How do I make them follow me? It seems Shift + 1 makes them evacuate and Shift + 2 makes them gather resources, but I'd like them to stick close, especially when I'm going for a site.

Hello,

This can't be possible.
The site search is yours.

you know that this going to planet get resources and stuff is piss easy to do alone? they are so bad at shooting aliens i just keep them in the greenhouse and beamroom and other naughty rooms. when you got to deal with those tiny aliens you can jump on top of those stones that got minerals in them and kill them from there with the unlimited laser pistol, and if they are more stones with minerals closeby you can mine them above the floor. those automated guns are mostly useless taking them on missions. you move so quickly its like superman against a bunch of retarded ants :P

Yeah, I posted this as I was starting out but at least on normal difficulty there's not much of a point - the aliens aren't dangerous enough to be a serious threat even when you split from your team. Even if they were, you can always deploy turrets.

automated guns to resource missions is not a good idea, since when a alien does not walk up to a gun it will shoot everything miss and will explode... and you made 3 gun resources make a turret for nothing.. anyways, just set those turrets in ya base ship to def the emploiyees for maybe a nest you mist and is creating a attacking allien :P

Just want to say that AI in this game is it for enemy's or friends its really dumb.. so automated guns is to miss a alien in a wide space not a corridor or a room... aldo i ahd some turrets shoot at a alien walking by in my ship and missed everything then exploded with nothing hit... very frustrating.. since it shot where the alien just left its last step it cant even hit a fucking alien even it got that so called red laser on it to aim better....

Thanks didn't know this!

I was really enjoying the game but took a brief break. When XCOM 2 released I thought I'd do something different so instead of building out my spaceship, managing my crew, researching and launching attacks on aliens I thought I'd, uh...

... build out my spaceship, manage my crew, research and launch attacks on aliens IN TURN BASED MODE! ;)

Look in the options, later the "COMMAND" key was changed to C

C 1 is simply "GET TO THE SHUTTLE!"

C 2 is "Situation normal, back/get to work" (I think)

Wouldn't be stupid if you could use your own Crew Command to kidnap the opponents who have the acid rifles faster.
