The X-Com Files / Re: Alien Electronics: Bug or Change of Tech Pace In Updates?
« on: April 22, 2025, 09:49:21 pm »
Yeah my doubt was coming from not looting or salvaging electronics yet. I've already assaulted the Cyberweb Fortress, dismantled numerous (large) alien drones and turrets, taken medium UFOs intact, and now I'm just interrogating alien leaders & engineers over and over without unlocking the research. I got Alien Electronics way before this point on my 3.3 game so I wasn't sure if this was a bug or a deliberate change. Thanks for the answers and advice.

The X-Com Files / Alien Electronics: Bug or Change of Tech Pace In Updates?
« on: April 22, 2025, 08:34:57 am »
I've been playing a 3.5 game since last year, it's September 1999 and I have yet to capture any Alien Electronics to do the research. I've knocked over dozens of UFOs, a few Hybrid embassies, and captured nearly all (space) alien species & subtypes Leader and below. Successfully rescued David Vincent. I just updated to 3.7.2 in case there was an issue but I've captured half a dozen more UFOs since then, including an Abductor and a Lab, still nada.

I'm doing fine with captured alien weapons and manufactured gear but my tech progression is plateauing, am I researching ahead of the curve? Something wrong with my campaign, just bad RNG? I've also been starved for MiB missions, captured a few scientists & executors (and ships) but they've basically disappeared since hybrids started showing up; I haven't even unlocked the Smartrifle in this playthrough. My last game was on 3.3 in 2024, has the pacing changed significantly since then? I could be missing something silly too.

Cheers, thanks for reading.
