How to make HWP's leave recoverable corpses

[Dwarmin]

This is probably an easy one for most of you.

But, how do you make HWP's leave corpses that can be taken back to base? I want to make it possible to repair them-I have seen this can be done in other mods, but I can't figure how to get past this part.

This is what I am messing with right now, taking the light scout  from the TFTD mod. It can spawn a corpse on the battlefield I can pick up with my soldiers, but the 'wreck' never returns to base with me.

The biggest things are the recover: true on the item and giving the armor a corpseGeo definition, both of which you already have done.  The only things I think you could be missing are defining the size (in your stores) and the costSell on the corpse item - not having these could make an incomplete definition for the geoscape, which might make the item not recoverable.

Well I added size, cost sell, and listorder (Not sure about the last one but I am just looking for anything I missed) and still no luck.

Just gonna be one of those annoying things I never figure out.

Huzzah! Success!

Thanks for your help, Warboy and *checks spelling* ohartenstein! If I make this into an official mini-mod I'll give you credit.
