also had 10 units of wolf armour part manufactured. I switched some of the techs from the wolf armour to manufacture the two precision lasers but left all the other projects with no techs assigned. The popups back on the geoscape that gave the 'suspend due to lack of funding' only appeared for the projects with no techs assigned (one for each project in immediate succession), which is why I went back and deleted the ones without any technicians assigned. I'll see if I can recreate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackObsidian Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Right - recreated it. Load the attached save (saved immediately after laser weapons project has completed) and do the following: 1. Go to workshop screen and start building 2x precision laser, 2x laser rifle, 2x laser carbine and 15x laser cell (in that order without allocating any techs away from the wolf armour manufacturing between starting each); 2. Reduce the number of technicians working on wolf armour to 20; 3. Allocate those 19 techs all to the 2x precision laser project; 4. Exit to geoscape and watch the cash vanish and the pop-ups appear. If you try to use 'm' on the geoscape the pop-ups reappear instantly. If you go into base view and use 'm' to increase cash reserves to $20mil+ then exit you can see the rate it disappears. 2012-01-25_20.10.06.zip 2012-01-25_20.10.06.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggarius Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 It seems to be related to having manufacturing with no technicians working on the project. I ran into this issue myself, though I had utilized a different method than pressing 'm' to get monies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thank you for the save game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 With you reprosteps I could reproduce it myself. It's crashes for me lol. Next patch will fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
