I don't think that's necessarily a bug.  It probably falls under the exploit category.  Me personally I'd rather blow up the barn and get the tokens along with the infamy but whatever floats your boat.

I'd say it's neither a bug nor an exploit. The veggies are part of the 'new' farm terrains (not specific to the barn mission) and have given infamy for the last couple of versions. If it was a bug, Dioxine would have fixed it by now. I guess you can call it a 'farming mission'. ;)

I have added these intentionally with non-zero effort. The score was unavoidable, unless I set it for 0 which I don't want to. Really, complaining about positive score? :)

Lok'Naar shadow armor looks like the belt(?) is transparent from this angle.

Fixed, thx

Well, the Conversion mission that happened in North Africa will have done more damage than the Ratmen Patrols did.

Conversions cannot happen before April 2601. If you don't have the means to generate 2k points by then, be prepared to go into negatives (if you're unlucky).

Well, if you are interested, we can set a divider to decrease the amount of items recovered from tiles for example to 25%... Less items, less points.

I considered this, but no. 1 potato should always be recovered as 1 potato, not .2 potato...

You're right - I suppose a new parameter would be required, a points divider.

What is the point in harvesting such a huge positive score from the crops, anyway? Sell it? Well give man a fish and he will be full for a day...
I suppose the new category of items gained from both interrogation and special data discs: the agriculture tips (the genetic crops modifications or else); seeding materials (the monsanto's paradigm is on the way: the second generation crops are degenerative) and some more stuff that will make sense in the terms of a positive score.

Because if an item doesn't give a score, it won't be recovered. That's how the game works.
So it must at least be 1 point apiece.

No longer the case, since introduction of the recover flag about a year ago (OXC and OXCE).

You can recover items also with recoveryPoints=0.

IT IS NOT A BUG. Is that clear enough?

It is indeed clear that it is not a bug.

I take it as an incentive for precision. The crops are easy to destroy, so you gain more points for fuifiling the real mission objectives with precision than just bombing the whole map.

As with the Red Barn mission, while you gain points for crops if you do nothing, you do not get the Goblin Zaxx tokens, which seems intended. So it is a balance between getting actually paid by Zaxx for destroying the barn and extorting the farmer to pay you for not destroying it.

An handful of bugs in 0.99J10, regardin maps:

1) assaultim a medim civil vessel (labourer one) there is a tree underneat the ship that survived the òlanding

2) in traitor at large mission there si some furniture that prevente goin into a room upstairs where usually there is an enemy,. Need to destroy the stuff to get in.

3) Valuable coins is referred as singular. Am i wrong?

In the end , not really a gug, but the second track of geoscape track 1 - which i really like - is rarely picked up

Attached quicksaves and screenies :)


edit: added point 3)

Ah reall? I never though these were imlemented!

in 0.99J10 a segmenttion fault, as always in win 10. Crash occourred when assaultin a small guil vessel

Edit: oh, in a ratmen rodeo mission it is possible that HE grenades and black powder bomb cannot destroy a door, a white dor don't know if it is a metal one so is supposed to be explosie proof, but whatever for whi wants t check out. Ive trown a few in fron of these, and even on the roof of the containers but nothing
