Title: Terramite conversion
Post by: DarthTheIII on March 06, 2025, 02:28:51 am

In the current version of xcom files Terramite has very little purpose.  You can research 1 to get M.A.G.M.A power suits, but the rest can be autosold.  Would it make sense to add a manufacuring process to convert terramite into alien alloys?  It would give terramite a use, and allow for more liberal construction of things like tritanium ammo, which are very limited early.

It's already a subtype of alien alloys, so I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to convert it over, especially if the endgoal is to turn it into a bullet.

I don't think a simple conversion can be justified without a full-fledged tritanium production line, which invalidates the need to do so in the first place.

But I agree that terramite has very little use as of now. I should add more stuff made from it.

Anything works really, it just needs some kind of use.

I added a melee weapon.

Something more involved may appear later.
