[TFTD] [Expansion] TWoTS+ Release (v.2.62)

[Nord]

In my current game I've got 84% of research done and approaching the end of the second year. I was wondering on 2 points. Firstly can 100% of research be achieved and secondly

Spoiler:

what is the best way to deal with freaks/hellcrabs as they seem to shrug off sonic at a whim and I've found that it takes several dpl's to take down either 1 freak or hellcrab.

100% of research can be achieve, yes.

Spoiler:

Best way to deal with shielded enemy like freaks - autofire. Multiple hits of any weapon will deal enough raw damage to the shield. About Hellcrabs - use armor piercing weapons, like piercer, sonic sniper, solitone bomb, e.t.c. Also acid will do the job well.

Offtopic, are the mindworms and locusts a reference to the Alphs Centauri series?

Of course.

And floating island mission

Of course.

If only someone would rewrite the Geoscape and make it turn base, we could start a SMAX - Xcom Hybrid  - SMAXCOM Actually when i was planning my Fantasy OpenXcom Mod (FOXY), i always dreamed of the turn-base geoscape... If only i could program

Not sure if intended or not, but HEAVY_GILLMAN_ARMOR and TASOTHGUARD_ARMOR are missing drawBubbles: true.

I think Aliens are waterbreathing, so they will not exhale bubbles.

Thanks for v2.23 !

Thanks. Those are from tyran_nick's "Moray" mod, taken without editing.
BTW, are these errors cause any problems when playing? Because i do not remember any...

[Meridian]

Not yet. But they will in the future.

Per attached there seems to be a hole or holes in the leviathan, still using v2.22 as I didn't think it was worth while upgrading when I've 89% of research done.

[luke83]

How do you generate this 3d view?

Press F10 during gameplay.
