Walkthrough

1
Build the Genetics Lab to discover its contents.
2
Construct another Workshop to gain more engineers and a Foundry. Build the Foundry in the third month when Mutons appear.
3
On the fourth floor, build Power Generators and plot facilities. These were built in September 2015 when stalling for money and profit ended, particularly when Exalt clues were difficult.
4
Form a squad composed of 5 MECs and one Heavy for capturing aliens and rocket support. If capturing is not needed, use 6 MECs.
5
When you have 4 MECs, save Meld and upgrade one to Tier 3, equipping it with a grenade launcher and EMP.

Tips

A MEC-heavy squad with a grenade launcher and EMP can lead to smooth sailing, even defeating Sectopods without injuries.
Consider building the Genetics Lab early in your first playthrough to see its contents.
The third month is a good time to build a Foundry due to the appearance of Mutons.
Completing facility construction in September 2015 is recommended when you are ready to stop stalling for money and profit.
