The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.

Options:

*'''Start New Research Project'''.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can undergo genetic modification at any one time. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].

==New in Long War==
While research in Long War works similar to how it works in Vanilla, there are some notable changes:
* New research projects have been added, expanding the research tree.
* The time required to research a project has been increased.
* Autopsies now require and consume more than one corpse. For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.
* Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.
* Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.
* Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.
* Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.
* UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.
* All Council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.
* South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.

==Research Speed==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratory]] additively increases the effectiveness of scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* FORMULA: finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85

==Analysis Projects==
Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.

Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in italic and gray require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a Foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.
* Exception: Alien Operations only require a single interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.

===Alien Autopsies===
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Miscellaneous Items|Arc Thrower]] and housed in the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.

All interrogations unlock certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===UFO Analysis===
Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, ships gain 10% damage bonus against all UFOs of the same type.
Also, once ''UFO Scanners'' Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during [[Air Combat (Long War)|Air Combat]].

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 25%.

==Technology Projects==
Technology projects allow players to study alien materials and develop new technology. These studies are generally longer than analysis projects, and usually cost a combination of Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld and captured devices.

Most technology projects have a credit type. Once the research credits of this type have been acquired through an interrogation, the research speed for these technology projects increases by 25%.

===Xenology===
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

===Materials and Aerospace===
These research projects study the Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld, UFO Flight Computers and UFO Power Sources that are obtained during missions, and unlock useful projects and items to require these materials, as well as Council requests for these materials.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Armor and Weapons projects, as well as Alien Biocybernetics.

===Plasma Weapons===
When aliens die, the weapons they wield self-destruct. When aliens are captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Utility devices|Arc Thrower]], their weapons remain intact, allowing then to be studied and retrofitted for human use.

The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.

Options:

*'''Start New Research Project'''.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can undergo genetic modification at any one time. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].

==New in Long War==
While research in Long War works similar to how it works in Vanilla, there are some notable changes:
* New research projects have been added, expanding the research tree.
* The time required to research a project has been increased.
* Autopsies now require and consume more than one corpse. For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.
* Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.
* Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.
* Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.
* Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.
* UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.
* All Council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.
* South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.

==Research Speed==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratory]] additively increases the effectiveness of scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* FORMULA: finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85

==Analysis Projects==
Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.

Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in italic and gray require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a Foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.
* Exception: Alien Operations only require a single interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.

===Alien Autopsies===
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Miscellaneous Items|Arc Thrower]] and housed in the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.

All interrogations unlock certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===UFO Analysis===
Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, ships gain 10% damage bonus against all UFOs of the same type.
Also, once ''UFO Scanners'' Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during [[Air Combat (Long War)|Air Combat]].

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 25%.

==Technology Projects==
Technology projects allow players to study alien materials and develop new technology. These studies are generally longer than analysis projects, and usually cost a combination of Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld and captured devices.

Most technology projects have a credit type. Once the research credits of this type have been acquired through an interrogation, the research speed for these technology projects increases by 25%.

===Xenology===
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

'''Psi powers''' have been significantly overhauled in Long War. Psi talent is now trained, not discovered, so with enough time and attempts, every soldier can be a psionic ([[#Limitations|barring some exceptions]]). There are many more powers distributed among more levels.

== Training ==

=== Limitations ===

[[MEC Trooper (Long War)|MEC Troopers]], [[Officers (Long War)|Officers]], and soldiers with the Neural Damping gene mod are unable to undergo psi training. Psionic soldiers cannot get Neural Damping and cannot become officers or MEC troopers.

=== Unlocking Psi powers ===

By default, only Mindfray is available. Unlocking further powers is accomplished by performing autopsies and interrogations. One exception is Rift, which requires an in-battle accomplishment.

Psi-powers are now more effective based on the will score of the caster. For instance, Mind Merge will add (will/60) damage reduction to the target.

Psionic soldiers can also gain 1-6 extra will per psi level (1 + rand(6)).

=== Psi XP ===

After Xenopsionics is researched, soldiers will begin accruing Psi XP by going on missions.
Reaching a threshold of Psi XP is required to undergo additional Psi Training ('extra' Psi XP will not roll over for the next level, and will cap at the next requirement. Every round of training takes approximately 7-10 days, and its success is affected by the tester's will score.
After they reach the cap, putting them back in the Psi Lab for another round of training is required. You can see the current Psi XP level and cap in their Barracks profile.

===Psi Ranks and XP gain===

In Long War Psi XP is awarded passively only after a successful mission. Thus, the more missions a soldiers completes, the faster s/he will unveil the mystery behind his/her psionic powers. Each Psi ability from the same Psi Rank provides the same passive gain. The experience gain is cumulative across all abilities learned.
A soldier gains a new Psi Rank for 5 completed missions, unless the Neuroregulator (an EXALT loot item) is used. Thus, to achieve the final rank of Master you should require approximately 30 missions per soldier. 

=== Success rate ===

The success rate of the training depends on the soldier's will and the level. If the target will for the level is equal to the soldier's will, the chance is 45%. It increases asymptotically to 100% at infinite will and drops to 0% at 0 will.

The target will values are:

* '''Level 1:''' 50
* '''Level 2:''' 60
* '''Level 3:''' 70
* '''Level 4:''' 80
* '''Level 5:''' 95
* '''Level 6:''' 120

=== Effects on fatigue ===

A psi-trained soldier takes longer to recover from post-battle [[Soldiers (Long War)#Fatigue|fatigue]]. The increase is dependent upon powers learned, with some powers incurring a greater level of fatigue than others - even those in the same tier.

== In-game application of powers ==

*Only one power from Psi rank can be chosen. Note that some powers cannot be cast on the same target (i.e.: an Inspired soldier cannot be Merged with). Be mindful that several powers are passive abilities.
*In order to unlock most powers, it is necessary to complete some research or achieve some feats in-game.

