Title: Invisible region
Post by: Nord on January 30, 2022, 05:16:59 pm

I'm using special region to spawn special mission. All works fine, mission spawns in a random point inside needed area.
But this custom region shows in "Alien activity graph", and that bothers me and can misguide player.
So, can i somehow "hide" region? Or maybe i should use another way to spawn mission?

Change the score generated by the mission to zero.

You can (and should) leave "region areas" empty... then it will not show in the graphs.

For mission spawning, you only need the "mission zone areas".
For example like TFTD artifact sites... they also have their own invisible region.
