REBF Endless - PvE Wave Defense - 1.04 (New Destroyers and Frigates) (HotFix3)

--- Introduction ---

One command base to defend, sixteen hostile factories pouring out enemy fighters and warships relentlessly. How many can you take down before being overwhelmed?

You start in a command base with a 'shield generator' beacon that you have to defend. Use the buttons in the command base to start the enemy waves at your preferred difficulty and intensity. The starting command base comes with three heavy fighters for you to use. There are also allied factories you can activate in the mission control room for reinforcements.

This scenario is a battle playground, where you can swiftly start a state of non-stop slaughter by defending against unlimited enemies. It runs in creative mode by default, so spawning in your blueprints and blowing everything up is encouraged.

Details of how everything works are in the command base's mission control room.

--- Console Versions ---

Mod.io (console Redux version): https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/rebf-endless-wave-defence-redux

The mod.io files above may not work; they are experimental attempts at making a console-playable version. I have high hopes for the above. Let me know if it works on Xbox / PS, etc. (I can't test myself, since I don't have a console.) If this is successful, I'll upload the full REBF version on mod.io.

Special thanks to Madirish[mod.io] for helping to test my stuff!

--- Updates ---

• 10/08/24 Update: Added 8 Large-Grid Corvette Factories (1.02)
  
• 25/08/24 Update: Added 2 Heavy Fighter Factories, replacing factories 5+6. (1.03)
  
• 25/08/24 Update: Added 'AI Dongle'. Fixed Timed-Waves. Added 'delay stagger' to all factories for smoother sim speed.
  
• 28/08/24 Update: Reduced H. Fighter Factory production by half to improve in-game performance.
  
• 28/08/24 Update: Replaced corvette factories 7 and 8 with destroyer factories. They have expanded range and radius from previous factories and can build 2 new destroyers and 2 new frigates. (1.04)
  
• 31/08/24 Update: Replaced medium + heavy fighters with 'redux' versions to improve game performance. Big difference.
  
• 31/08/24 Update: Set AFP faction to accept all invitations by default for smoother multiplayer.
  
• 02/09/24 Update: Modified 'redux' fighters to look more natural, solved an edge case where they wouldn't build properly at low sim speeds.
  
• 19/05/2025 Update: Reset small-grid rocket-turret groups after 'fieldwork update' broke their grouping; all fixed now. Also fixed bug where activating heavy fighter factory 5 would accidentally also trigger the allied heavy fighter factory.

--- Current Projects ---

Completed:

• Make REBF playable on console (done?)
  
• Build destroyer factories (done)
  
• Upload 1.04 for destroyer / corvettes (done)
  
• Build 'redux' heavy fighters to not lag the game while printing, upload (done)
  
• Build allied version of destroyer factory (done, uploaded)
  
• Rebuilt the 'Achilles', since the internals were a mess (done, uploaded)
  
• Taking a break (always)

-

Upcoming:

• Make media for 1.03 / 1.04 Update (tbc)
  
• Setting up a weapon core version, which I'll upload separately. Just need to finish RBF destroyers + AFP versions. (in progress)

There isn't much extra I can do with the scenario at this point due to processing power limitations, adding more content would make it basically unplayable.