Is always on and also provides protection to nearby allies. Damage scales with will difference between psi attacker and psi defender.
|- align="center"
| [[File:Regen_Biofield.png|32px]] '''Regen Biofield''' || Thin Man Interrogation || Like the Elite EXALT Medic's ability, provides +1 HP regeneration and cures acid to all ally units within 3 tiles of the Psionic Trooper. It triggers only if an ally is wounded beyond bonus armor HP.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC PSIINSPIRATION.png|32px]] '''Psi Inspiration''' || Sectoid Interrogation || Psi Inspiration removes all harmful mental effects (panic, hallucination, fallen comrades penalty) from everyone inside the AOE as well as grants +30 Will for the next 4 turns. Unlike in vanilla, Psi Inspiration is not centered around the user but can instead can be targeted much like a rocket.
|- align="center"
| [[File:Distortion_Field.png|32px]] '''Distortion Field''' || Muton Interrogation || Works the same as the vanilla MEC ability, that is, provides +10 defense to all units within 4 tiles of the Psionic Trooper. Is always on. However, watch out for grenade-bait formations.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC MINDMERGE.png|32px]] '''Mind merge ''' || Sectoid Commander Autopsy || Merge minds with the target, granting the target temporarily increased health for aliens and damage reduction for XCOM operatives based on user's Will. It also grants increased critical hit chance and a will bonus, which also scales with the mind merge caster's will. Mind merge can't be applied to psionically active targets such as soldiers with Psi Inspiration buff or those who are already mind merged. Especially effective in combination with Pulse Laser weapons and SCOPEs, which can both provide critical hit chance boosts as well.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC PANIC.png|32px]] '''Psi Panic''' || Berserker Interrogation || Cause target to panic, if the target's Will check is failed. Robotic enemies are immune with the exception of the [[Mechtoid (EU2012)|Mechtoids]]. 2 turn cooldown. Note that panic has been changed a little in Long War so units will either hunker down or run, and never go berserk and take a shot. This makes Psi Panic considerably better than vanilla since it's now a reliable two turn disable.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC PSIDRAIN.png|32px]] '''Psychokinetic Strike''' || Sectoid Commander Interrogation || A cover-destroying, free-aimed psionic attack. AoE ''trigger'' field about the size of a grenade's blast, any destructible item that is even partially in the field is ''entirely'' destroyed (ie; getting a part of a log destroys the entire log, barely clipping a wall will destroy as much as if directly hit with a rocket). Does not cause HP damage.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC TELEKINETICFIELD.png|32px]] '''Telekinetic Field''' || Ethereal Autopsy || Same as vanilla: +40 defense in a wide radius, centered on the caster, reveals [[Seeker (EU2012)|Seekers]]. As with Distortion Field, beware of grenades and other area attacks.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC MINDCONTROL.png|32px]] '''Mind Control''' || Ethereal Interrogation || Same as vanilla--- granted, more difficult due to lack of Iron Will in the OTS. Also: alien weapons are no longer dropped intact if killed while under Mind Control.
|- align="center"
| [[File:PSIONIC RIFT.png|32px]] '''Rift''' || Ethereal Mind Control || A highly damaging area effect attack. The secret to creating Rifts can only be found by Mind Controlling an Ethereal in battle; this must be done for every soldier that you wish to learn Rift.

== Tactical Advice ==
*'''Neural Feedback''' vs '''Regen Biofield''' vs '''Mind Fray'''
Mindfray could be a great tool to limit effectiveness of a single dangerous foe and decrease the threat of their aoe abilities. It also exposes the target for further psionic attacks. Neural Feedback on a high will soldier can do significant damage to psionic enemies and protect the squad from falling victim to further psionic abilities. Regen Biofield is another passive ability focused on curing acid and heal non-armor HP.

*'''Distortion Field''' vs '''Psi Inspiration'''
Distortion Field is a passive ability that applies +10 defense to soldiers other than the psion in the area. Psi Inspiration is a great defensive buff, which eliminates negative will effects, but could also be a great tactical reactive tool to bring panicking soldiers back under your control.

*'''Psi Panic''' vs '''Mind Merge'''
Psi Panic is an excellent way to disable key aliens when (read: not "if") you get overwhelmed, while Mind Merge can both protect the soldier from harm and improve his chances to both resist and deploy psionic powers.

*'''Telekinetic Field''' vs '''Pyrokinesis''' vs '''Psychokinetic Strike'''
Three very strategic abilities, soldier class will be the primary decider, followed by playstyle. TK Field lasts one round and needs to be used, but is vastly more powerful than Distortion field; good for mid-range and/or high-move soldiers, so they can cast it to whoever else needs it. Keep in mind that it is centered on the caster, and that anyone not in the field should still be behind it: TK Field has an unfortunate habit of thusly drawing fire to any soldiers ''not'' under it's active protection, so have them at least in high cover or out of alien LoS.

PK Strike can turn any soldier in to an ersatz Sapper Engineer, or can be used when you don't want to blow a unreliable rocket or grenade on some cover (and/or don't want to risk killing the alien for either capture or artifacts). It's for when some cover needs to be destroyed ''right now''. It's range is line of sight (and you can cheese it a bit around corners/cover that the soldier shouldn't be able to see around). In programming terms: any game asset 'prop' that is in the AoE bubble is entirely destroyed, even if it is only clipping into it, with the exception of walls, which will be destroyed to the rough equivalent as if they had received a direct rocket hit.

Pyrokinesis is adapted from the MEC's Flamethrower: it casts a non-damaging fire (that ''gradually'' destroys cover/objects: usually at the end of the next Alien Activity) upon a targeted area, and functions as a ground-denial ability: like normal flames from explosions, organic enemies (and non-fire-immune XCOM soldiers) cannot cross it, so it can be used to either block a choke point from enemy movement (ie: force Chryssalids and Berserkers to ether stop or take a detour), deny high cover spots from enemies (block flanks, or keep EXALT from lining up in a Transmitter/Encoder capture area), or lock an alien from moving (be wary of any with jumping/flying abilities): in effect, a weak-willed Psionic's alternative to Psi Panic (though keep in mind it doesn't keep enemies from ''firing'').

