* Elerium-115 is the only useful item in the game that can never be bought or manufactured (only recovered from UFO and Alien Base assaults), so it is recommended that you never sell it.
** These items cannot be recovered from a UFO. They are game "artifacts" which can only be added to your inventory via an editor.
Transfers
- All items and personnel take anywhere from 6 to 16 hours to transfer between bases, dependent entirely on distance. The minimum is 6 hours, even if your bases are right on top of each other! If anybody wants to test the fee schedule, it is probably directly related to transfer costs, so these might be able to be used to estimate or confirm each other. -MTR
- Transfer fees appear to be distance-related. This has not been well investigated, but for an example, see here.
- The transfer queue can only have a maximum of 100 line items in it. "Line items" means that e.g. a one transfer of 50 Alloys only counts as one line item.
- Items transferred in a Troop Transport all only count as one line item (for the Transport). Also, you are only charged the cost of the transferring the Transport. (Tip courtesy NKF.) This can be a good way to move stuff if your transfer queue is near full. But don't forget about the Sticky Craft Transfer Fee when moving craft - every subsequent transfer has the cost of that craft's transport added to it, for as long as the craft is in transit!
