Is there any info about vulnerabilities and resistances of alien races (just like You gave earlier in this post about Mutons and Snakemen)?That stuff can be found in the AwesomeGuns.rul file

I am baffled by your bafflement, I believe my post was very clear. Clearly it's not.
Because it is bad design.
I don't mind people hacking saves or making cheat modes, it's their life and their entertainment. There are ways to draw fun from this. But as a developer of a mod meant for other people I can't do this stuff, because it's unprofessional.
Also please consider that there are many players who will do anything within their rights to win; anything that is not specifically forbidden is fair game to them. Then they come and complain that the game is too easy (or worse - brag how unstoppable they are). What am I supposed to do, make the game impossibly hard to give these people a challenge and make it hell for everyone else? Nah. But if I let them be, other players will feel like suckers, because their soldiers will be weaker, their bases will be smaller, etc. So leaving such exploits actually promotes playing dirty and ruthless micromanaging, which is a very bad thing in itself.
I would like to add that there were long discussions on the Piratez Discord channel regarding what to do about it, with no good solution. So the degrading mechanics was indeed unviable for balance reasons.Why do you care? It's a single player game if I want to abuse by editing all my stats to 255 (made for a really boring game- and its the first & last time i did that), let them. For the rest of us who prefer to rp a bit this looked like a really nice feature.
As a modder, I actually breathed with relief when this element was removed, and I think Dioxine did too.
The with Base Attack missions from the Aliens is, they need to find your base first.Yeah I think it was like that in vanilla. With that said, I seem to remember having multiple base defense missions playing vanilla xcom even during a single campaign. Yet after multiple campaigns roughly 2 years of play since i discovered openxcom not a single base defense mission- and I am playing on the highest difficulty.
Once they do, they will send in a crew to attack you, usually the crew of a battleship.
So yes they do work.
i finally managed to get OBS running properly.Nice.
I made a recording of a groundbattle, maybe worth a watch: https://youtu.be/Ybbmzqz0UVU