*'''Regen Double Dip MC'''
If you Mind Control an alien with health regeneration, keep in mind that it will heal at the end of your turn, be released (and take actions), then heal again at the end of it's turn.

*'''Suit up for the Rift'''
To use Rift in battle, there are 4 requirements a soldier must meet:
* Gain sufficient PsiXP
* Have previously mind controlled an Ethereal
* Successfully completed the training for Rift in the Psi Lab
* And lastly, the soldier ''must'' wear Vortex Armor into battle. Otherwise, the icon for this ultimate attack will not appear, even if all other requirements are met.

=== Mind Controlling an Ethereal ===

Base ethereal will is 135 on normal/classic, 155 on brutal, and 160 on impossible (they gain +15 will with their regen upgrade).

Ethereals gain +55 will at max research (1200 days in, the first +15 increase is at 420 days).

Ethereal pod leaders can also gain another +70 will.

In order for MC to have a 50% chance of succeeding your Psionic soldier must have 30 more will (buffs included) than the target.

Armor (Long War)

2015-06-22T01:01:41Z

Ooinzaghi: /* Soldier armor */

[[File: Soldiers_Armors_Long_War.png|left|192px|]]
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
Long War nearly doubles the amount of available suits of armor, using the Gene Mod (sleeveless) versions of the original suits of armor for the new suits of armor. Gene Mods no longer affect the looks of a soldier's armor.

Most technology levels provide access to two different suits of Armor, one tailored towards Mobility (Tac Vest, Kestrel, Banshee, Corsair, Seraph) and the other tailored towards Survival (Tac Armor, Carapace, Aegis, Titan, Archangel).

Suits of armor now also provide new features, such as [[Damage Reduction (Long War)|damage reduction]] or granting specific perks.

[[Damage Reduction (Long War)|Damage reduction]] indicates the average amount of damage absorbed from incoming attacks. For example, a damage reduction of 0.3 has a 30% chance to absorb 1 point of damage. Multiple sources of damage reduction (such as perks, items and cover) stack.

Resistance to acid prevents soldiers from receiving mobility penalties from acid, and from taking damage when performing any move other than hunker down. The soldiers still take penalties to aim and [[Damage Reduction (Long War)|damage reduction]], and still suffer reduced range on rockets and thrown devices.

Armors and exoskeletons can be built in Engineering. They can also be built quickly, which increases the Credits, Alien Alloys, Elerium and Meld costs, but halves the build time. The values between parentheses indicate the costs and time when building these items quickly.

Armors have a chance to become damaged, based on the amount of health damage that a soldier took. If a soldier took no health damage, there is a 0% chance for the armor to become damaged. If a soldier was reduced to 0 health, there's a 95% chance for the armor to become damaged. The actual chance scales with the health damage taken. Armor damage does cause the armor to become damaged. Items in unlimited supply cannot become damaged. The Vortex Armor also cannot become damaged.

Facilities (Long War)

2015-04-26T11:43:27Z

Ooinzaghi: /* Constructible facilities */

<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
[[File: Facilities background Long War.jpg|left|256px]]
The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The headquarters in Long War are mostly the same as in vanilla, with pretty much every facility performing the same or a similar function as in vanilla.

The XCOM Headquarters, often referred to as the "Ant Farm", due to it's side view, is separated in two sections. The top half of the base consists of static facilities that are already available at the start of the game and are the same for every individual game. The bottom half of the base starts out mostly empty, with room to construct various additional facilities, once enough space has been excavated.

=Static facilities=
The top half of the base contains several crucial facilities that are automatically available at the start of the game, and remain static throughout the game.

The static facilities supply a total of 30 power and require a total of 13 power, effectively supplying 17 power to the constructible facilities.

| The Mission Control Room is the focus of XCOM engagement, featuring a rotating hologram of Earth, referred to by Bradford as a 'Hologlobe'. In the Mission Control Room, players can "Scan for Activity", which advances the time and date, respond to available missions and watch aircraft on their way to a mission.

In the Engineering Bay, players can build [[Weapons (Long War)|Weapons]], [[Armor (Long War)|Armor]], [[Equipment (Long War)|Equipment]] and [[S.H.I.V. (Long War)|Vehicles]] and expand the XCOM base by building new facilities. Players can also access the [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] and the [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] here, once they have been constructed.

|-align=center
| [[File:Barracks (EU2012).png|150px]] [[Barracks (Long War)|Barracks]]
| The Barracks houses the soldiers that are available for missions. In the Barracks, players can review their soldiers, change their loadout and appearance, assign promotions, hire new soldiers and view the memorial to fallen soldiers. Players can also access the [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] here, once they have been constructed.

| [[File:Hangar (EU2012).png|150px]] [[Hangar (Long War)|Hangar]]
| The Hangar houses the Skyranger troop transport, the soldiers that are selected for the current mission and the base's interceptors and firestorms. In the Hangar, players can review their interceptors and firestorms, change their loadout and name, order new interceptors and transfer interceptors and firestorms between different continents. Note that while fatigued [[Soldiers (Long War)|Soldiers]] remain in the Hangar, their remaining fatigue time does not reduce, causing them to remain fatigued until you remove them from the mission.

| [[File:Situation Room (EU2012).png|150px]] [[Situation Room (Long War)|Situation Room]]
| The Situation Room provides a global view of the funding countries, complete with panic levels and satellite coverage. In the situation room, players can review the funding countries, view objectives, launch new satellites, view XCOM finances, sell items on the gray market and view and accept pending council requests. Once [[EXALT Units (Long War)|EXALT]] has become active, players can also view their EXALT intel here, scan for EXALT cells, view and launch covert operations and accuse countries of harboring the EXALT headquarters.

|}

=Constructible facilities=
The bottom half of the base contains 28 sections, separated in 4 levels, where players can construct additional facilities. The middle section of each level is reserved for an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]], leaving the remaining 24 sections available for the various other facilities.

