Forgot to mention that consumables in the game are super nice, all of them, and it's guarentee damage that most of the time will be 100% accuracy throw, unlike all of your non-sniper weapons, good luck hitting low% hits, or risking shotgun users in front lines (and still missing or not fully killing alien with shotgun). Guarentee damage > RNG bullshit
Oh boy... That loot system... All Xcom games use static selling values (and even countries approaching you in Enemy Unknown for specific items they would buy at high cost, which is a good and fun mechanic). But here ? Yeah, we can put that on the account of Early Access and the devs shouting "hey, price reduction is a thing and we'll balance that later", but they should not have implemented it like that without a fair warning when you're selling. I'd be thrilled to see a system where you see green numbers on most wanted items with a raise in value and orange/red numbers for low market value, taking into account what you sold before. Maybe those red numbers could raise again after some time. That would be fun. But there's absolutely no fun in the way it is now. I would have kept the static prices and implemented a fun economy system later on in development.
I have been watching lets play of this game for a long time, and I just learned so many things no one ever mentioned. Killing textures is a variable that will fundamentally change how I see the game going forward. Keep up the good work.
niiice! good to hear you learned new stuff! Also, it should be obvious, but MARS is really good at destroying textures with it's body. Just be careful not to overextend yourself, it's easy to lose those 250k$ things.
one tip you didnt mention was how instead of getting to a mission in your dropship, and it being a "night" mission, how you can "loiter" above the area by "patrolling the area" until the sun comes up, and it becomes a day mission.. of course, if you think its about to disappear, you gotta take your chances, but most of the time it works.. And a day mission compared to a night mission is a big deal as far as getting one shotted..
@TorNis7 I mean that the game can't be beaten if it's incomplete. You did have an interesting perspective, and I hope some of your points result in improvements to the game. My whole reason for looking for tips was because I met werewolf like aliens early on and they would heal all the damage done to them even when grenades and shots were all used on the same alien from the whole squad. Your guide is excellent for people who have never played this type of game.
@@jerrebrasfield4231 I can only guess but I feel like this could be due to outdated weapon tier. You can also check my Season 2 full run to see how I dealt with all enemy types.
In the xcom enemy unknown i can use the hand-to-hand grenade toss tactic. Its a tactic that a soldier toss a grenade from unsuitable position but have enough TU to prime and throw the grenade to other soldier that dont have enough TU to prime the thing but just enough to pickup and throw it to the enemy position. Sadly, i dont think that tactic cant be applied in this game..
Because I talked with dev and know what is and what isnt and what is his vision on mechanics? 1st is clearly an obvious exploit, 2nd is intended mechanic to prevent "min-maxing" every single UFO crash for loot and encourage using "collect bounty" option. Which is like I said, quite weird and controvertial mechanic. You do get usually more money and most importantly alien alloys/alienium after each UFO crash and even if dev wanted to counter "min-maxers", what about Extra inventory strategy? Isn't that a min-maxing, and not only that, but it literally costs you extra time to setup and spend on Turn 1 to drop items.
@@TorNis7 Vision and exploits are vision and exploits. If I understand corectly the vision is to make the first one be more valuable. I would prefer an age of empure 2 trading, the more you trade the less value ypu gain, and it regenerates a little. As for equipment. Original X-com had the option to take equipment woth you. Just do that.
@@testprime4248 hopefully more people will suggest that in official discord server, because so far, dev kinda ignored the ship cargo, which is weird since this game is so inspired for original X-com.

I think that price reduction system has already been applied in xcom apocalypse, if im not mistaken.

Deploying Position: You can adjust the direction your soldiers' are facing by right-clicking on them on the dropship screen.
yep, this video was posted before this was patched!

Awesome! Thanks for making this video!
Amazing that you finished the game before the end game was finished
you mean my guide and tips for the current version of the game isn't helpful?

On top of changing deployment positions , you can change rotation by right clicking on them.
Oh, it's already patched ?
big thx for very useful tips!
can't wait for xenonauts 2 Long War

Correct!
wow, there is a zoom...that is super cool
Loot sell-price goes down each time you sell something, so save up and sell a lot of each specific item at once. There I saved you 6 minutes.
heh, cheers. It doesn't that way anymore though. Game automatically adjust the price if you are selling more than 1 at the same time.
Great content...subbed! In future please try to remember to get rid of the text sooner.
Yeah, I was in the hurry to make this video out in public
is it safe to sell cleaner data ?
@@ElVerdeVida in version I played , yeah, but they might have changed something
I player alot of xenonauts 1 i have to tried the New release 🎉
😮
Loot selling sounds like a big bug. Is funny how you said that the aircraft free money is bug and this one is not.
