Hi everyone,

I'm playing Ufo: Enemy Unknown - the window says "OpenXcom 1.0 git 2018-12-26 00:14".

I noticed that I have several excess alien soldiers and terrorists in my alien containment unit, but there's no way I can get rid of them. I have the research about the respective species already, and I don't get offered any other research project. Apparently, I got quite a few of them while hunting navigators and engineers.

Is there any way to get rid of these? I can't research or sell them, I can't kill them, they only ever appear at all in my base inventory without any possibility to do anything about them ...

Anything I can do? Any need of doing something? I read somewhere there's supposed to be a limit how many live aliens you can have ...

in the vanilla game i remember being able to research useless aliens (ie the bazillion soldiers you get for stunning everyone)
so maybe openxcom glitched out the live aliens that wont learn you anything new

it looks like openxcom has an option you can set to allow selling of live aliens
also one of the options by default seems to ignore storage limits for live aliens and general stores

heres the wiki page for openxcom's options settings

Thank you very much, missed that option. Wanted to get going and didn't really check each one, there were so many. :)
