I've come across several items that can be worn, and they each have a certain 'gear slot' they belong to, but i cant figure out where those slots would be. Am i missing some tech to enable those slots or..?

I guess you mean shawls and such. Just put it in inventory and it will work.

You don't need any other craft for space, becouse Kraken is multi-purpose:
Underwater: Check
Mansion: Check
Space: Check
Layout: Great layout to defend yourself from inside. Only one ground entrenance that is protected from 3 sides by craft itself. Exit on "first" level and doors inside keep anything melee based away from your gals.
Capacity: Decent. 8 gals, no 2x2 units.
And what's best: You can get it regardless of choosed Codex.

What's the point of Expeditions?

If you are playing "honor/supermutant" you can roll a bad mission that will kill all of your gals. In that case Airbus don't return to your base and without expedition and early in tech it would be gameover without a "transport craft". Expeditions can also take mission underwater so it's a good thing to use it before being able to afford Aircar and some weapon to shoot down civilian traffic.

(it is a BIG question, not a little1 -

 - how (and if even) i can get, /trigger, /obtain that ..special game mission *Siberia Base - if i quit, (abort) from there, from that mission, when i got this mission for very first time, - and from that time, it didnt and doesnt "spawn, pop-up for me no more..

so, - how i could trigger, show-up that Siberia Mission AGAIN? ?!

(what files and lines i need to edit, and how,
what changes)

It should respawn itself untill your brainers will research special item that can be obtained only there (Briefcase if I remember correctly)

Barrel bombs truly shine on missions from Jack where you have to defend fort against Deep Ones. One barrel on each side and you pretty much won already.

I guess it's not like that, so whole country linked it to something, but some "kind" of people in general. In Poland word "Holocaust" changed meaning in "casual" language to slaughter of Jews and only that. Everyone I speaked with about that topic was "angry" when "Holocaust" was used when describing anything besides World War II and mass murder of Jews.

But this isn't a topic, or even forum to talk about that. There is no conspiracy, nobody is favoured, or secretly frowned upon. It's about "cool" post apocaliptic earth with alien overlords, how humans live in this world and how our band of Ubers that escaped imprisonment will deal with it.
At this point I'm only waiting for cyborgs on both sides just to place X-Piratez higher in "coolness" than C&C tiberium sun/firestorm universe.

Check the imagine of Muton's autopsy and it's description. They have special "skin" grafted to their body and on the imagine you can see it's left eye and area around it is light-blue - Original skin of Mutons.

Mutons are the only humanoid alien that can't close their eyes. They also lack "cheek" bones of Ethernals. Also they lack nose, unlike Ethernals.

Mutons from intro are more detailed and more differences can be seen.

They might originate from the same species with Ethernals discovering their Psychic potential and enslaving lesser brothers.

The thought was, that the Pogrom semantics lead us mostly to the anti-jewish insurrections throughout the history. That could be sensitive.

I wouldn't go that far. Only Humanists conduct pogroms for their ideology. Mercs, Spartans and Bandits do it for money and Star Gods do it to punish our band of Pirate Gals for their deeds. Everyone do it for target pratice becouse they ecounter little to no ressistance without our help.

Every race besides Mutons looks fairly diffrent from humans. Mutons have "perfect" proportions and shape of a human. Feets looks just like ours, hands also (three fingers, but well... "Aliens"), just like insides (without cybernetics). Only their face looks very diffrent. I have two theories that in my opinion fits best:

Mutons are abducted humans "mutated" (As their name can hint "Muton" = "Mutated") with some alien gene and then with purple skin grafted on them and green suit on top of that.

Second (and more probably) theory is that Mutons are mutated Cydonians, race that inhabited Mars, but lost with Ethernals.

Well I was thinking, if:

Snakeman + human = lamia
Sectoid + human = bugeye
Muton + human = brute

Then:

Chryssalid + human = uber? (chryssalids are fast strong and containhellerium in their bodies, unlike other aliens)

I remember someone (maybe Dioxine) said something about mutons not being a species, but a form of "mutation" of their own, to make organism stronger, but stupider. Mercenaries and MegaPol Apemans as example.

Uber is "just" created by giving a human body ability to process h/ellerium. Academy experiments and stuff. Ubers are just "better" humans, faster, stronger, better psi/voodoo potential, smarter, thougher etc.
Chryssalid looks too diffrent from humans, or Ubers to make it possible and "belivelable".

It was a very heavy protective gear (150 "weight" units) that halved piercing, laser and plasma damage. Pretty usefull on cars and tanks, but could be overused by normal gals, becouse TU penalty applies only after starting turn with additional weight.

This is pretty accurate, expand "Vessel Environment Matrix". Few might be missing and few might be changed, but overall... Most is right.

Not strictly a gameplay newbe question, but mechanics and engine newbe"
I thought about concept of raising "floor" level on nearly each map so that the ground level would be destructable that would allow to create shell-pits and foxholes with explosives and tools like powersaw, or pickaxe.

Is it possible?

Is there a good way to clear those mines in Bank heist?

Auto-Ax is enough to roll trough those Safe walls. Get two-three and you can break there very fast from the outside.

Kill, capture and enslave humans and mutants that have diffrent opinion? > I sleep
Cats added to the mission where zombies might kill them? > Real s*it!

I will argue more, but later.
