Alien Containment

General Information

This is required to hold captured aliens, as it provides the enviroment that is needed to keep them alive for extended periods of time. Several research advances that are necessary to completing the game require the presence of a particular alien species in Alien Containment.

A single Alien Containment facility can hold any number of alien individuals from up to ten different combinations of alien species and rank. For example, one facility can hold any number of Sectoid Soldiers, but cannot hold alien units of every rank and race all at the same time.

Whilst this facility can be built from the start of the game, the default starting base does not include this facility.
