Thanks! Indeed it was a map script error. Fixed now.

I hope to release a new version very soon; hoping for more translations being finished before that.

I noticed some inconsistencies in the naming of Robosphere and Roboturret.

In the Sell Items screen they start with "Cyberweb":


However their UFOPaedia titles don't start with "Cyberweb":


I think the mismatch is what breaks the middle-click functionality (i.e. when you middle-click the items in the first screen, the respective UFOpaedia articles do not come up).

Also the Combat Analysis entries for them are similarly inconsistent.

Note I'm on a slightly older version of the mod so apologies if this has already been addressed!

It should say 'capturing live specimen', not 'capturing life specimen', in this research report.

Yeah, there are such issues, because the Cyberweb unit and the Cyberweb race are not the same thing. It's like Sectoid Soldier vs. Sectoid.

I'm not sure how to organize it better.

It should say 'capturing live specimen', not 'capturing life specimen', in this research report.

Oops. Thank you.

I've found another place where the English is a little 'wrong'.  Not game-breaking of course, just a weird way to put it.

In the 'wrecked alien light plasma turret' description it says 'relies of external source.'  A better phrase would be 'relies on an external power source'.

That would make the power source appear twice. :) But you're right, there's a typo - should be on, not of.

How about:
"There is no power source, as the turret relies on external power."
?

Currently it's a bit of a contradiction, it's first stating there's no power supply (or source) but then states it uses an external one.

"With no power source found on the turret, it relies on an external power supply." is my suggestion.

In Russian localization 'Wrecked Alenhed' in called 'Разибтый ксенодроид', it should be 'разбитый'.

I researched the purchase of an mg3 machine gun. Now I can buy it. But without bullets. There are no cartridges for it in the purchase lists.

It needs 7.62x51 NATO Ammo. It seems that it's only unlocked by m-60, but not by mg-3

I think there is an extra '0' in the manufacture of Dart ammo (both Pistol and Rifle).

Where manufacture of most clips takes tens of Engineer-Hours per clip (40 for UAC Rifle Tritanium Clip), manufacture of Dart clips takes hundreds of hours. Dart Rifle Stun clip takes 420 Engineer-Hours. Electric Clip takes 500 EH. Dart Pisotl Stun clip is 360 EH, Dart Pistol Electric Clip is 400.

No, I think it's correct. Dart ammo is complicated and expensive to make.
