Alien Re-Animation Zone Sell Price Typo
| Item | Sell Price | |
|---|---|---|
| Ion Beam Accelerators | $250,000 | |
| Magnetic Navigation | $80,000 | |
| Alien Sub Construction | $20,000 | |
| Alien Cryogenics | $5,000 | |
| Alien Cloning | $40,000 | |
| Alien Learning Arrays | $20,000 | |

| Examination Room | $9,000 | |
| Alien Re-Animation Zone | $100 | |

Looking at the table above, I find it very odd that Alien Re-animation Zones are only $100, whereas all other items are in the thousands. Furthermore, in the original XCOM the lowest priced UFO recovery component is $5k—this leads me to believe that this might have been a typo like the Dye Grenade, and should be $10k, or at the very least $1k.
I mean, 100 bucks for alien tech? Really? At today's purchasing power equivalent of 1994 that would be $175, which is totally accessible to the general population. —1eyedking (talk) 11:48, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
