A thread for little questions

[Ethereal_Medic]

True. Alot of Facilities don't mention that they grant working space (like the large vault).
Just tiny details nothing gamebreaking and easy to adapt yourself.

There has to be.  Having a mission every single day would be quite draining for both the gals and probably the player too.

Man of little faith, this is handled by proper weighing mission chances and culling outdated mission types. There is no hard limit on how many can spawn, though. Besides getting swamped forces you to make descisions, no?

[Ethereal_Medic]

Once upon a time there was "not enough early missions - game too hard and punishing ayaya" and now we complain because we drown in them from time to time?
How about we just praise dioxine for offering missions TO CHOOSE FROM instead?

Imagine this mod is balanced like the x-com remakes? Ace every mission or game over.

One of the biggest mental shifts this mod requires is not chasing every single mission/tech/etc.  There are times that no matter how tempting the prize you are better off just leaving it alone.  And it's probably my favorite feature of the mod.

After I switch off a weapon in a dogfight is there a way to switch it on outside of combat (to reload ammo) other then unequipping and re-equipping the weapon?

[Ethereal_Medic]

Ship ammo only reloads in the hideout.
There's no way to reload/swap weapons in midair.

Do you mean once your craft is back at the base?  I've never experienced reloading problems due to switching weapons off in combat.  Are you sure your base has enough ammo to reload the weapon?  Also, reloading ammo occurs last after damage repair and refueling.  Even if I have to buy more ammo or manufacture more ammo, my crafts automatically finish loading when the ammo arrives or is manufactured.

No. I meant in the hideout. I have enough ammo (I can reload the weapon fully after unequip/equip cycle). In the craft menu it shows up as greyed out (same as in combat) and with an asterisk * symbol before the weapon name. I believed it was an intended feature (to save ammo on multi-shot-per-clip weapons).
It is most prominently visible on my flame cannon which I use sparingly - 1 shot to soften the target and cannon(s) to finish up. If I disable it in combat and do not switch it on before the fight end, it will not reload in the hideout. Same happens to missile launchers.

Ah that is a feature I'm not familiar with added to the extended version on 5/19/19 per the changelog:  " - User option to remember disabled craft weapons after dogfight (+no rearm)"  I assume there is a toggle for that in the options menu.

Hi, ppl, I've been away for quite long.

So, logical, I got some Qs regarding the new one, the latest one.
1. Is the new deal worth it? (A: RATATATATAT!!! YEEES IT IT!! ME: OKOK, TYVM 4 yer polite answer.)
2. Can someone pls provide links to download and readme?
3. Are old saves compatible?
4. What are the KOOLest feats?
5. Does SB have a rum?

Respect,
Alex

[Ethereal_Medic]

1) Yes
2) Download down until things between modders are sorted out
3) Yes
4) Freshness is cool new idea / also all the titles now offer very minor stat boosts
5) No, only JS deserves one

[…] I thought it was only on Nexus.

There are openxcom mods on nexus? (Also: what are you talking about?)

You need to find the Red Mage who's totally not this anime girl from this anime series.  Try delving into Voodoo research.
