LACC has become very powerfull now that it can fire white phosphorus rounds. Two hits form the thing ensure kill on cyberdisc.

LACC with WP-Ammo was great to begin with. Is the white phosphour another new ammo type?

[Martin]

I remember it being only incrediary and thus far less awesome. WP does damage upfront, increadiary just sets stuff on fire.

If we talk about the long-range 'sniper-rifle wanna-be - yes the gun had 3 ammo types 3 patches ago.
AP, HE and WP. I recall to use the WP rounds to break morale and enlighten the darkness. It's stated as WP and never had Incendiary.

What does mesn the wildcards * and the exclamation marks near some research topics?

[legionof1]

* marks around a topic indicate that it removes a mission type from spawning while adding one in its place. Mutant Alliance is the prime example. Pogroms that dont cost -1000 score for being ignored are removed for ones that do cost score.

! around a topic indicate adding new missions without removing anything from the pool.

Thanks. I've also researched plastasteel and small ship engine, some whispers to get "Interceptor assembly"?

Use the tech tree view. Middle mouse button on a research topic. Bottom left button lets you search the techs.

You do get lost of infamy from research, so put at least one brainer on everything of interest.

To unlock mansion missions i've to reach first "'warehouse wars" ones? And any duggestions to unlock both, please?

[Ethereal_Medic]

It's not really an answer, but you can just go into the techtree-viewer, press q and type in warehouse to get the topic and everything needed to unlock the mission.
It will spawn with the next month squeezed into the RNG for the month's missions to come.

It can spawn in the 1st week or as late as the 4th week. But it is kinda garanteed to spawn upon research for the very next month to come.

It's weird to play without the tech tree viewer but then ask questions about the tech tree. Sorta defeats the purpose, don't you think?
For !Warehouse Wars! get some culture in you and find out with whom you're sharing the planet. For !Mansion Invasions!, first find out about warehouses. Also, cunningly feret out some merchants, look at those weird databases you find all the time, and maybe find some peasants to bolster your ranks. Once you've done that, you should be able to figure out who's boss and who's not. Oh, and don't forget to look into appropiate attire to wear!

Abridged tech requirements are attached, by the way.

I'm not sure what it is (I believe it's calculated at runtime, so you might be best off editing in a downed UFO), but it's definitely not "Infamy". The internal names for these things aren't changed by mods.
