Wasn't there an option to have a border in the minimap in battelsacpe? Cannot find it anymore.

Thanks this works! But wasn't there a way to activate the permanently?

Excess OXCE options have been trimmed out. But d/w there is no functionality loss.

Hello everyone!
Did statistical bullet saving get removed from the mod? And if yes, is there any way I can add it back?
It annoys me immensely that I fire a single bullet from 50 and I lose the whole clip.

Make sure to research primitive weapons (bows/melee summaries) and a wrench. You can get a wrench (usualy) from guild warehouses, civilian flying trucks and miner ships (which tend to land near your base), among other missions (I think communication towers tend to have them).

The first 5 or 6 times I used a parrot, when he got shot, he squawked, fell to the ground, and showed up as "dead parrot" if I checked inventory on that spot.  No death or unconscious message, and after the fight ended, he came back, good as new.  I assumed this was what the Bootypedia meant when it said auxiliaries are ready to fight again no matter how injured they were.  Now I get a death message, points off for losing an aux. and no more parrot for next time.  Which of these is the intended behavior, and any idea why it changed?  No screenshots or anything, because now I can't replicate the immortal parrot behavior.  I didn't update the game or anything in between.

Parrots were never immortal as far as I know.

I found out about readding statistical bullet saving, I still don't understand why it had to be removed.

It made some weapons such as the BFG too good.

Honestly BFG is a bit too good being non arcing baby nuke that doesn’t waste a whole turn reloading, perhaps it could be rarer to get or locked behind a difficult mission like the nuclear lasers.

[Dioxine]

I think BFG is very rare...

I had storage full of UAC plasmas and two BFGs before end of year one. Highest difficulty obviously increases the odds of these weapons spawning as more baddies spawn, so it might not be an issue on lower difficulties.

[JustTheDude/CABSHEP]

I did few runs in the game and I never got BFG. Broken batteries, of course, but not BFG itself. It's rare enough on sane levels.