Two sections contain steam vents. [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] can only be built in these 2 sections, though you can also build any other facility in these sections, with the exception of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]].

Most facilities have an adjacency type. When 2 facilities with the same adjacency type are build adjacent to each other (either horizontal or vertical), they together provide the adjacency bonus in addition to their regular benefits. Each facility can provide the adjacency bonus more than once. A line of 3 facilities provides the adjacency bonus twice, a block of 2x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 4 times, and a block of 3x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 7 times.

Each of these additional facilities requires maintenance, which costs a fixed amount of Credits each month, as well as a continuous Power requirement. You cannot build any new facilities if that would cause the total amount of power required for all your facilities to exceed the total amount of power supplied.

When needed, facilities can be built more quickly than normal, by selecting the option when building the facility. This increases the Credits, Alien Alloys and Elerium costs by 50% and adds 10 Meld to the cost, but halves the construction time.

==Expanding==
[[File:Empty Facilities Long War.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|One possible starting base]]
At the start of the campaign, the lower half of the base contains a single [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] in the middle of the top level, and a single [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. The rest of the sections contain either an open space (excavated areas and natural caves) or solid ground.

The middle column is reserved for additional [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. Players can build an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on a lower level to gain access to that level. The [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] must be connected, so the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] a player builds must be at the second level, the second [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the third level and the third [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the final level.

Facilities can only be constructed on sections with an open space. To construct a facility (other than an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]), you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Open spaces that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by solid ground are not available for the construction of new facilities.

A section that contains solid ground can be excavated, so that it becomes an open space. To excavate a section, you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Sections with solid ground that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by other sections with solid ground are not available for excavation.

Excavating a section takes 5 days, and the cost depends on the level the section is at. Excavations cannot be performed quickly, and do not have any maintenance once completed:
* Excavating a section on the top level costs 10 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the second level costs 20 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the third level costs 40 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the bottom level costs 80 Credits.

==Layout==
[[File:2015-01-21 00001.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|An example of end-game base layout. The in-progress Gollop Chamber and the one Fusion generator were formerly a laboratory and a workshop, respectively, with adjacency bonuses. Note that the Satellite block, had it been oriented horizontally, would allow for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block, but the +3 power would not be sufficient to allow both the Gollop Chamber and retain the removed Workshop (but the L-shape had been more than sufficient for the Lab and Workshop prior). However, the 2x2 power block would have allowed the Chamber to be built without the Fusion generator.]]
There are a total of 24 sections available for facilities, not counting the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. To make optimal use of the adjacency bonuses, it is important that players plan the layout of their facilities ahead of time, to optimize adjacency bonuses. Since there are 4 different adjacency types, it's only natural to assign each adjacency type to it's own quarter:
* [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], which include the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]].
* [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]], which include the [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] and the [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]].
* Power generators, which include [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]], [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]].
* Satellite support, which include [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] and [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]].

Players start with a [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. Players that want to eventually have a satellite in orbit for each council member need a total of 16 satellites. The most efficient way of supporting this, is by building 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] (3 maximum satellites) and 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] (6 maximum satellites) in a 3x2 pattern for 7 adjacency bonuses (7 maximum satellites), which provides them with a total of 16 maximum satellites. This means that the entire top left quarter can be reserved for satellite support, while leaving room for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block. Alternatively, one could build the satellite hub as two facilities across, and three down, allowing non-adjacency facilities (such as the officer training school and alien containment) to be built vertically down the leftmost edge, which can be an attractive use of upper-space, if those facilities are a priority.

Steam vents can provide a great boost to power during the early months of the game, thanks to [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]], so the quarter that players reserve for their Power generators should contain at least one steam vent. It can be beneficial to restart the campaign until both steam vents are close to each other in the same quarter of the base, but keep in mind that [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] supply more power than [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and do not have placement requirements, so steam vents can be ignored in the long run.

Steam vents are generally found at the bottom half of the base, which may take a while to expand to. Players should not hesitate to build [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] at the top of the base during the early months, to provide enough supply for their early buildings, and then tear these down once there are enough [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] in place, as [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] are very inefficient once players are getting tight for space.

With the top left quarter reserved for Satellite support and one of the bottom quarters reserved for Power generators, the remaining two quarters are available for [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. Players should reserve the top right quarter for the adjacency type they want to focus on during the early game, and reserve the remaining quarter at the bottom for the other adjacency type.

Alternatively, if players are reserving the bottom left quarter for Power generators, they could reserve vertical lines for their [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. While this is slightly less efficient for the adjacency bonuses, it allows players to build essential buildings of either type before expanding to the third level.

Players should keep in mind that they also need to reserve space for the [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]], the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]], the [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] and the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]. These buildings have no adjacency type, and thus can be built in any quarter where players are not planning to use all 6 sections for the adjacency type.

If you go with a 2x4 configuration of the Foundry, the MEC Lab, and 6 Workshops (as recommended in [[XCOM_Headquarters_(EU2012)#Adjacency_Bonuses|Vanilla]]), you will end up with about a 46-48% refund in Elerium and Alloys from any builds in Engineering; this is fairly close to the listed 50% rebate maximum, and without crowding out the other facilities you'll be needing. Note that this does not include ''credits'', so it is not quite "buy two get one free."

==Power==
Since there are only 24 sections available, it helps to calculate beforehand how many Power generators players require. Keep in mind that the [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require 13 power and supply 30 power. For example, players may want to construct the following list of facilities:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 2 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 8 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 3 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
* The [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] requires 35 power.
These facilities together take up 19 sections, leaving 5 for Power generators, and require a total of 180 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 150 power is required. The most efficient way of supplying this, is by building 4 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (140 power) in a 2x2 pattern for 4 adjacency bonuses (12 power), which provides them with a total of 152 supply.

However, since that does not leave enough power for any facility in the last remaining spot, there is little point in tearing down the [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] to replace them with the more expensive [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]]. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 3 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (105 power) provide a total of 155 power, even without adjacency bonuses.

