Cannot recover corpses from missions
I am unnable to recover corpses from missons. Therefore, I can not perform the Advent Officer autopsy.

The missions with 'Full Salvage' are the body collectors. 'Ambush enemy troop column', 'Raid the Advent Train' etc. Just carry on and you will eventually get one of those mission types

What does 'Full Salvage' mean? I haven't seen that.

I see it the the mission brief. I've got corpses from one of such mission. Looks like it's ok now. Thx!

Any mission that lists "Enemy Material" as a reward will yield corpses.

A clear negative on that one. Had that mission several time, but no bodys were recovered and I didn't use granades.

Please state all mission where 'full salvage' should be the case to verify. Thanks in advance

I use the mod "Extract Corpses" for that. Let's you carry dead enemies out.
I see it like that: If my head scientist wants to do an autopsy, I'm not waiting for the corpse do get delivered to my doorstep. I bring it in myself :)

Haven Defense, Supply Train Ambush and I'm fairly sure there is one additional type.

To be honest, even the FULL SALVAGE in the little note is not a sure thing. There's a RNG formula in the coding for the missions to simulate the 'wholeness' of corpses, i.e. mangled to the point of being completely unusable.

It takes into account how much grenades and similarly destructive weapons were used to kill said units. If the damage dealt reaches a certain threshold (haven't found that yet), the corpse is considered unsalvageable.

So, its not really a bug, but a game mechanic to further simulate the trials of fighting a war.
