is a revised version of directed energy weapons that would work with weapon core 2.5 by another author https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2560691092&searchtext=directed+

May I mod this one?

gee i sure wish dependencies didn't auto download.

I have been trying to figure out where the heck those laser turrets and shields are coming from, i've been watching mod IDs through blocks in game by using different tools and got nothing except original sources that i am not even subscribed to. I have reinstalled my game several times. After all that done i had nothing left but to carefully read through 80+ mod descriptions that i subscribed to years ago to find out that THIS NPC mod is "autoloading" something that i never desired to see. Great. Just great. Took several hours. I beg you, please, highlight the fact that your creation is loading different mods. Thank you Jasper, i'd never figure this out without your comment.

This mod has dependencies on other mods that are obsolete and/or broken. Probably should avoid until/unless updated.

@Jeffers

Load Game -> Edit Settings -> Mods

Add or remove whatever mods there are.

I added this Mod onto a Nitrado server, and later took it off. Any ideas on how to remove the extra mods associated with it?

I wish you would make this weaponcore compatible. I'm surprised at you, Meridius_IX/Lucas for not fixing this mod sooner. I subscribe to almost all of your mods, but unfortunately now I have to take this one out of my line up.

Doesn't seem like this mod is working as intended now. While it installs on current SE builds fine and ships do spawn, it doesn't seem any of the weapons work. Instead I get repeated instances of ships with their shields on doing a crash dive on my Earth-like planet base, never firing a shot, but just bouncing around along the terrain and anything else it bumps into on my base. All I have to do is punch through the shields, disable the ship, and viola, I have a huge new pile of scrap parts.

Would be great if somebody could pick this mod up and get it working. YMMV.

Sad to see this mod no longer works because of Atlas superlaser, and current state of WC disabling vanilla weapons.

It's working. But be careful about the mods you use. In my experience, some weapon core mods cause issues, specially Inquisitor gone mad, unable to fly properly. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly which ones yet.

hope fully this get update i never got to chance to try it.

Based on the current state of the dependent mods, is this still usable?

@SunGod you're just going to have to go in creative and save the ships as they spawn. you can do this by doing CTRL + B

What's the best way to find the blueprints for the ships in this mod? Been trying to dig them up in my spawnable list of ships, but not having any luck finding them. Especially looking for the ringed one.

is there a way to get this without the weapon mods??

Eventually™ :P

This by far is one of my fav mods. Would love to see a Formic home world just crawling with Formic to an insane level.

Nice I really need a good pirate mod for planets, and it will be cool to have i using the rivalAI mod to try and find players, and not just spawn and know where they are.

Eventually. I want to update it with some of the encounters that appeared in the last season of that stream series as well.

Any luck we will see this mod added to the RivalAi?

The Atlas super laser mod you have linked is discontinued. do these work with the weapons core atlas super laser?

Formic Invasion(custom weapons) will by nice :)

Hi. Can you create version for custom weapons , have my own weapons pack used in game and weaponcore , and want use it with Formic mod but dont want energy weapons and railgun. Problem is when sub Formic , game want download all weapons to add form your suggestions. If is possible make it :)

actually the formic are from "Enders game" from what i know

Wow, Thanks for the quick answer. I guess i'll have to find some way or just simply not use them myself. Thanks

The autoloading dependencies is the same as if you loaded the mods yourself - so any of those blocks would be available to players as well.

So the dependencies auto loading means I do not need to manually select them? If so will they be available to me? I don't wan't to have things like nanites available for me but It's okay if the npcs use them.

Do I need to restart my world for the mod to work?

unless, like me, you would like to create a "survival impossible" style scenario :)

i see.

Because of the nature of this mod (and the difficulty that comes with it), you probably should not load it on your server until your players are ready to take on such a persistent challenge

There's no mechanism in place that spawns them on a separate timer

@DirectedEnergy is there a way to edit the spawn rate of the ship from your mod? I add it to make my server a little difficult, but i got attacked by 6 big ships, and it does not stop sending them my way. I would like it to spawn them maybe like every 3 to 4 hours to give players some.

OK...gotcha! Thanks for the clarification. I'm looking forward to a close encounter of the awesome kind... :)

Not a PCU requirement, but sort of close to that. It measures your combat and production capability primarily, plus a few other factors. Once you've built up enough to see the flying refrigeration ships, you're getting close to seeing the tougher encounters

I have a somewhat developed Mars base with this mod installed (and all the additional required mods) from the beginning of the game when I landed in a respawn pod on the planet, but nothing has spawned so far. Is there a PCU threshold over which the spawner will start spawning the NPCs? (And, yes, I have ingame scripts enabled.)

@mindlessmrawesome Ender's Game is one of our favorite novels. We borrowed the name, but the motivation and technology is different.

Direct Energy Weapons has fixed the issue it seems :P

If you blacklist the modID for directed energy weapons in the spawner config, it should safely use anything else it can find.

Directed Energy Weapons is broken, causing game crashes. Is it ok to remove it for now? I'm using NPC Weapons, will it fill the gap? Thanks.

Um, I'm pretty sure Ball&Chain got the formics from ender's game...

You should do some of the ships from the others, in the bobiverse.

The Formic are also the aliens from Ender's Game. I think that;s where the Ball & Chain got the name.

badass.... is there a boss encounter on this one?

Good work, loving your mods, was wondering if i would be allowed to tweak and reupload some of your modular encounter mods for a server im running? if there is a specific way to do it please let me know, dont want to step on any toes but first time potentially "tweaking" someones mods :) thankyou

You will not survive...

Oh Gawd what have you done! Were Doomed! Doomed I say! Nice one Lucas!

Oh ho ho, what have we here? Looks familiar... :D
