Alien Capture
Lebo77:
OK, I think I am doing everything right, but I am not seeing any aliens showing up in my Containment Facility. I researched the Stun rod, and go into a mission where I stun a Taman. After I win the mission the screen at the end lists one alien captured. However when the team gets back to base, the containment facility shows no live aliens, and no new research options.
What's going on here?
I am playing the latest 2.5dev build.

Q: The alien containment is on the same base the dropship was sent from?
Please attach a savegame so we can check.

Lebo77:
Yes.
I would send along a save, but I am traveling for work for the next couple of days. I am installing UFO: AI on my laptop as I type this and will see if I can replicate it later in the week.
But from the sounds of it I should be seeing aliens in the tank?
Xeinar:
I am experiencing the same: stun rod researched, alien containment in the same base of the dropship, alien captured (taman or sheevar), still no alien to interrogate (or whatever) in the research, no alive alien in the containment area.
Playing with 2.5 dev, in case can you tell me exactly what file is needed for examination? I tried to find the savegame file but I can't find it.
Apart from that: is it needed to dump dead bodies from the base? I mean, in the original X-Com they used base space; I don't understand if here it is the same and how to dump them, in case.

Tried to reproduce it but here "Live Alien" research was opened, and the containment has the captured aliens.

The savegame and ufoconsole.log of a session when you brought home live alien would be useful (ufoconsole.log is overwritten by default on every run)
The location of these files described in our FAQ, you may need to enable some "Show hidden files" function of your file manager to see the directory.

No, they don't take space. Probably we will remove counting dead bodies later, they have no real use.
