Description
This is a script that was written by Rich_27 after my first draft of it was less than pretty :P

The script is set up for use on pirate bases, it gradually increases the range of the antenna responsible for spawning drones up to a preset maximum range then resets the range back to the minimum.

The idea of setting it up this way was to make the drones attack in waves rather than becoming a constant stream.

You can even use this with bases for Meridius IX's planetary installation mod ;)


To set up the script, change the name of the antenna in the script to the name of the spawning antenna on the base, then set your time interval and your minimum and maximum increment and you're done. If that doesn't make sense I've made a video where I found it a lot easier to explain :P

Loving the mod, though, dont use with the star wars weapon mod, thought I was safe underground....the drones said "What mountain?"

Use the Assertive Installations mod, this was created before that and was integrated into the assertive installations mod :)

Benji 5 Jul, 2020 @ 12:42am 
so i actually have to place every programmable block before i start my game?

Guess I could modify the drones for space/atmo flight. Thanks.

The script works very simply, it increases the range of the antenna periodically. What the antenna does will depend on how you set it up. The default pirate antenna names can spawn space capable or atmospheric drones, if you do the atmospheric ones there's a reasonable chance they would survive spawning and falling but I'm not 100% on that :/

Hello. Would it be possible to stick this in a large ship like 12k above the planet surface, maybe using a ship planetary orbit script, to send drones at you on the surface every time it passes over?

Or does this script only work on planets? Ty

Thank you, renaming the antenna worked, now for an extra challenge, Assertive Installations will be subbed as well

It's a script you would have to place into the programmable blocks on those bases and also rename those base antennas to use it, it doesn't modify existing stuff. I've got a pack of bases that do use the script that I've been working on updating for a while called Assertive Installations, they'll throw drones at you and use this script https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1464803311
