Another thing I've noticed that maybe isn't a bug but can be mildly inconvenient. I've spawned a couple of times on a map with what I think is a bush underneath the ramp that prevents the outrunner from getting out of the osprey. I tried changing the position of the outrunner before deployment but that doesn't seem to do anything. I tried shooting at it but the ramp blocks all of the shots. I tried throwing incendiaries to no avail. I wasn't able to try dynamite but that seems like a good way to blow up equipment/the outrunner itself and would have taken foreknowledge of said impassible foliage.

Side note: I was able to still complete the mission as the cultists lined up one by one in front of the outrunner, it just took a few dozen turns or so.

Hey, not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something obvious, but I just unlocked rocket drones and they seem to be overburdened by default. Wanted to take my new toy to the Dagon HQ and it's just sitting there on my pile of equipment. ::)

Yes, it's a bug. I fixed it some time ago.

I found a ladder that doesn't seem to work.  It also has a wet sound when I have an agent step on it.

Same situation.

It's normal, vehicles have their limitations.
I don't understand the issue though: if it's a bush, then it dies to pretty much anything...

Thanks for the reply. The only issue in that instance was being unable to get to the bush itself. I've tried messing around in the save I posted and there is no way (that I can see) to get the vehicle out from that position.

Like I said, destroying the bush should be trivial, including using the vehicle's own weapon. But perhaps I'm missing something here.

Ok, so the bush is directly underneath the ramp preventing any movement on the tile above it. I could not get the outrunner to shoot through the ramp or magically bend bullets to go around it. That's pretty much it. I've noticed a new option for custom deployments which should make this irrelevant anyways.

So, just downloaded the latest versions of X-COM Files and X-COM Files Arsenal Addtions. Currently experiencing the following issues.

Wait, an object under the ramp? Should be impossible, unless it's a ground tile...\
I'll keep an eye on this, thank you.

Can't speak for Arsenal Additions.

STR_ADVENT_AGENT_ARMOR and STR_ADVENT_SOLDIER_ARMOR do not exist. So not on my side.

Crap, this file really is missing... Attaching it here, to be placed under ROUTES. Sorry!

Hi, first time posting. I love your work and have been intermittently playing through the mod for a couple of years now. Thankyou so much!
I've recently (since updating from a six month old build) been encountering a crash every time I shoot down any "STR_ADVENT" craft or try to attack it when it lands. And after updating earlier this week and again today, and still encountering the crash, I decided to ask for help. Any fix or anything would be greatly appreciated! Otherwise I may just end up ignoring advent for a while haha.

I've attached a savegame and the log file for reference.

Thankyou in advance!

Hello, and thank you!
Your report is confusing, since there is not STR_ADVENT in the entire mod... It was removed in 1.8, so almost a year ago, and you shouldn't be seeing these missions and ships.
The best way to fix this is to ignore any Advent vessels until the end of the month and hope that the mission list is updated correctly. If this doesn't help (usually when there's an Advent base or embassy), let me know.

I will do that. From memory I may have tried updating six months ago, encountered the bug and then not played since; so perhaps I've not practically had an update since 1.8. Also from memory there were a few embassies established that I couldn't yet clear out, so perhaps that was the reason or a contributing factor.
In any case I shall follow your advice and ignore in hope it will resolve itself. If not I shall indeed let you know.
Again, thank you!

So I've proceeded to the subsequent month (with the prior month being full of Advent craft) and simulated a month in advance. I am pleased to tell you there have been no Advent vessel sightings. However, I have discovered an "ALIEN COLONY-1" in Japan which, judging by a swarm of Advent vessels in East Asia last month, was put there while they were still active and I was unable to respond without crashing the game.
It is also the case that whenever I click directly on the colony, or when I send a vessel there, the game crashes citing a segmentation fault.
I've included attachments of a savegame and a game log for each mode of crash.

At this point I am happy to continue my game without any action, and simply ignore this colony provided its not going to cause me too much grief, but I thought I would leave a report anyway.

Thankyou!

EDIT: So on my actual playthrough, ten days into the new month I've discovered the colony has spawned in an Advent craft. So that is happening.

Something wrong with hybrid embassy:

Possible solution:
STR_HYBRID_EMBASSY_ASSAULT_ -> STR_HYBRID_EMBASSY_
STR_HYBRID_BASE_ASSAULT_BRIEFING -> STR_HYBRID_EMBASSY_ASSAULT_BRIEFING
