A thread for little questions

Does a ratman base invasion happen every time you kill a ratman lieutenant?

[Delian]

No, missions (a base assault being one of them) are determined at the beginning of each month.

With the destroy farm bounty mission, how much of the farm do you actually have to destroy?

[Delian]

Only the red-colored walls of a red-colored building matter.

Sorry for spamming the thread, but new stuff keeps coming up.

What are the odds a mission gets turned into a zombie version? I've downed 3 freighters and each one has been a zombie one.

[Delian]

Race is determined when a mission is generated. Depends on the mission, but let's say 5-10% or so for zombies. This means all the shipping generated by this one mission (yes, one mission can have multiple waves of shipping), will have the same race.

I remember in an older version of xpiratez there was advice to hang onto all the smelly rags you get, is this still the case? They're clogging up my main base but if they're essential I don't want to do something stupid.

Those are required to recruit Freak Gals.

If you don't have any but have a Freak Gal in your prison, there is a small chance of an event firing that will give you one.

You don't need to keep more than 1-2 on hand, they take up a ton of storage space.

If you need more necropirates drop them.

[Carcer]

yeah I had 40 of them.

How bad is it to have a nation leave?

I know there are researches dependent on it, so I assume its expected.

You might (or might not) feel the monthly funding hit, but I'm pretty sure you can still get the country's research topics (and Contacts: ** if applicable) if the country has pulled out of the monthly reviews. Patrol a craft over that country for a few geoscape ticks, there's probably a ninja base (several ninja bases?) in the country.
As always, you're not getting a Game Over until you're score-negative and/or cash-negative for two consecutive months.
