Sorry, after reading this post I still have no idea what the problem is.

Yes, tritanium ammo is only avialable for certain weapons... Generally futuristic/specially made weapons, or those which are so general that it can be assumed to be such (magnums, shorguns). Put a tritanium ammo into an M16 and it'll explode in your hands due to the power of the charge. I can't see how that's inappropriate.

no, i mean that there are many alloy ammos that still cannot be researched, without having them as item first. (e.g. BO minigun ammo)
Like half the ammos are researchable, half are not.
would not be a problem at all, if enemies using alloy ammo would be common, but they are not...

for the m16... well don't put such a high charge into it then ;) the better penetration due harder material applies anyway. but thats besides the point. ^^

But that's not true. You only need the minigun and the tritanium ammo tech.

It applies a little, but it wouldn't cause a 33% power gain. TT ammo is harder, therefore it can take bigger charges. But the weapon must be strong enough as well.

You can send dog in cybersuit on mission in Dimension X, when the regular agent in cyber armor can't go.

Edit : For underwater missions, you can use the armor (It is showing as a allowed outfit) but you cannot send dogs in underwater.
Also, why the warning in ufopedia in Underwater Operations if dogs aren't allowed ?

Do you have ANY other mods active?

I had a similar issue except with pirates, and deactivating all other mods fixed it, still don't know why.

Found a missing entry in ufopedia (in v1.3) : STR_SHARE_ALIEN_GARDENS_TECH_UFOPEDIA.

STR_SHARE_ALIEN_GARDENS_TECH_TECH_UFOPEDIA has the expected text.

I was overzealous. Now fixed.

Hey I apply the mods and when I try to start a new game it crashes. I know absolutely nothing about coding just saying. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong on my end, not with the mod. Here's the log. Thank You!!

Nobody else has this issue, so something must be wrong with your installation. Purge everything and reinstall , that's all I can advise.

It's basically a heavy rifle, so while I agree that it's confusing, I am not convinced that it should require the machine guns licence.

New dogs seem to have worked for Santa before.

Not all dogs have pink noses, but OMG, some do. I'll make more colour variants at some point.

Indeed, thanks. Fixed it yesterday.

Bugfix release very soon (with some new extra stuff).

The bugfix patch needs some fixing, ironically enough. The Sawed-Off shotgun is missing the "shotgun" part in the name, which can cause some minor confusion, and apparently cannot be bought from the get go, it requires finding one somewhere in order to research it, despite being such a simple weapon.
Moreover, it is incorrectly placed in the bottom part of the Field Equipment section, instead of together with other shotguns and similar guns.
Lastly, the Shrapnel Rocket with alien alloys is missing a proper description, as it is displayed as STR_SHRAPNEL ROCKETS ingame.
