The X-Com Files / Advice on speeding things along?

« on: October 02, 2022, 05:11:27 am »

Blah, whenever I sit down to play this mod I find myself spending hours on crop circles and other minor missions that are way below my group's skill level. I'm aware that I could ignore them, but I get paranoid about my score and usually need the experience as my campaigns turn into meat grinders. I was wondering how other people dealt with them. Kind of hard to get to the late game when you are chasing down beetle #38 somewhere in a jungle.

The X-Com Files / Any special requirements to make gauss weapons?

So I managed to find and research a few gauss weapons, however they don't show up in the manufacturing list. Are there any special requirements for making things like that - I checked to see if there was an advanced version of the workshop but didn't see anything.

The X-Com Files / How do you manage missions with special requirements?

« on: July 09, 2022, 07:49:45 am »

I'm just curious about other people's strategies in relation to things like the undercover, underwater, and the other weird missions. Whenever I set aside dedicated space for concealable equipment, hazmat stuff, and other specialty gear I end up feeling like I'm wasting time and money. Do you guys keep bases specifically set up for specialty missions? Do you just sell off a transport temporarily to grab a van? Or do you just ignore those missions in favour of the non-specialty missions? If you have any advice, I'd love to hear it.
