I just downloaded the new version and started a new game and I could have sworn that there used to be 10 slots for load out presets, but now the list doesn't pop up so I only seem to have the one. Am I missing something?

Check your hotkey settings in the options.

Walls can't be crushed using fusion-torches / hammers / pickaxes?

Probably can. But it should be a normal cellar.

I find the infested cellar to be unusual in that it is two stories deep.  Maybe the owner tried to wall off the infested portion earlier and when that failed decided to call the exterminators...  Or maybe a previous owner used the walled off section to store contraband.

I don't think it is a bug; I think it is an optional/random feature of the Infested Cellar mission.

Either we call it "Mini-Story" or "Screwed by RNG".
Same can happen to the mission with the cellar full of rats/scopions/etc.
Always pack up pickaxes hammers and a single f-torch to deal with unlucky level-creation.

The f-torch should be able to melt the upper floor to drop into the lower level.

..or amybe tjhose blocked, closed part of cellar was oldest, and .."deepest",  and as such was haunted and "Zone" infested - the previous´ly owners often experienced there haunting ghost, mutanted (radiated) eeries, and creepy creatures, and various mysteriously, fringe ..events and oddy, unexplicated *Zone" - phenomenas ..

..so they closed it all, excluded the horrible area with ferro-concreted, /bricks´ed strong wall..

i definately would like such mission.. (ghaunted cellars, ghosted dungeon..)

STR_CELATID_TERRORIST_EXTRACTION requires STR_CELATID. I think that's supposed to be STR_CELATID_TERRORIST.

I thought manufacturing named blood hounds was bugged, until I found out that it needs the blood hounds that you buy from the Alliance and not the enemy blood hounds that you can capture.  The confusion comes from the fact that both kinds are called "blood hound" but are in fact separate entities.  If enemy dogs are guard dogs and player dogs are attack dogs, then I suggest renaming one of the blood hounds as well.  Something like "allied blood hound" for the player blood hound.

Did you verify it's actually not working, or just "think"? Because it looks good at first glance, and I don't remember any issues with it.

That is just nitpicking. You cannot turn enemy blood hounds into yours, so by what twisted logic you would be able to turn them into named ones?

Well, you can tame other enemies like reapers, werewolves, and gazers.

But you're right, this is nothing worth wasting time over and I apologize.

No problem, man. I'm afraid of making too much of a mess with overtly long naming...

Nope, I didn't verify. That is why I wrote I *think* it's supposed to be that string. I stumbled about it by finding "Fartbags" and "Fartbag" in the tech tree viewer, and wondered what the difference is. Then I looked in the ruleset and failed to find out how one could aquire STR_CELATID research.
I thought if I posted it, you would immediately be able to tell if it is a typo or intentional. So I should have added, ignore post if that string is intentional.