Alternatively, since the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] is by far the most power consuming building, and is only required at the very end of the campaign, players could focus on a base without the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]], and when it's time to end the campaign, tear down several buildings to provide both space and power for the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 3 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 4 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 16 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
These facilities together take up 20 sections, leaving 4 for Power generators, and require a total of 153 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 123 power is required. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 2 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (70 power) provide a total of 120 power, so a single adjacency bonus (3 power) provides a total of 123 power.

The Foundry is one the most important buildings in Long War; as with the default game, it is essential for upgrading existing equipment and unlocking new items for further development. The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.

Foundry projects are generally passive upgrades and whilst their effects may seem small, they can have a subtle but long-lasting impact on a campaign as they cover everything from boosting the chance of scoring critical hits with pistols, to enhancing the amount of materials recovered after combat. Unfortunately, these projects also require a significant investment of resources, especially meld. They also often require other rarer or more unusual materials such as corpses, wrecks, or UFO components.

Each project has an engineer requirement, while you can still start the project without meeting this requirement, the time to complete it will be significantly longer than usual.

One of the most important upgrade paths that the foundry gives access to is Interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs. For a full list of some of the new items unlocked by Foundry projects, refer to the [[Equipment (Long War)|Equipment]] page.

Many foundry projects bear the same name and effects as [[Foundry (EU2012)|their original incarnation]], though with differing costs, requirements, and time.

Weapons (Long War)

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15}}
[[File: Soldiers_Weapons_Long_War.png|left|192px|]]
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

Long War makes several changes to weapons:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma.

* There are several additional types of primary and secondary weapon available in each tier.

* Many weapons can be Steadied as an action to improve aim for the next turn.

* Explosives no longer do fixed damage, and their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast.

* Rocket launchers use a revamped accuracy system using the soldier's aim.

==Weapon Tiers==
===Conventional/Ballistic===
These are the basic weapons you start with - and whilst they're okay to begin with, they're not going to be up to scratch in the long run. The sawed-off shotgun is unique to this tier. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

===Beam Lasers===
Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers. They also have a little more firepower than Ballistic weapons, but it still won't be enough in the long run. Although skipping laser weaponry in vanilla is a viable and at times easy-to-pull-off gambit, in Long War the expenses for gauss weapons combined with the tighter economy makes this less appealing, and the aim bonus beam lasers confer makes them arguably better early game than gauss anyway. Beam Lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

===Gauss===
Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry. In general Gauss weapons have a larger clip size, which can make this tier of weapons preferable for soldiers that has ammo-intensive perks or abilities such as flush ,suppression, collateral damage, in the zone, close combat specialist, close encounters, light 'em up, and rapid fire. Uniquely, the sniper rifle of this tier--the Gauss long rifle--grants snipers the HEAT ammo perk, whom otherwise can't obtain said perk normally. This makes Gauss snipers a powerful counter to mechanical leaders/bosses whom can have over 50 health and a staggering amount of damage reduction; though in return, the Gauss long rifle has a rather inconvenient clip size of 1. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

===Pulse Lasers===
Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse laser weapons have a bonus to their critical hit chance, which might make them more preferable to laser weapons in the hands of crit-focused assaults and snipers. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

===Plasma===
Plasma tier weapons are the most powerful in terms of raw damage, but also expensive and hard to obtain; building them requires captured alien weapons as production components... which means you'll have to stun and capture aliens for every weapon you want to build. Plasma weapons have the same models as the weapons either used by the aliens or made by XCOM like the Sniper Rifle.

== Weapon types==
Long War adds many new types of primary and secondary weapon. Most of these weapon types have a corresponding weapon at each technology level. The primary weapon types are, in descending order of average damage: '''SHIV/MEC Primary Weapons''' > '''Light Machine Guns''' and '''Shotguns''' > '''Heavy Rifles''', '''Marksman/Sniper rifles''' and '''Squad Automatic Weapon''' > '''Assault Rifles''' > '''Carbines''' and '''Submachine Guns'''. In general, the more powerful a weapon is the more unwieldy it is as well, and that will reflect in aim and mobility penalties/bonuses. The MEC version of heavy machine guns have a unusually large deviation of +/-4. And finally Shotguns' damage is severely impeded by damage reduction.

=== '''Pistols''' ===
The default sidearm, very similar to vanilla pistols, except that they do not have unlimited ammo. Pistols have shorter effective range than assault rifles unless the soldier possesses the Gunslinger perk.

==='''Machine Pistols'''===
A more damaging sidearm, but at the cost of added weight and decreased aim when drawn. Machine Pistols also tend to have very limited ammo. Useful for a Gunslinger soldier to finish off targets.

==='''SMGs'''===
SMGs confer +3 mobility bonus and have the lowest damage and crit chance of all the primary weapons. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant bonus accuracy. They're very useful for classes that need to reposition quickly to bring explosives and other area weapons against enemies, making them a good choice for Rocketeers and Engineers. Scouts, who might use the added mobility usually require something that packs a punch, like a Shotgun or any Rifle.

==='''Carbines'''===
Carbines are light versions of assault rifles. They have reduced damage and crit chance, but confer +1 mobility and an accuracy bonus. They are ideal for inexperienced troops and those that need to move quickly, but experienced troops should switch to other weapons quickly as tougher aliens begin to appear.

==='''Assault Rifles'''===
These are the baseline assault rifles, similar to their vanilla counterparts. They have a respectable balance of firepower and accuracy. 
The Arc Rifle is a special Rifle that grants Disabling Shot with the regular 2-turn cooldown, although it does not confer the snap shot perk. It has low damage and ammo capacity. Useful early on for raiding small UFO's with capable soldiers and plenty of arc thrower uses.

==='''Heavy Rifles'''===
Heavy Rifles are the more powerful counterpart to assault rifles. Compared to assault rifles, they provide +1 base damage and -1 mobility, and -10 aim after moving or taking any costly (blue) actions until the beginning of the next turn. They are best used by experienced soldiers who can aim well enough to offset the penalty when necessary and make good use of the extra damage.

