Help me git gud, question thread

I've only seen recoilless rifles used by spartan heavy weapon specialists.  They mostly spawn during progroms, but I remember seeing them on spartan raider gunships and military transports.

[Scorrpio]

You can get recoilless from Gun Almanachs.  Or you were selling them?

[KiriKaneko]

I researched all of the gun almanachs and now I havent seen any in a long time. It seems that researching one of them used up every gun almanach I had accumulated.

I always attack raiders when I see them for rare earth elements, I'll keep a lookout. Spartans too tho I only see them on progroms

What?

No, that's really silly. Where do you people get these ideas from? It's not some exotic mechanics, just your stocks.

[KiriKaneko]

I'm using an old version, it could be a bug

[Dioxine]

No. You're imagining things. This is simply not possible.

[Meridian]

You may just have exhausted all topics the almanacs can give you.
Then it wouldn't show in research.

Check the stores, if you have any almanacs there.

[KiriKaneko]

No almanacs in my stores. I've discovered that going on missions causes more to appear, so I've been starting and aborting the ones I don't want to do. Maybe eventually a crackhouse will appear, I havent seen any since year 1

[Dioxine]

Touch and go won't give you any almanachs, unless by buggy enemy capture, if he was holding onto one by some miracle. The game isn't THAT bugged.

[Meridian]

Just attach a save KiriKaneko, so we can look and explain.
What you say is not possible... you're missing something.

[KiriKaneko]

Here's my save. I've been building my fleet, touching down on missions and immediately leaving to force more to generate. Hopefully a crackhouse appears soon.

There's also spartan progrom fighter ships everywhere. I shot one down but they had gauss weapons, so I've been ignoring them and hoping they spawn a progrom but none so far. I lost some of my soldiers recently while abducting star gods, so I'm waiting for a new wave of reinforcements from my training school before I assault those bases

[Meridian]

Here's my save.

1/ You have currently no almanacs in your stores.
2/ There are still 4 topics you can learn from them.
3/ Touching down and aborting doesn't generate any almanacs for me... I tried 5 different touch downs.

[khade]

As far as I can remember of the game system, mission spawn is determined at month start, the only ones we can cause otherwise are from shooting things down.

And just because your enemy has gauss on that mission doesn't mean they will have it if you reloaded to before attacking or at other points, enemies have different types of loadouts.

[Scorrpio]

Almanachs are either dropped by the enemies or can be found lying randomly in houses on certain missions.  In order to collect all the stuff automatically, you need to win the mission.  Otherwise, you get only what you pick up and carry back to your transport.  If you touch and go, you get zero loot. 
Also, check if you have marked some things for auto-sell.

[KiriKaneko]

I know.

However, I  can only get almanacs from certain enemies or missions

There's no point in doing warehouses, blood rituals and churches because there are no gun almanachs

I need crackhouse raids for gun almanacs

But I haven't seen any in years

Touching down and then leaving a mission, seems to cause a new mission to generate quickly

Therefore, I will get a crackhouse raid faster if I touch down and leave the missions I dont want to do

I never claimed to have any gun almanachs, thats what I'm trying to get

That's why I'm touching down and leaving blood rituals, warehouse, hunting etc

Not to get gun almanacs, but to try and create a mission that has gun almanacs on it
