How do I open/add a communication slot?

[raubrey]

Hi Folks - I find myself a bit perplexed on how to open a communication slot and hope I didn't mess up but am seemingly running out of time for a "Dark Event." (I mean Avatar Project)

My goal is Indonisia - I have 3/3 slots filled, have enough intel and the notice I get when I select Make Contact is something about Building/Staffing/Upgrading Comms but that's the part I am not seeing available.

FWIW, I haven't done the main Blacksite quest yet. I am trying to put that off for as long as possible if that matters.

Is there anything I can do or will some timed event eventually open up a slot? I only have about 5 blocks of time left... (correction) for the Avatar Project.

Thanks.

Well I knew if I posted then I'd find the answer right in front of me...

It appears Comms is via Engineering and I had built the wrong structure.

As far as how the system works, it's a bit more involved but here is some info to whom it may interest.

5 Blocks of Avatar Projekt isnt running out of time.

Running out of time is when the last block highlites and the real Doomclock activates.
For 21 Days the first time.

I was playing without spoilers (though did see this today) and am just talking in a general OCD, want to not be in trouble sense of running out of time. I had events piling up right after this... (with blocks moving forward) I bit the bullet and bought another engineer ...I just had the sense I was starting at a disadvantage from my goof...but maybe all is OK...for now.
