[TFTD] [Expansion] TWoTS+ Release (v.2.61)

[Amoebka]

What, if I just keep the settings the supply ships. Why should it be less then?

I worded it poorly. If you keep the setting at 50, you will have the same number of supply runs as there are now, but since you removed the infiltrations, you will get 2 times less missions from colonies overall. If you change it to 100, the total number of missions will be the same as before (and the same as in vanilla TFTD), but they will all be supply runs instead of 50% supply 50% infiltrations.

Perfectly! I will change this.

Few more things:
-few missing strings
-Recycle ion cannon uses sonic cannon clip instead

Thanks, will fix.

-Heavy Ion cannon object overrides corpses objects for some reason. Corpse is there, but cannon is always shown on top.

It is normal, first item showed - is the heaviest.

And once again about overspawning of USO's:
 It was experiment, to make bases to spawn infiltrations. Yes, it needs to be balanced. And i will do some balance in next version.
Thick point in infiltrations is that they spawn new alien bases, so this become a geometric progression. But i still like the idea. I will try to upload new version today, with reworked mission balance.

@Nord:
Will the bases stop spawning infiltration missions or what was in your mind?

Version 2.15 is up.
Nothing new, only bugfixing and balancem
Changelog:
  - fixed bug with needler movement;
  - fixed bug with hazmat suit torso;
  - fixed bug with final mission research;
  - fixed bug with ion rifle disassembly;
  - changed alien infiltrations. They will spawn rarely, use smaller crafts and finish faster. Please try and provide feedback. Remember: if last craft is landed, infiltration counts as succeded.
  - changed alien key research. Now you can produce new one, if the first one was lost;
 - some more unnamed bugfixes.

@Nord: About the infiltration.
Could you please tell, how the values have been changed? For I corrected the .rul, so that alien bases don`t spawn infiltrations at all.

[Amoebka]

how the values have been changed?

Now it's 80% supply runs, 20% infiltrations. The overall frequency is also down to 4%/day from 6%/day. Basically, infiltrations from bases spawn 3.75 times less often in this version compared to the previous one.

What are the prerequisites for the barracuda crash site spawning? Is it researching "church data" you get from the backstreet temple missions? For some reason I can't seem to get it in my new playthrough (2.15), what should I look for in the save file to make sure everything is working as it should?

Yes, you are right. Remember that new missions will spawn in next month after complete research. If it is not spawned, please provide save file.

Could one tell me how to use this mod in Ubuntu?

[Nord]

As always, use working ubuntu OXCE+ build and copy from this archive only folder "/user/mods/TWoTS".

[Dantalion]

Ah, it was so close 

But actually managed to fix it, it's a simple missing "STR" before TASOTHGUARD on line 5122 alienDeployments.rul
The last strange glitch I found was tasoths in tleth part 3 having thermal launchers / PWT with 0 ammo, but armed. If you unload those, the ammo is pwt disruptor (the gun itself, not the ammo for it) which is weird. Maybe it was happening in vanilla, but I can't remember. Also few of the tasoth guards were unarmed at all (not even grenades).

Anyway, mod done. Was quite a ride. 3411 total subs detected, finished on feb 2040.
Will try to compose some overall impressions later.

Thx for such an awesome mod @Nord 

[Nord]

You need to return buoy to the pen, then you will be able to sell them.
