I can't check now, but I bet it's either the sewers or the catacombs. Both maps may require some digging.
It's a factory, I guess.
There are rails, trolleys, a big crane ...
I will have to cancel the mission, unfortunately ((
I hope that this will be further developed in the next versions, because the modification is still very cool, yes!  ;)

OK, I will check it - it sounds like something new.

Checked the save Fiskun, not new, it's just the railyard tileset being stupid. It didn't spawn with a segment with doors into the brick enclosed rail line that usually divides the map on that tileset.

Not much of a problem on other mods with access to explosives from the start or near nuff. But here in files where its promotion 2 for demo options....kinda bad.

Hmmm... I guess I'll have to remove this terrain from "Arrest the suspects". :P

Thank you for your attention to my problem!
I think it would be better if it was just my own stupidity)  :)

In this modification there are large maps, for example, 80x80?
While I come across quite a few small maps.

Yeah, most maps are 60x60, but some are bigger.

Welp, was able to bring tazers on a ski mission but no tazers ammo. Needless to say nobody was taken alive  ::)

v0.91
Today I had the misfortune to have a mission against lobstermen! "Feral Lobsterman"!
I did some research right away (autopsy corpse) !
When the search was complete, no text appeared and the UFOpedia gave nothing!  :-[

[Edit]
I think the error came from the ufopedia.rul file!
I read :
  - id: STR_LOBSTERMAN_FERAL_AUTOPSY
    type_id: 7
    section: STR_ALIEN_LIFE_FORMS
    requires:
      - STR_LOBSTERMAN_CORPSE
    image_id: UFOPEDIA_IMG_LOBSTERMAN_AUTOPSY
    text: STR_LOBSTERMAN_FERAL_AUTOPSY_UFOPEDIA
    text_width: 150
    listOrder: 16359

I think it would be better with:
    requires:
      - STR_LOBSTERMAN_FERAL_CORPSE

I'm not sure if I've run into a bug or not, but I can't seem to recruit the chief engineer.

I've already researched X-Com PAU: General Strategy, and I've got all the other staff needed to advanced to Promotion II expect for the chief engineer. The only other prerequisite the tech tree viewer lists as needed to recruit the chief engineer is Cool Alien Gadget and I already have multiple items that are prerequisites for that research topic. I haven't seen it (Cool Alien Gadget) from the list of available topics that can be researched so I guess I'm kinda stuck (it's not that much of an issue though when you equip your skilled agents with magnums , at least for awhile).

If you need more information please let me know. *Oh, I forgot to mention that the version I was using was 0.9.*

Haven't checked the save, but have you researched one of the qualifying items?
