Jh316 Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Every time I end the first turn of an island terror site, the game crashes. Is there anywhere else to find Calcinites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneLapin Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I never ever found a Calcinite.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmarox Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 Any aquatoid terror site should do.....I normally end up getting one from a port raid, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 Alrighty, thanks. Also, got another problem...I researched a deep one corpse, have 41 Aqua Plastics in stock, and it said that aqua plastics is availble for research...When I go to the research menu, it isn't there. First time this has happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 yeah, I've got 3 magnetic navigations, but can't research it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 you need to research a deep one corpse, then you can research aqua plastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 ...As I said, if you would read the first line, I researched a deep one corpse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Veteran Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Look in FAQs. This question has been asked many many times! It must be in there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Ah. Well, I've heard about a lot of research tree glitches, but never this one. May as well look. By the way...Um..Where are the FAQs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 Go to the XTC forums overview and look in the engineering section. Under support you should find frequently asked questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I figured that, but there's a slight problem... there's no topics in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I've had similar problems before too. Sometimes it even happens in engineering. I manage to get the tech researched, but my engineers can't build the item since it's not listed. It's definitely a glitch.  Have you got a savegame prior to researching the deep-one corpse? Try going back there and research it again. Or maybe send it to one of us so we can have a look at it.  Can you remember everything you researched prior to the deep-one? If possible, in the same order you researched them? At the very least, the most recent research topics? If there's anything that'll prevent you from getting plastic aqua armour, I'd really like to know what it is.  Is your TFTD the original dos version? If it is, have you patched it with the v2 update? It helps.   - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Okay, I tried a save from right before I researched it, same result. The most recent topics I could think of was I partially researched a live deep one, but then switched to a corpse to get aqua plastics a bit sooner. I have the collector's edition. Also, can't send it to anyone, as I accidently saved over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I figured that, but there's a slight problem... there's no topics in it. thats because this is the new forum... check out the old forums... a shrine of ancient knowledge they are.

Tammy Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Are they fixed today? TJ and I couldn't get there last time we tried. I'll go and check. *goes and checks* Nope, the link is dead still. Pete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 21, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 Yeah, I tried to go there the first day I decided to visit the site again. The old forums were a storehouse of knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Veteran Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Apparently the old server shut down so it took the boards with it... Bummer but hey. JFish, wherever you are! You're good at this sort of thing, could you perhaps make some kind of research tree for TFTD and stick it in research? I know someone made us a great one before but the knowledge gained through XCom is lost forever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jh316 Posted October 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Heh, I can always just restart, like I did. It's not like I was far into it. I'm just curious as to how it happened, so I cna make sure it doesn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 i got a question. On a shipping route terror mission, do I have to kill all the aliens in the first part or do i just have to make it to the exit area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Photon Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 IIRC there are no exit areas in shipping route missions... but if there are then it's not necessary to kill them all... but I would do it anyway, it's fun to kick some more alien **** ...

usmarox Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 There are no exit areas on stage 1 of a shipping lane terror site, so yes, you'll have to kill them all to get into the bowels of the ship. There *is* an exit area on the second part, but you only use it if you want to bug out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
