Title: Research plasma technology
Post by: yetiisyou on January 07, 2017, 01:48:59 pm
Hi there!
I am trying openxcom the first time and I can not understand when the study will be available plasma technology?
stock has a whole range of plasma studies were only gauss.

Also available for the study of the probe and a small launcher.

Maybe there is some research tree for openxcom?

it's my version https://yadi.sk/d/aM0C5r-T37XrwC

In vanilla openxcom without mods, you can directly research the alien weapons, once you collected them.

You may find the normal vanilla research tree here: https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/Research_Trees

If you use a mod, or a big modpack it is best to ask the respective author.

Check the mod folder or take a look at this attachment: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2027.0;attach=7492
The FMP is a big mod, adds loads of weapons and plasma comes really late in the tree.

Yeah, you should be asking in the respected mod section... But since I'm here, I'll tell you that you need to capture and interrogate some alien Engineers to get their weapons. This is set up like this to force player to actually use other weapons, not just plasmas (like most players did in vanilla).

Thx for "tree"!
I see that need any alien, but dear Solarius Scorch says that research few Engineers, isn't it?

In my stock was many live others aliens, but who among the engineers needed?

Well, Engineers are the default group. Leaders and Commanders may also be helpful, but they are more rare and not guaranteed to have this sort of knowledge.

Basically to get plasma weapons you need to collect several theoretical technologies, such as Anti-Matter Containment, Particle Microacceleration and so on. Only then you will be able to crack alien weapons and even make them.
