Can't research alien building

[pop5678eye]

Hi!

I've recently (well, two weeks ago) managed to install my old x-com apoc on windows xp, and been playing constantly since. It took me a little while to re-learn the controls, not having played the game for years, but I'm doing very well now. So much that I'm now up to invading the alien dimension... or so I thought.

Here's the problem: the Sleeping Chamber doesn't show up on my research, and hence I cannot research it, and send my agents to destroy it.

I thought I had all the required stuff:

-I researched/built the Dimension probe.

-I sent it to the alien dimension, and had it return in one piece (the latter is not actually a requirement)

-I received the Alein Dimension topic and finished researching it

These should be all the requirements, right? Why doesn't the first alien bulding show up on my research topics? By now I have even researched and built the Bio-transport. My research is up to the Retaliator. I'm running out of Quantum Physics topics!

Am I missing something?

Hmm. Have you tried the bio lab?

 

What research have you done, and what have you got on the waiting list?

If all else fails, just send them on that mission anyhow! ... I can't remember, but maybe the first bit of research isn't "sleeping chamber" but "alien building" or something.

I seem to remember that while the Alien dimension is a Q-Physics topic, the buildings themselves are Bio topics, could that be your problem?

Oh... man, do I feel stupid! :mad: You're right! It was listed under the Bio topics (I haven't looked there since I didn't have any new aliens to research in a while, and the previous research "Alien Dimension" was a QP topic).

So yeah, "Alien Building" is in biology.

Thanks bunchies!
