Bug: I somehow got a -7k score despite doing everything to thwart the aliens. I dont know if it was because I'm playing an older version or not but that was very weird. Lost the game instantly for that.

What do the graphs say? You claim to do everything to thwart the aliens, but are you really sure?

Such a situation is usually caused by a MiB base somewhere you can't see. Check your graphs and if you notice any weird spikes, investigate the area.



EDIT: Version 2.8e has been released.

- Fixed brain spawn on Cydonia.
- Fixed Floater's grav device color (thanks The Martian).
- Fixed Mogadishu location (thx R1dO).
- Minor fixes.

Hi Solarius Scorch!

Thank you for continuing to update this version. I'm still loving it!

I found a map error on one of the newer map tiles. The texture for a box is floating high in the air. Screenshot and savegame attached.

I see the boxes in your save, but couldn't reproduce it.

You have a number of other mods active, what is "mykmod ver: 1.0"?

Mykmod is just my personal customizations, unlikely to affect anything map-related, just a custom initial base layout and a few tweaks to soldier minimum stats.

I noticed that the floating boxes were only around the skymarshall. Could it be a conflict with that craft's extra length?

Like I said, I tested the Skymarshall on various maps and couldn't reproduce the issue. Nobody has complained about this before either, and I'm sure people would. I'm fairly sure it's something on your side.

I'm playing FMP v2.8e. Found some terrain tiles with zero moving cost (see images below). Do you need save file or something more to check?

Thanks, no save needed. I'll investigate.

EDIT: Fixed. It's a bit crude for a solution, but the player won't notice... 8)

What was the problem about? By grass images I guess tile should have heightened unusual moving cost. Did map author forget to set tile properties?

And will fixes come with next version of mod and will be the version compatible with current saves?

No, I simply changed how grass works, to make it count as ground and not as an object. But I haven't updated the terrains. So this time I did it and also fixed some jungle maps (they share a tileset).

The crudeness is about the fact that now on jungle maps, grass is still placed as an object (even though it's ground now), but the only issue I can see right now is that it is slower to move through (as two ground costs stack), but it is legit enough in a jungle.

And will fixes come with next version of mod and will be the version compatible with current saves?

It will be compatible. I release periodically. You can always get the latest "nightly" from my GitHub: https://github.com/SolariusScorch/Final-Mod-Pack

Then this grass will be indestructible unlike wheat is in wheat fields. Sometimes it's handy to clean up path with grenade(s)...

There is one more thing, which i don't know what it is (typo or feature or what), but it keeps bothering me. A noun "hold" usually means something inside ship, used for containment, not outside appearance. Hence my doubts in red ellipse on the image below.

What...? Sorry, but it sounds ridiculous. Why on Earth would I do something this absurd?

Yes, of course I meant gold, thanks.

This might be a dumb question, but how do I get alien electronics? I had 5 or so I got in the early game that all got used or sold, and now I need more for my production, but for the life of me I can't figure out where to get it. I haven't gotten any from ufos in the last few months, and I dont see it on the manufacturing screen even though I do belive I've researched it.

I believe you have to disassemble sectopods to get them
