Regarding the farmers, I'm pretty sure it costs 10k to get rid of a live one too.  Shouldn't that cost less?

Also update on that Mib base bug.  I don't know if you tried, but I waited a day and it worked.  Maybe it's another map generation problem?

I can see it in my Purchase screen.  Is it not supposed to be there?

Why would it be needed?

Maybe to specify that it is a covert insertion at a small cafe and not a vehicle with an acronym name.  I know I didn't realize what it was until I read one of your posts.

Also, I have another crash.  It's on a ground assault of a very large craft.

I assumed all jumpsuits were meant to be allowed.  The jumpsuits are still thin compared to kevlar, so I figured they were the most advanced 'civilian' armor.  So where are these certain maps that are meant to have the alt-colors?  I haven't run into anything that required jumpsuits yet.

Also, are MiB Demomen meant to carry Blaster Launchers?  It seems rather excessive compared to their other equipment.

When going to the EXALT HQ I found that the default jumpsuit gets removed but the alternate color jumpsuits are are allowed.  In the save the first four agents have various jumpsuits so you can see what gets through.

How are you meant to access the cannons?  I researched the light cannon and contacted M.A.G.M.A but I only have the option to buy more light cannons and no ammunition.

That sounds useful.  Thanks

Is there any need for an HQ after labs are available or is it safe for me to replace it?

Two more.  The first is minor, just another missing text for the durathread factory briefing.  The second is that I installed a large radar in two of my bases but the radar outline isn't showing for my original base.  I haven't had any UFOs yet, so I'm worried about whether it's not working or just a visual bug.

I just researched 'Durathread Factory Location' and got this.  Is the actual text not in yet?  Is this just unlocking a new mission or is there something else I need to know?

Are your surrender mechanics different from Piratez?  Twice I've had battles against EXALT where the first guy woke up but he didn't surrender after I took down the second.

Since all craft that you build require life support systems now (ALIEN_FOOD), I would like to ask where one is supposed to get them?

I know they are also in Frigates, supply ships and enemy bases.  I think shrine ships and battleships too.  You can also build them yourself, but I forget how late the tech for that is.  It looks like building ships might take more time than before.

I've got a crash on my first mission.  The error pop-up says the map failed to fully generate.

Edit:  I waited a day and it worked.

Same about the aircar.  Though I got lucky and met a few reticulans soon after.

Each codex unlocks 2 voodoo schools, and, soon to come, one of 4 Bonaventura Hulls, and 3 buyable ships (eventually; only Scorpion and Turtle are already in).

Does that mean the Turtle is only for certain codices?  I remember seeing the research pretty early before but it hasn't shown up in my current game yet.

edit:  I got the grey codex.

Have you tried power maces?  I remember those working.

I did also capture a few with psi, but as you realized its a pretty tough option.
