The guy on the right seat (I assume passenger's seat) could get out of the bushes with some effort in a diagonal, but the driver was completely stuck in place, inmobile. Strange Life Signs, first mission in a new campaign.

The Driver License is not destroyed after research. This allows researching it until all combat analyses are complete from the same object.

The missions with ~50 spiders/ scorpions/ Tier 1 zombies and the like are a bit tedious. You either can't clear the landing zone and leave or have to do a 30 min boring mission. Maybe a smaller map with fewer enemies will be better for these.

I don’t know why, but on the mission of David Vincent’s cover, I have cultists, not M.I.B. And yet, despite the description, agents can be evacuated from the mission.

May or may not be an error, but the Janissary has takes 0% WARP damage and 100% E-115 damage, are they inverted?

Also, on the mission pop-up for the Osiron Hidden Warehouse Assault, Warehouse is written incorrectly as Warehause.

Should Dog Barking apply stun damage? Because I accidentally made a farmer pass out from all the woofing.

I seem to be unable to move facilities in base using Ctrl-click (200k cost).

This one is a veeeery minor case of "bad taste": On a new game, the starting PUBLIC CAR comes pre-equipped with three glocks, out of the starting four (it was four, right?) total.

Is it a common thing to have a backup loaded glock in the belt?

That's perfectly normal and intended. :)

Good point. Fixed.

You make it sound like this was the default setting, and smaller missions didn't exist... Whereas in reality such big missions are maybe 5-10% of all alien life form encounters, and the rest is way smaller. So it's not a very fair complaint. :P

I don’t know why, but on the mission of David Vincent’s cover, I have cultists, not M.I.B. And yet, despite the description, agents can be evacuated from the mission.

Okay, this is seriously weird. Which cultists?
Has anyone else had this effect? I can't see anything wrong with the code.

OK, I will notify Finnik. But first, can you confirm what happened? Did you destroy a tile?

May or may not be an error, but the Janissary has takes 0% WARP damage and 100% E-115 damage, are they inverted?

Not exactly inverted, but indeed one resistance was missing, misplacing some values. Thanks.

Also, on the mission pop-up for the Osiron Hidden Warehouse Assault, Warehouse is written incorrectly as Warehause.

Thanks, fixed already.

It's a weak effect, but it's there.

Thankfully, this cheat was removed by Meridian. It was never meant to be anything else.

Maybe not common, but certainly justified. Many players do that, it's OK.

Didn't meant to say that is the default. But I get 2-3 a month and they are a chore, especially if they show up one after another. This is the only thing that annoys me after a month of playing. That is a record on my account. :)

I greatly enjoy your mod. Looking it as if it is a TV show is very thematic. I named my two starting agents Mulder and Scully and Mulder has become a beast. The Scully role had to go through several "actresses" though.  ;)

About the "Crop Circles" / "Cattle Mutilation" missions. Shouldn't these be covert ops, like the "League Apprehension". Even with the *redacted* and *redacted* surprises it feels a bit excessive to send a military transport with soldiers in full combat gear just to arrest 4 civilians.

Glad you're having fun. :D

It makes sense... But it's also kind of evil. :P


EDIT: Found and killed the crash on the Hybrid Clinic.

Is it possible to add extra squares of the exit grid without increasing passenger capacity? It would make such situations less likely. (I thought I suggested this a week ago, but I can't find my post. If you answered this earlier, ignore it.)

The text for unarmoured rat Ufopaedia entry does not fit the screen, the last line "unassuming enough to be easily overlooked." is below the screen edge.

Dude, it's behind your task bar. Use a fullscreen mode or something.

The giant spiders do not yield Energetic Blood Plasma like the rest of the creatures. I am not sure if this is by design or a bug.

The Tank/Rocket Launcher Repair manufacture is titled Tank/Tritanium Rocket Launcher Repair.
