Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I've played SMAC/X for 2 1/2 years and I've NEVER seen a mindworm like this! Here is a screenshot (many thanks to Black Sunrise for informing on the intricacies of saving screen shots!).
As Tres posted - it is just a left over from the early beta version of the game (someone forgot to clean up, tut, tut, tut ). If you open up Units.pcx or even Unitsx.pcx you will still see left overs from the beta version, even in AX! ALso some other pcx files have no known use whatsoever... (except to give mod-makers some ideas )

Sure enough, this little jewel is in Units.pcx. This file seems to contain mainly native units from SMAX. It does have a ‘1-1-1’, so I guess it is a left over Usurper/Caretaker unit. Very strange! Thanks for the info!
I got it once too. I think it was when I opened a smac scenario using smax or visa-versa. Eventually the game became unstable, and I couldn't continue. I got a terranx crash that I couldn't avoid.
I remember some mod with intelligent advanced mindworms who had bases. Maybe them.
How is it possible for that thing to just show up? Can it take place in a "normal" game situation? Why does it show up randomly?
in my current MP SMACX game "Democracy in peril" all my trawlers (seacrawlers) have that image.
Is it a bug? Are you using some mod?
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
I have actually seen that particular visual crop up in a couple of games as the picture for different units in the design workshop ( I think once it purported to be the visual for a transport foil). I found that if I deleted that unit from the design workshop and then redesigned the same unit from some lesser unit on the same (proper) chassis, the graphic straightened itself out.
I had never had it appear in the game itself although I am assuming if I had built the thing without changing it in the DW I could have had one of these things
You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
Do you think that unit was an early colony pod? If you look at the alien colony pods in SMAX they look very simmilar to that unit.
I have also seen that unit appear in my games. Twice have I seen it, and both times it was a '3-1-1' unit belonging to Sister Miriam. Must change equitment depending on the owner, but there isn't any weapon with a value of '3'.
Don't rule me out when I'm losing. Save your celebration until after I'm gone.
