What does the strange number behind the rob-project mean?

For example:

rob: researcher (0/1/1)
rob: explorer (1/1/2)

and, even more strange, an exlamation mark

rob: Bandit boss (1!/2/1)

so if in logs my defense strength shows 600 i am safe (theoretically) from missile strikes?
I builded 1 oc-radar and a flak tower and am at 600. I found out, the armored vault gives defense as well.

About the training, this does not answer my question, what this "+-button" does. Estimated training? I do not think so, because, again, only TU and HP change if i press it

Thank you.

I have another question.
Recently i bould some Dojos, and after a few days the stats start increasing, yay!
One thing i do not understand: On the page, where i can assign my gals to training, there are their stats. In the upper right is a button with a + on it, when i press it, the stats change, but only TUs and HPs. Nothing more. Some increase, some decrease.
What does this mean?

Thank you!
Yeah, i have 4 bases now, and they are already full, and my research progress is at 12% :-D

I am still roaming around with a puny blowfish, they shot down my starting airvan and still can`t get better craft. I 2 interceptors are piranhas with 25mm cannons, and i am in februar 2602.

Thank you!
Until yesterday i did not fear much any attack, every hideout has at least 20 dogs and 20 peasants. Then a research told me about missile strikes, so every hideout got a flak tower.  I still haven't researched  flak cannon. I did not want to give up the chokepoint in my primary base, by building to much facilities, but if you tell me, that you have 2 flak towers and one cannon, i think i need 4 flak towers per hideout (bye bye, money... ).

How many defense strength do you have with your setup?

Little question:
How many flak towers do i need to build per hideout to be 100% safe from inclming attacks, if even possible?

Can someone point me in the direction, where the openxcom settings-file is stored?
So i can make a safe-copy. This happens once in a while, and everytime i have to set the screen settings, shortcuts ecc.

thank you for the info!

So it would be better to keep it until researchable?
Because loosing it in battle would mean, that it is lost, right?

XPiratez / Question about an armor

« on: July 29, 2020, 10:56:47 pm »

Hey:
Recently i researched something, i "think" contacts: smugglers, but i am not 100% sure. Anyways, afterwards the screen popped up with all the new stuff i could buy. Not knowing what what is i bought 1 piece of everything new.
And there it was, the plate mail, a fantastic armour,  finally i have a chance againts the mercenaries.

BUT: i can neither research it ( i know, i do not have all dependencies) AND i can't buy some more? Wtf?
Are there items, that can be bought only once??

Help / openxcom resetted and safegame corrupted

« on: July 21, 2020, 01:14:32 pm »

Hey.
I play xpiratez, but i think this is an general-openxcom-problem.

Today, all of a sudden, openXcom was resetted, as if i had it newly installed. I had to re-select xpiratez and set all my videosettings and controls as well.

As i wanted to play, my safegame was not in the load list, even when the folder was insert correctly.
I opened the savegame with notepad and saw, that it was corruped.

Luckily i had a security copy of it, i just lost some in game days.

Is this a known issue?
Can it be prevented from happening again?

Thank you

Well, this was a stupid question i suppose...

Anyway, somewhere in the game i must have taken a wrong turn, i am still with one base and there seems to go on very much shit outside of my knowledge.

Time to expand (and throw away lots of dollaros)!

Yeah, it was the defeatScore.

I just leave the topic here, in case some other poor guy has the same question.
