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

Purchasing screen, why P64 ammo under different gun? May be it should be here:

Thanks, will fix.

It's not a limitation, it's a feature... otherwise it would be super easy to avoid being attacked.

Also... it's "flying submarines", if they can fly over land, why not attack over land

But I am open to suggestions if someone has a good idea...

Well, vanilla USO can not shoot their weapons in air. But aliens can use their guns... I think that WAS engine limitations of original game.
I have no good idea right now though.

Question about Naga's movement sound - is it normal when they're produce movement sound when their turn is over just for a above half second when x-com phase begins? Too long sound file may be?
And why we have no Triton on one of 2 stage ship missions? Have you change the map there? it's now too hard to play, because my team surrounded by enemies and one grenade or thermal shock just kill (stun) entire team.

Can't find option to recycle carcharodons corpses. I have an article in USOpeadia already. Am I missing something?

Squid Light Drones cannot stun mind worms or locusts, they always miss... intended?

I've managed to stun mind worms with drones. Depends on luck. I don't remember whether I stunned locusts with drones. Perhaps, I did. They can destroy a drone so one need to be careful.
I've failed to stun or mind control zombies. I wanted to stun or mind control a hellcrab or a triscene. I am not sure if it's possible. By the way, lobstermen under your control cannot use their claws for a melee combat.

Hi all! I am back from Baikal wildlands and ready to answer.

Ya, it is normal. Just move sound is a bit long.

And why we have no Triton on one of 2 stage ship missions? Have you change the map there? it's now too hard to play, because my team surrounded by enemies and one grenade or thermal shock just kill (stun) entire team.

Yes, shipping terror map has been changed. It is done because mod contain long x-com crafts, causing bugs with standart map.

Have you seen their melee skill? It is hard to punch someone with remote-controlled aquatic quadrocopter.

It is all possible, but very difficult.
Thanks, will check lobster claws.

Option to recycle carcharodons has not been added yet.

I've preferred to drop this mission as it's highly unfair towards player.

The accuracy meter on the GUI says 100%
The melee accuracy is not so bad... 40.

I have tried 30x times in a row... all 30 stun attempts were miss.
Attached a save if you want to try.

That's odd. Mindworms have no special abilities in this case. Can it be an engine bug? Because other users report the same odds with termal tazer.

Upd.:
savegame causes segmentation fault.
If it was not miss, but damage ignoring, then i can see where to look. But always miss...

loftemps: 78 is unhittable by melee... you need something more solid, for example loftemps: 3

I have no idea why do squid drone always miss in your case. May be a bug. Certainly he stunned the worms in my case. I did it under water.

It's not an engine bug.

Using loftemps: 78 means that the melee voxel check (almost) always returns "hit empty space".

There are some lucky situations with various terrain elevations, where the voxel check manages to hit something else than empty space, but they are very rare. In the most common situation, where both the mind worm and the drone are on an empty non-elevated tile, it's always a miss.

Well, one can use drones to drop sleeping gas grenades on mind worms if thermal shock grenade launcher is not researched. There is an option allowing to arm bombs when only one hand is empty.

Yes, I did that. What's your point?
