Do medkit type items like x-grog and vodka still grant bravery xp for treating fatal wounds? I've just recently got rum production going and I'm wondering if I could use it to replace my basic bandage items.
I think the description of the Escape Tower mission should be improved a bit. I found it extremely confusing the first time I played it because there was an aircar with locked doors and no way to get in. In hindsight the obvious answer is that you need to break into the aircar using demolition tools. But that wasn't adequately conveyed by the mission briefing or the mission itself.
For instance the mission briefing says the mage is "holed up" inside his escape vehicle, I thought nothing of this sentence, certainly not that it was trying to tell me how to finish the mission. The description for the prepper base mission also uses the phrase "holed up in" and you don't need cutting equipment to get in there. In fact, this is the first time in ANY X-Com or X-Com modded game, including XPiratez itself, that I have ever required cutting tools in order to complete a mission at all.
So I think you should add a line to the mission briefing that spells out the need to break into the aircar through some means like high explosives. I used a fusion torch but I'm pretty sure there are other tools that would work.
Id absolutely be able to but im not exactly sure how color blindness works or what people see when they're looking at a color they don't pick up on. For example I have the reverse of color blindness when it comes to Ultraviolet - I can immediately tell if im looking at UV even though humans aren't supposed to be able to see it.
edit - one problem I just noticed thinking about it is our monitors and tvs do not actually have saturated Yellow color. So I probably couldn't actually do it. If someone can't see Red or Green then all they're supposedly going to see on the screen is a bluish grayscale image which may be more bluish if the other channels are diminished. Although its a trick of the eye and our brain we see good yellow and gold and brown tones due to mixing colors that doesn't work on someone who can't see red/green because the yellow is not authentic.
If I made a palette with yellow and blue colors I think they would then honestly just see an even more blue shifted palette than usual. The reason why they see bluish colored everything on tvs and monitors by the way is they see brightness where the red/green is but no color at all, but blue is a component of pixel brightness, so its always there except in predominantly red/orange/brown/yellow/green tones and saturated versions of them (less saturated more greyish versions have Blue so would appear bluish).
Someone who cannot see Yellow or Blue will see the red and green and thus have more color available to them. But this is the rarer color blindness type unless ive got it backwards. For them most things will have a muddy brown kinda look I think except for colors that are explicitly red or green... blue lends brightness only and maybe not too much of it. The color they see is probably hellish looking.

That is not reliable. For example Fortuna has a gear pile in separated compartment that no soldier stands in.
Where is the excess gear (not equipped) dropped in a Shadowbat? I can't see the pile on the map. Could really use those extra incendiaries I packed as its a sudden zombie mission!

I’ve been playing this for seven years. No way am I restarting. Gotta be a way to finish this one way or another.
