What is this glowing red box?

So I'm running my guys around, and I see this glowing red box. It's doing that "closing" animation that the blue boxes do when you hover over one of your soldiers who is selectable. Any idea what's causing this?

The normal blue movement box becomes red when hovering over a place where your soldier can't reach.

What you are showing is a bug, where the red box "got stuck" at that place. If it really bothers you, try to save and reload the game, or just continue and disregard it.

Answer with spoilers: The first Sectoid Commanders you will meet will be In charge of the alien base. As Ken said in his comment, you should not expect to meet them before capturing an Outsider and doing the research and mission that follows.

It's the name of a settlement, by the looks of it dwarven. You can see it on the local map. You can use Embark Anywhere to embark on it, it might be fun, or you can look for another spot. You can read about the settlement in the Legends mode.

If the background is red, it means that the weapon killed the player with a crit. So in your first screenshot, it could be read as: soccer sam88 Phlogistinator (crit) killed Table whereas the second screenshot would read as: didn't notice you Ubersaw (noncrit) Neil Armstrong As an additional note, as mentioned by users in the comments, the background for mini-crits looks exactly the same as if you had killed the player with the critical hit.

I'm fairly certain the incorrect values in the lower right are a bug/defect in the game. Occasionally I've witnessed multiple alien targets all showing as 1%, despite being in the open with no cover. I have not conducted extensive testing to confirm, but I believe the values that appear when targeting the creature (top center in the image) are correct.

In the bottom-right part of the second world is a cave that should have one red mushroom (Carandol). Just outside and to the left is a bridge. Underneath it, on its far end, should be two more herbs.

What I want is full map, full weapon, full buildings (and bridges). Easy. Step 1: Download Mod Manager by HazardX Step 2: Read the readme file of Mod Manager, then just copy the content of Mod Manager into the game's folder Step 3: Run ModManager.exe (which you just copied in step 2), then select the mods (Freeroam Mode: give you full map & Free Upgrades: give you full weapon), then click "Activate Mods". Step 4: Run game & start new game (give you full buildings and bridges), then save game. From now on, just run the game & you get: full map, full weapon, full buildings (and bridges). Enjoy!

Red highlight means it's a destructible object while blue is usually a container for items. Therefore dead villagers will also not count for destroyed object bonuses.

Click, do not hold. If you hold you could accidentally use the blade once. Two clicks for deposits, about five for doors, and two to open ATMs.

That's the "Vote to Kick" icon. It's a very literal case of "Three strikes and you're out".

That's a Crimson Altar, the crimson alternative to the Demon Altar. It's used as a crafting station to make most pre-hardmode boss items, and Night's Edge. If you attempt to break it before defeating Wall of Flesh or with a hammer of lesser quality to the Pwnhammer, it will damage you for half of your health.

Huwith said it, but here's the detailed answer: Pistols can be fired infinitely without reloading. Heavy weapons, from the LMG all the way up to the Heavy Plasma, have 3 shots worth of ammunition. This can be upgraded to 6 with the Ammo Conservation upgrade at the Foundry. Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, and Assault Rifles all have 4 shots worth of ammunition, and can be upgraded to 8. The same once again holds for their upgraded versions. Firing normally always uses 1 shot. Suppression uses 3. Any ability that fires twice uses 2, one per shot. Flush uses 3.

The ability is called Mind Merge. As long as the beam is maintained, the target sectoid gains these benefits: One additional health bar (meaning they can no longer be killed with 1 grenade). +25% crit chance If you kill the sectoid giving the mind merge, the receiving unit will immediately die. The mind merge effect takes precedence over explosive damage death, so if you catch two sectoids (one mind merging the other) in a rocket, you'll still recover some weapon fragments.

This is a known bug that many people have reported seeing. I myself have even experienced that multiple times... There is really nothing you can do about it other than try to ignore it until a patch fixes it, I'm afraid.

From what I've seen in regards to this gene mod, this "+10 aim" applies rather often based on what circumstances take place. What I've seen: Close and Personal, Double Tap, Bullet Storm-(If the first shot misses, the bonus is applied to the second shot...should you choose to take it). HOWEVER, if a previous shot was made (overwatch or the turn before) and missed, the effect will be applied to the first and will apply to the second IF the first shot misses. Reaction Overwatches (that miss) will also confer the bonus FOR THE NEXT SHOT (this means for either the next turn OR if the character has the Sentinel perk with two shots [assuming that was the first shot...if it was the second, then the next turn's shot has the bonus]) Some additional obversations: I have noticed that using a rocket launcher for heavies (regardless of whether it hits or not), counts as a miss and therefore applies the bonus for those characters. Opportunist with this mod make it rather hard for them to NOT miss. Perfect for those snipers. If your character has this bonus and you choose to suppress targets, you can lose the bonus if it hits. Same with Flush (Don't know why you'd want to do that though xD since it generally is pretty easy to hit). This is very useful for Disabling shot Snipers if a soldier gets "mind-controlled" since they have a better chance to prevent their ally from hurting their squadmates.
