Goal: Have you ever wondered from where the authors of TFTD took all those fancy supersonic submarines and underwater tanks? Yes, this is the future (the year 2040, in case you forgot), but it’s not the far future. I mean, we have only 19 years left, and we still don't have any such technology, just like we didn’t have it 29 years ago. Do we? Well, I tried to explain this a bit; and yes, the game became slightly harder.
New content: You’ll find over 90 new weapons and items, new crafts and new craft armaments, a lot of new missions (LORE friendly), and 36+ new units (yours and enemies), as well as many USOpedia topics, and even new maps.
Included mods from other authors: "Extended facilities" by Blank. "Moray" by tyran_nick. "Carharodons" by Xops. Swapped small and very small USO maps, so you don’t need to use an external mod.
Included new_civilian's TFTD patch.
Strongly recommended mod: Orchestra of the deep by zauberkraut.
Available languages: US English and Russian.
Thanks: to OpenXcom authors for a brilliant game; to Yankes and Meridian for powerful OXCE, to Solarius Scorch for priceless help, to long6oarder for spell checks, to ohartenstein23 for script help, to artbycarlos for great Triton fan art, to new_civilian and the other modders from whom I borrowed something.
Installation:
Windows: the package now contains only mod files. Install it like any other mod.
Android:
1) Install OXCE (with original TFTD).
2) Extract "user/mods/TWoTS" folder to your "openxcom/mods".
3) Launch the game and activate the mod in menu.
Linux:
1) Install OXCE (with original TFTD).
2) Extract "User/Mods/TWoTS" folder to your "~/.local/share/openxcom/mods".
3) Launch the game and activate the mod in menu.

Уважаемый Nord!
Минорный баг в описании - нигде не указано, что для производства ионного скафандра требуется МК-лаборатория, а для создания МК-брони не требуется). Выяснилось эмпирическим путем. Спасибо) Clips.twitch.tv

Hi Nord my game crashes everytime during Downed Martian Battleship recovery, do you have some site where I can upload my save so you can take a look at it?
1
I was able to somewhat correct that by loading previous save, but if you want to take a look just let me know where I can upload my file

Hi. I can not reproduce your bug without savegame. You can upload it anywhere you like and give me link, or participate on openxom forum: openxcom.org

Here is that savegame.

Nothing bad happens when i use your save. I recommend you to upgrade mod to version 2.50 and remove unnecessary mods, that may cause conflict.

Strange. I updated the mod. I had turned on only "always daytime" and "psionic line of fire" modes before. I turned them off as u suggested so only your mod is active. It still does not work. :(

Only option left - try clean install. In a new folder, with all except savegame.

Very fun overhaul! Noticed that canceling construction does not refund the cost which can be a problem for ironman

Здравствуй, уважаемый автор! Как ты насчет попросить создателей Luke's Hybrid Globe, чтобы они адаптировали его к TFTD? Тебе как автору оно сподручнее их попросить. Там альтернативный геоскейп очень красивый, хорошо бы его в твой мод вместо родного неказистого. Я оставлял у них на странице мода комментарий с просьбой, но они проигнорировали.

Спрашивал, тоже проигнорировали.

Excuse me I am having trouble understanding how to deal with alien bombardments. Do i need to destroy a base, Scrape the base I have or Built a defense system?
Also I am having a real hard time with the Enemy bases. Not only are they very difficult to destroy but more importantly their defense system in geoscape is way too strong. I have several times lost my troop transport when all of a sudden it is just destroyed. It is basically a game wipe. Although I am reloading a save to get around this.. it is too much. The thing need to be slowed down as its speed is ridicules and lose aggro if I pull away from it. That or my troop transports need better fire power.
I know if I got good at the game I could start paying attention to the alien subs to approximate where they are but even then It can be extremely punishing. I had a base spawn right near my starting base and had no ability to counter it. sacrificing my subs to kill the fighter was difficult but the fighter will re-spawn quickly and their is no way I can fight that early game.

Hi. First about bombardments: You can shoot down bomber USO, build defenses or rebuild destroyed facilities each time. Most bombardments are launched after you sunk down USOs.
Second about bases: you can create a squadron by launching interceptor to the moving transport, so the intercepter will follow and protect him. Also, destroyed transport does'nt mean wiped squad, your aquanauts will be saved and return to your base over time. But not equipment.
Alien bases must be destroyed as soon as possible, because bases create bases, rising their quantity exponentially.

so I'm on windows and already have openxcom extended installed, can i just extract the user/mods/TWoTS folder to my openxcom/mods folder?
1
Yes, of course.

Great job on the mod! This is ballbustingly hard!!
Trying to make a beeline for gauss weapons. What's the best way to capture a navigator, and what corpse do I need to research aquaplastics?
I already have zrbite researched :)
1
Thanks.
Navigators can be catched at large ships or colony.
You can access research tree by pressing Q on geoscape.

Thanks!
I really need some decent weapons, aliens are laughing in the face of my gas cannons.
Any recommendations to aim for?
Thanks!

Use specialised stuff. Acid, fire, melee etc.