==='''Shotguns'''===
Long War shotgun-type weapons are similar to their vanilla counterparts. High damage, high crit chance, short range. Shotguns are extremely accurate up close, but suffer from very poor accuracy over longer ranges (even with Cinematic Mode enabled). As such, they work best with highly mobile classes or those that only ever expect to engage enemies up close, like Assault and Scout soldiers. 

The sawed-off shotgun, a point-blank range, high damage sidearm with -1 mobility. It has only one shot, and this cannot be increased by ammo capacity upgrades.

==='''Sniper Rifles'''===
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not taken a costly action, including reloading, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range, so consider steadying the weapon instead to end a turn without targets (especially if you don't have snapshot training).

==='''Marksman Rifles'''===
Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles nonetheless can be fired after moving. Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. Marksman rifles can fire reaction shots up to their maximum range, and with Precision Shot they have unlimited range. 
Marksman Rifles are better suited to close-quarters maps where mobility is essential.

==='''SAWs'''===
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied. They allow faster movement than LMGs, but have less ammo and deal less damage. Suppressing a target with a SAW grants the Opportunist perk for any reaction fire triggered by enemy movement

==='''LMGs'''===
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have a slightly longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of the extra range. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range. 
LMGs are ideal for heavy defensive situations where the Gunner can situate themselves securely and guard a given area using normal and reaction fire.

==='''Rocket Launchers'''===
Sometimes you just have to make a good first-time impression. Sometimes you just happen to not have the right key for a door. Sometimes you just want to give those aliens a running start on their way back - do not fret, Xcom have some portable rocket launchers for you! 

Rockets are fairly simple to use - pick your ability, aim and fire. There is always some guaranteed scatter which is limited by the soldier's Aim and Abilities. While mostly used by Rocketeers, Engineers also have the ability at later stages of the game to carry a rocket launcher. Carrying one forfeits your sidearm. For more information regarding rockets read below.

==='''MEC Primary Weapons'''===
MEC weapons (unsurprisingly) can only be used by MECs. They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

==='''MEC Secondary Weapons'''===

With each upgrade of the MEC suit the number secondary weapon slots increases. As such, they can play a vital role in area control, squad support or neutralizing targets. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Similar to the SAW but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use. While they suffer from the low base aim of all SHIV units, they can shred through enemies at close range, restrict enemy movement options when in overwatch mode thanks to certain equipment, and can deal massive damage to mechanized forces when equipped with HEAT ammo.

Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.

== Explosives ==
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

== Rockets ==
Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range. Rockets can not change height through scatter.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance, nor is it the maximum scatter distance. "Scatter" instead indicates the standard deviation on the X and Y axis. You can expect 68% of your rockets to hit within the standard deviation, 95% to hit within 2 times the standard deviation, and 99.7% to hit within 3 times the standard deviation. Rockets can exceed even this degree of deviation, but the chance is negligible.

Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

Ooinzaghi: /* Constructible facilities */

<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
[[File: Facilities background Long War.jpg|left|256px]]
The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The headquarters in Long War are mostly the same as in vanilla, with pretty much every facility performing the same or a similar function as in vanilla.

The XCOM Headquarters, often referred to as the "Ant Farm", due to it's side view, is separated in two sections. The top half of the base consists of static facilities that are already available at the start of the game and are the same for every individual game. The bottom half of the base starts out mostly empty, with room to construct various additional facilities, once enough space has been excavated.

=Static facilities=
The top half of the base contains several crucial facilities that are automatically available at the start of the game, and remain static throughout the game.

The static facilities supply a total of 30 power and require a total of 13 power, effectively supplying 17 power to the constructible facilities.

=Constructible facilities=
The bottom half of the base contains 28 sections, separated in 4 levels, where players can construct additional facilities. The middle section of each level is reserved for an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]], leaving the remaining 24 sections available for the various other facilities.

Two sections contain steam vents. [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] can only be built in these 2 sections, though you can also build any other facility in these sections, with the exception of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]].

Most facilities have an adjacency type. When 2 facilities with the same adjacency type are build adjacent to each other (either horizontal or vertical), they together provide the adjacency bonus in addition to their regular benefits. Each facility can provide the adjacency bonus more than once. A line of 3 facilities provides the adjacency bonus twice, a block of 2x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 4 times, and a block of 3x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 7 times.

Each of these additional facilities requires maintenance, which costs a fixed amount of Credits each month, as well as a continuous Power requirement. You cannot build any new facilities if that would cause the total amount of power required for all your facilities to exceed the total amount of power supplied.

When needed, facilities can be built more quickly than normal, by selecting the option when building the facility. This increases the Credits, Alien Alloys and Elerium costs by 50% and adds 10 Meld to the cost, but halves the construction time.

==Expanding==
[[File:Empty Facilities Long War.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|One possible starting base]]
At the start of the campaign, the lower half of the base contains a single [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] in the middle of the top level, and a single [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. The rest of the sections contain either an open space (excavated areas and natural caves) or solid ground.

The middle column is reserved for additional [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. Players can build an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on a lower level to gain access to that level. The [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] must be connected, so the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] a player builds must be at the second level, the second [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the third level and the third [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the final level.

Facilities can only be constructed on sections with an open space. To construct a facility (other than an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]), you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Open spaces that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by solid ground are not available for the construction of new facilities.

A section that contains solid ground can be excavated, so that it becomes an open space. To excavate a section, you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Sections with solid ground that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by other sections with solid ground are not available for excavation.

Excavating a section takes 5 days, and the cost depends on the level the section is at. Excavations cannot be performed quickly, and do not have any maintenance once completed:
* Excavating a section on the top level costs 10 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the second level costs 20 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the third level costs 40 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the bottom level costs 80 Credits.

