Title: Alien containment -> "remove" <> "kill" ?? (nightly + final mod pack)
Post by: Ascadix on February 05, 2017, 03:09:58 pm
Hello,

Currently playing nightly OpenXCom + FinalModPack

When "researching" an alien, at the end the alien is turned into 1 corps in storage.

But ... when i "remove" an alien from alien containment" it simply disapear, without giving me 1 corps in storage.

Is there any global option or mod parameter to control this ?

I would like to been able to "kill" alien in containment and get 1 corps for each.


Thanks for ideas and informations.

No, there is no such option.

Just kill them in the battle.

Such an option can be added manually as a manufacturing project (producing a dead alien from a living alien). But wouldn't it clutter production lists?

Ok, thank you.

Do you think it could be a good candidate for a new entry in the wishlist ?

In vanilia, not such use, but with some mod like FMP where corps are of certain value for extraction/manufacturing ?

You mean a wishlist for the mod to include the new manufacturing projects as I described? Or a new code thing?

For the OpenXCom engine.

To me it make some sens that when you "kill" an alien to make some space in the containment, you got a corps, the alien does not simply vanish.
