A thread for little questions

Mutant Pogroms cause penalties if you're allied with the alliance even if you ditch the mission.
As long as you're not allied you can skip the mission without penalties.
If you visit the pogrom and instantly surrender you get punished regardless of alliance of not.
If your early squad is not ready to face a pogrom just don't bother with it and gear up.

Radar Coverage: Yes you can't have eyes on the entire globe but using hangar space to field radar craft costs you valuable building space.
The regions important to cover are: Europe / North America / Asia and you're best building bases with baby-hideouts to have radar cover.

These regions have the most traffic and best environments to play the early missions. South America and Africa have alot of jungle and desert tiles causing you to run missions in hot-environment.
Equipment is non-existent early on and you need every single TU to fight and heal and can't waste TUs onto using water bottles to cure stun-damage.

Where can I find a Rail Rifle and Nuclear Battery?

Where can I find a Rail Rifle and Nuclear Battery?

Rail Rifle if I remember correctly is used by Traders Guild in mid-late game where they start to fly big transport ships.

Nuclear Battery I think you can find after dismantling captured Terminators from Space Disruptions mission.

I've fought trader Gunships, Bombers, and Heavy Gunships, and I've only ever seen Gauss Weapons, not Rail Rifles.
Do Heavy Freighters have them?

[Rince Wind]

Yes

[thevideogameraptorboggle]

Yes

Two progression gates in one swing, nice.

X-Gauss and Thunderhorse, here I come.

Oi, long time listener, first time caller. I've upgraded to J15 (from J11) and started a new campaign, but I don't seem to be able to move facilities anymore with CTRL + click. Is my brain messed up, or is there a catch ?

Anyways, that's a top-shelf game (a mod of this scope becomes a game of its own right) you made there, the stuff of legends! Hats off to anyone involved with this hell of a mod (and to the lovely OpenXCom + Extended folks also).

After OXCE 5.4, moving facilities is removed. I do also think it is a shame. BTW, if I remember correctly, J16 comes with OXCE 5.4, so you should be able to do it yet.

In Piratez it is disabled on the highest difficulty, iirc. It costs $333k on the others.
Though I had trouble replacing buildings with newer ones, I couldn't build the red tower over anything. Hangar over plantation worked fine.

[Rince Wind]

Which buildings count as studies? The study itself, obviously, and the personal lab as well. Something else?
I started my game way before personal labs and never built one, so I wonder if I miss some research now, as I never built a study anywhere.

Edit: Can there be different missions behind scout gates or is it always the same with the dungeon?

Cheers, thought I was losing it! I may upgrade to J16 when I'm back.

I'm right at the end of a Red codex run, and I have no way to get a technomancer corpse. Is there a line edit to the .ru I could do so that I can at least build some Moloch armor? I tried to look for the appropriate value myself, but couldn't find the right one.

Moloch is called str_slayer_armor in the ruleset. The relevant entries for research and manufacture are in piratez.rul.

Is there max number of slave maids per base? I can't ship any to another base, it says not it enough store space ans there is about a 100 space there. WTF's wrong??