==Layout==
[[File:2015-01-21 00001.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|An example of end-game base layout. The in-progress Gollop Chamber and the one Fusion generator were formerly a laboratory and a workshop, respectively, with adjacency bonuses. Note that the Satellite block, had it been oriented horizontally, would allow for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block, but the +3 power would not be sufficient to allow both the Gollop Chamber and retain the removed Workshop (but the L-shape had been more than sufficient for the Lab and Workshop prior). However, the 2x2 power block would have allowed the Chamber to be built without the Fusion generator.]]
There are a total of 24 sections available for facilities, not counting the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. To make optimal use of the adjacency bonuses, it is important that players plan the layout of their facilities ahead of time, to optimize adjacency bonuses. Since there are 4 different adjacency types, it's only natural to assign each adjacency type to it's own quarter:
* [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], which include the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]].
* [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]], which include the [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] and the [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]].
* Power generators, which include [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]], [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]].
* Satellite support, which include [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] and [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]].

Players start with a [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. Players that want to eventually have a satellite in orbit for each council member need a total of 16 satellites. The most efficient way of supporting this, is by building 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] (3 maximum satellites) and 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] (6 maximum satellites) in a 3x2 pattern for 7 adjacency bonuses (7 maximum satellites), which provides them with a total of 16 maximum satellites. This means that the entire top left quarter can be reserved for satellite support, while leaving room for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block. Alternatively, one could build the satellite hub as two facilities across, and three down, allowing non-adjacency facilities (such as the officer training school and alien containment) to be built vertically down the leftmost edge, which can be an attractive use of upper-space, if those facilities are a priority.

Steam vents can provide a great boost to power during the early months of the game, thanks to [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]], so the quarter that players reserve for their Power generators should contain at least one steam vent. It can be beneficial to restart the campaign until both steam vents are close to each other in the same quarter of the base, but keep in mind that [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] supply more power than [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and do not have placement requirements, so steam vents can be ignored in the long run.

Steam vents are generally found at the bottom half of the base, which may take a while to expand to. Players should not hesitate to build [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] at the top of the base during the early months, to provide enough supply for their early buildings, and then tear these down once there are enough [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] in place, as [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] are very inefficient once players are getting tight for space.

With the top left quarter reserved for Satellite support and one of the bottom quarters reserved for Power generators, the remaining two quarters are available for [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. Players should reserve the top right quarter for the adjacency type they want to focus on during the early game, and reserve the remaining quarter at the bottom for the other adjacency type.

Alternatively, if players are reserving the bottom left quarter for Power generators, they could reserve vertical lines for their [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. While this is slightly less efficient for the adjacency bonuses, it allows players to build essential buildings of either type before expanding to the third level.

Players should keep in mind that they also need to reserve space for the [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]], the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]], the [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] and the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]. These buildings have no adjacency type, and thus can be built in any quarter where players are not planning to use all 6 sections for the adjacency type.

If you go with a 2x4 configuration of the Foundry, the MEC Lab, and 6 Workshops (as recommended in [[XCOM_Headquarters_(EU2012)#Adjacency_Bonuses|Vanilla]]), you will end up with about a 46-48% refund in Elerium and Alloys from any builds in Engineering; this is fairly close to the listed 50% rebate maximum, and without crowding out the other facilities you'll be needing. Note that this does not include ''credits'', so it is not quite "buy two get one free."

==Power==
Since there are only 24 sections available, it helps to calculate beforehand how many Power generators players require. Keep in mind that the [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require 13 power and supply 30 power. For example, players may want to construct the following list of facilities:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 2 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 8 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 3 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
* The [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] requires 35 power.
These facilities together take up 19 sections, leaving 5 for Power generators, and require a total of 180 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 150 power is required. The most efficient way of supplying this, is by building 4 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (140 power) in a 2x2 pattern for 4 adjacency bonuses (12 power), which provides them with a total of 152 supply.

However, since that does not leave enough power for any facility in the last remaining spot, there is little point in tearing down the [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] to replace them with the more expensive [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]]. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 3 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (105 power) provide a total of 155 power, even without adjacency bonuses.

Alternatively, since the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] is by far the most power consuming building, and is only required at the very end of the campaign, players could focus on a base without the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]], and when it's time to end the campaign, tear down several buildings to provide both space and power for the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 3 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 4 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 16 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
These facilities together take up 20 sections, leaving 4 for Power generators, and require a total of 153 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 123 power is required. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 2 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (70 power) provide a total of 120 power, so a single adjacency bonus (3 power) provides a total of 123 power.

=Constructible facilities=
The bottom half of the base contains 28 sections, separated in 4 levels, where players can construct additional facilities. The middle section of each level is reserved for an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]], leaving the remaining 24 sections available for the various other facilities.

Two sections contain steam vents. [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] can only be built in these 2 sections, though you can also build any other facility in these sections, with the exception of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]].

Most facilities have an adjacency type. When 2 facilities with the same adjacency type are build adjacent to each other (either horizontal or vertical), they together provide the adjacency bonus in addition to their regular benefits. Each facility can provide the adjacency bonus more than once. A line of 3 facilities provides the adjacency bonus twice, a block of 2x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 4 times, and a block of 3x2 facilities provides the adjacency bonus 7 times.

Each of these additional facilities requires maintenance, which costs a fixed amount of Credits each month, as well as a continuous Power requirement. You cannot build any new facilities if that would cause the total amount of power required for all your facilities to exceed the total amount of power supplied.

When needed, facilities can be built more quickly than normal, by selecting the option when building the facility. This increases the Credits, Alien Alloys and Elerium costs by 50% and adds 10 Meld to the cost, but halves the construction time.

==Expanding==
[[File:Empty Facilities Long War.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|One possible starting base]]
At the start of the campaign, the lower half of the base contains a single [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] in the middle of the top level, and a single [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. The rest of the sections contain either an open space (excavated areas and natural caves) or solid ground.

The middle column is reserved for additional [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. Players can build an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on a lower level to gain access to that level. The [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] must be connected, so the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] a player builds must be at the second level, the second [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the third level and the third [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the final level.

Facilities can only be constructed on sections with an open space. To construct a facility (other than an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]), you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Open spaces that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by solid ground are not available for the construction of new facilities.

