No Meridian, there is a problem. Set the UFO attack distance to less than 8 and set the killer hunter mode. UFO is approaching only 8 km. Specially checked.

This has never worked.
Distance (cautious, normal and aggressive) depends on xcom weapons, not on alien weapons.

Why are you showing me a video where it doesn't work?
I know it doesn't work.
I told you it has never worked.

If you think it has worked before and now it doesn't work, I need a video where it was still working.
(then I can explain to you what is the difference)

Attached there is an explanation what happens in all cases I can think of.

Maybe I was wrong. Or forgot. Excuse me. It is a pity that such a strange restriction exists. Maybe in the future will be fixed.

Sure, we can change it.
I just need to know how exactly.
Attached is a new proposal (3rd table)... is this OK? Or does it need more changes?

A minimum distance of 1 km is enough. :)

STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION_DETAILS_PREQ in en-US.yml is mistyped as STR_ALIEN_INFILTRATION_DETAILS_PRERQ and the game crashes when researching Alien Neural Network because it can't find the image.

Being able to send expeditions is a nice touch, taken/plundered from Piratez, although expensive. However, I'm not sure if it's implemented yet, but the Ufopaedia's entry of Expeditions to Shogg and Dimension X are incomplete. Moreover, you can send expeditions to Shogg in the debug mode, but it doesn't do anything. Is that a bug?

It's something you can ignore and delete, it doesn't belong there.

Great mod.

I found a Spikedboar trapped in a corner in a very weird labyrinthine farm map.

It doesn't look like a normal settlement to me.

Solarius, did you remove Bedouines from American deserts? Looks like you've missed Argentina — I saw a Bedouine Warrior there. See "bedouine-argentina.sav".



Update: This particular Hunter has no inventory picture, see "Invisible Hunter.sav".

Thanks, fixed.

I can't recall anything like that in Piratez (batting cave hunts), but glad it works.

Of course they're incomplete. Whether it is a bug, depends how you managed to even learn of their existence.

Yeah, it can happen. But as long as it's not a big unit in a room with only small doors, it doesn't qualify as a bug, merely an unusual occurrence.

And thanks for the praise :)

I'm bad with global coordinates. I'll check in a moment and see what's wrong.

No female hunter ever had a paperdoll. They haven't been made yet.
