Description
This mod gives new a new Hack Reward set called Distress Beacons. These call in reinforcements.

All Distress Beacons are localised the same so that you are never sure which you are getting, so there is a degree of randomness and a small risk in setting one off.

Distress Beacons
There are 10 Distress Beacons, 8 are positive, 2 are negative.
The following are possible Reinforcements when you set off a Distress Beacon:
  • Tedster's Resistance Fighters, all Rank 1. On eTeam_Resistance.
  • Tedster's Resistance Fighters, all Rank 2. On eTeam_Resistance.
  • Tedster's Resistance Fighters, all Rank 3. On eTeam_Resistance.
  • Tedster's Resistance Fighters, a mix of Ranks. On eTeam_Resistance.
  • A Squaddie Templar. On eTeam_Xcom.
  • A Squaddie Reaper. On eTeam_Xcom.
  • A Squaddie Skirmisher. On eTeam_Xcom.
  • An X-Com Turret. On eTeam_Xcom.
  • A Full squad of The Lost. On eTeam_Lost.
  • A Robotic pod. On eTeam_Two. Either 3x Derelict MECs at Force Levels 1-5, or Julian's Sectopod Form at Force Level 6+.

@kinsect shouldn't

does this conflict with Alternative DLC Integration?
more specifically Julian and the Derelict Mec mini-raider faction

Yeah they don't interact directly but if he's attached a loot table to the standard julian template, which is what this mod calls, you should get his loot fine

I haven't seen Julian from this mod with Alternate DLC Integration active, but knowing what the mods do, they should work together. And, since this mod doesn't touch the loot table for Julian, you should be able to use a distress beacon Julian to get the core you need for ADLCI too.

@MrCloista Will this work with Alternate DLC Integration, which also uses the Julian Sectopod?

@Leyshade Distress Beacon is functionally only configs it uses entirely vanilla functionality. If anything is stopping it mod wise, that mod would break anything that can summon reinforcements. Like I said, chances are it's hitting the unit limit.

@MrCloista - Is a more nuanced issue that's a mod-to-mod problem we believe, that's causing encounter's to not be found, preventing the spawning in of units from that angle. Was hoping for private conversation to diagnose anything within DB's code that would be affected unnaturally by changes other's have made (so they're work can be improved).
MrCloista  [author] 3 Jun, 2024 @ 4:00am 
@Leyshade if you are experiencing issues with spawning that would be due to having too many units on the map, as there is a hard limit which prevents further spawns (also causes things like Codex not spawning when skulljacking officer). This mod uses the standard method for spawning and is confirmed working as intended.