A section that contains solid ground can be excavated, so that it becomes an open space. To excavate a section, you must have an [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] on the same level, and have a connection to that [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] through open spaces. Sections with solid ground that are separated from the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]] by other sections with solid ground are not available for excavation.

Excavating a section takes 5 days, and the cost depends on the level the section is at. Excavations cannot be performed quickly, and do not have any maintenance once completed:
* Excavating a section on the top level costs 10 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the second level costs 20 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the third level costs 40 Credits.
* Excavating a section on the bottom level costs 80 Credits.

==Layout==
[[File:2015-01-21 00001.jpg|right justify|thumb|512px|An example of end-game base layout. The in-progress Gollop Chamber and the one Fusion generator were formerly a laboratory and a workshop, respectively, with adjacency bonuses. Note that the Satellite block, had it been oriented horizontally, would allow for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block, but the +3 power would not be sufficient to allow both the Gollop Chamber and retain the removed Workshop (but the L-shape had been more than sufficient for the Lab and Workshop prior). However, the 2x2 power block would have allowed the Chamber to be built without the Fusion generator.]]
There are a total of 24 sections available for facilities, not counting the [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]]. To make optimal use of the adjacency bonuses, it is important that players plan the layout of their facilities ahead of time, to optimize adjacency bonuses. Since there are 4 different adjacency types, it's only natural to assign each adjacency type to it's own quarter:
* [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], which include the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]].
* [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]], which include the [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] and the [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]].
* Power generators, which include [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]], [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]].
* Satellite support, which include [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] and [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]].

Players start with a [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]] directly left of the first [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]. Players that want to eventually have a satellite in orbit for each council member need a total of 16 satellites. The most efficient way of supporting this, is by building 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] (3 maximum satellites) and 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] (6 maximum satellites) in a 3x2 pattern for 7 adjacency bonuses (7 maximum satellites), which provides them with a total of 16 maximum satellites. This means that the entire top left quarter can be reserved for satellite support, while leaving room for a 2x2 Elerium Generator block. Alternatively, one could build the satellite hub as two facilities across, and three down, allowing non-adjacency facilities (such as the officer training school and alien containment) to be built vertically down the leftmost edge, which can be an attractive use of upper-space, if those facilities are a priority.

Steam vents can provide a great boost to power during the early months of the game, thanks to [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]], so the quarter that players reserve for their Power generators should contain at least one steam vent. It can be beneficial to restart the campaign until both steam vents are close to each other in the same quarter of the base, but keep in mind that [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] supply more power than [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and do not have placement requirements, so steam vents can be ignored in the long run.

Steam vents are generally found at the bottom half of the base, which may take a while to expand to. Players should not hesitate to build [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] at the top of the base during the early months, to provide enough supply for their early buildings, and then tear these down once there are enough [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] and [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] in place, as [[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generators]] are very inefficient once players are getting tight for space.

With the top left quarter reserved for Satellite support and one of the bottom quarters reserved for Power generators, the remaining two quarters are available for [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. Players should reserve the top right quarter for the adjacency type they want to focus on during the early game, and reserve the remaining quarter at the bottom for the other adjacency type.

Alternatively, if players are reserving the bottom left quarter for Power generators, they could reserve vertical lines for their [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] and [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]]. While this is slightly less efficient for the adjacency bonuses, it allows players to build essential buildings of either type before expanding to the third level.

Players should keep in mind that they also need to reserve space for the [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]], the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]], the [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] and the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]. These buildings have no adjacency type, and thus can be built in any quarter where players are not planning to use all 6 sections for the adjacency type.

If you go with a 2x4 configuration of the Foundry, the MEC Lab, and 6 Workshops (as recommended in [[XCOM_Headquarters_(EU2012)#Adjacency_Bonuses|Vanilla]]), you will end up with about a 46-48% refund in Elerium and Alloys from any builds in Engineering; this is fairly close to the listed 50% rebate maximum, and without crowding out the other facilities you'll be needing. Note that this does not include ''credits'', so it is not quite "buy two get one free."

==Power==
Since there are only 24 sections available, it helps to calculate beforehand how many Power generators players require. Keep in mind that the [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require 13 power and supply 30 power. For example, players may want to construct the following list of facilities:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 2 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 8 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 3 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
* The [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] requires 35 power.
These facilities together take up 19 sections, leaving 5 for Power generators, and require a total of 180 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 150 power is required. The most efficient way of supplying this, is by building 4 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (140 power) in a 2x2 pattern for 4 adjacency bonuses (12 power), which provides them with a total of 152 supply.

However, since that does not leave enough power for any facility in the last remaining spot, there is little point in tearing down the [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] to replace them with the more expensive [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]]. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 3 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (105 power) provide a total of 155 power, even without adjacency bonuses.

Alternatively, since the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]] is by far the most power consuming building, and is only required at the very end of the campaign, players could focus on a base without the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]], and when it's time to end the campaign, tear down several buildings to provide both space and power for the [[Gollop Chamber (Long War)|Gollop Chamber]]:
* The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] require a total of 13 power.
* 4 [[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lifts]] require a total of 4 power.
* 3 [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] require a total of 12 power.
* The [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] requires 4 power.
* The [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] require 6 power.
* 4 [[Workshop (Long War)|Workshops]] require a total of 16 power.
* The [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Repair Bay (Long War)|Repair Bay]] requires 6 power.
* The [[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]] requires 1 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplinks]] require a total of 24 power.
* 3 [[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexuses]] require a total of 36 power.
* The [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] requires 10 power.
* The [[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]] requires 15 power.
These facilities together take up 20 sections, leaving 4 for Power generators, and require a total of 153 power. The [[Facilities (Long War)#static facilities|static facilities]] supply 30 power, so an additional 123 power is required. 2 [[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generators]] (50 power) and 2 [[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generators]] (70 power) provide a total of 120 power, so a single adjacency bonus (3 power) provides a total of 123 power.
